As John's friends were following John behind, Kevin kept on complaining " Why didn't you allow me to beat up that punk and look at that bitch that called herself your girlfriend, she just dumped you just like that after all what you had done for her simply because she claimed that you are not rich. Didn't she know you weren't rich when she was dating you. Ahh such a vicious bitch. When I think of that guy's arrogant face, I almost had the urge of killing him instantly"
"Stop talking Kevin" Joseph said to Kevin. He turned and looked at John and asked calmly " are you ok buddy?"
" I'm still alive right? I loved her bro but I guessed my love wasn't strong enough to make her stay. I guess being poor can't get you a stable or a suitable relationship these days. Paul I guess your previous statement about how me being handsome and intelligent can get you a beautiful girlfriend has been proven wrong. Only money can do that" John said and he smile bitterly to himself when you thought about his relationship with Mabel, how he had to work as a delivery man and also as a waiter so that he could be able to meet up with Mabel's demands. Who was mostly demanding him to buy her luxurious items such Chanel purse, Louis Vuitton bags and luxurious clothes, and he has always been doing that without any complaints because he loved her.
But who knew that his constant efforts and love wasn't appreciated at all.
"What are you going to do about your cousin?" Joseph asked
"Sigh, I don't want to think about that for now. I just want to forget about this whole episode for now. I want to do something now to get my mind off of it." John let out a breath and said
"Then let's go get drunk and have some fun " Paul suddenly suggested
As John was thinking about that option, his phone suddenly rang
Ring Ring Ring
When John saw the name of the caller, he became agitated. That's because the person calling him was the Supervisor of the restaurant he was working at.
When John picks up the call, he could hear a man yelling at the other end of the phone "John Lewis where are you? Don't you know that it's working hour already. If you are not interested in working here again then just tell me so I won't waste my time with you again".
When John picked up the call, he knew he was bound to be reprimanded because he was late for work. The event that has happened with Mabel today has made him forget about his part-time job
"I'm sorry Sir, I'm still interested in working there Sir. I was just caught up in an emergency and I didn't take note of the time. Sorry again Sir, I'm on my way now". John apologized and said
"I don't want to hear any excuses from you. You have 20 minutes to get here and if I don't see you here after 20 minutes, then don't bother coming again " The Supervisor threatened and hung up the phone after saying that without waiting for John's reply.
"I'm sorry guys but Let's postpones that drinking for another day because right now I need to get to work" John said to his friends and quickly rushed to the road side to get a taxi to where he works.
The good thing is that where he was at the moment was not to far from the Ebony Restaurant where he works as a server.
Under 10 minutes, John got to the restaurant. When he got closer to the restaurant entrance, he could see the Supervisor standing at the door while looking at his watch and John knew that he would have been fired by him if he wasn't there under the supposed 20 minutes.
When the man saw John, he just glared at him furiously at turn around and left without saying anything to John.
John quickly rushed into the restaurant and started doing his job by serving customers their dishes.
As John kept on serving dishes, he heard a familiar voice called out to a waiter. When he turned around, he saw Jacob and Mabel sitting at a table and staring at him and Jacob had smug smile on his face.
He instantly knew that they were here to cause trouble and the only way to avoid that is to ignore them.
But would Jacob allowed himself to be ignored?
