Conglomerate Children Who Look Poor
chapter 5
Afzal hurried to leave the restaurant room.
Naomi and the head of Afzal's dorm, Harper, try to catch up to him.
“Afzal! what the hell are you doing? I'm not saying that I don't like gifts from you!” naomi's voice sounded anxious. “Afzal, don't go. Stay and come eat with us. It would be boring if you didn't exist!” Harper added.
Afzal replied with a smile, “you just continue the party without me. There's a job I really need to finish. But one thing I expect from you guys, please believe me, I can't possibly give a fake for Naomi.” Afzal did not know if his two friends believed him. In his heart he blamed his brother for giving him a shopping card with a minimal amount of transactions that were too large, Fifty thousand dollars. Although Naomi and Harper continue to persuade her to stay, Afzal still whistles loudly to leave.
“Did that Gembel already go?” welcome Danny after Naomi and Harper re-enter the restaurant room. “Danny, can't you stop degrading Afzal? What's the matter, you know? Hasn't he suffered enough?” Harper's been out of patience.
“Hahaha! He makes himself ashamed! Why would he buy a fake Hermes bag for Naomi? Moreover, what he chose was a limited edition exclusive bag. Really embarrassing!” danny was satisfied. Alice just smiled wryly and shook her head to hear it.
***
Outside the restaurant, Afzal walks down the street emotionlessly. When he was poor, he wanted to be rich. Now that the treasure was within his grasp, there was not the least bit of special and happy feeling. Moreover, despite having bought his friend a luxurious bag for fifty-five thousand dollars, he was still humbled and humiliated.
Afzal was thinking where he should go when his phone rang. There's a call from Jessica, her sister.
“Hai, sis!”
“Hai, Afzal, what are you doing?”
“Nothing, why?”
“Good then, I'm in need of your help.”
Afzal frowned curiously.
“You know Mayberry Commercial Street? I invested in it and expanded it when I visited you four years ago. Therefore I have to sign a renewal contract cooperation with other investors, but unfortunately I am not able to go there at this time.” Jessica continued, “That time I also put your name on the list of project developers. That means Mayberry Commercial Street belongs to both of us. So it won't make a difference even if you sign it. Please go there and represent me.”
There was no answer from Afzal.
“Halo? Afzal! You hear me?”
Of course Afzal heard all Jessica said. He's just really confused.
Mayberry Commercial Street's? it is one of the most important places in the city of Mayberry. There are many shops and business centers there. There is also a place called Wayfair Mountain Entertainment, which is located on a hill along the complex. A place that is usually visited by rich and famous people in the city of Mayberry.
Afzal tried to digest Jessica's explanation again. So, what does her brother mean is, they own Mayberry Commercial Street?
“So, are you not kidding? We are the owners of Commercial Street?” Afzal is still trying to find an explanation.
“Damn it! I've explained it to you at length and you think I'm just kidding? Why should I joke about this? I can't take care of all the business myself, Afzal. That's why I also put your name in. Now you own half of that street. I told Zack, owner of Wayfair Mountain Entertainment. When you get there later, you just say your name and say you are the second owner.”
“I..”
“I, already, yes! I need to attend another show soon. I'll hang up the phone first. Bye!”
Heather.tuut...
Afzal was still holding his phone without saying anything. He had never been to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment before and had no idea what would be there. Afzal took a deep breath before then hauling off a taxi and heading to Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.
Not long after, he arrived at the place his brother meant. Wayfair Mountain Entertainment combines restaurants, entertainment venues and hotels in one building. A very large villa on the hillside in the Mayberry Commercial complex.
Afzal raised his head in amazement and walked into the villa.
“Master, wait!” Suddenly some women stopped him. “Master, have you reserved a place?” one of them asked Afzal.
“I didn't place an order, but I'm here to meet someone,” Afzal replied with a smile. He watched the beautiful servants in front of him. Now he understood why Wayfair Mountain Entertainment was often referred to as a fairyland in Mayberry City.
About five or six receptionists who welcomed him seemed to be in the age range of freshly graduated college students. They all have a beautiful face with a model-like posture.
