Chapter 2265


    Johannes'' heart raced. He darted his frantic gaze around the room, thinking of a way to get out.


    While he was still thinking of an escape, Nathan spoke.


    "There you are, Thomas."


    Thomas?


    Johanne s blood ran cold. He almost sprang from his seat.


    Why is he referring to him using his first name? I wasn''t serious when I said I know Thomas Nathan is gonna get us all killed at this rate! What does he think he''s doing?


    Johannes'' face turned pale as he sensed the gravity of the situation.


    The image of Thomas being infuriated when he found out about his lies began to form in Johannes'' mind.


    Just as he thought Thomas was about to teach Nathan a good lesson, something unexpected urred.


    Not only did Thomas not get angry, but he also went over to Nathan with a sheepish smile on his face after Nathan greeted him. "Mr. Cross! It''s really you! Why didn''t you tell me you''re here in Channing? I would''vee to wee you immediately if I knew!"


    Mr. Cross?Wee him?


    Johannes''jaw dropped to the ground with his eyes wide open like saucers as he stared at Nathan.


    What the hell is going on?So Nathan is his boss? That man clearly told me he''s a soldier!


    "Why do I need to tell you? I''m not some old man who needs taking care of," Nathan joked and then nced at Johannes.


    "By the way, this is Johannes Little. He ims to know you. He even said you work for his family. Do you know him?”


    Thomas frowned and followed Nathan''s gaze. When he saw Johannes, he shook his head in confusion. "I don''t know him, or his family."


    Thomas'' gaze hardened as he scrutinized the man. "I don''t know what''s going on, but you''d better watch your tongue."


    The truth was, Johannes really did spend some time abroad, but he was there to study. Throughout those years, he impersonated different people to take advantage of people, but now that he faced up with Thomas and Nathan, his legs became feeble.


    The petrified man looked at them beseechingly, apologizing profusely. "I-I was just joking, Mr. Dunn. I don''t mean to offend you. Please forgive me."

    Thomas would have finished Johannes off if it were not for Nathan.


    He grunted at his apology and looked back at Nathan, putting up a smile.


    "I don''t know that man, and neither do I care about who he is. I''m just here to see you, Mr. Cross," he said, taking up a ss. "Have a drink, Mr. Cross."


    With that said, he gulped down his


    wine heartily without waiting for Nathan. He looked around at


    everyone andughed. "Well, yo


    guys enjoy the meal! I''ll get going first. Let me know if y''all need


    anything." Content belongs

    After making sure that his guests were served properly, Thomas left.


    When the group was left to their own again, Johannes suddenly felt the whole ambiance be tense.


    Shame flooded over him and he could not even look them in the eyes.


    He would never imagine that his lie would be exposed so cruelly. It turned out that the man he ridiculed was the very man Thomas worked for.


    Johanness'' face pumped red in humiliation when he thought about how he bragged about his rtionship with Thomas.

    He simply had to swallow his pride and eat with them no matter how they thought of him as a joke.


    Kylie, who had been watching him, found him utterly despicable.


    She was not fond of the idea of meeting Johannes, to begin with. Now that she found out about his duplicitous nature, she was disgusted.


    The meal continued on. Everyone had a great time except for Johannes, who felt like he was being grilled on the stove.


    I have to avenge my pride. I should''ve learned something else other than Taekwondo. A ck-belt level is useless in this situation.
