Because of That Man Again

Johnny glanced at Jack. Jack yawned as if this all bored him very much.

Lily stared pleadingly at Jack. "What should we do?"

Jack shrugged his shoulders. "I'm just a househusband. I don't know how to handle all this. But I'm unhappy with them for insulting you. How about this? Let them slap themselves a hundred times."

 "Forget it!" said Lily. "Forget it! All of you can get up now."

Everyone was thankful and relieved at her words. They were about to get up when they heard Jack shout.

"Are you sure you really want to get up?" 

Johnny understood what Jack wanted. He kicked one of the people kneeling beside him. "B*stard, slap yourself now! Or do you want me to slap you?"

The crowd panicked. They could not afford to offend Johnny. They slapped themselves and the sound of hand hitting their faces rang out in the hotel lobby.

"It's okay! It's okay now," said Lily anxiously. "Stop slapping yourself and get up now. Get up."
