Chapter 1204 Anything else
The situation worsened as none of them was ready to admit their misdoing. All they wanted was to see
and enjoy the awkwardness of Sheryl and I. All the people in the restaurant had stopped eating and
gravitated towards the four of them.
Holley slightly nodded at Rachel and she immediately picked up the hint with an easy smile on her
face.
I walked to the cashier''s counter and said to one of the workers, "Excuse me, sir, may I check the
real-time monitoring recording, please?"
"I''m sorry, miss. But ording to the rules of ourpany, the surveince videos are forbidden to be
checked," the worker replied politely, bowing himself in front of I.
I creased her brows upon hearing the reply. However, she maintained herposure and insisted,
"Why? I''m not asking for your secret video, I am just asking for the daily ones. I''m sure that they''re not
your secret videos, so why can''t I check it? Could you please give me an answer?" I was angry
when she heard that she couldn''t check any videos, even the daily passenger''s videos. However, she
knew that she could not lose her temper right now. The priority at the moment was to prove that Holley
was responsible for the entire debacle and for that she needed the cooperation of the restaurant staff.
Hence she knew that she had to deal with the situation through logic and reasoning.
"I''m very sorry, miss, I have to abide by thepany rules. I''ll appreciate it if you can respect my work.
Thank you," the worker replied in a t manner and stood in front of I with his eyes lowered
disying respect. He posed as if he was helpless and could not fulfill I''s demands out of the fear of
losing his job.
I couldn''t believe it, and said, "What''s gotten into your boss'' head? Can he really fire you just
because of such a small thing?"
"Hey, what''s wrong with you? He told you that you couldn''t see the videos, and that''s thepany''s
rules. Just let him be, okay?" The crowd around the four of them, who were silent spectators until now,
started voicing their opinions. "Why don''t you just get out of here? Don''t presume that no one knows
what happened. We were all present right here. We have seen it all. You can''t me someone like
this," came from an unknown face.
"Yeah, it''s obvious to see what happened. There''s no need for the surveince video. It''s thepany
leaders who set the rules but not the workers, can you please stop making trouble for him?" another
one said.
"Get out of here, you two stupid cows! We''re here to have our meal. Don''t make trouble for yourself.
You''re not weed here." another woman said angrily.
"Get out of here! Get out!"
More people began to yell at them.
"Just get out of here! You make me sick. Look at you, who do you think you are? Do you really think
you are someone that matters? You just identally fell down, but you disturbed all the people over
here. How can you do that?"
Sheryl turned around and protested, "We just wanted to make sure what had happened, and we didn''t
do anything to bring trouble to others. Why should we get out? Who are you to tell us whether we have
the right to be here or not?"
Sheryl stood strong at the face of crowd hurling abuses on them. The people turned deaf ears to the
logic she gave and insisted that Sheryl and I should leave so that peace could be restored in the
restaurant. "No! You don''t have any right to stay here today. Why don''t you just shut your mouth and
get out of here right now? Or you are waiting for me to throw you out!" Sheryl and I didn''t expect to
be snowed under by the strangers in this manner. As they were being hurled with abuses and curses,
Holley and Rachel stood by the side and enjoyed the scene. They put up innocent looks on their faces
and asionally shared candid nces and sly smiles with each other.
Sheryl was now standing at the center of the storm, and she could feel the abuses falling on her like
stones and arrows being hurled at her. Yet, she tried to stand strong and fought back as much as she
could. Slowly, they could feel the crowd getting the upper hand. Sheryl could not find any good clue to
turn the situation in their favor.
I stood beside Sheryl, trying to protect her but still had no way. Holley and Rachel were looking
down and sneering at them but did nothing to help them. But when Sheryl had almost lost all hope to
escape the trap, a man''s voice stormed through the hall, making everyone startled. The entire crowd
looked around to see as he demanded an exnation.
"Who told you that we can''t check the surveince video?" he asked.
He took long and impactful strides ahead as he approached the epicenter of the chaos. He was tall and
strong with an impressionable personality. Hearing what he said, all the people held their breaths and
hovered.
The worker recognized the man, he stammered, "Mr.... Mr. Lu." He suddenly remembered that this was
the man his boss eagerly wanted to meet. His boss tried his best to manage to meet Charles, but at
The same Charles Lu was standing in front of him. The worker regarded him with awe. How could he
lose this chance to earn some brownie points and be in the good books of his boss? Without wasting a
single moment, he sent a message to his boss telling him what happened.
Charles walked directly to the worker without looking at anyone around. He looked at the worker and
firmly asked, "Answer my question, who told you that the surveince videos are forbidden to check?"
"I''m so sorry, Mr. Lu. The surveince videos can definitely be checked, but thatdy ordered me to say
that," the worker stammered pointing his finger at Holley. He was very well aware who the man was. He
was even intelligent enough to understand that his future in thepany was in this man''s hand to a
So how could he not tell him the truth? Besides, he didn''t want to miss the chance to do something
outstanding for thepany he worked for.
As soon as the worker spoke, there was a sudden hustle bustle in the room all over again. The crowd
that had gathered around them gaped at Holley, Sheryl, and the worker. Now they started casting angry

looks at Holley.
They couldn''t believe that it was Holley who set all this and was pretending to be innocent. They were
now feeling sorry for Sheryl who also got hurt so badly. They felt embarrassed for having hurled such
abuses on her. The worker nced at the people around and continued, "I''m telling you the truth, Mr.
Lu. The woman came to me secretly and gave me some money. She asked me to say that the
surveince videos were a trade secret, so no one but my boss could check them. I can show you the
video on how she bribed me." He kept repeating himself. Charles got pissed off when he heard that
and he interrupted the worker, "Enough! Show me the videos now! All of them." The worker nodded
and said, "Yes, Mr. Lu. Just one second." He stopped talking and got down to his work at once.
The surveince videos were shown to all the people soon. It was very clear that Rachel and Holley set
all that. The entire conversation between them and how Holley tripped Sheryl, even her evil smile was
clear in front of everyone.
Moreover, how Holley walked to the cashier to bribe the worker before Sheryl went to ask for the video
was clearly recorded.
"Oh, my goodness, look what we have done! We wronged the two girls! Now we know who the real
liars are. How foolish of us! How could we believe in those liars?" The people around began to realize
that they had made a mistake. And now the abuses and curses turned towards Holley and Rachel.
"How could you do that? How could you me the others for what they didn''t do?"
anotherdy said pointing at Holley and Rachel.
"We wronged you two. We''re sorry for what we said to you just now!" It seemed that they had forgotten
how they abused and cursed Sheryl and I just a while ago. And now they began to me Holley the
same way.
Holley and Rachel tried to use the mob power to harass Sheryl and I. And now the entire situation
turned against them. Both of them stood there looking like thieves.
"Holley, is there anything else you want to say?" I walked to Holley, stared at her and asked in a low
and stern voice.
