He went to his Ford mustang and drove around the city to find a place where a good meal is being served.
Then his wheels brought him to a restaurant named Oakmond Royale Authentic Cuisine.
Located under a very tall trademark building owned by Oakmond Group of Company (OGC)
The top one company in Stanford City where everybody's dream to work with.
He drove in and stop his car at the entrance and because his car was unfamiliar since it is a vintage car he captured the attention of many people
Joseph casually went out of the car and let the valet drive it to the parking area and he went directly to the restaurant.
receptionist approached him.
"Good evening Sir. Do you have a reservation?."
Greeted by the receptionist with a glare of seduction on his eyes.
"Nope, I don't have."
Then Joseph pulled out a black diamond VIP card.
Most of the owners of this card are CEO and important Executive of a big shot company that usually spent 5 to 10 Million a year.
Since he is the CEO of the Stratton Industry so this card can give a lot of luxurious privileges in the whole city of Stanford including Oakmond Royale Authentic Cuisine (ORAC).
When Joseph pulled out that card,
the receptionist immediately recognized it and politely said...
"oh I apologize for not recognizing one of our VVIP and she reached out the Card carefully using her two hands and looked at the name written."
Since Joseph didn't look old
the receptionist guest that he was the son of one of the top 5 companies in Stanford City.
So she carefully mentioned, "Young Lord Joseph let me quickly arrange your VIP room for your dinner."
"No. I don't need a VIP room, just prepare me a table where I can eat nicely in that area."
Joseph said while pointing at the location where he wants to eat which at the top area near the balcony to have a wonderful view of the city while eating.
it was already reserved for someone using a Silver VIP, but since a VVIP requested it, so it must be canceled.
"Right away Sir. Just wait and seat a little bit in our waiting area. You can also read some latest Business magazines."
Hastily preparing the location requested by Joseph.
Then Joseph sat and read the magazine and he saw a familiar face and name.
Together with the Vice-President of Oakmond Group of Industries.
He saw John Clinton the second uncle of his wife and brother of his Cunning Father-in-law in an article that has been awarded recently by (SBC) Stanford Business Community as one of the main contributors in the business society.
His blood suddenly boiled but he doesn't want to ruin his night and flip into the next page and he saw Mr. Tadler picture being tag as The man of the hour
He was also a big contributor in SBC and Stratton Industries already being top 8th business drastically advance at the 5th biggest Industries in SBC contributing in Pharmaceutical Medical Supplies, Banks Investment Insurance, Real state, High-End Hotels Restaurant, Commercial Center, Trading Foreign stock exchange, Port and Sea Vessel and some other business in and out of the Stanford City.
It should Mr. Pete Randal as Chairman of Stratton Industry but it is really important to hide his Identity. Mr. Pete is a shadow and Joseph is a replica.
That is the reason why Mr. Tadler was the one featured in the magazine as acting CEO of the company.
When Joseph is about to stand up a familiar voice calling his old identity...
He was not that easy to sway and he didn't mind that person, he is focused and aware of his new identity.
The person run and hold his shoulder and said his old Identity again then he turn around and saw his friend James Belfort speaking to him
but the receptionist interrupted "Mr. Randal thank you for waiting here your card please kindly make a signature here
"A biometric finger her as well since that card was newly activated."
Then Joseph Randal signed and place his thumb on the sensor and the name Joseph Randal appears with other personal details inscribed to it.
Then he turns around and look at James Belfort and said
"You might have mistaken me for someone. Don't you?"
James Belfort staring at the biometric screen can't believe that he is reading a different name
because he was so sure that the person he approaches was his friend Robert Collins but it appears that he had mistaken shockingly
Then suddenly come to his senses that he was still holding the shoulder of the man and said
"oh, I'm sorry. I thought you were my best friend back in college cause you look exactly the same with him and I just recently heard that there something very tragic happened to him and I was really surprised that I'll see him here but I was wrong and carried away, Sorry for the trouble."
James Belfort said while bent his head forward a little bit.
Joseph just nodded and went straight to his table and order food while waiting for the food.
Joseph enjoyed the drinks as special wine was served by the receptionist.
from afar he can still see James Belfort looking at him several times. He really wants to take to James about what happened to him and ask if there is any news about his wife and son but it wasn't the right time yet.
Then he saw another familiar face coming but he couldn't quite remember the name but the person quite close to him before and approach him and said...
"Hey bro you really looked like one of our colleagues back in college. Are you waiting for someone or you are here alone? Can we join you?." The man asks.
"Sure why not, the table is quite large for me to eat alone, just help yourself"
Joseph agreed because he wants to know about the trend that is going on in Jordain City since it been almost a year when he went missing.
It is an opportunity as well to get some news about his wife and son.
Joseph was very casual and calm with his personality, no one can ever figure out what is his real identity.
"Alright, hey James come here. I'm sorry what is your name again sir?" Ask by the man.
