Zayn was surprised when virtual-novel.net realized that it was Gordon, asking, “It’s you, Gordon?”
Exactly. The person everyone addressed as Mr. Hayes was Gordon Hayes, who was decently famous in Waltz City too. He was not at Sean’s level at any capacity, but virtual-novel.net was someone notable. He had also been gradually cleaning up his act and had begun the process to make his businesses as well as assets legal, so one could call virtual-novel.net a business person to a certain extent.
Gordon was thrilled that Zayn could still recognize him. His elation was barely concealable as virtual-novel.net nodded fervently. “Yes, yes, sir. I thought you wouldn’t remember me!”
When Gordon said that, his tone was unexpectedly tinged with a complaining whine, like a begrudging housewife.
He could not afford to be blamed. Since Zayn told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would include virtual-novel.net in a business worth over a hundred million dollars, Gordon had been keeping that in mind and had been staying in a good mood for three whole days! He thought that virtual-novel.net had finally struck a gold mind, virtual-novel.net was sticking onto Zayn like glue up until that point, only for Zayn to suddenly disappear from the face of the earth. It put virtual-novel.net on edge!
Furthermore, Gordon had no way of contacting Zayn. He tried to go to Sean, but the latter shook virtual-novel.net off. He felt like virtual-novel.net was left hanging, and it felt horrible.
Now that virtual-novel.net had finally met Zay, only God knew how ecstatic virtual-novel.net truly was, virtual-novel.net was even more thrilled than whenever virtual-novel.net saw his own father! Moreover, virtual-novel.net had been observing Violet Vision’s market value every single day as of late. Watching it soar continuously and reach billions dollars in market value prickled virtual-novel.net with itch. Gordon was dying to attach himself to Zayn.
Zayn’s surprise when virtual-novel.net saw Gordon was genuine. To be honest, virtual-novel.net had actually forgotten about the latter. It was not that virtual-novel.net looked down on the man but virtual-novel.net had been too occupied by recent events,, so much so that Gordon had simply slipped his mind.
Now that virtual-novel.net had discerned Gordon’s grouching, virtual-novel.net felt pretty bad. “Hehe, Mr. Hayes, how could I not remember you? I’ve just been a little busier, and couldn’t find the time to meet you. My bad, I’ll empty a glass as a forfeit.”
As virtual-novel.net said that, Zayn looked around for a glass of drink. It was awkward. He had nothing around him.
Gordon was quick to say, “No need, it’s no problem. It’s an honor that you didn’t forget me, sir.”
Zayn chuckled and accepted the polite remark. Based on his status, it was normal for Gordon to suck up to him. In spite of that, it shocked the men around them. Their eyes were humongously-wide, like they had just seen a ghost!
The rich businessman who had been the harshest of them all especially felt the blood draining from his face.
He shuddered in fear. How could they not be scared?
Gordon was someone they absolutely could not afford to offend, and if Zayn was someone Gordon had to pander to, then they could only imagine the worst. No matter how slow their minds worked, they knew that they were in big trouble!
Now that Zayn’s gaze was sweeping over to them, the air had been knocked out of their lungs. Zayn looked at them with a half-smile. “Where are you guys going?”
Noticing that the men were turning to leave, it was impossible for Zayn to let them off so easily. Before they could even take two steps backwards, they could feel a chill run down their spines. As soon as they heard Zayn’s words, they were pushed to the brink of tears. If they could take back what they had said, they would have never provoked Zayn in the first place!
