"William, stop right there!" Ryan yelled from behind me.
My temper flared. "Are you done? Do you think you're worthy of calling my name?"
I was prepared to slap that idiot if he called my name again.
However, Ryan suddenly picked up a paper napkin in an exaggerated manner and tossed it away. I watched the paper napkin drift to the ground, when he suddenly looked at me in a challenging, disdainful manner. "Pick it up and wipe my leather shoes clean."
Lina snorted with laughter. "You're so mean, Ryan."
Ryan looked exceptionally gleeful. "Ha, isn't he a waiter here? I've got to make as much use of him as I can! You'd better move quickly. If you make me unhappy and I complain about you, you might not even have the money to get a cab back to school!"
Lina said, "Ryan, you're so dumb! He's so poor! How can he afford to get a cab? He's definitely going to take the bus."
"Oh, you're right! I'm so sorry, I've just never taken the bus or anything like that in my life. I know nothing about it at all!"
I looked at the two of them and took a deep breath. "If you really have nothing to do, you can go in and eat shit. Don't talk crap around me."
"What did you say?" Ryan did not seem to have expected me to talk back. He looked furious.
"How dare you insult me? Are you tired of living? Where's the manager? I want the manager! Call him out at once! I'm going to make a complaint about you! I'm also going to complain about your manager so that it'll be impossible for you to keep working here!"
"Lina? Ryan?" Felicia walked out at that moment.
Lina was surprised to see her. "What are you doing here? Oh, I know. You're here to work too?"
