Chapter 100 Keep Acting Like Fools
At that moment, Wade, Ginny, and Harry chuckled coldly because their impression of Alex became even worse now.
Alex took note of their expressions as he scoffed without them noticing.
On the other hand, Heather frowned out of disappointment.
“Don’t worry. You don’t have to pay a single cent for this reunion party.” Even though Wade was smiling, he felt an overwhelming sense of disgust.
Is this the man Heather fancied back then?
I will show her how useless he is and make her regret marrying a piece of garbage like him!
“Alex, you said you wanted to treat us to this meal, but you probably can’t even afford it. It’s fine. I’ll just foot the bill.” Ginny was afraid that Alex couldn’t afford the meal and spoil Wade’s mood as a result.
“It’s alright! Harry is helping me look for a job, so it’s only natural that I treat you to this meal.” Alex looked as if he was placed in a tough spot.
“Hm? Is Harry helping Alex look for a job? Alex, are you currently unemployed?” Wade laughed.
“Yeah. Mr. Larson, maybe you can help me find a job too!”
“Coincidentally, our department is hiring, but the admissions test is quite difficult, so you might not pass. Oh, but there’s a vacancy as a janitor, and no tests are required for that. If you’re interested, I can help to refer you there.” Wade chuckled.
What he was insinuating was that Alex didn’t have the chops to pass the test to be a civil servant. In fact, he hinted that Alex even needed his help in order to apply for a job as a janitor.
In short, he was patronizing Alex and aggrandizing himself.
When Ginny and Harry heard that, they burst into a peal of sardonic laughter.
On the other hand, Heather sighed because she didn’t have a clue as to what Alex was planning.
“All workers deserve to be respected. Mr. Larson, is the idea of working as a janitor very funny to you?” Alex stared at Wade in amusement.
Wade was stunned as his expression darkened because he never expected to be outwitted by Alex.
As a government official, his reputation would be tarnished forever if their incriminating conversation leaked out.
Harry seemed to realize the severity of the issue too, so he quickly changed the subject. “Alex, you don’t have to pay for this meal today. Come to the Four Seas Corporation the day after tomorrow and I’ll get someone to hire you as a security guard.”
“Alright. Thank you so much, Harry!” Alex chuckled.
“You’re welcome. Let’s dig in!”
With a smile on his face, Harry toasted Wade instead of Alex.
“Mr. Larson, a toast for your success!”
Wade then raised his glass as well. “Likewise.”
After the toast, they were engaged in banter while Alex and Heather were completely ignored.
Even Ginny only toasted Wade too, leaving Alex and Heather unattended.
Heather felt somewhat embarrassed and uncomfortable at their behavior.
They are so rude!
She had originally wanted to catch up with Wade, but he didn’t seem interested in talking to her.
Heather sat there feeling awkward because Ginny and the rest didn’t include her in their conversation. On the other hand, Alex wasn’t affected at all as he enjoyed his meal along with his son.
Heather shook her head in disappointment when she saw how Alex ate so voraciously.
“You still haven’t applied for the membership here, right?” Wade asked Ginny.
“Yeah. A deposit of half a million is required for that, and it’s no small amount.”
Only members of Happy Living were allowed to reserve rooms, so a lot of customers applied for the membership despite the hefty price.
“I know the manager here, Louis. I can send him a message and ask him to reduce the amount of deposit you need to fork out.”
“Alright! Thank you in advance.”
Ginny’s eyes sparkled in excitement. She didn’t frequent this place, but Harry was an executive in the Four Seas Corporation and she was applying for a position there as well, so she needed a place to entertain her customers. That was why it was necessary for her to apply for a membership at Happy Living.
If we had the membership cards today, we wouldn’t have invited Wade for dinner at the booth outside.
It’s definitely more appropriate to invite someone to a private room than a booth outside.
