Chapter 15 “This! Where did you get this?” Gary asked in a low and confused tone. He was completely stunned.
“Is there a problem?” Darius asked, slightly frowning.
Sarah and David, along with Dana and the other onlookers were confused at Gary‘s sudden behavior. They were sure that he was going to kick Darius out after exposing him for the liar and pretender he was, but that was not what happened.
Gary couldn‘t help but look Darius up and down once again, but still shook his head. He was the manager of this store and had been doing it for years, so it was natural that he recognized that the card was out of the ordinary. 1
At a glance, he could tell that the card was a customized card made exclusively for the head of a top business or company. However, the appearance of the male in front of him was not matching with what he imagined. He certainly didn‘t look like someone who controlled such an astronomical amount of power and wealth. He was about to confront the said peasant when he remembered something vital. Just a few days ago, there was a rumor among the upper echelons about the ownership of a top consortium being transferred to another individual. However, there was little known about the individual, as all information about the individual had been tightly protected.
Gary suddenly felt beads of sweat gathering on his forehead. What if this individual here was the person who was granted ownership of the consortium? It was a terrifying possibility when he thought about it. It all made sense when he thought about it like that. Otherwise, how would be in possession of that exclusive card? If he treated him badly in anyway, he wouldn‘t even know how he died!
“Of course not sir. Welcome to our store. I‘m very sorry for any inconveniences we‘ve caused.” Gary said in a polite tone. His attitude had taken a 180 degree turn when he thought of this
individual being the head of a top consortium. He knew he couldn‘t afford to offend this person.
Darius smiled when he saw that the manager‘s attitude had chung u. It was no surprise that he was able to become the manager of this luxurious store. He certainly had the qualities. “Please pardon her inadequacies. She doesn’t know the weight behind this card.” Mr. Gary said while glaring at Dana, the sales lady, which made her shrink back in fear. She wasn‘t dumb and she saw that from the way Mr. Gary treated Darius, he had to be somebody important. “Why don‘t you come inside? We can conclude the transaction there.” Gary said politely, even bowing lightly to Darius, completely stunning the onlookers present.
Darius nodded in acknowledgement of Gary‘s behavior and hospitality before making his way to the special room he was directed to.
