Beyond the Divorce

Provoking the Crowd

My statement surprised everyone, including Liora, I knew she didn’t expect me to be confrontational. She paused and stared at me but remained silent.

The receptionist who attended to me first said smilingly, “Don’t worry, Miss. Let me check how much longer it’ll take for your room to be ready.”

“Oh, I’m not in a hurry. Since I’m here, I’ll wait patiently like everyone else. Discussing special treatment for members is unfair, right?” I deliberately provoked the crowd to draw their resentment. After all,

Eleanor and I weren’t the only ones waiting.

The others also voiced their frustrations. Those who didn’t respond to Liora’s earlier words were equally

unhappy with the situation but chose not to express it. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

One displeased lady added, “That’s right, I want to know the difference between all members here, too.”

The receptionist awkwardly replied, “Of course, they’re different, Miss. You’re a regular here, and I wasn’t

talking about you.”

“Oh, so you directed your words at me?” I smiled at the receptionist.

Liora grew impatient. “What? Is it fun to make things difficult for a receptionist?”

“Not at all,” I responded, then turned to everyone with a smile. “Didn’t I just witness someone making a fuss and accusing the receptionist? Was that fun?”

The displeased lady added, “Who cares if it’s fun? Didn’t you see how humble she looked earlier?”

The receptionist was flustered. “This is how we do things here. Regular customers have special privileges. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have different membership levels, such as Regular, Silver, and Gold

members.

“You won’t receive the same treatment as a Gold member if you can’t afford that membership level. Even if you have complaints, we can do nothing about it. Don’t be pretentious if you can’t afford it.”

at are you saying? Her words caused an uproar from the other regular customers.

Can’t you speak politely? We’re here to relax! What’s this about being pretentious?”

“Some people are arrogant, barking orders as soon as they arrive. I want to speak to your boss! We want

do cancel our memberships We came here to relax, not to be trampled upon!”

receptionist who had served us looked anxious, trying to calm everyone

“We’ve been waiting so long, yet you tell us to be patient? Which woman called us filthy just now? How

can she be so arrogant?!”

“She’s right. Those who often talk about others being dirty are hypocrites. It takes one to know one!”

“Such poor customer service. I shouldn’t have wasted my money here. Are we here to relax or to be

insulted?”

Liora’s friends weren’t pleased and started arguing with those who had spoken up. Meanwhile, Eleanor

raised an eyebrow when she saw me smirking.

As the situation escalated, the receptionist who served us became frightened. She turned and rushed

inside to inform her superior.
