Chapter 35 This Jerk Bullied Me
"You better kneel down and apologize to me quickly, and if my mood improves, I might let you off the hook. Otherwise, I will call the manager right now and have you dismissed!" The petite beauty stood with her hands on her hips, looking very pleased as she addressed James.
"If you want the manager to dismiss me, then so be it. I am not an employee here, after all!" James calmly retorted.
The petite beauty chuckled mockingly and continued, "At this point, you're still trying to deceive me. Even if you're not an employee here, you surely can't be a customer either."
"James, I know what you're up to. Wayne told me all about you at the Lumina University yesterday; you are just a poor fellow delivering food!" James had no patience to continue the conversation and turned to walk away.
"Don't you dare leave!" The petite beauty grabbed James by the arm and persisted, "James, it must not have been easy for you to find a job here, right? At least, it must pay more than delivering food, and it's more respectable. You wouldn't want to lose this job, would you?"
"Please release my arm. I am not an employee here, and I have already apologized to you for yesterday's incident. Please stop bothering me," James replied impatiently to the petite beauty.
Even though the petite beauty in front of him had an attractive figure and appearance, her demeanor left James unimpressed.
"You're still trying to deceive me; it looks like I'm going to have to teach you a lesson!" The petite beauty took out her phone and made a call.
"Is this Mr. Jackson?" the petite beauty inquired with a furrowed brow.
"Miss Hall, what seems to be the matter?" Mr. Jackson responded.
"Your restaurant has an employee who tried to assault me. Hurry and come over and fire this person, or I will call the authorities!" she unreasonably exclaimed.
"Miss Hall, please calm down; I will be right over!" If the news of an employee assaulting a customer spread, it would have a severely detrimental impact on Moonlight Garden. So manager Mark Jackson nervously responded.
"He's in the bathroom; come quickly!" The petite beauty said coolly before hanging up.
"Mr. Jackson will be here soon, and we'll see what you can do!" Cackling triumphantly, the petite beauty grabbed hold of James' clothes
"As I mentioned earlier, I am not an employee here. Even if you call the manager, it won't make any difference!" James exclaimed helplessly.
"You seem guilty to me!" the petite beauty sneered, then continued, "If you kneel down now and apologize to me, I might let you go. Otherwise, be prepared to be dismissed!"
After a moment of hesitation, James lowered his voice and said, "Fine, let's wait for the manager to arrive."
The petite beauty hadn't expected James to be so defiant at this point.
After a brief pause, the petite beauty remained silent, waiting for the restaurant manager to handle James.
In an instant, Mr. Jackson from Moonlight Garden rushed over with a group of security guards to where James and the petite beauty were.
The commotion immediately drew the attention of the onlookers.
"Miss Hall, are you alright?" Mr. Jackson hurried to the petite beauty's side, looking tense.
"This employee of your establishment deliberately splashed water on my face, Mr. Jackson; quickly, dismiss him!" the petite beauty demanded as she noticed the customers watching, deciding not to mention James’ attempt to assault her and choosing another excuse.
Upon hearing this, Mr. Jackson turned to James, a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"Mr. Jackson, quickly dismiss this man for me!" the petite beauty demanded impatiently.
"Miss Hall, are you sure you've got the right person? This individual is not an employee of our Moonlight Garden!" Mr. Jackson looked at the petite beauty helplessly.
"He's not an employee of yours?" The petite beauty was taken aback by this information, her expression showing shock.
"I've already told you I am here to dine!" James responded solemnly.
Enraged, the petite beauty, her face flushed, insisted. "Mr. Jackson, even if this person is not an employee of Moonlight Garden, you should still escort him out!"
"Miss Hall, you are putting me in a difficult position. You are both customers of the restaurant; I cannot just ask a customer to leave," Mr. Jackson explained with a troubled expression.
"You!" The petite beauty froze in anger as she heard Mr. Jackson's response.
"Nancy, what's going on here?" A melodious and elegant voice suddenly spoke through the crowd.
Everyone instinctively turned to see who it was, including James.
Upon laying eyes on this woman, James was stunned, his expression one of utter amazement.
Though the University of Lumina had its fair share of beauties, the ones there paled in comparison to this woman.
Even Jennifer and Ashley couldn't hold a candle to her.
Dressed in a sleek black professional skirt, her long legs clad in sheer stockings, her tall and voluptuous figure exuded allure.
James found himself entranced, his gaze intense.
He felt that such a stunningly elegant woman could only exist in television dramas; to see her in reality was almost unreal.
James couldn't fathom how such a striking beauty could exist in the real world.
The professional woman had been waiting in the private room for quite some time and, growing concerned when the petite beauty hadn't returned, decided to step outside to check on things.
To her surprise, as soon as she stepped out of the room, she witnessed the conflict unfolding between the petite beauty and James.
"Nancy, what exactly is going on here?" the professional woman inquired with a furrowed brow, glancing at James.
"James just bullied me, sis!" The petite beauty rushed over to the professional woman, her voice tinged with a hint of tears.
"How did he bully you?" The professional woman asked after a moment of surprise.
"He splashed water on my face!" the petite beauty said pitifully.
After giving James another glance, the professional woman said, "Nancy, I think it might have been unintentional; maybe we should let it go."
Upon hearing the professional woman's words, James's eyes lit up; he found this professional woman much more mature than the petite beauty.
"You don't understand; he did it on purpose!" the petite beauty hastily exclaimed.
"How can you be so sure that he did it intentionally?" The professional woman knew her cousin's temperament, and with a charming smile on her face, she looked around at the people present, including James.
After a moment of hesitation, the petite beauty approached the professional woman and whispered in her ear.
Upon hearing the petite beauty's words, the professional woman appeared puzzled but chose not to say much more.
