Chapter 202
‘That''s impossible!” the manager boomed, unintentionally attracting people''s attention.
Flustered, he cleared his throat and waited for the right moment to exin, “Our airport''s security
members are professionals. Every aircraft has a dedicated safety inspector, so our nes will never
falter. I bet you''re someone with ulterior motives. You must have gotten hired by ourpetitors to
spread fake news!"
Darius nced at the man from the control room and said, "I believe you guys can confirm whether I''m
telling the truth or not. I''ve already wasted plenty of time in this airport, which is a tremendous loss on
my part. So, I hope we can resolve this soon."
The man nodded. Although the two came to an agreement, they did not consider the manager''s
feelings.
That caused the manager’s eyes to widen with rage, and he thundered, ” You guys are being
unreasonable! Our airport has nothing to do with the matter!”
He then scanned Darius from top to bottom before shing a disdainful look.
“Look at you. Your clothes don''t look like they’re worth much. Plus, I''ve never seen you before! I''ve
checked your ticket purchase records, and it seems you’ve never even bought a flight ticket from us
before today. You should know that ourpany is the best among all other airlinepanies. That''s
why our prices are much higher than theirs. Therefore, it proves that you have never bought a ticket
from us before. Yet, you and your group suddenly bought expensive tickets from us today. I bet you got
paid by our rivalpanies and are trying to defame us."
The man from control room stood aside without speaking, but his eyes were on Darius, scrutinizing
him.
Darius felt his gaze shift upon hearing the manager''s words. He scoffed before responding, "It seems
your eyesight isn’t that good, despite you being an airlinepany’s manager."
While saying that, he crossed one leg over the other, adding, "If you had good vision, you would know
the clothes I''m wearing, excluding any essories, are worth more than your yearly sry."
The manager fell silent. He had to admit what Darius said was true.
Even so, something clicked in his mind after a few seconds. He ced his hands on his waist again
and spoke louder than before.
‘That''s because thepany you''re working for provided clothes for you! Since they gave you money
to purchase expensive tickets, they obviously had to get you a luxury outfit to match!"
N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Darius’ughter grew when he heard that. "If that''s the case, then the clothes they gave me, including
all the essories on my body, are worth far more than what they''re paying me to defame you. I can
easily leave with all these luxury items and not do the task."
Erin stood behind Darius throughout the exchange, perplexity flickering in her eyes.
She mused, "Mr. Reid isn''t normally a chatterbox, yet he’s been talking more these two days. It may
seem like he’s in a good mood, but that’s definitely untrue. I don''t know why he would do this. One
thing''s clear, though, nothing good will happen if we continue to waste our time here."
Her brows drew close, but she ultimately decided to y along with him.
It was then that Darius’ actions cleared her doubts. He waited until he saw someone approach before
saying, “I''m not a talkative man, but I''m willing to waste my time on you guys."
He inteced his fingers, ced them on hisp, and then raised his chin at the manager.
That made the manager''s cheeks flush. It was understandable since no one would like to hear they
were wasting others’ time. Hence, his eyes bore a hole into Darius.
"Don''t look at me like that. I don''t like it," Darius said, enunciating his words slowly as he turned to meet
the manager''s gaze. The manager blew up with rage again because of that. He stomped his foot and
pointed at Darius, seething, ‘That! That look of yours makes you seem uncivilized! Like you received
little education since childhood! Your actions and words just now aren''t anything like a wealthy
person''s. They''re enough to prove your current wealth doesn''te from you nor your family!"
After that, the manager felt smug, like he had discovered another world of problems. He then glowered
at Erin, adding, "And that woman beside you. She may try hard to act like your secretary, but in reality,
the two of you could be in a scandalous rtionship! After all, her eyes have been on you this whole
time!"
Disdain filled his eyes when he uttered thest sentence.
Only then did Darius cast a normal nce at the manager. However, his tone came out frosty. "Are you
aware of your hateful gaze toward me now?"
"W-What the hell do you mean by that? Everyone can tell you two are a couple who are out to scam
people! There are many fraudsters like you in the world. There''s no way I''ll fall for your lies! Our airline
company will neverpromise norpensate you just because you''re threatening us!” the manager
said.
Darius was still on the chair, shing a grin at the manager, albeit one filled with mockery.
‘There''s this saying-a person with an ugly heart sees the world as being unsightly," Darius replied while
tucking his hands in his pockets, standing, and locking eyes with the manager. "Anyway, your words
have angered me. If you don''t apologize now, I promise you''ll regret your actions in the next ten
minutes."
It was then that the manager calmed down.
He had been focusing on Darius’ case all this time. Darius never seemed nervous in his eyes.
However, he firmly believed his assumptions.
The manager was extra confident after seeing Erin blush when he assumed she and Darius were a
couple. To him, her reaction was evidence proving he was right.
It was evident that the manager had many opinions regarding the matter. Those were unknown to
Darius, nor did he want to know.
