Conglomerate Children Who Look Poor
chapter 40
Everyone chimed in on each other, putting Afzal in a difficult situation.
Goddamnit! I really have to take revenge on them later.
Afzal is feeling hurt. He decided to leave the place so as not to see their faces again. The mood is really messy!
Suddenly the voice of the host was heard from on stage.
“Good, please calm down, ladies and gentlemen. Tonight..”
The opening ceremony is about to begin and the host begins to guide from the stage. Everyone immediately sat neatly in their respective places and the atmosphere in the room became silent.
Afzal who did not get a seat had to stand awkwardly in the middle of that magnificent hall. He ended up being the center of everyone's attention there.
“Eh, look at the guy. Why is she standing like a statue so?”
“He's a waiter? But she doesn't look like a waiter. Look, his shirt. Didn't-don't she come in here secretly to steal food?”
“Hahaha! Embarrassing. This poor man has no seat? The Ziegler family's how the hell to organize an event. How can there be people who can not sit until standing in the middle of the hall so.”
The other guests began to whisper.
At the same time, at a main table near the stage, a group of men and women were sitting there. This table is usually reserved for special guests and from special families.
The meeting hall at Grand Marshall Restaurant was indeed very large. Although Quinton arranged the table for Alice and her friends, but he could only put them at the middle table of the room. Because of course the front desk of the stage is only for guests who are really special and respected.
A young man at the front desk turned to the other man in white next to him, “My brother Aiden, my sister Elena, look at that! There seems to be a commotion here. Hahaha..there are people who want to steal food in this restaurant.”.
The man in white clothes then raised his head from his seat and turned to the direction the man had pointed to.
He rubbed his eyes to make sure he didn't see it wrong.
“Gosh! That's Mr Crawford!”
When hearing the word ‘Master Crawford’, Elena who had just been silent and did not care about the surroundings, immediately raised her head and was stunned. Elena still remembered Afzal's appearance when she first met him.
“Yes, it is indeed him!” Elena muttered.
“Jeez, it really is Mr Crawford!”
Several other men and women also recognized Afzal. They are confused about what is going on.
“Mr Crawford? What are you talking about? Aiden, he's just a beggar. Are you sure?”
Plakk!
The man in white who was none other than Aiden instantly slapped the man beside him hard when he referred to Afzal as a beggar.
“Damn it! Who are you calling a beggar? Are you tired of living?”
The man in Aiden's slap covered his face with a sense of offence.
“Because Mr Crawford is here, should we welcome him, Aiden?”
“Wait! Looks like something went wrong.”
Aiden tried to remain calm and pay attention to the central area of the hall. Aiden saw Afzal who was still standing there and at a table near Afzal some of the girls were seen laughing at him. Aiden understands now what's happening. It must have something to do with the situation when Aiden drove Afzal back to his campus yesterday.
Afzal has not revealed his identity.
Aiden understood that Afzal could not be so simple and simple in front of his friends if he had revealed his identity. Plus, if everyone knew who Afzal really was, he must have been surrounded by bodyguards who followed all the time, even on campus. He may not even be attending Mayberry University.
If they act rashly at this time, will make Afzal's identity revealed and will attract public attention. It is even feared that it will cause new problems for Afzal. It's the same as killing themselves.
Aiden's father is a man who is adept at analyzing and controlling difficult situations and this trait declines in Aiden.
“Oh, no, Aiden. Lookie! Mr. Crawford continues to be ridiculed and humiliated in front of a large crowd. This is our chance to take a step and help him! We can't just shut up to see him humiliated, right?” One of them urged Aiden with an anxious tone.
“Of course we won't be silent. But we must remember, we must not reveal Mr. Crawford's identity. All right, you all follow my plan.”
Aiden's been planning something in his head. He told his friends what they should do.
After hearing Aiden's explanation of the plan, they sighed and nodded in understanding. Fortunately, they were not rash and rushed to reveal the identity of Afzal.
From where Afzal stood, he was already preparing to leave the hall. Afzal was already feeling very embarrassed because everyone was watching him. He turned around preparing to head for the exit.
“Hey, buddy, don't go!”
Aiden and his friends suddenly stood up and everyone there turned to them.
“My friend, if you don't mind, this is where to join us.”
“Yes, sit here. We still have empty seats.”
A few people beside Aiden's table also stood up, some of them confused not understanding.
“Hah? What happened?”
“The young boss of the Imperial Treasure Pavilion, Mr Aiden, invited the beggar to his desk?”
“Yes! What's more, Mr. Aiden and the people at the table are among the nine largest business owners on Mayberry Commercial Street! They are very important people!”
“Besides Aiden from the Baker family, there is Miss Elena also from the Larson family. This... this is really..”.
They were confused to see what was happening.
The Baker family, the Larsons, and the Fhiser family were the ones who used to run Grand Marshall Restaurants and started their business on Mayberry Commercial Street, until now they have become rich and beautiful people.
Of course they are also people who are close to Zack. A group of influential and respected people.
Xavia, Yuri, Alice and the others were dumbfounded.
They had already heard about the people sitting at the front desk, but had never gotten a chance to meet. They were very surprised when the people who were seen actually invited Afzal to sit in front.
Afzal was also no less surprised to see Aiden, Elena and the others at this opening event as well. He did not pay attention to the guests in the room.