“You want to meet someone? who do you want to meet?” They frowned at Afzal's reply. There's a little cold attitude there.
“I'm here to meet Zack."
Afzal knew they must have looked down on him, but he still had to tell the truth.After hearing Afzal's reply, their facial expressions changed.
Looking for Mr Lyle? Does this man know who Mr Lyle is? Does he think he can meet Mr Lyle at will?
They then assume that Afzal must be just a prankster who wants to enter a luxury villa and feel what it is like. After all, Wayfair Mountain Entertainment was a famous place that could not be reached by just anyone. It will be easy for people like Afzal to enter and make up will meet someone even though they just want to look around the villa.
But they don't want to demean it. The girls are the educated class of university graduates. Although they were irritated by Afzal's behavior, they tried to be friendly and polite.
“Master, you must make an appointment first before meeting with Mr. Lyle. So you can't meet him today if you don't set the schedule beforehand. We suggest you come here again another time.” they try to drive Afzal away subtly.
Afzal then understood for sure these servants thought he just wanted to go around looking at the villa. He then thought about contacting Jessica to let Zack know that he was already there.
“Nona jane, what are you doing? oh, I just found out that just anyone can set foot in this Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.” a misty-haired man in neat clothes accompanied by a woman with thick makeup suddenly appeared. The young man noticed Afzal with a strange look and smiled at the receptionist.
“Sebastian, didn't you say that this is the most luxurious place in Mayberry City? why is there such a person here?” The woman asked in a spoiled manner.
The head receptionist, Jane, immediately apologized to the man and said, “Sorry, Mr. Lewis, we will sort this out soon.”
Sebastian sneered, “Yes better, because I invited my friends from abroad here. I feel this villa is a symbol of the splendor of Mayberry city. That's why I hope you don't lower the value of this place just because of trivialities. Miss Jane, I hope you also know that my father was on very good terms with your boss, Mr. Lyle.” Sebastian feels he would be more respected if he carried the name Mr. Lyle.
The woman Sebastian was holding smiled happily when he heard that he knew Zack. Yes, of course, because Mr. Lyle is an important and respected figure in the entire city of Mayberry. The woman did not expect that Sebastian had a close relationship with her.
Jane nodded, “Good Mr. Lewis. I understand.” He then turned to Afzal with a fierce look. “Master, please leave this place immediately! Don't make a mess and ruin our reputation. If not, I have to call the security officer.”
Jane grumbling.
“Good. I'll go out and call someone.” Afzal took a deep breath before then exiting the villa. He took his phone out of his pocket while walking out.
“Basic buggers! He must be a con man,” Sebastian said in a cold manner. “Pardon us for this disturbance, Mr. Lewis. This is rare at Wayfair Mountain Entertainment.” Jane tries to convince Sebastian and smiles kindly.
Sebastian nodded his head trying to understand.
“Ah that's it my friends have come! Hey, why don't you join us later, there'll be a little party there,” take Sebastian.
“Later I will stop by your party if I have time, Mr. Lewis.” Answer Jane.
Sebastian watched Jane with a flirtatious look before then nodding his head. He then took the wallet out of his pants pocket and moved towards the administration desk to complete the payment of the room he had rented.
The other receptionist looked at Jane with envious eyes and asked, “Jane, do you know Mr Lewis too?” Jane nodded arrogantly and said, “Of course. We've been working here since college, what's the point of working as a receptionist if you're not trying to get to know rich people like Mr Lewis? And did you see that woman with Mr Lewis? The family of Mr. Lewis has a business in housing and his family fortune reaches more than two billion dollars!"
“Wow! No wonder his father has such a close relationship with our boss. It turns out that Mr. Lewis's family was also no less wealthy.” The receptionists could not take their eyes off Sebastian.
“Hahaha... And you remember the man who was here looking for Mr Lyle? Mr. Lyle is currently in a busy meeting with the owner of the Mayberry Camber of Commerce. That guy was really silly.” Jane added with a laugh. He then moved to approach Sebastian. But how surprised Jane because at the door was seen the man she had driven back into the villa.
“Why are you back here?” asked Jane in a surprised and irritated tone. Another receptionist also looked at Afzal upset.
