Chapter 5 Becca's Taunts

There was a silent stand-off between Ethan and Becca, alongside the men and women by her side. Ethan took a glance at them, his mouth twitching slightly, after a while, she turned around facing the receptionist. “How dare you ignore me?” Becca’s angry voice came just as Ethan turned around. “And what do you expect me to do?” Ethan’s mouth curled up into a smirk as he looked at Becca. “Kneel and greet you? Cause I don’t know what you are expecting from me.” He continued, and the smile on his face widened. “How dare you…” Becca gritted her teeth pointing at Ethan. Her face turned green from embarrassment. “Let me let you know something you don’t know.” Becca sneered, continuing after a while as it seemed like she regained her confidence. “You are at the bottom of the food chain while I am at the top. It's only right that you do what is due because you are not supposed to be here in the first place.” She said with a sneer and then folded her hands as if waiting on the said due. “Besides, me and you are not from the same world, so you shouldn’t even think of getting back with me.” She added. At her words, Ethan chuckled and he looked around to see there were eyes on them. But he couldn’t care less about it. It was none of his business in the first place, they were free to think all they wanted to think, and he wouldn’t care. “Look at that man over there. He is Ray Bastien.” Becca continued pointing at the man she came with and a look of pride appeared in her eyes. “With one snap of his fingers, he will get you out of here and make your life miserable. I dumped you for someone better, so you should not feel too bad.” She proclaimed, and an arrogant smile appeared at the corner of her lips. “So he’s your new man, huh?” Ethan raised his brows looking at the person she was pointing at. “Yes, do you have any problem with it?” Becca sneered, feeling rather displeased with Ehan. “No, I don’t.” Ethan burst out into laughter looking at the man. “You went for this pig in a human form and yet you’re asking me if I have a problem with it. Why would I have a problem with what you've chosen?” Ethan let out a chuckle as he looked at the man. The man was a man with a round face and he was very ordinary. Apart from that, he was so fat and his stomach was bulging as he thought he was pregnant. Ethan wondered what he would look like if he was running. Thinking Like this, he burst out into laughter once more. There was no way he could hold it in. Becca’s face turned red from anger watching Ethan laugh at her new boyfriend and she couldn't help but blurt out, “Are you blind? Can't you see he is richer and better? You could only afford to give me a few hundred dollars every month but he gives me ten times that amount. So what if he looks like a pig.” “Ohh, you've finally accepted that he looks like a pig. I admire your courage.” Ethan mocked as he let out another round of chortle. “How dare you?” The man roared glaring at Ethan with a murderous look in his eyes. “Alright chill, you should know that I am simply telling the truth, I’m not the kind of person that likes to lie, so that’s just the truth.” Ethan shrugged, not caring about the man’s expression. “You have quite the guts, talking to me the way you want, I admire your courage.” Ray, the man sneered. “What else were you expecting me to have? Kidney or what?” Ethan retorted the smile on his face widened with each second. “You were right about him, honey.” Ray turned to Becca and said with a slight smile on his face. “He’s such an arrogant bastard who doesn’t know his place, I wonder what he came to do.” Becca nodded in agreement and turned to look at Ethan. “And you, what are you doing here? Looking for a sugar mummy? Do you want to book a room to taste some minutes of luxury in your life?” Becca asked with a mocking tone and they all burst out laughing. “Maybe we could help you.” She added with a sneer. “Yes, she is right. You know I could help you get a free room here. As long as you agree to run some errands for me.” Ray spoke up with a wicked light in his eyes as he was already imagining what he could do to Ethan. He already hated Ethan to the core at this moment and wished for nothing else but to beat up the latter as he was too arrogant. “I know the owner of this hotel,” Ray sneered, feeling smug. “Seriously?” Ethan’s mouth curled up into a smile looking at Ray. He was the owner of the hotel, so how come he didn’t know him? “Well, I don’t know someone like you.” Ethan continued with a smile on his face. The next moment, everyone burst out into laughter hearing what Ethan said, who the heck did he think he was? “Do you think you could ever own a place like this?” Becca sneered. “Let me tell you, apart from that, he has been given a ninety percent discount on everything. So you can just tell me if your sorry ass is hungry, then I might be willing to get something for you.” She added. “Really” Ethan’s mouth curled up into a smile as he looked at Becca. “Where the heck did you get a discount?” A voice boomed through the lobby just as Ethan was about to continue.
