Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 29

"Charlotte, you're going too far!"

Upon hearing that, Benjamin got to his feet immediately.

Liam followed suit. "No worries, Will. We'll leave with you."

Ever since entering university, this was the first time having someone standing up for me. I was really touched.

However, I was aware that Benjamin and Liam surely wished to stay back for that meal. The spread on the table was scrumptious indeed, and they might not even get to eat something like this at least once a year.

Thus, I went up to them and sat them back down on their seats. "Sit down, both of you. It's no big deal. I happen to be done eating, so I'll just go out for a walk. Just stay and eat, both of you."

As I said that, I walked right to the door.

Charlotte's voice then came from behind me. "William, why are you leaving? You can just sit on the couch and eat.

"There are so many dishes here, so you can just take whatever you want and eat over there. Why are you sulking?"

"I know, right? He should be thankful that he could even be here. Why is he showing an attitude?"

"People are finally taking some notice of him. Shouldn't he at least put on an act?"

I continued walking and left the private room.

Helping Charlotte out was because I felt that she was too pitiful to have been bullied like that. But, considering the way she was acting now, I would never lend her a helping hand again.

After leaving the hotel, I rubbed my hand on my stomach. I was only half-full. Just as I was contemplating where to go to fill the rest of my stomach, my dad called.

"Will, are you free tonight? The president of the Business Association heard that you're in Welsington City, and said that he wanted to see you.

"He's just lent you a hand, so how about you show some respect by coming over?"

"Sure."

By chance, I would get to eat when I was there, so I agreed without any hesitation.

"Where are you at the moment? He's waiting to pick you up."

"Dad, just tell him that it's fine. There are cabs lined up by the road. I will just flag one down and head over."

My father pondered over my reply briefly. "Alright, then. I'll share your contact number with him. By the way, aren't you still starting up your business, Will? It wouldn't be a bad idea to get to know him.

"His name is Gordon Zimmer. You can just address him as Mr. Zimmer."

"Got it!"

Not long after hanging up, Gordon called.
