Chapter 7

"You did it intentionally. It was one of my favourite dresses. You are useless as a server. Who took you in for the job when you don't even know how to talk with your customers? You walk around this place as if you own it. You insulted me five minutes ago when it was you who bumped into me but that was not enough for you. Right? So you intentionally splashed lemonade on me."

"It's not what you are thinking madam." He tried to say but Aurora didn't let him finish this time.

"It is exactly what I am thinking. You know what, call your manager here. I want you out of this place. You are not fit to be a server Mr." She yelled at him.

"Aurora...people are watching us," Susan said, jerking her hand. Aurora snatched it away from her, "let people see for all I care," she said in anger.

"Look miss, I can pay you for your dress." He said calmly.

Aurora was enraged seeing him calm and composed as if he had not just ruined her dress and instead of asking for an apology he was showing her money.

"Really? Instead of apologizing to me, you are showing off your money!! Don't show off, you don't know me Mr."

With all the sound a man wearing a black suit came out. He frowned when he saw us and ran to us. "Is there any issue, Miss?" He asked.

"No, there is no issue…" Gabriel said but Aurora cut him off.

"Yes, there is. You need to fire this man right now. He ruined my dress and insulted me. If you don't want me to sue your restaurant then fire him," she told the manager, crossing her hands to her chest.

"Madam…" the manager stuttered.

"Look Mr," she glanced at the batch on his coat. "Yes, Mr Cameron. If you don't want me to call the owner of this place and order him to fire you both then fire this man right now."

"Enough! Go and call the owner of this place, Miss…" Gabriel said without any hint of fear of losing his job.

"Aurora calm down!" Susan tried to speak but Aurora raised her hand to stop her.

"I am handling it, Susie," then she turned to Gabriel once again. "Yes, I will do the same. And your boss will fire you both," she told him and asked the manager to call the owner there.

"Madam, he is the owner of this restaurant." The manager said, pointing at Gabriel. Aurora gasped, smacking her hands to her lips.

What the f**k!!! That server was the owner.

She looked at the server, flabbergasted. "I…I didn't know that you are the owner of this place…"

He arched his brows. "And what difference does it make, Miss? Would you have treated me differently if I had told you about my identity here? If yes, then I am glad I didn't tell you about myself at least I came to know what kind of person you are!"

Her eyes widened at his words. "Excuse me but now you are being rude. How dare you talk to me in this manner!!"

"Miss, that's how you have been talking to me all this time, do you see how rude you were to me? And why because I was just a mere server and now when you come to know about my real identity you changed your tone. This shows how low you think of people around you," He snapped. "You are nothing but a rich snob."

He scolded Aurora who stood there like a statue. Her throat felt heavy at his words. Never in her life had she felt this humiliated.

When Susan saw Aurora's face she knew Aurora was about to cry. She couldn't tolerate his lecture anymore.

"Look Mr, it was you who called my friend a fool first, so stop preaching to us."

Gabriel sighed, "I think when that happened you were not present there to verdict my actions miss. But if I hurt you with my words, I apologize again, enjoy your food."

He turned to his manager who was standing there. "Serve them whatever else they want but don't charge them anything." He looked at Aurora then, "I hope it will compensate for your dress and if it still doesn't do that then my manager is here, ask him whatever amount for this dress. He will pay you," Saying that he walked away to his office.

"Madam, do you need anything else?" The manager asked Aurora.

Tears pooled in Aurora's eyes. "No!" She whispered.

"Your bill is around a hundred dollars. Is it enough for the compensation of your dress or do I need to pay you more?" He asked.

Aurora didn't bother with a reply. Emily touched her back in a comforting manner.

"We don't need any money from you." Susan snapped at the manager and took both their handbags from the table.

Aurora gulped. Susan held her hand and started walking outside. She opened the door of their car and helped Aurora inside and started the engine.

Aurora couldn't get his words out of her mind.

Was I rude to him? No one had ever talked to me in this

manner let alone scolded me.

"Aurora?" She heard Susan calling her name, Aurora didn't say anything. Her mind was fixed on Gabriel's words.

Do I really think so low of people around me? Was I one of those rich snobs who think so low of less rich people?

"Aurora? Are you alright?" This time Emily asked worriedly.

Aurora wiped her tears. "Holy F**k! Aurora kings, are you crying?" Susan asked bewildered and stopped the car unexpectedly. People cursed her, horns sounded wildly around us.

"Hey! Don't you know how to drive??" A man barked from his car window.

Susan gave him a middle finger.

"Susan…" Aurora jerked her hand inside the car and apologized to the man.
