When John got to the Hotel entrance, he was stopped by two security guards especially when they have seen him getting down from a taxi.
"What's the matter?" John asked calmly
"Where do you think you are going?" One of security guards asked John rudely.
"I'm going inside. Is there a problem?"
When they heard what John said and looking at the way he was dressed, they both burst out laughing.
"Does this hotel looks like a place where anyone like you can go in? Please leave here immediately" one of guards rudely shouted at John.
This wasn't the first time that John has encountered such a thing simply because of how he was dressed. If it was any other day, John would have left without saying anything but not today because he needs to change his coward personality. And to top it all these security guards were stopping him from going into his own hotel.
"Is there a rule that specifies that people can't go into this hotel base on how the dress?" John asked calmly
"I don't want to listen to your nonsense. Just get out of here. Just looking at you, I know you must have surely come to beg for food " one of the guards said
"I'm a guest at this hotel" John said impatiently
They both burst out laughing again when they heard him say that.
"Does this hotel looks like a place where a person like you can live in? Just look at what you are wearing, is not even up to 20 dollars and you say you are a guest in this hotel. Bah, who are you fooling? Do you we look like 3 years old to you?" One of the guard snorted and said to John arrogantly in disdain.
John was already angry at this time, if he was somewhere else, he would have taught them a lesson but he was restraining himself from doing so because he didn't want to disturb the atmosphere of the hotel since it was now his.
"I will repeat myself one last time, I'm a guest at this hotel and if you don't let me enter now then you would regret it for the rest of your life". John just looked at them and said.
"Hahaha, who do you think you are to threaten us like this? Get out of here immediately" one guard said and the other one added "Do you believe that I can beat you here if you still don't leave from here?"
John just shook his head and said "I warned you. You will not react until you see blood"
John took out his phone to call Oscar whose number he's gotten during the day.
The phone rang twice and it was picked up "Hello"
"Mr Oscar, this is John Lewis, I'm standing in front of hotel and the guards are preventing me from going in" John spoke lightly
"What!" Oscar jumped up from his seat in shock and said hurriedly "I will be right there Mr Lewis" Oscar said and rushed out.
"Okay" John said and hung up the phone.
When the two security guards heard him mentioned the name Mr Oscar, the general manager of the hotel, they became afraid but when they take a closer look at what John was wearing, they relaxed and believe that he was trying to scare them.
"Keep on boasting here. Who do you think you are to know General Manager Oscar. Do you think a poor beggar like you can know Mr Oscar?" One guard said
"Hahaha, why don't you say that you're also the owner of this hotel" the other guard added
"How do you know?" John smile and said.
But he knew that they would not believe him. As expected, one of the security guards looked at him and sneer and said "leave this place right now or I will hit you right now" he said this why raising his baton trying to hit John
"Stop" an anxious voice was suddenly heard.
The two security guards stopped in their movements and looked at where the voice was coming from, when they saw that it was the General Manager, one of security guards tried to curry favor with and said while pointing at John "Sir this poor beggar came here dressed all shabby saying that he was a guest at this hotel and we stopped him from going in"
Oscar trembled in fear when he heard the guard said that.
"Shut up" Oscar shouted and slapped the guard. Oscar hurriedly went to John and bowed down his head while saying "Mr Lewis, I'm...."
"I can see that you have trained your people well" John cut him off and said sarcastically.
When Oscar heard John said that, he stood there in fear and his whole back was drenched in cold sweat.
When the two security guards saw how respectful Oscar was towards John, they tremble in fear and their legs almost gave way.
John tapped Oscar on the shoulder and said while smiling "relax, I will give you a chance. First take care of those two for me" John said while walking towards the hotel. He wasn't bothered to know how Oscar will deal with them.
"Yes Mr Lewis" Oscar responded quickly.
When Oscar saw John leaving, he looked at the security guards who were already kneeling and begging and said fiercely to them "Next time learn not to provoke whom you shouldn't". Oscar turned and said to the guards that he brought with him and said "take them away, break their legs and throw them into the alley".
"Mr Oscar please forgive us and give us a chance"
"Yes yes, we promise to never do it again. Please give us a chance Mr Oscar"
They guards begged as they were being dragged away but Oscar turned a blind eye to them. Oscar composed himself and went back into the hotel.
This commotion has drew in the attention of the people in the hotel and they were wondering what John identity was to make Oscar so afraid of him.
When John returned to his suite, he took a bath, change into the hotel bathrobe, turned off his phone because he didn't want any disturbance and slept off.
It wasn't until 7 o'clock the next day that John got up all refreshed. When John got up he saw a man about in his thirties sitting and staring at him. John jumped up from his bed in shock.
