Chapter 55
Johnson and Kuhn’s faces froze. They stood still like two figurines. Even Liam was surprised and only regained composure after a few seconds. He hurriedly held out his hand to shake Jason’s hand. “Mr. Queen, you are too humble. We too have just recently arrived.” In his mind, Liam was absolutely shocked. Jason had walked right past the Ziglers to greet them!
This was something that none of them expected. It seemed like Jason couldn’t be bothered to meet up with the Ziglers. Although Liam was unsure about what was happening, he understood that he should just go along with the flow.
“Mr. Queen….” Johnson was now trembling. It wasn’t clear if the trembling was due to anger, fear, or other factors.
Jason turned his head around and asked, “is there anything I can help you two gentlemen
with?”
Johnson was totally shocked. Kuhn intercepted upon seeing what had just happened. He smiled. “Mr. Queen, did we not have an agreement to meet up tonight?” “Oh! A meet-up tonight, right? Isn’t this a meet-up? Since we have met each other, I suggest you go along with your own business. I still have to accompany the Wolfendens for dinner tonight.”
Jason no longer interacted with them. Instead, he turned around and addressed Liam, “Mr. Wolfenden, I have a room booked. How about we shift our conversation there?”
Liam’s smile spanned from one cheek to the other. He looked toward the Ziglers and gave them a meaningful stare. Sadie also gave them a meaningful glance before holding her head up high and joining Jason.
Meanwhile, Kayson tagged along behind like a nobody.
This was a direct insinuation against the Ziglers. Only when they entered the lift did Johnson’s face suddenly change. He then made a scene. “What the f*ck just happened!?” He was so angry that he was trembling all over. “Jason Queen! Does he think he can f*ck around with us!?”
Kuhn also appeared to be in a stupor. “I-I don’t know. Dad, Mr. Gillete will be meeting up with us soon. How will we explain this incident to him?
“We already told him that we had arranged for him to meet Mr. Queen for dinner! Now that it cannot be realized, Mr. Gillete will definitely be angry.”
The father and son would not be able to take on Wilson’s wrath. How would they continue to survive in Clouspring?
They couldn’t afford to offend Wilson. However, they couldn’t afford to offend Jason either!
It was then that a middle-aged man entered the hotel and walked towards the Ziglers. “Mr. Johnson Zigler, Mr. Kuhn Zigler! Nice to meet you!” Wilson was still unaware of the developments that had just occurred. There was a big smile on his face, and his attitude was way more polite than it should have been.
