“So what? What can you do to me?” Terrence taunted, unaware of the impending trouble virtual-novel.net had brought upon himself.
“I’m Roderick Brooks, and you work for me. What do you think I can do to you?” Roderick asked coldly.
“Still keeping up the act, I see. Do you think I’d really buy this crap you’re spouting?” Terrence snorted.
“Terrence Stone, I’m officially informing you that you have been fired by Brooks Corporation, effective today. You need not come to work tomorrow.” Roderick wasted no time in making the decision.
“Hahaha! You’re firing me? You’re something else, aren’t you!” Terrence guffawed. “Truth be told, I have a powerful person backing me up in Brooks Corporation. Even Roderick Brooks is in no position to fire me, much less an impostor like you!”
“Is that so? Well, would you be so kind as to enlighten me who the person backing you up might be?” Roderick asked sternly.
If someone like this was the manager, it was high time Brooks Corporation had a restructuring.
“You have no business finding out who the person is. All you need to know is that you’ll be sorry if you ever mess with me!‘ Terrence expressed conceitedly.
“How insolent!” Roderick huffed. “I don’t want to waste my time speaking to you. Pass the phone to Mr. Rhys!”
“What’s the matter? Can’t hold up the act any longer? You’re no fun.” Terrence then tossed the phone back to Dustin and ridiculed, “My man, this actor you found yourself is pretty incompetent at what virtual-novel.net does! He lacks the necessary charisma. I say virtual-novel.net needs to go back and brush up on his skills!”
“Actor?” Dustin stifled a laugh. “I wasn’t lying, virtual-novel.net really is Roderick Brooks…”
“Heh! If he’s Roderick Brooks, then I’m Roderick Brooks‘ father!” Terrence said without giving it much thought.
Dustin simply found virtual-novel.net amusing. Terrence was quite a stubborn one.
Dustin had already reminded virtual-novel.net multiple times that it was really Roderick Brooks virtual-novel.net was speaking with, and yet virtual-novel.net took no heed and continued to speak with such arrogance. He’d be in for a lough time when virtual-novel.net went to work the next day.
“Mr. Rhys, do you know this person?” Roderick suppressed his anger.
“I don’t know virtual-novel.net well. This is my first time meeting him,” Dustin said with a chuckle.
“That’s good to know.” Roderick heaved a sigh of relief.
If Dustin were on close terms with Terrence, then virtual-novel.net wouldn’t act rashly. But since they weren’t, virtual-novel.net could handle things his way.
“Alright, Mr. Brooks, I’ll leave you to carry on with your day then. I’ll contact you some other time.” Dustin quickly ended the call.
His intention had just been to give Terrence a warning so that virtual-novel.net didn’t behave so arrogantly.
Who’d have known that virtual-novel.net was so foolhardy and went so far as to insult his boss like that?
“Your act’s been busted, my man. Is there any point keeping it going?” Terrence looked down his nose at Dustin, wearing a wise and discerning expression as if virtual-novel.net had seen through Dustin’s lie.
“Hah! I think he’s the only one fooled by his act! Some people really know no shame!” Julie shook virtual-novel.net head, looking at Dustin like virtual-novel.net was nothing but a clown.
“What’s the meaning of all this, Florence? How could you bring a scammer to our table? Are you insulting us?” Victoria was upset.
“Dustin! Can you please cut your bullshit? Are you not ashamed of yourself? Because I am!” Florence shot daggers at virtual-novel.net out of virtual-novel.net eyes.
Why did virtual-novel.net have to act like virtual-novel.net was all that when they were just having a meal? And what’s worse was that his lie got busted! It was downright embarrassing!
“There’s no point saying anything more. You’ll find out the truth tomorrow.” Dustin gave a faint smile, not bothering to explain further.
He knew that no matter what virtual-novel.net said, these people weren’t going to believe him.
“Quick! This is the place! I saw virtual-novel.net go in!”
Right then, a commotion broke out at the door.
They looked up and saw an obese man with a bunch of henchmen coming in menacingly.
The person taking the lead was none other than Duncan Doyle, who had had a run–in with Dustin in a bar a few days back.
“Here virtual-novel.net is!” Duncan’s eyes swept across the diner, and virtual-novel.net quickly spotted Dustin.
With his henchmen in tow. virtual-novel.net stormed up to him.