"Joseph Randal. And you are?" Joseph asks even though he already remembers him, he is an old friend as well named Jason Bourne.
"Jason Bourne and my friend here is James Belfort, we also have another friend coming to his name is Sheldon Gordon but his quiet arrogant because he was a son of a Manager Director of JZR pharmaceutical company so we apologize in advanced,
We usually seat in this area so he might think that he is the one who books it." Said Jason apologetic.
Now Joseph gets a little bit interested since he will have a meal with Director Gordon's son.
It is a good chance to observes his attitude towards others cause it will resemble how his father treats other people as well.
Then they saw a young man about their age as well walking towards him with a quiet gorgeous looking lady beside him then went straight to them and immediately sat on the chair and said
"hey yow My brothers, you two looked insecure again. You can be ugly in a day but for goddamn sake don't get used to it and make it every day huh huh haha. Then signed a fist bump to Jason and James."
James Introduces Joseph to Sheldon and talk casually and suddenly turn their attention to Joseph when they heard about the name Robert.
"You really looked like our friend Robert I'm sorry but I couldn't help to notice the exact striking resemblance," James said
but Suddenly Sheldon interrupted and said
"oh come on I already heard the story of your poor loser good-for-nothing friend multiple time and it sounds irritating,
it is not blending well in our status and atmosphere to talk about how failure he is.
Remember guys successful people don't ever talk about failure like him,
it is even inappropriate to compare him to Mr. Randal here. So guys let not spoil our mood" sarcastically said it.
"No, it is alright for me, I don't really mind talking about old good friends, having a friend means having a brother.
Besides failure is just an event, it is a season that whoever has the power to conquer it develop a strong and respectful characteristic.
I guest Sheldon here couldn't understand that since he is still under the wings of his father like a wet stingy chick under the feather of an old rooster"
Joseph said with an insulting tone of voice while continuously eating his delicious food.
Everyone got shocked about they heard from a very mature and sophisticated man, his words really can put a person's face under the mud unable to get up because of embarrassment. This person knows how to humiliates.
Joseph waited for Sheldon to react.
"What did you just say? Oh, you are siding with that loser huh,
you couldn't take the judgment of a strong person like me, that is why you taking it again.
And who the hell invited you here in my table and you are seating on my chair.
I'm just being polite with you since you came with James and Jason and now you have the audacity to speak to me like that."
Said by Sheldon angrily like a chicken chirping to an eagle waiting to get full swallowed.
Joseph smiled and nod
"Huh, why don't you ask the receptionist who's table this is?"
Joseph said without even blinking an eye to Sheldon While still continuously chewing a classic deliciously steak.
"What the f**k are you telling me? I book this god damn table earlier this morning."
Then he shouted to call receptionist while Jason and James kept calming Sheldon down and explaining that his schedule was changed 15 minutes before they arrived
"What? that's bullshit" Sheldon didn't believe in them.
The receptionist hurriedly came over to clarify things and explained rashly to Sheldon that it was a VVIP black diamond cardholder who chosen this location of the table that is why even if its already booked to Sheldon they can't do anything about it.
They should serve the black diamond card VVIP holder properly or else they will get fired.
Then Sheldon calm down and realized that he was speaking to a formidable businessman that he can't afford to get offended.
But Sheldon's personality was really a stubborn one.
Another very insulting words came out from Joseph
"that's what happened to every arrogant person who only knows how to bark but couldn't even strike a single bite. If you like this spot I hand it over to you"
Joseph meant that he was throwing Sheldon a bone. Then he stands up and about to leave while Jason and James are dumbfounded being embarrassed by the way Sheldon reacts into things and the way Joseph was thrown those words.
Sheldon got the words meant by Joseph and shouted
"you mother fucker who the hell gives you the right to humiliate me like this."
But when Sheldon was about to throw battle of wine to Joseph suddenly
A loud shout came from a man above 50's saying "stop right there."
And everyone stop and turned their head where the sound came from and they saw a man wearing a black suit and the man is Mr. Sheridan Gordon.
Sheridan immediately recognized Joseph and came forward
lower his head 90 degrees and said
"I apologize Young Lord Joseph for my son's disrespectful behavior I didn't teach him well."
Everyone in the restaurant was shocked.
Sheldon dumbfounded and immediately bent forward fearfully lowered his head more than 90 degrees to apologized
He runs out of the word to say and hardly open his mouth and bids of cold sweat continuously dropping from his forehead.
While both of them respectfully bending 90 degrees. Joseph said
"Criticized and you will be Criticize as well, bad words can backfire and most of the time it hits harder when it bounces back"
"Treat others like how you would like to be treated."
Then Joseph walked out straight to the door and waited for the valet to bring his car but both father and son didn't dare to stand up until Joseph Randal went driving.
The way Joseph Randal deliver those words felt like anyone who could hear him got struck by lightning in broad daylight. His attitude was terrifying as Lion looking at his prey.
