Victor and Elena’s jaws immediately dropped to the floor. They blinked their eyes in disbelief at what they were seeing.
This was Elena’s first time at SweetSky, but not Victor’s. He had been there many times, but never once had he seen a homeless person enter. Let alone homeless people, even middle-class individuals wouldn’t dare to step inside. They would go broke after dining there.
So, what kind of madness had they just witnessed? He and Elena were still stuck outside, so how could homeless people be allowed in?
Victor's chest rose and fell like it was going to explode. He shouted in the guard's face, “Why did you let them in? Are you an idiot or what?!”
“What's going on, Mr. Victor?” A forty-year-old woman in neat clothes reprimanded, behind her the guard followed.
Victor beamed with a smile. Hearing the restaurant manager acknowledge him and call his name, he clearly felt that he was not just any ordinary guest. The guards should know that!
“Mrs. Sisca, thank you for coming so quickly. If not, I might have had to deal with this guard myself. Look, he let those homeless people in and allowed them to dirty SweetSky. If anyone else sees this, it will certainly damage the restaurant's reputation.”
“But don't worry. As a special customer, I’ll keep quiet. I won’t tell my colleagues or friends in high society. This embarrassing incident will remain a secret,” Victor explained at length, puffing out his chest, thinking he was worthy of being called the hero who saved the restaurant.
“Are you done talking?” Mrs. Sisca asked with a sarcastic smile.
Victor wasn’t sure he had heard correctly. “Pardon me?”
“If you’re done, please leave this restaurant. Our guests have arrived,” Mrs. Sisca said, pointing toward the group inside that made Victor and Elena feel disgusted. “We’re very busy and don’t have time for debates. Other guests will be arriving soon as well.”
Elena laughed, thinking that Mrs. Sisca was joking. She extended her hand for a handshake. “Nice to meet you, I’m Elena Moore, Victor Exton’s fiancée. We just got engaged earlier today, and now we’re here for a romantic dinner.”
Mrs. Sisca merely glanced at Elena’s hand without any intention of shaking it. “Wow, congratulations. But I’m afraid, as the guard already explained, SweetSky has been booked. This event was arranged on short notice, but we announced it on our website and sent email notifications. It’s not that we’re being rude, but we don’t want to offend our VVIP customers. So, please, celebrate your engagement elsewhere.”
Victor’s eyes widened. His forehead was sweating as he asked, “VVIP customers? Who do you mean?”
Victor grew anxious because he hadn’t heard anything about any high-profile individuals who had booked the entire SweetSky. He didn’t know whether this event was closed off or if he had been excluded from such important information.
Just as the manager was about to answer Victor’s question, a familiar voice greeted, “Good evening, Mrs. Sisca.”
They turned in unison. Upon seeing the person who greeted them, Victor and Elena stared in shock. Elena quickly shouted, “Jack?! What are you doing here? Oh my God, don’t tell me you’ve been stalking me!”
“Do you know Mr. Jack?”
Victor interjected, “Mrs. Sisca, please don’t call him ‘Mr.’ That’s so inappropriate. Just so you know, this guy was a gardener at my fiancée’s house. He was just fired because he became obsessed with Elena and often did crazy things.”
“Excuse me?” Mrs. Sisca frowned in confusion.
Seeing the annoyed look on Mrs. Sisca's face, Jack interjected, “I came to have dinner here. And you guys, why are you here? Do you want to have dinner too? Why don't you come straight in, but stand in front of the door?” Jack looked sharply at Victor and Elena. However, there was still a smile on his lips.
Clearly, this was out of the scenario!
Jack spoke in a slight whisper, “I tell you, despite their good looks, their lives are miserable, their hearts poorer than poor itself.”
Mrs. Sisca stifled her laughter, while Victor and Elena, who had also heard her, turned red in the face like boiled crabs.
“Insolent! Poor fools! Loser!” Victor cursed, but then he smiled mockingly, “Oh, I see, apparently this is a charity event. No wonder you dared to come here. All you have in your head is free food. You wish you could eat delicious food without paying. What a beggar!”
Elena said, “Really Jack, as your ex-wife, I'm starting to worry. You became unemployed because my fiancé fired you. Then, you got evicted and became homeless. And now, you're here as a beggar! Jack, what kind of setback did you go through that you have to beg for food?!”
Fed up with Victor and Elena's ramblings, Mrs. Sisca silently signaled the two guards to drag them away from SweetSky.
“Mrs. Sisca, you can't do this to me. You'll regret it!” Victor shouted as the guards pulled his hands away.
Similarly, Elena screeched, “Let go! Let go of my hand, you lowly errand boys, you don't deserve to touch me!”
The two guards ignored them. They dragged Victor and Elena to the parking lot and only released their grip there.
Elena was annoyed with her messy appearance. She shook off the traces of the guards' hands, making a disgusted gesture as if she had been hit by a chicken shit.
“You will pay for this. You don't know I'm well-connected, well-acquainted with the elite. Look, overnight I'll disgust them with SweetSky. They won't want to step on the floor those bums once walked on!” Victor was furious.
But the guards took it in stride. In fact, one of them threatened, “Please spread this disgrace to all your colleagues. We will gladly help by uploading the CCTV footage of the expulsion of the two intruders on the SweetSky website.”
“You guys...” Victor's voice trailed off. He stared resentfully at the two departing guards, then muttered, “How dare they threaten me.”
Victor smiled wryly as the threat really made him uneasy. Being kicked out of the restaurant was humiliating enough, let alone being labeled as an intruder. Definitely, he had no choice but to keep quiet, swallowing all the bitter treatment from SweetSky's side.
