John kneeled with a thump. "Master Cross, I'm so sorry. I know it was my fault. Please forgive me." His voice trembled as he continued, "I was and will always be your servant. Please. I'm begging you. I'm willing to do anything for you."
All these years, John would use his artifice and deviousness to obtain his desires. That was how he finally became the general manager with a three million annual income.
If he were sacked, he would have nothing left.
At this point, he did not care about his dignity or image anymore. He could only beg for Nathan to spare him.
The onlookers were puzzled. The man that was kneeling at the feet of Nathan Cross was the arrogant general manager.
Disdain towards John was written all over everyone's faces. Meanwhile, Nathan was getting admirable looks.
Who would've thought that Nathan had such capability!
Nathan looked down at John. He was prostrate on the floor, crying and begging for forgiveness. "Servant? You don't deserve to be my servant! You're just a wretched person who has no loyalty," Nathan said coldly.
"From now on, you are officially fired!"
"Security, take this fellow out of my sight.”
The security guards froze. Nathan was their future boss. At the realization, they responded quickly without hesitation towards Nathan's order. They carried John and kicked him out on the streets.
Nathan turned towards the receptionist. "Prepare three presidential suites right away. Is that possible now?" He said calmly.
The receptionist trembled and answered, "Mr. Cross... No, I mean, Boss. That wouldn't be an issue. I'll arrange it for you this instant."
All the hotel employees started getting back to their work routine. They were on their best behavior, assisting their new boss to their utmost ability. After witnessing what had happened to John, they were afraid of getting sacked.
Sean Smith and his family gazed at Nathan with admiration. "Nathan, you did great! You made us proud!" They exclaimed excitedly.
"Please do me a favor and tell Zayn to keep this hotel for himself. I'll buy my own hotel. I don't need his help,” Nathan said to Francis.
