Chapter 91
Victoria and Elvis looked at each other.The silence stretched between them, heavy and loaded with the kind of disbelief that comes when reality refuses to align itself with expectation. This was not how it was supposed to go. This was not how any of it was supposed to unfold. That good-for-nothing bastard, that nobody who had been holding up the line and refusing to back down, was the one commanding military escorts and ninety-degree bows from the director of EJSK Luxury. What the hell was happening?Neither of them could find words for it.Victoria broke the silence first."We need to find out more about this guy," she said, and her voice had regained some of its edge, the uncertainty hardening back into purpose. "We really need to dig into who he is, because this does not make sense. There is something going on here that we are missing. Something big." She looked at Elvis. "We need to know everything."Elvis nodded slowly."Agreed," he said. "I will make calls. Get the footage. St
Chapter 90
Elvis nodded slowly, his eyes still fixed on the stream of bags moving from the entrance to the waiting vehicles."Yes," he said quietly. "Exactly. This person is not a pushover. This person is not a novice. This person is a serious big shot."Victoria exhaled through her nose, something complicated moving across her face."If this had been the person they were standing up for," she said, and her voice had lost its sharp edges, replaced by something more measured and reluctant, "I would not even be that angry. I would still be upset, yes. But I would understand it. Because a person like this?" She gestured toward the cars, the bags, the sheer volume of it all. "A person like this deserves to shop in the same space as me. I would accept that." Her expression darkened again. "But that good-for-nothing bastard inside, that nobody who decided to make a mess of me in front of everyone and got the director to go along with it?" Her jaw tightened. "That is a completely different matter."And

Elvis nodded immediately."Yes," he said. "I recognized his face. You have absolutely nothing to worry about." He pulled out his phone and turned it over in his hand, the gesture deliberate and full of intent. "I have someone who works in the security department of this establishment. Getting the CCTV footage of what just happened will take one phone call. Maybe two." He looked back toward the entrance. "And then we track him. I will track him personally. I will get to the root of who he is, where he came from, what he thinks he is doing. That bastard cannot do this and expect to walk away scot-free. It is not going to happen. I will crush him. Crush him so badly he will wish he had kept his mouth shut."Victoria was staring at the entrance.Her jaw was tight. Her arms were folded across her chest. The fury radiating off her was visible, almost tangible, the kind of anger that sits just beneath the surface waiting for a direction to move in."That face looks familiar," she said quietl
Chapter 88
Hector looked at Elvis for a moment, and then he cleared his throat."Are you threatening me?" he asked.The question was calm. Almost academic. The tone of someone asking for clarification on a minor point.Elvis let out a short, humorless sound that was not quite a laugh."Threatening you?" he said. "Who are you that I would waste a threat on? You are too small for threats. What I just said to you is simply the truth. A statement of fact. Watch your back, because I am coming. I will find you. Keep that somewhere you can access it easily."The director stood very still, watching Elvis with an expression that had moved past anger into something closer to genuine disbelief. That Elvis, standing in this lobby, in this situation, with security guards three feet away and the full weight of what had just happened still settling around him, would look at Otto and say those words. Would actually say those words.Hector nodded slowly."Alright," he said. "I will be expecting you then. And if
Chapter 87
Victoria drew herself up to her full height, and when she spoke again her voice had found a second wind, fueled by something that had moved past ordinary anger into the colder, more deliberate territory of someone making promises they fully intend to keep."You must be terribly sick," she said, and she looked at the director the way people look at things they have already decided to discard. "Let me say it again so you understand me clearly. You want me. Victoria. Of the K9 family. To stand in a queue because of him?" She let the word hang in the air like something soiled. "Never. That will never happen. Not today, not in this lifetime."She straightened the strap of her bag with a sharp, precise motion."And as for this disrespect you have just shown me, this utterly shameless disrespect, let me make you a promise right now. This establishment is at risk. You are at risk. Your position, your title, everything you have built in this place." Her eyes were steady and cold. "My grandfath
Chapter 86
Hearing what Hector had just said, Victoria and Elvis felt their jaws tighten involuntarily. The sheer audacity of it. This good-for-nothing fool, this low-life nobody standing in a luxury establishment telling them, the young mistress of the K9 family and the young master of the Bushman family, to go and stand in a queue like ordinary people.Victoria's composure cracked first."Who do you think you are?" she shouted, her voice carrying across the lobby with the sharp, practiced authority of someone used to being obeyed. "To command us? Are you insane? Is there something wrong with your head? You want me—little me, the young mistress of the K9 family—to go and wait in a line like some common customer? Do you honestly think that because of this little scene and whatever nonsense you've concocted, you are actually going to win this?"Elvis placed a hand on her arm, though his own face was taut with fury."Victoria, calm down," he said, trying to regain some composure. "Can't you see? T
