No 1 Supreme Warrior novel Chapter 457

Then Ruben hung up the phone.

After a short pause, Jemima asked, “Who is that?”

“Just a lunatic claiming himself to be the president of J Group. How ridiculous!” Ruben answered with disdain.

But Jemima still looked a bit worried, “What if it’s true. Your phone rang just after that guy finished his call.”

Ruben put on a more contemptuous look, “Impossible. Do you believe that the president of our company would actually make me a call in person?”

“I am sure it must be Irene who told him my number and he told one of his friends to make that fake call to me. After all, I have been using the same number for almost nine years. And he is gonna fool me with that stupid trick? So ridiculous!”

With her eyes fixed on him, Jemima seemed suddenly thrilled, “Honey, you really impress me!”

“Of course!” he looked quite cocky.

Jemima then shifted her gaze to both Irene and Leo, “But I gotta say that was a nice play. You almost got me. But thanks to my husband, he is brilliant enough to notice the truth!”

Irene was rendered quite awkward.

So was Caroline. She felt like being overwhelmed with a sense of humiliation.

Nobody dared to offend her if they were in Emerdale right now.

But Leo still remained unmoved on his seat while continuing with the food. He didn’t seem annoyed at all.

However, Ruben kept no provoking, “You are asking the president here to punish us, right? Okay, I would like to stay and see who is gonna come to help you.”

Leo still remained unspoken. The restaurant wasn’t far away from the J Group. So it should only take Alan a few minutes to get here.

But then the manageress walked over to stop Leo from continuing with his meal, “Sorry, sir, Miss Jemima has ended the bill and you shall leave this room. If you still fancy a meal here, please make reservation for another room.”

Caroline was irritated, “But it’s we who made the reservation of this room! We have the right to decide whether to end the bill but they don’t!”

The manageress replied with a smile as usual, “Sorry, Miss Jemima is an honorable guest of ours. She has exclusive right to decide on whichever room she wants.”

Hearing that, Irene walked over to refute, “Are you being biased?”

“Sorry, that’s the rule settled by Mr. Grant. Please stick to the rule.” The manageress remained a proud look while looking at Irene.

But Leo then put down the fork to look at the manageress, “Do you mean Caleb Grant?”

She smiled to reply, “Of course, who else could it be?”

Leo also smiled to reply, “Alright then, now you’re fired. Go pack your own stuff.”

Hearing that, the manageress seemed surprised.

But then she burst into laughter, “Excuse me? What did you say? I wish I wasn’t mistaken. But you just said you are gonna fire me?”

Leo nodded, “You don’t deserve this position. Besides, you don’t deserve to work to provide catering service. From now on, you no longer deserve a job in Hopkins.”

Stunned, the manageress then turned to look at Ruben and Jemima, trying hard to hold back her laughter, “Mr. Ruben, Miss Jemima, did he just say I was fired and I no longer deserve a job in Hopkins from now on?”

This time, both of them burst into greater laughter. And so did the rest of the other guests in the restaurant.

“Hey, the relationship between her and Mr. Grant has been known to all in Hopkins! It was exactly Mr. Grant who offered her the promotion.”

“Irene, your poor boyfriend is such a talent of bragging!”

“What an idiot!”

Both Ruben and Jemima stared at Irene mockingly.

Both Caroline and Irene showed an awkward look. When they were about to refute, Leo shook his head and looked at them seriously, “We have been through so much. Just trust me.”

Hearing that, they both paused for seconds with teeth biting on the lips hard.
