‘The audacity of some people!’ Gerald thought to himself, irritated.
Yolanda seemed to be quite fond of Jarvis, which was why she had invited Queeny along. Queeny would act as her wingwoman so that she could get closer to Jarvis.
Yolanda knew what she wanted. It was as though anyone other than Jarvis didn’t deserve her attention. Even though Gerald had just met her, he was already fairly annoyed with her attitude.
“So, what did your dad say, Hugo?” The question came from Queeny.
“Well, he said that he can’t help us… He said he wasn’t able to contact anyone here. What about you, Jarvis?” asked Hugo.
As Hugo turned to look at him, Jarvis seemed to have just ended his phone call as well.
“Any luck?” asked Queeny. She was now willing to pay for a ticket since they were no longer for sale. After all, getting a ticket would still be a great honor.
“My dad told me to wait for a bit… He’s going to contact the vice manager!” replied Jarvis.
Gerald had been standing at the side and he was beginning to panic as well. Though the springs had been built by his company, he didn’t know anyone here. It would appear that they only hired locals, along with the older employees back in Wayfair Mountain.
If it wasn’t for the strong security system that had been implemented, Gerald wouldn’t be just standing in place doing nothing. However, the sun was blazing and he was carrying a lot of things as well.
Annoyed, Gerald said, “Hey! Are we going in or aren’t we? I’ve been standing under this heat for hours!”
“F*ck you! Jarvis is already contacting some people so just be useful and shut up!” replied Queeny, slightly embarrassed.
Ten more minutes passed and Gerald was beginning to feel extremely dehydrated. There wasn’t any shade nearby and Queeny had refused to let him wait in the car as well.
What a pain! Now at his wits’ end, Gerald resorted to texting a message to Zack. He told him to have someone escort them. Waiting any longer would just be a waste of time and energy.
“Wow! You actually managed to get the manager to let us in!” exclaimed Queeny and Yolanda excitedly.
Yolanda was especially excited. It was as if her admiration for Jarvis was never-ending.
At that moment, the leader of the other group approached Jarvis. “Hey there handsome, think you could let us in too? We’d gladly pay for the tickets!” said the leader, her admiration for Jarvis clearly reflected in her eyes
“Sure darling! Go right on ahead!” Jarvis was overjoyed. He never knew that his father held so much power. He was able to contact the vice manager and the manager as well! His ego immediately inflated immensely. The two groups then walked into the building cheerily.
Once they were gone, a female escort approached the employee before asking, “What happened? Did the manager really speak up for them?”
“Well, the manager said that one of our VIPs had arrived and we weren’t giving them access. He also told us to be on our best behavior! It would be unwise to disappoint this VIP after all!”
“Understood!”
