When all of these happened the old Uncle standing behind him was more than the word confused too and surprised at how the sweet boy he had taken in some years back had changed so drastically.After receiving the slap for talking rude to the CEO of Ashton Empire there was nothing the manager could do at this point but carry himself out but he had somewhat of a plan because deep down he still didn’t believe the worker whom he had been insulting ad making his life miserable was the one sending him out of the restaurant he worked for the past years so he went in to pack his things but also to call the real owner whom he knew so as to get the story straight.After trying for long and the previous owner was not picking up he took it as an opportunity to attack Ryan once more as he tried but his hands were held and he was pushed back hard to the point where he met with some tables and couldn’t help but stay there for a while and no one rushed to help him up.“You should stop joking about buy

As everything happened Ryan was enjoying what it was that was happening and somehow he let out sinister laughter because well he was happy to see Emilie confused and not knowing what it was she was supposed to have gotten but it had just slipped out of her hands just within the slip of the moment.He loved the look of disappointment on her face and with the way he saw her answering the phone, he knew that she was in big trouble.He remembered how humiliated he had been a few days ago and he felt that he was not going to back down from making her feel bad about this.After she had gone a reasonable distance away from Ashton’s Empire she told the driver to turn the car around so that she could be able to go beg once again.Rushing into the office she was almost causing chaos where she was.“Please Miss, I beg of you don’t just let me go like this, if I leave like this I will lose my job and everything,” she said as she looked deep into Ernestine’s eyes with tears in her eyes but she cou
