Supreme Mars novel Chapter 115

The lobby manager was astonished. Only then did he realize how wrong he was about the young visitor.

The machine at the entrance could only read the regular members’ information, while the supreme members information weren’t loaded in it, because they were usually received by the big boss of Riverside Club personally!

The thing was, hardly any supreme members entered through the gate.

The lobby manager almost cried. "Boss, I… I didn’t know that mister is a supreme member…"

"Go pick up your paycheck and fuck off!"

The head of Riverside Club roared before coming to Leo’s side in a trot and saying obsequiously, "Sir, I’m sorry that my subordinate didn’t recognize you. Please forgive me…"

Leo threw a glance at him and suddenly remembered that he had been to Riverside Club before.

Last time, he came in the company of Alan, the richest man of Emerdale, and bought the world treasure "Venus’ Tear" at the price of one billion dollars as the wedding ring for Lydia. Only the supreme members could get in the private box arranged by Alan.

"You may leave now." Leo didn’t even bother to argue with a nobody.

"Thank you! Thank you sir…"

The head of Riverside wiped the sweat from his forehead and caught up with Leo at once.

Riverside Club was a place for leisure, entertainment, clubbing, commercial use and so on. There were five floors in the building. The sales room Leo and Alan were in last time was on the top floor, while the tonight’s dinner party was held on the second floor.

Leo glanced back at the head of Riverside Club and said, "Go on with your business. I’ll have a walk around."

"OK."

The head of Riverside Club knew some big shots didn’t like being followed around, so he agreed and left.

Leo came to the banquet hall. Since the dinner party hadn’t started yet, people gathered in groups with wine in their hands and were talking and laughing while soft music was playing.

The guests of tonight’s dinner party were the bosses of the companies headquartered in International Commerce Center. Each of them was of high social status and accompanied by stunning female companions, while only Leo was alone, which made him seem out of place.

"Leo…" Suddenly, Caroline’s surprised voice came from behind. "How did you get in?"

Leo looked back, only to see Caroline staring at him in astonishment.

However, she had clearly seen the doorman stopped him while Leo was trying to get in. Could it be… the lobby manager allowed him in?

Leo replied faintly, "I also came to attend the dinner party, so someone took me in."

Caroline asked doubtfully, "You mean you’re invited to this dinner party?" After that, she realized something and said with a look of contempt on her face, "Well, I see. You came in with someone, so you don’t even have a female companion with you…"

Caroline assumed so because Riverside Club wouldn’t just let anyone in for no reason.

Thinking so, Caroline was more certain that Leo was a sponger and sniffed, "Do you have any self-esteem left? Everyone present is important and respectable. What are you? Don’t you feel embarrassed sitting here?"

Caroline’s shrill voice and mean words sounded quite harsh in the quiet banquet hall, and suddenly, many people moved their eyes to them.

Leo stared at Caroline with his piercing eyes. "How did you know I’m a sponger?"

"It’s so obvious. You don’t even have a female companion, and you’re wearing a tuxedo worth thousands of dollars. Did you rent it?"

Caroline sized up Leo’s expensive outfit and despised him more.

Nowadays, people compared with each other in this material world. However, the lowest form of comparison was to compare cars, watches and businesses.

Meanwhile, the highest form of comparison was the one between people.

The quality of the woman around the man was the symbol of his social status, and each boss present tonight was accompanied by pretty woman. It was a sign of power and status.

Vice versa, since the man beside Caroline was Benedict, the owner of International Commerce Center, she couldn’t feel prouder, and thought she had fully integrated into the privileged.

Leo seemed out of place because he was the only one alone. Even if he was wearing a customized tuxedo, it looked as if he rented it.

"What’s wrong with Mr. Lawson? How could he let anyone in?"

"Our dinner party is disgraced by this nobody."
