Chapter 18. Jealousy

Chapter 18. Jealousy

"Nonsense! He is the boss in Sheraton!" yelled the man.

Bang!

Leon kicked the fat man and stepped his right foot on the man's chest.

The two girls screamed at what they saw.

They could not help him. One of them is the man's girlfriend, as seen

from her fearful expression.

"I'm telling you. You have no right to shout at me. Your uncle is just the

general manager who works for the true owner of this hotel. That makes

him an employee."

He is not wrong. Even though Sebastian runs the hotel, the hotel is his.

After saying that, Leon lifted his foot and left the man as he is.

Leon willed that from this day onwards, the attitude of Sebastian and his

family must be disciplined.

The arrogant nephew's attitude will affect the hotel's reputation. Leon

changed his clothes and went to the hotel lobby.

When he sat in the lobby, he saw Gerald and Jason walking towards him.

"Leon, what have you done? You beat up my cousin. What do you

want?" After Gerald heard his cousin getting beaten up, he rushed to the bath and

found out Leon did it. Unfortunately, he had no idea who Leon indeed

was.

Back on campus, Leon was a nobody. But it's different now. A few days

ago, Gerald and Jason were beaten up at the karaoke. And today is his

cousin's turn.

Jason seemed to have recovered. He stood loyally by Gerald's side like a

dog to his master. Looking at Leon's position, Jason has found his

confidence. Here he is the lobby manager of the Sheraton Hotel.

"Have you tried the hot water bath? Should I send some to your house?"

Jason said tauntingly.

Leon didn't care; he responded with a smile.

"Do you also need food? No problem. I'll have it sent to you. I'm the

lobby manager here. I can give you such privileges." Jason said.

"Oh really? That's great!". Pride and wealth seem so crucial to him.

All he does is manage the lobby area. He shouldn't have bragged if only

he knew who Leon truly is.

"Are you jealous? With Gerald my future looks bright, my friend. What

a great choice I've made!". Jason laughed as he said it. He is obviously

trying to gain from his master.

Leon let out a small laugh at what he heard.

What Jason did was utterly foolish. Suppose Jason didn't betray Leon,

maybe he could hold an important position in one of the Wijaya family's

companies in the future. At least, he could be the CEO of this hotel. Gerald likes people with Jason's foolish attitude. Throw him a bone, and

he will kneel.

"Jason, take care of that dog!"

Gerald takes joy from seeing Leon humiliated and hurt. Jason

relentlessly attacked Leon verbally.

Leon took it calmly and held his laughter. Gerald was too naïve to think

the hotel was his.

"Gerald, are you treating the hotel as if it's yours? Think about the

consequences. Even your father relies on me to put food on the table. Be

careful!"

"And you, Jason! How stupid of you to betray me. That will be your

life's greatest regret.". What Leon said attracted attention from the

people around them. The room became silent. Leon's aura appeared full

of charisma. Gerald and Jason were silenced.

Unfortunately, Gerald didn't realize the weight of Leon's words. He

lashed back angrily, "Son of a *! My father is a respected man. How dare

you say that!"

"Sir, he is only filled with jealousy. Let me clean this up." said Jason,

who then called the security guards.

"Security! Drag him out and beat him up!"

Jason is a disgusting traitor. Leon was forced to reveal his identity; let

Gerald and Jason pay a heavy price for their behavior. A deep voice was suddenly heard just before the guards arrived. "All of

you, please stop!"

The familiar voice was that of Grandfather Indra.

Indra is about to move into his new villa today. He and his granddaughter

were on their way out, dragging their suitcases.

Gerald's arrogance melted away from his face.

"Mr Indra, good morning!" he greeted the old man respectfully.

Indra is very well-known in Oregon due to his vast connections.

"Leon is a good friend of mine. Don't embarrass him. He is my friend!"

Indra said softly.

Gerald was surprised at what he heard. How does a person with such

authority as Indra be friends with a kid like Leon?

Confusion, curiosity, and astonishment raged in Gerald's brain.

"I will because Mr Indra asked me. Thus, I will obey," said Gerald with

a sly smile.

Gerald pulled Jason away and left Leon. Jason was unsatisfied.

"Is this the ending Sir?"

Gerald tried to explain. "Indra is a great businessman in Oregon. He is an

important and popular man. I can't fight him.".

"Leon is really lucky today!" Jason said sarcastically. "I can't believe Indra has a good relationship with Leon. Most probably

over something unimportant." Gerald said condescendingly.

"Sir, you are right. I knew what Leon was like after spending four years

with him. He is nothing special." Jason supported. "What is your next

plan, Sir?"

Gerald moved his head close to Jason's ear. "Jason here. Later…". He

whispered for some time.

Jason nodded in agreement and let out an evil laugh.

"I will do that Sir. We'll see a lot of Leon's blood getting spilled!"

In fact, even without Indra's help, Leon had his own way of taking care

of Gerald and Jason. He could destroy the two and make them regret

their deeds at once.

But Leon politely thanked Indra.

"Leon, if you ever need anything just call me. I'm moving to Mount

Muare where I intended to give you a villa. Too bad you refused.

Otherwise, we'll be neighbors and it'll be easier for us to communicate."

Indra said
