Chapter 78
Upon hearing what the lady just said Ethan's jaw dropped, his eyes widened with disbelief.
'I can't believe this lady! She won't even let me get a word in or even try to listen to what I have to say, but she just shut me up'
Ethan thought, his mind reeling as he gaze at the lady disgusting.
However the lady didn't even look at Ethan's direction, she continued her conversation with the client she came out with.
Not long after the senior woman finished her chat with the big shot client and gaze at Ethan disgustingly.
her face then twisted in a scowl she finally get a better view of the kid.
"Let me make this crystal clear for you to understand me clearly." she said, her voice dripping with disdain.
"There. Are. No. Jobs. Here."
She punctuated each word with a jab of her perfectly manicured finger.
"You need to leave here quickly."
At that moment Ethan's face flushed red, his anger started bubbling up like a volcano, he couldn't believe she just judged him by his looks, she didn't even give him a chance to speak and she just want him gone.
"Jobs?"
he sputtered, his fists clenched so tight his knuckles started turning white.
"Who said anything about jobs? I'm here to buy a property! not look for a job."
Upon hearing what Ethan just said The two junior ladies who were chatting with Ethan earlier looked at each other, with a confused look written all over their faces.
"Hold up."
One of them said, turning to Ethan. "Did you just say 'buy'? You want to buy a property here, we thought you wanted to rent an apartment."
At that moment the senior lady couldn't stand Ethan's attitude anymore.
She marched to the group, her eyebrows raised so high they nearly disappeared into her hairline.
"Are you two blind as bats?"
she scoffed, giving Ethan a look that would kill.
"Does this scrawny little punk look like he can afford to rent an apartment in this neighborhood, to even think of him actually buying?"
She gestured to Ethan's clothes, a sneer curling her lips.
"Those rags aren't even worth a crisp Benjamin, it's not even worth 100 dollars. How can a broke college brat swing rents from $6k to $15k?."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
She shook her head in disappointment.
"I thought both of you know what you're doing after employing both of you four months ago, but you still can't differentiates before serious clients and noise makers"
At that moment The two junior ladies' faces morphed from confusion to anger, their eyes narrowing into slits they couldn't believe they almost wasted their time on the fool.
However one of them couldn't stand the anger growing inside her anymore, she said.
"You little con artist!"
they hissed, their voices rising with each word.
"You thought you could play us right!"
Ethan at that moment couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment. He couldn't believe he was have some soft spot for the two ladies earlier thinking they weren't looking down on him, but it turned out to be all of them are bird's of the same feathers, these two are just learning how to fly.
The top client the senior lady was assisting earlier decided to step forward, looking down his nose at Ethan.
"Listen up, young buck,"
he said, his tone dripping with rudeness.
"Do you honestly believe you've got the means to purchase a property here?"
He gaze at Ethan from head to toe and he could tell the lady was right, Ethan looked like a university student, and there's no way he can afford anything here, and he hate it when a young kid who is supposed to be in school learning start misbehaving, he doesn't take it lightly with them.
Then he launched into a bragging spiel about his own career and income.
"I'm a smart one you know. When I made the decision to buy a property here, I started saving 25 percent of my paycheck to get the property I just bought. And you know what? Dropping that cash doesn't even faze me now, because I'm still saving my hard-earned dough."
At that moment the man leaned in close to Ethan, his breath reeking of expensive cigars.
"Here's some free advice, kid. Hit those books hard and listen to your teachers. Then maybe, just maybe, you'll land a decent job. If you're lucky and mother luck shines on you, maybe you might get a decent job."
He let out a barking laugh, his eyes glinting with malice.
"However we all know only the top one percent of you university brats will score a job that pays as well as mine. And with your attitude? I wouldn't bet on you saving a single red cent. You'd probably blow it all on cheap thrills, pretending to be millionaire just like you're doing now"
The senior woman and the rest of the staff erupted into laughter,
their cackles started echoing off the walls.
Ethan's blood started boiling at that moment, his vision started turning red.
"I'll show them, since they think they know it all"
he said to himself, his jaw clenched so tight he thought his teeth might shatter.
"I'll show them all."
In the midst of their mocking laughter, Ethan slammed his feet on the ground with a resounding boom. The scene fell silent instantly, as if someone had hit the mute button on the universe.
At that moment all of them gaze at Ethan.
Ethan rose to his full height as he faced the man, his eyes blazing with a fire that could melt steel.
"since you claim to know it all and you just judged me with that."
he said, his voice low and dangerous.
"I dare any of you — no, I double-dog dare you — to make a bet with me right here, right now. I bet I can afford the most expensive house in the first unit of this ritzy estate."
He looked around the scene.
"Put your money where your mouth is, unless you're all talk and no action to back it up."
