ALPHA'S ENDLESS REGRET: After The Barren Luna's Leave novel Chapter 102

"We were not mean to you." Lillian stepped forward, her face still contorted in anger. "If anything, you were the one who was just rude to us for no reason at all. We did nothing to deserve such treatment from you."

Lillian looked like she was fuming and I didn’t need her getting so worked up over some stupid man whose job was probably the only lifeline he had.

I put a hand on her shoulder to calm her down before turning to Tom. "There must be some other problem, no?"

Tom cocked his head, his eyes glinting with curiosity. I didn’t know how he’d take what happened but I knew I had to at least let him know what was really happening.

"We came here with the intention of seeing the place as my client wants to purchase an apartment. He was so rude to us and insulted my character repeatedly despite my attempts at letting him know we just wanted to take a look at the place." I explained.

Through all this, Tom had been listening carefully. When I finished, he turned to look at the security guard who was shaking his head in denial.

"That’s not true. I swear she’s trying to lie against me." The security guard insisted.

Tom looked around for a bit. One of the men standing behind him leaned closer and whispered something in his ears.

Tom turned back to us again, and he looked pissed.

"I got a report from some others that have come here," he started, "So you’ve been rude to all the users of the apartment building."

"N—no sir," he stuttered. "I—"

Tom cut him off and continued to speak. "Even the guests who come to see the house. You’ve been rude to them under the banner of the company."

The man looked like a deer caught in headlights. He bowed his head and began to stutter out a string of apologizes.

"I should have all of you fired." Tom glowered at him.

"Please sir. Have mercy." The man continued to beg, snot running down his nose as he cried.

I went up to Tom immediately. As satisfying as it would be, I didn’t think firing him now would be the best.

"It’s okay, Tom. Just leave them." I said to him.

He didn’t look quite satisfied with that but luckily he didn’t look so insistent on pursuing it anymore.

I stepped closer to him, a small smile fighting its way to my face. "What’s your name?"

"Bernard," The man answered confidently, "But everyone here calls me Big Ben."

True to his name, he was a chubby looking man. He was looking down on me with a smirk on his lips. I wanted nothing more than to teach him a lesson.

"So what’s got your murmuring, Big Ben?" I asked, sizing him up.

"The fact that you think you can just fire us." He scoffed.

"Yeah," Another one piped in. "Who the fuck do you think you are to fire us, huh? You know how long we’ve been working here for?"

"You can’t just fire us as you please." Another one scoffed.

It was hard fighting back the smile that came to my lips but I knew I had to keep my control. These men didn’t know what I had in store for them.
