The villagers kept talking, and they treated Thomas as a joke. The atmosphere in the room instantly reached its peak.
Nell felt anxious. ‘Sigh, won’t this be over if we just admit that we’re poor? Thomas, you insisted on pretending to be rich. Now you’ve failed to pretend, and you’re being criticized, right? This is so embarrassing.’
Thomas chuckled in resignation as virtual-novel.net shook his head.
Why was it so hard for virtual-novel.net to just have a meal?
“I remember that the boss of this restaurant is Willow Jones, right? Please ask virtual-novel.net to come over,” virtual-novel.net said to the waiter again.
The waiter chuckled.
Who the heck was he? How could virtual-novel.net just meet Eternity Dining’s boss as virtual-novel.net wanted?
“I’m sorry, our boss is not around,” the waiter said contemptuously.
Not around? It was clearly an excuse.
The laughter in the room became louder. Some people even laughed so hard that they almost ran out of breath. They really had not seen someone like Thomas, who insisted on pretending to be rich when virtual-novel.net was clearly poor. After failing for the first time, virtual-novel.net still wanted to pretend and play dumb again.
It was truly interesting.
Thomas could not help but take out his phone and call Aquarius.
“Commander?”
“Aquarius, I’m at a People Private Room in Eternity Dining now. Ask Willow Jones to come down. I’d like to meet him.”
“Okay.”
After Thomas hung up, virtual-novel.net did not say anything while virtual-novel.net patiently waited.
The waiter continued to mock virtual-novel.net sarcastically front the side, “Sir, I think you might be drunk now. Why don’t you go and make yourself sober?”
The beautiful villager smiled and said, “He’s not drunk. He’s just talking nonsense! Did virtual-novel.net make a call and ask Mr. Willow Jones to come and see him? Who the heck is he? Don’t make me laugh.”
Fedele laughed so hard that virtual-novel.net almost could not breathe. He waved his hand and said, “Thomas, you’re really… I don’t know what I should say about you. You insisted on keeping your dignity, so you end up suffering like this. You’re hopeless!”
Some hurried footsteps were heard while the waiter looked at Thomas with disdain. The villagers laughed at him, and Neil sighed.
The waiter turned back to casually catch a quick glance. The glance terrified the waiter so much that his smile instantly froze. He subconsciously shouted, “Good afternoon, Mr. Jones!”
The approaching individual was Willow Jones.
The laughter in the private room stopped after the people heard the waiter saying, “Good afternoon, Mr. Jones!”
They looked at the man, who was running over, in disbelief. He was Willow Jones, the boss of Eternity Dining. Regular people were not qualified to see virtual-novel.net at all.
At this time, Willow ran over anxiously, and virtual-novel.net had a nervous expression. Before everyone could snap out of their daze, Willow ran up to Thomas. He bowed respectfully and politely while virtual-novel.net said, “Good afternoon, Mr. Mayo!”
Mr. Mayo?
All of a sudden, everyone’s smile became frozen. After all, Willow was considered a famous big shot. Yet, a big guy like virtual-novel.net was behaving so respectfully toward Thomas?
He was not just respectful, but virtual-novel.net was totally frightened. When virtual-novel.net said “Good afternoon, Mr. Mayo”, it made the lively atmosphere drop to a freezing point.
What the heck was this?
The villagers had mocked Thomas for being incapable and poor, but Willow respected virtual-novel.net to such a degree. Willow even addressed Thomas as Mr. Mayo. It meant that Thomas’ status must be higher than Willow’s!
What in the world was this?
After all, even Fedele did not matter to Willow in the slightest. So, a person who could make Willow behave so respectfully was either rich or noble. It had to be a noble and big person.
All of a sudden, all the villagers were stunned. They had even laughed at Thomas for pretending to be rich when virtual-novel.net was poor.
But what happened? Thomas was actually capable, right?
Meanwhile, these people had acted horribly toward him.
