"Hey! Don't you see that there are customers here, and you're still chatting instead of greeting them?!"
As Gina pounded the front desk forcefully, the waitresses who were busy exchanging the bombshell looked up. However, they shot Gina's looks of annoyance in turn, clearly not interested. "So you want a room? Is that it?" "You brat! Is this how you treat your customers?! Where's your manager?! Bring him here!"
Gina was at once furious.
She was now the mother of Lanecorp's board chairwoman, but some brat working at a karaoke box was giving her an attitude?!
Seeing Gina yelling and drawing attention, Helen frowned and strode up, taking her arm and snapping under her breath, "Mom, we're here for Uncle Gavin, and not here to play. Could you not draw so much attention?"NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
"Hmph."
Gina snorted coolly.
Although she agreed with her daughter, she still pursed her lips unhappily. "You can tell right away that the kidnapper isn't someone important, picking a shitty place like this for the exchange. Just being here really cheapens us."
"What was that?!"
One of the waitresses was at once upset, slamming her hand on the table and snapping, "If you don't like it here, then you can leave! We could really do without guests like you, insulting us as soon as you come in! Who do you think you are?!"
"Did you just raise your voice at
me?!" Gina shrieked, pointing at that
sharp-tongued waitress. "You
shameless brat, speaking to me in such a manner! Don't you know who an you test me, this shitty karaoke box will close down tomorrow!" to
The waitress snorted. "Go on, do it if you can! Stupid hag, trying to act all important!"
"That's enough! All of you, stop!"
Helen strode up, snapping coldly before wheeling on Gina. "Do you really have to make everything difficult for your daughter?" "But..."
Gina frowned. "Don't you get it? We're not people who have to suffer through some waitresses' attitude in a place like this! Just look at them, they have no manners at all-"
The waitresses heard that and scoffed in turn. "Right, right! Because you have plenty of manners!"
"Stop!"
Helen strode up to Gina's face right then, frowning as she snapped, "You never change, Mom! You're always belittling others and sucking up to bigwigs! How does that make us different from those waitresses?"
"Just look at Frank-has he ever used his importance to bully others? Be it homeless folk or paperboys, he would treat them all as equals. Why don't you learn from him instead of being so vain?"
"Bah!" Gina spat coldly right then. "You're still mentioning him?! Don't you know why we're here in the first place?! If Frank had handed over that stupid herb from the start, would I be here, suffering through that brat's insults?!" to
"Exactly."
Huub's eyes flashed coldly as Helen was still mentioning Frank, and he came over, reaching out to hold her mother
waist as he chuckled. "Your force
is right. We all had to come in. because your ex-husband couldn't give up a simple herb." to
