The Janitor's Payback

Chapter 6

In the midst of an important meeting, Coleman donned in a suit, nervously hosted a crucial meeting in the conference room. However, his expression transformed with excitement upon receiving a call from Sharon, prompting him to instruct,"Arrange the highest level of reception for our guest; I will be down shortly to welcome him personally."

After hanging up, an electrified Coleman addressed the conference room," This meeting will be postponed till further notice, as there is something urgent I must attend to immediately."

Leaving behind this statement, Mr Coleman, disregarding the astonished expressions around him, rose from his chair and promptly exited the conference room. Coleman hastened along, briskly walking while ensuring his attire was impeccable as if preparing to meet an eminent guest.

His subordinates were left dumbfounded by the display,as Coleman, typically stoic, had never before been witnessed in such an animated state. Their curiosity piqued about the individual Coleman was so eager to meet.

At the entrance of the Skyview tower, Sharon closed her phone with a bemused look. Being tasked by Mr Coleman to arrange a lavish banquet to host Leo was wholly unexpected.

The young security guard, presuming Leo's identity was disclosed,pointed triumphantly, asserting," Your true colors are gradually showing, aren't they? I told you a loser like you couldn't possibly be Mr Coleman's esteemed guest,go back to cleaning floors!"

" You're fired!" Sharon's temper suddenly flared , berating the foolish guard for not only his lack of self awareness but for rubbing salt into the wound; firing him was the logical step.

" I'm fired,why?" The stupefied young guard couldn't comprehend the turn of events. Wasn't the loser supposed to be the one being dismissed? Could it be that Leo was truly Mr Coleman's honored guest?

This realisation struck the guard as he looked at Leo again, his gaze filled with such astonishment he was rendered speechless, while the older security officer silently sighed in relief, grateful for not interfering,lest he be dismissed as well. Leo , indifferent, paid no mind to the young guard's predicament.

" Mr. Leo, please come in. Mr Coleman will arrive shortly to greet you in person," Alice said, lowering her stance, because anyone who could elicit such a personal and opulent welcome from Mr. Coleman was no ordinary person. Having worked with Coleman for many years, she knew that less than ten individuals were accorded with such treatment

These select ten held high statuses and position, individuals she dared not offend — a clear indication that Leo was of similar importance.

The two security guards were shocked anew upon witnessing director Sharon's deferential treatment of Leo, especially upon learning that Mr Coleman was personally coming to greet him. In their three to five years of service, the occurrences of Mr Coleman directly welcoming anyone were exceedingly rare, indicative of Leo's significant stature.

For the young guard,all hope for his job was lost. Leaving him to the consequences of his actions.

Leo too apathetic to engage with their drama, followed Sharon into the building. She directed him to the first floor vip room, a space reserved for the most consequential guests embraced with opulent decor. Only individuals of high status were admitted here.

Upon entry, a receptionist clad in a chic black skirt and office shirt came forward to assist but was stopped by Sharon's hand. " Continue your duties, let me take care of it."

The young receptionist was perplexed, wondering what could possibly be the identity of this man to warrant personal service from the company director.

Before she could grasp the situation, the general manager Mr Coleman himself arrived breathlessly, showcasing his fear of the vip waiting anxiously, an unprecedented sight for the receptionist who had never before seen her general manager personally welcome anyone since starting her job.

"What kind of person has arrived today that even Mr Coleman would personally welcome him?"

Leo was indifferent to these details, leisurely sipping the drink that Sharon had specifically prepared for him. At that moment, Mr Coleman knocked and entered.

Upon sighting Leo, Mr Coleman approached with enthusiasm, eagerly extending a handshake to Leo. " Young Master, your arrival has been eagerly anticipated."

Witnessing the usually stoic general manager Coleman act subservient before Leo left Sharon astounded by the drastic change.

Realizing his demeanor, Mr Coleman straightened up and coldly commanders Sharon in his habitual manner, " I'll take it from here, go to my office and bring the wine that I've been saving for years."

" Of course!" Sharon was stumped once more — wasn't that his precious wine Mr Coleman had treasured for years,too precious for him to consume himself? Even the previous visit from the secretary general of the city did not merit it's serving, further solidifying Leo's eminent status.

Sharon exhaled in relief, thankful she had not spoken rudely to Leo,or she might have been the unfortunate one today.
