Chapter 162
The front desk lady kept begging even as the director's order hung in the air like a final judgment.She was crying openly now, her composure completely shattered, her words breaking apart under the weight of panic and humiliation. Any trace of the smug confidence she had carried earlier was gone. The woman who had looked Ethan up and down with contempt, who had dismissed him, mocked him, and painted him as a fraud in front of everyone, had now collapsed into sheer desperation."Please, sir... please... I'm sorry," she kept saying through tears. "I made a mistake. Please don't do this to me. I'm begging you. Please. I need this job. Please, sir, please."But no one was moved by it.The director's face remained cold, and the two security guards he had brought with him did not hesitate. They had been given a direct order, and unlike the earlier pair who had rushed to conclusions without thinking, these men now moved with efficient, unquestioning obedience.One of them stepped behind her

The front desk lady stood frozen for one long, dreadful second after the director gave the order.It was as if her mind had stopped working.As if the words had reached her ears, but her brain refused to accept them.A few moments earlier, she had been standing there with all the confidence in the world, laughing at Ethan, mocking him, speaking as though she owned the entire building and could decide by herself who had value and who did not. She had been so certain—so painfully certain—that Ethan was bluffing, that he was one more ordinary man trying to force his way into a world he could not afford. She had looked down on him. She had insulted him. She had called him a con artist in front of security and spoken with the arrogance of a person who believed there would never be consequences for her behavior.But now the ground had vanished from beneath her feet.The director's words hit her like a physical blow.You see her, I want her kicked out of this place immediately.Her lips part

The atmosphere at the front of JSK Automobile had already turned tense, but it became even harsher the moment one of the security guards sneered and said, with full confidence, "We don't believe a single word coming from this man. He's just blabbing. That's all he's doing. Just blabbing. And we are going to expose him right now for exactly who he is."The other guard beside him gave a short nod, as though that judgment had already been reached and signed off on without the need for any proper questioning, any proper investigation, or even the smallest attempt at fairness. In their minds, Ethan had already been labeled. He had already been sized up, already condemned, already placed into that category of people they considered nuisances—men who wandered into luxury places they thought they would never actually be able to afford, men who they believed survived on audacity, bluff, and noise.The receptionist, standing with her arms folded tightly across her chest, looked especially pleas

Rather than continue arguing with someone clearly determined to remain willfully blind to reason, Ethan pulled out his phone and dialed Megan's number instead, deciding that the fastest way to resolve this absurd standoff was to bring in someone whose word actually carried weight in a place like this.Megan answered after only a couple of rings, her voice warm and slightly distracted, clearly in the middle of preparing for her day, likely already thinking ahead to her visit to the restaurant site later that morning."Hey," she said. "I was just about to head out. Is everything okay?"They exchanged a brief greeting, the familiar warmth between them settling into the conversation naturally despite the tension still coursing through Ethan from his encounter with the receptionist, and then he got straight to the point, not wanting to waste time dancing around the issue."I need your help with something," he said. "I'm at JSK Automobile right now, looking to buy a car, and I don't know if

He paused, listening briefly to whatever response came from the other end, before continuing with more specific instructions."Tell her to call him," he said. "Tell her to call that fool immediately once you have her secured, the one who's currently sitting comfortably, eating as though he has nothing to worry about. Make sure she contacts him right away when you've taken her."He glanced briefly toward Kai, who watched the exchange with quiet, calculating interest, before returning his attention fully to the call."I'm sure this is going to work perfectly today," he continued. "I'll provide you with her routine, her movements, everything you need to know about when she leaves the house and where she typically goes afterward. I'll send you that information shortly, and you can take it from there."The person on the other end of the line responded without hesitation, his tone flat and businesslike, the voice of someone who understood exactly how much leverage he held in a conversation
