Conglomerate Children Who Look Poor
chapter 22
Zack came to say hello.
Afzal did not like the presence of Zack. Afzal told Zack that he did not want to reveal his identity. What did Zack mean by coming to greet him?
Not long after that Zack was already in the pavilion.
Quinton knew Zack.
“Lyle....Mr Lyle!”
Quinton hurriedly greeted Zack.
Apparently the manager that Afzal meant was the richest man in Mayberry city, Zack Lyle!
Alice was shocked, but this time she was speechless.
May Afzal be Lucky!
As soon as he appeared before Afzal's entourage, Zack nodded his head.
Then Zack tries to greet Afzal respectfully, “Master Ger..”
Suddenly Zack remembered with Afzal's request that for a while he had not wanted to open up who he really was.
Zack said: “Bro Afzal, are you happy with all the arrangements I made for you today?”
Afzal nodded and smiled.
Quinton suddenly interjected and said, “But Mr. Lyle, Afzal just made your painting broken and fell into the water!”
“Yes, Mr Lyle! I had already reminded him not to take down his painting, but he did it anyway and ended up falling into the water!” Jacelyn immediately defended because she did not want to bear the consequences of the damage to the painting.
Naomi tries to defend Afzal.
“Mr Lyle, Afzal accidentally did it!”
Harper also defended Afzal and even asked Zack if there were things he could do to compensate for the damaged painting.
Zack began to understand the situation.
That not everyone in the room is Afzal's true friend and Zack can make sure that no one knows who Afzal really is.
Zack finds out that Afzal's character is very humble and secretive. It is true for him now that Afzal really does not want to show that he is very rich and influential.
Zack recalled all of Afzal's words. Therefore he did not want to be stupid and make those in that place become suspicious of Afzal's true identity.
Zack pretended to be surprised and exclaimed, “What? The painting fell into the water?” Zack said trembling and a face of fear. Zack was making a show as if he cared so much about the oil painting!
The atmosphere suddenly turned tense and Naomi said anxiously, “Master Lyle, we are really sorry about the painting!”
“Bro Afzal, did you know that the price of the painting is more than one hundred and fifty thousand dollars? And again that painting is my boss's favorite thing. How will I be able to explain if my boss asks about the painting?”
Afzal knows that Zack is on a show to help him get out of the painting without having to open up to him, that he is the owner of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
Hehehe.
Afzal put a sorry look on his face and said, “Mr Lyle, I really didn't expect this to happen but I can make sure that it's not entirely my fault.”
“Not your fault?” Zack asked while frowning.
“Agree! If you make a mistake, you must be happy to admit it. Unless you're not a real man!”
The girls looked back at Afzal with a condescending look.
“I think Afzal is afraid of not being able to pay one hundred and fifty thousand dollars out of his own pocket. That's why he tried to pin his mistakes on others.” Harold added to spill his envy onto Afzal.
Afzal managed to prove that he was better than Quinton and Harold, so both of them felt very jealous of Afzal.
Afzal smiled and said, “Mr Lyle, I admit that it was really me who took down the painting. Well, when I was trying to hang the painting back to its place and then suddenly there was a wind blowing flying the painting. That's why I said that this incident was not entirely my fault!”
“Hahaha. Afzal, you are such a shame!”
They could no longer endure the annoyance.
Quinton said, “That's right Afzal! So now you blame the wind? Time yes wind blamed!”
Zack acted as if he was thinking hard about digesting Afzal's words.
After being silent for a while, Zack patted his own forehead as if he had just realized something and said, “Brother Afzal, thank you for your explanation. After I thought through the cooking, it seemed like I should apologize to you for this misunderstanding. You are right, that the cause of the painting being damaged is the wind blowing and it is not your fault at all!”
“Yes, you should not display the painting there because it is prone to being blown away,” Afzal confirmed his words.
“Good, Brother Afzal. Thanks for reminding me. I will ask my staff to handle this matter. I think it's purely a mistake we put the paintings there.”
Whahuh?
Zack's reaction was shocking. How could Zack just accept an Afzal explanation?
Quinton choked and felt very uncomfortable. Meanwhile Alice and her friends also felt very bad.
“Alright, once again I thank you for all your service today, Mr. Lyle. If you don't mind, we want to say goodbye now.”
Afzal smile. He was impressed by Zack's playful way of handling the situation.
Upon returning from Wayfair Mountain Entertainment, their minds were filled with confusion about Afzal. Especially Alice, she felt that everything was still like a dream, for her Afzal was getting confused.
“Afzal, you are great! I still can't believe how you can influence Mr. Lyle so easily when at first he cared so much about the painting!”
Naomi praises Afzal shortly after they leave the villa.
Alice unintentionally eavesdropped.
Alice felt something was off. Is everything that happens as simple as it seems?
Upon arrival at the Dormitory, Alice and her friends have not been able to ease the uncomfortable feeling of the many shocking events they just experienced.
If Afzal had won a lottery worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, maybe the situation would have been easier for them to understand.
Afzal can not only afford a limited edition luxury bag, but also can treat them all in a luxury dining place at a fantastic cost.
Plus the matter of the painting, how could Afzal so easily be able to influence Zack not to dispute the incident.
It's weird, right?
“Alice, what do you think is really going on?
Alice sat on the bed listening to Jacelyn who was talking while her hands were busy cleaning up the remnants of make up on her face.
