Chapter 98
Ethan's words made everyone's jaws drop.
They all stared at him, their eyes wide like saucers.
"Did he just say someone is coming to fix this mess?"
One of them whispered to another other, his voice full of shock, he couldn't believe what he just heard.
The other too was also in shock, but at the same time angry seeing Ethan trying to raise his shoulder instead of him going down on his knees and apologizing.
"Who could Ethan possibly know that could solve such a big problem he just got himself into?"
He said as both of them gaze at each other, and none would come up with an answer as they looked at Ethan like he had two heads.
Some of them even started to giggle, thinking he was just trying to act strong, soon he will break down, when reality hit him like a brick.
"Ethan is just a poor kid in university, everyone knows him" the other said, shaking their heads and rolling their eyes.
"He doesn't know anyone important. Who does he think he is to challenge Damian to all people, he must be thinking this is some kind of joke?"
At that moment Some of them couldn't hold back their laughter anymore. They pointed at Ethan, holding their bellies as they laughed so hard they started to shed tears.
Knowing Damien has gotten the bastards where he wanted him, they couldn't wait to see the outcome of everything.
Mike and the other staff members looked really worried, Mike was still angry knowing Damian tricked him into picking their restaurant not knowing he had planned to make Ethan suffer.
Without wasting any more time They went up to Ethan, their faces all scrunched up with concern.
"Ethan, please,"
They begged, their hands clasped together.
"Stop making things worse. Just say sorry to Damian so we can all go home and forget this ever happened."
One of the coaches who came to fill in the spot for coach Johnson said.
Mike at that moment bit his lip as he gazed at Damien. He couldn't believe he would be the one saying this, but he had no other choice.
with a low and disappointing voice he said.
"Please Ethan, I know you have every right to be mad at me, I understand and I'm sorry, I didn't know this was his plan, and I made you work right through it, please I'm sorry and I know it's so selfish of me to say this."
he bit his lip even more and his jaw tightened.
"Please you need to apologize to Damian so he can let you leave, that is what he wants, and I'm begging you just do, nobody here would listen to the truth, remember where you're coming from, nobody is going to defend you."
"We... we changed our prices recently"
he mumbled, looking down at his shoes.
But before he could say anything else, another person burst into the room. It was a government official, and with the look on his face one could tell he was damn angry.
"I heard this restaurant was treating customers badly,"
the official said, his voice booming like thunder.
"Ethan reported it to me, and I'm here to get to the bottom of it."
immediately Everyone's mouths fell open. They couldn't believe it. How did Ethan know people so important?
The chief waiter started to shake like a leaf.
He wanted to say something, but no words would come out.
The manager told the official everything that happened, his face getting redder and redder as he talked.
The official nodded, his face as serious as a judge.
"It's clear what happened here,"
he said, his voice firm.
"The bad player will be punished for trying to trick a customer to pay more than what was ordered."
without wasting any more time the chief waiter fell to his knees, his hands clasped together like he was praying.
"Please."
he begged, tears started streaming down his face.
"Let's talk about this. It's all a big misunderstanding and I'm ready to explain!"
However before anyone could say anything a man dressed in a black suit walked in, his shoes clicking on the floor.
He had a briefcase in his hand and a very serious look on his face.
"I'm Ethan's lawyer,"
The man said, his voice as smooth as silk.
"And I'm here to sue this restaurant for trying to defraud my client."
