Chapter 16
Golden Palace Restaurant is one of the best middle-class restaurants in Blue Island.
Damien worked here in the past as a dish washer, and he had always wanted to try their special delicacy. Now that he has money, he decided to eat at Golden Palace restaurant.
Damien entered the restaurant, went upstairs, and sat down in the VIP section. He called for the waiter immediately.
The waiter walked towards Damien.
“Welcome Sir. I will be taking your orders”
Andrew handed over the food menu to Damien.
Damien collected the menu. He raised his head to see the waiter, and surprisedly, it was Andrew.
Andrew eyebrows raised,he couldn't believe, Damien is trying to make a fool of him, he knows how poor Damien was when he used to work here, he usually bully Damien in every situation he get, sometimes he force Damien to pay for the leftover food before he gives him, and sometimes he doesn't give him any.
He knows Damien can't afford any food here, and he was angry he had to address Damien as Sir.
“You piece of shit, you think you can make a fool of me; get your stinking ass out of this chair before I lose it on you.”
Damien was not surprised by Andrew's attitude; he had always mistreated him in the past, and he expected nothing less from him this time. Damien put on a fake smile; deep down he's not happy. He had always wanted to smack Andrew and that useless Jordan, the manager of Golden Palace restaurant, but he doesn't want to make a scene here.
“I'm not trying to make a fool of you; I just want to eat.”
Damien started checking out what he wanted.
Andrew has a disbelieving look; he knows Damien couldn't even afford the leftover food unless he reduced the price, and now he wants to eat at the VIP sector. What a fool he is; he probably wants to delay his time. Then flee away without buying anything.
“Get out of here you scumbag; you can't afford anything on this menu. You better get your ass up and leave this place this minute before I call the security.”
“Take go get me this food I just selected.”
Damien didn't listen to Andrew's words; he handed the menu to him.
Andrew's eyebrows pushed down; he can't believe Damien is pretending to be deaf. Does he think he can escape once he leaves to get his orders?
Andrew raised his voice.
“You bastard! I know you can't afford what you just selected; get up and leave now; your presence is ruining the flow of business already.”
Andrew's voice attracted the people sitting nearby. They gazed in Damian's direction.
“Who is he?”
“He looks so fake.”
“Can't you see his clothes? He shouldn't be here.”
“How can such a person be allowed in here?”
Jordan, the restaurant manager, was hosting some of his friends in a special room when he heard Andrew's voice, so he decided to check what was happening.
His face squinted when he saw that Damien was the cause of the trouble.
“You bastard, why are you here? We don't have free food for you; now get out this minute.”
Damien didn't respond to him at first; he expected nothing less from Jordan, but he was not going to take more nonsense, so he faced Jordan and pointed Andrew.
“I ordered some food, but your waiter refused to take my order.”
“Shut up your mouth; you can't afford any food here; if you want food, buy it from the street,those are the ones you can afford.”
Jordan was surprised by Damien's attitude; he knows Damien can't afford any of the food, but the fool still wants to order.
He collected the menu from Andrew to check what kind of food Damien ordered.
His eyebrows furrowed when he saw the food Damien ordered. the very best on the list.
“You can't pay for this food, you scumbag; get your—”
Damien cut Jordan off.
“How much is it?”
Damien's words made Jordan and Andrew look at each other in disbelief. Both of them knew Damien couldn't afford what he ordered, but Jordan decided to make an example of Damien if he failed to pay for it. he ordered Andrew to tell Damien the cost of the meal.
“It's $30,000 dollars sir.”
Jordan faces Damien
“You heard him. No going back on your—”
“Too cheap”
Damien cut Jordan off, and Jordan smiled. It seems Damien is drunk, and he happened to wander inside his former workplace, thinking he is a rich man. He won't show him any mercy if he can't afford the meal.
He calculated the years Damien would have to work to pay off the money, and his cheeks moved.
“I'm going to put this fool through hell.”
He murmured to himself.
The food was served, and Jordan was sitting close to Damien, with some security guards not too far away.
Jordan's friends were tired of waiting for him to come back, so they decided to go look for him.
“There you are; what are you doing here?”
One of them asked Jordan she move closer to him.
“It is not fair to just abandon your friends and come sit with a customer.”
Jordan stood up from his seat to apologize to them, and he pointed at Damien.
“I'm sorry, it was this former dish washer that ordered what he clearly can't afford.”
He pointed at Damien, and one of Jordan's friends decided to go take a look at his face. She walked close to Damien, then burst out laughing.
“Hahaha”
“Jordan I hope you have more dirty plates this time.”
Jordan also burst into laughter.
“Lori, he ordered a meal that cost $30,000 dollars; he will have to wash our plates for two years to pay up that amount.”
Damien continued to enjoy his meal. He doesn't want to say anything to them; they can talk all they want; he doesn't care.
Lori was angry that Damien refused to talk or show any expression to their words; instead, he was purposely making sounds with the spoon. She stands in front of him and points her finger.
“Enjoy your last meal, because this is going to be the very last meal you enjoy.”
Her eyes squinted as she looked at Damien, disgusted.
Damien raised his voice a little.
“Get your disgusting body out of my view.”
He faces Jordan immediately.
“Is this how you treat VIP customers? What a bad service you guys are providing here.”
Damien's words made Jordan more furious. His eyebrows almost closed his eyes.
The other Lori friend decided to go see the arrogant customer herself; she came closer, only to see it was Damien.
Jessica's eyes widened.
