Chapter 31 Unexpected Punishmen
"Ermm..." Davina was caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. She stood rooted to the spot
and looked at her mean colleague and Horace simultaneously. She didn''t want to offend any of them.
At this moment, a voice came from the entrance door. "Mr. Rivera, wee to the Vloni Bakery. It''s a
great honor to have you here. Even though this is not the best in Rinas, it''s top-notch in this city. Our
cakes are sought after by many!"
"You two poor losers, take your stinky money and get lost. Our boss is here with a big shot. Don''t get in
the way with your impoverished selves!" The tall attendant shooed Horace and La away.
The wealthy man, who was with the owner of the cake shop, met with a surprise when he came in. He
didn''t expect to bump into Horace here. ''What a pleasant surprise!'' he eximed inwardly.
The owner of the cake shop, Brice Aston, had brought none other than Farris, the most dangerous and
one of the wealthiest men in Rinas.
Farris came here because his lover liked the cake from this shop. Her birthday was fast approaching,
so he wanted to buy the entire shop for her as a gift. He was only doing it for love. Otherwise, as the
boss of a sessful securitypany, he had no business here.
He had made an appointment with the owner of the shop in the afternoon, but he postponed it for two
hours because he had to help Horace to deal with the troublesome man on the bus. It was after he was
done with the man that he came here. He didn''t expect that he would meet Horace here at this time.
Farris was taken by another surprise at the same time. He had just heard the mean attendant
addressing Horace as a poor loser. His blood boiled and his face darkened immediately.
A thought suddenly urred to him when he noticed that La was tugging at Horace''s shirt. He was a
little surprised that Horace would like this kind of girl. He knew that Horace still wanted to keep his true
identity under wraps, so he decided to keep it secret. He pointed at the tall attendant and said to the
middle-aged man in a suit that was standing beside him, "Mr. Aston! Did you train your attendants to be
rude to customers? If so, I doubt if you have any regr customers here. Good customer service ys
a pivotal role in the sess of a business. If I buy this shop, I will lose money if all the customers
refuse toe back because of the bad customer service."
Farris had wanted the cake shop just to please his lover. He didn''t care if it was a profitable deal or not.
However, he changed his mind within seconds. The shop attendant had treated Horace badly, and this
was something he couldn''t overlook.
The moment Horace heard Farris''s statement, he secretly gave him a thumbs-up. He couldn''t help
admiring him greatly. Although Farris was a brutal man, he was considerate and hated any form of
injustice. He not only kept Horace''s true identity a secret, but also stood up for him. His behavior fully
exined why he once was the leader of all the underground gangsters in Rinas.
Farris had been keeping a close eye on Horace. He was overjoyed when he saw the thumbs-up
Horace gave him. He was loyal to the Warren family, so it was a big deal that the heir appreciated his
efforts. His heart leaped with great excitement, but he maintained a straight face.
Brice''s smile instantly disappeared when he heard Farris''sint. He frowned at the tall attendant
and asked, "What happened? Have you forgotten what I told you before? Customers are kings. They
are to be revered. What were you doing just now?"
The tall attendant looked at her boss fearfully. Although she had a good working rtionship with him,
she knew that she was just a nobody in the presence of big shots. She was even lowlier in Farris''s
presence because he was superior to her boss. Her arrogance vanished into thin air. With her voice
to buy a cake for his girlfriend with the money some people donated for his mother''s medical bills. I was
calmly dissuading him from spending the money here at the expense of his mother''s health."
Farris snorted coldly before Brice could say anything. "You were calmly dissuading him? Come on,
exin your words clearly. I heard you call them poor losers. Is that how to talk to customers? And
does that sound like you were trying to dissuade him calmly? You can''t deceive me with your poor
acting. Cut the crap, you lying bitch!"
''Wow! Uncle Farris is really mad at her. He''s indeed the biggest gangster in Rinas. He''s probably the
only person that can curse out anyone in this manner. Well, it serves her right!'' Horace sighed inwardly
as things got heated.
The tall attendant shivered uncontrobly under Farris''s re and reprimand. She was like a sheep
who was about to be torn into pieces by a ferocious lion. Never had she imagined that a big shot would
curse her out. Worse still, Farris had no intention of cutting her some ck. Now she had no choice but
to turn to her boss for help.
Meanwhile, Brice was confused and shocked because of the outburst. He wondered why Farris was
berating the attendant because of a trifle. He swallowed his employee''s exnation, hook, line, and
sinker. Since she had been a good employee, he decided to help her out. "Mr. Rivera, I think it''s just a
small misunderstanding. I will circle back to itter. How about we go to the baking room and have a
look?" Brice said to Farris in a low voice.
"A small misunderstanding? Brice, are you fucking blind? How can you treat this matter with levity?
Didn''t you overhear what she said when we came in? Your silly attendant called him a poor loser. How
is that a small misunderstanding? Damn it! Tell me, if you go to a shop to buy something, will you be
happy if the attendant calls you a poor loser and attempts to drive you away? You will be unhappy,
won''t you? Will you go back there after that bad treatment? What the fuck! My instincts tell me that this
is not the first time this attendant is doing such a thing. If this continues, nobody would patronize this
shop again! How can you say this is a small misunderstanding? No wonder you are still so poor? You
want to change your financial status, but you can''t manage a small cake shop the right way. Ptui!"
Farris spat on Brice when he finished chastising him.
With an angrier tone, he asked, "Brice, let me ask you, are you happy that I spat on you? If you are
unhappy, don''t fucking tell me that this is just a small misunderstanding. The same way you feel right

now is how this customer feels because your attendant called him a poor loser!"
As Brice looked at the saliva on his exquisite suit, he wanted to burst into tears. But he could only fight
back the tears and remain respectful to Farris. He couldn''t afford to be in the bad books of one of the
wealthiest men in Rinas. Due to his humble background and financial status, he wasn''t a match for
Farris at all. He was nothing but a poor man in his eyes.
Brice''s confusion increased at this moment. He couldn''t fathom why Farris humiliated him just because
of a stranger. ''Why is he treating me like this? Am I worth less than a stranger in his eyes?'' His heart
broke as he pondered.
Despite his unhappiness, he didn''t dare to show it on his face. He stered an apologetic smile on his
face and shook his head like a bunny. "Mr. Rivera, your illustration has made me realize how it feels."
He turned to look at the tall attendant and said disapprovingly, "Ste, your behavior today is
uneptable. In view of this, you are fired. You will be paid for the work you have done this month. Go
to the financial department to get it. Don''te here tomorrow!"
Brice''s deration hit Ste Duffy like a bolt from the blue. Her extreme bossiness stemmed from the
fact that she had a good rtionship with Brice. She loved working here. This job was her only source
of ie. She would lose everything she had without this job.