However, despite all the humiliation, there was one thing that bothered Victor.
Who exactly was the VVIP member? He could even turn SweetSky into a feeding ground for the homeless.
Victor's eyeballs rounded as he realized something. “Wait, since when does SweetSky have a VVIP category?”

Chapter 62
In the front yard, Jack and Emma continued their conversation while Grandma took an afternoon nap. They talked about the unexpected things that had happened since that morning.“I hope you’ll feel comfortable working at your new place,” Jack said, gazing deeply at Emma. In his heart, he was determined to make that hope come true.Emma smiled. “I’m optimistic everything will get better. Working at Redwave Group is the dream of so many people.”“That’s good.”“Do you know why I feel so confident?”“Tell me.”“Because of you. I don’t know why, but ever since I met you, I’ve felt much more… safe.”Jack chuckled softly. “Alright then, I guess I’m a security guard now.”Emma shook her head. “Not like that. You know, maybe you don’t realize it, but you always help me out of trouble.”“Oh, so now I’m a locksmith.”“Jack, you keep joking.”“Well… it seems I have talent as a comedian.”They laughed together. Slowly, the atmosphere grew quiet as their laughter faded.“I’m sorry for rudely turnin
Chapter 61
Emma excitedly shared the good news with her grandmother. She beamed as she showed off the paper bag she had received from Redwave Group.Jack watched Emma’s radiant face as she took the contents out of the bag.“Grandma, it still feels too hard to believe. I—I’ve never experienced an interview this easy and fast before. I was accepted right away! And look, they even gave me these clothes.”“Redwave Group is a giant corporation, after all. Before going to the interview, I searched for a lot of information about their recruitment process online.”“From the reviews and comments I read, ninety-five percent of people said how incredibly difficult it is to pass the employee selection at Redwave Group. Many of them had to try several times before getting in. And quite a few failed repeatedly and eventually looked for work elsewhere.”“Oh my God, this is amazing. Look! These uniforms are so nice and high-quality. I feel like jumping up and down because I’m so happy!” Emma exclaimed as she he
Chapter 60
Emma’s jaw dropped before a wide smile spread across her face. She clapped her hands and even hopped in place, like a child who had just been allowed to play in the rain.It might sound improper, but she was genuinely happy to see Jack acting a little… 'evil'.“No! I won’t do it!” Elena shouted fiercely. She stood up on her own, ignoring Victor’s outstretched hand that was about to help her.“It’s fine,” Jack said indifferently. He took Emma’s hand. “Let’s go home. Grandma is already waiting for us.”“But—”Emma felt a bit disappointed that Jack didn’t force Victor and Elena to comply with his condition. Not because she wanted them to clean her shoes, but because she wanted to show the two of them that Jack now had 'authority' that they couldn’t act however they pleased anymore.“Our business here is done. Let’s just leave,” Jack said with a smile.Emma couldn’t refuse him. She nodded weakly and replied in a low, unenthusiastic voice, “Alright.”To be honest, the situation put Victor
Chapter 59
Jack didn’t stop Emma when she took the initiative to turn off his phone. He simply smiled as he listened to her ranting about Victor and Elena.Emma’s grumbling finally came to a halt when she received a message from the Head of HR, instructing her to pick up her uniform at the reception desk. Although she felt puzzled, remembering that earlier the receptionists had been wearing different outfits, Emma still invited Jack to head to the main lobby with her.When they arrived in front of one of the reception desks, Emma turned her head as a receptionist from another counter called out to her.“Miss Wexler!”The woman waved with a smile, carrying a floral-patterned paper bag.Emma smiled and tugged on Jack’s hand before approaching her.“Is that my uniform?”“Yes! This is all yours.”The senior receptionist glanced briefly at Jack before giving a small nod.Emma turned to Jack, then accepted the paper bag with a radiant smile.Just as she was in such a cheerful mood, Emma was shocked by
Chapter 58
“Madam, I can’t do that,” Victor refused immediately.Elena followed at once. “Me neither. T-that doesn’t make any sense.”To both of them, kneeling before Jack was the lowest form of humiliation. In their eyes, Jack was nothing more than someone beneath them, someone not even worthy of sitting on equal ground with them. So why should they lower themselves before a man whose status was far below theirs?But Daisy didn’t bother arguing. She said firmly, “That’s up to you. What you need to understand is that this is not an offer, it’s an order. And you already know the consequences of defying the Director.”Victor and Elena swallowed hard.Daisy stood up.“You have fifteen minutes. Make sure you don’t waste them.”“Madam, wait… Madam…” Victor called out after Daisy as she left the room. But she didn’t respond at all.Victor slumped back into his seat in frustration. Mr. Philanthropy had truly cornered him.“Victor, what are we supposed to do? I don’t want to apologize, let alone kneel
Chapter 57
Victor and Elena grew even more tense. Especially after seeing the cold expression on Daisy’s face once she ended the call with Mr. Philanthropy. They had no idea what kind of fate awaited them next. Their heads hung low; neither of them dared to lift their gaze.Daisy clenched her fists.“Just a moment ago, you were even threatening me. So tell me, what’s weighing so heavily on your heads now that you don’t even dare to look at me?”Still keeping his head lowered, Victor said, “I am truly sorry, Madam. Y-you may ask me to do anything, as long as I’m still allowed to come here again in the future to submit another proposal.”“I refuse,” Daisy replied coldly.If it weren’t for Jack’s instructions, she would have slapped and thrown them out long ago. But she knew very well, what Jack wanted would strike them far harder. Not physically… but mentally.“But you’re lucky,” Daisy said after sitting down across from Victor and Elena.Both of them instinctively lifted their heads, staring at D
