Chapter 198 Confronting Huxley
The department manager frowned and said, “If the two of you were invited by Mr. Bjorn, you must have an invitation. So, please present it.”
“You’re really d*mn annoying. Can’t a person eat in peace?” Emrys said, clearly irritated.
The department manager’s face instantly darkened in response. “You’re making things difficult for me if you refuse to present your invitation card.”
He was even more certain that they had sneaked in without permission.
“Difficult, huh? Then don’t bother concerning yourself with it!” Emrys became unreasonable all of a sudden and kicked the buffet table over. This startled Cordelia, but she quickly realized that Emrys was deliberately causing trouble.
As expected, the department manager’s expression turned.extremely grim, and he hastily summoned a few security guards to apprehend Emrys.
The commotion instantly drew everyone’s attention. Huxley pushed through the crowd and came over, asking, “What’s going on?”
The department manager respectfully said, “These two were acting strangely. I asked them to show their invitation, but this young man flipped the table over.”
Splat!
No sooner had the department manager finished speaking, than an oil–stained invitation suddenly flew toward him, sticking to his face.
Emrys looked at Huxley with displeasure and said, “If this isn’t an invitation, then what is it? What’s wrong? Are we not allowed to eat? Then why did Mr. Bjorn invite us over? To watch you subordinates fawn over and flatter him? Is this how Mr. Bjórn taught you to treat honored guests?”
The department manager peeled the sticky invitation off his face, a hint of anger flickering in his eyes.
“Why didn’t you show your invitation earlier-”
Slap!
Before the department manager could finish his sentence, Huxley had already slapped him across the face. “Shut up, you ignorant fool! Hurry up and apologize to our esteemed guests?”
The department manager was seething with anger, but he dared not refute Huxley’s words. Grinding his teeth in frustration, he said reluctantly, “I apologize for misunderstanding both of you.”
Huxley waved his hand dismissively. “Nothing to see here.”
