Riches in Disguise novel Chapter 30

The woman's face fell the moment she heard my response.

She took two steps forward and got right before me. Then, she raised her hand and slapped me on the face.

"Has your mother never taught you not to say such indecent things to women?"

I was stunned by her slap, and a ball of fury rose within me.

"You were the one who first made fun of me—"

Before I could finish my sentence, the elevator bell dinged and its doors opened.

She gave me a fierce glare. "You little bastard, you'd better not be part-timing here. Otherwise, I will teach you a lesson every time I see you."

After saying that, she strutted out of the elevator in her heels.

I ran after her immediately and shouted from behind her, "You'd better not be working here either. Otherwise, I will appoint you every time I see you!"

Soon enough, she walked around a corner and disappeared.

I took my phone out and checked my face with its front camera. Fortunately, she didn't leave a mark on my face.

If she did, I wouldn't know how to explain myself to Gordon when I met him later.

After circling the place twice, I finally managed to find the private room. Seeing as the door was open, I walked right in.

"Welcome, Mr. William!"

The moment I stepped in, more than ten people bowed and greeted me as if they were shouting a slogan. I was staggered.

"Please, you don't have to call me Mr. William. Just call me William."

At the door, a potbellied, middle-aged man shook my hand firmly. "Mr. William, welcome to Welsington City. I am Welsington Business Association's president.

"On behalf of everyone in the Business Association and all the businessmen in Welsington City, I would like to extend our warmest welcome!"

He clapped. Everyone applauded enthusiastically too.

I felt really out of place. I thought I was just coming over for a simple meal. I didn't expect there to be such a spectacle.

Even though I would have to face such situations in the future, at the very least, circumstances like this still made me feel a little uncomfortable at the moment.
