CHAPTER 456 BEING MOCKED

As soon as Irene finished, the room fell into dead silence.

Both Ruben and Jemima were fixing their eyes on Irene, stunned by what she said.

Meanwhile, Irene looked complacent with her jaw lifting high while looking at them from above in a

patronizing way.

Seeing that, Leo seemed speechless.

Obviously, she was showing them how excellent she appeared.

Besides, she was venting out all her grievance she just suffered at the gate of the hotel.

Still, Ruben and Jemima were staring at her blankly. But then they suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahaha…” seeing that, Irene fell into a short pause and then questioned madly, “What are you

laughing at?”

“Did she just claim herself to be the vice president of Atlas? God, what a joke!”

“Come on, why don’t you literally claim yourself to be the president?”

“Hey, Irene, we haven’t met for a long time ever since we graduated, but it never occurs to us that you

are actually so gifted in bragging about yourself despite your humble current status!” Ruben laughed

out loud.

Jemima’s crazy laughter even brought some tears in her eyes.

Irene refuted, “But I really am! I am the VP of Atlas!”

“Oh really? Who is gonna prove that for you?”

Ruben felt like watching a joke, “Irene, do you have any idea about what it means for being the VP of

Atlas? It means wealth and fame! If you were the VP of Atlas, we should have heard of it long ago. But

why did we know nothing about it?”

“Yeah, the only VP of Atlas I have ever heard of is a lady named Sophia Walsh. She has been to

Hopkins a few days ago and I was lucky enough to enjoy the honor to have a drink with her. But I didn’t

get her number. What a pity!” said Jemima.

Hearing that, Leo just shook his head.

Among the three VPs of Atlas, Irene had been keeping a low profile and she wasn’t a person good at

dealing with social occasions. Besides, she always wired every penny she earned to provide for her

family.

But these people in the room simply denied it.

“I can prove that for her!”

Caroline suddenly yelled loud while staring at Ruben and Jemima with disdain.

Both of them shifted their gaze and stared at her. Then their laughter sounded again.

“Another brag!”

“Hey, man, I got a suggestion for you. Stop hooking up with girls with pretty face only. You know what.

Intelligence also matters. Look at my girl, she’s a brilliant one.” Ruben smiled at Leo.

But Leo only replied with a smile. He still continued with the food.

Now he couldn’t help growing a sense of sympathy for both of them.

They were too pathetic to know the truth.

If they learned that Irene was the VP of Atlas while his wife was the boss, what was more, he actually

owned J Group at the same time, they would definitely pass out because of shock.

Seeing the silence of Leo, Ruben turned to look at Irene, “Hey, after all, we were classmates. Here is

my advice for you. Learn to utilize your charm to hook up with a richer man.”

“Mind your own business!” Irene huffed madly. Since they wouldn’t believe that she was the VP of

Atlas, she no longer insisted to convince them.

Now she just wanted to finish the meal and left as soon as possible.

Of course, Ruben also noticed her intention to leave. After some consideration, he suggested,

“Jemima, I don’t find it necessary to waste our time here. Honey, why don’t we leave now?”

“Okay.” Jemima agreed.

Leo stood up, “Alright then, let’s go.”

Irene took a look at the dishes left intact on the table, feeling upset if they were wasted, while most of

which seemed quite delicious. So she beckoned a waitress over, “Could you please pack up the food?”

But it was that manageress who came in. She cast a disdainful look at Irene, “Sorry, Miss Garcia, we

don’t provide that service.”

Hearing that, Irene just smiled to reply, “Okay, if so, we would like to sit down and finish more.”

Suddenly, Jemima’s laughter sounded again from the door.

“What a joke! Hey, Ruben, I have never expected that you were actually having a crush on a bumpkin

girl back then!” Jemima pointed at Irene with a mocking tone, “Can you believe that the VP of Atlas

loves to bring leftover back home for food? How hilarious!”

“Sweetheart, come on, you don’t need to say so even though that’s the truth. Save some dignity for the

‘VP’.” Ruben echoed.

They continued the provocation against Irene, which exasperated her greatly.

Meanwhile, Leo was getting annoyed.

Wasting food should be something to be ashamed of. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

But they were actually making fun of Irene just because she wanted to bring food home.

“I still remember there is a rule in J Group—Never waste food. Are you doing the same thing in the

canteen of your workplace?” Leo stared at them coldly.

Both of them paused, looking a bit surprised. Then they soon realized that they did tell the truth that

they were working in J Group while talking during the meal just now.

But they just responded with a disdainful look, “So what? It’s none of your business.”

Leo suddenly sneered, “Well, it seems that you have been used to it, huh? Aren’t you afraid you both

will be fired if your president knows about that?”

Hearing that, they only replied with greater laughter.

“Do you ever know about the name of the president? Come on, stop bragging.” Jemima raised her

head to say proudly.

“Listen, the president comes from the same family of mine! Whoever he is gonna fire, it will never be

me! Do you understand?”

Then Leo took out his phone to dial Alan’s number.

“Hey, there are two staffs of yours making troubles in front of me. Come over here and get it fixed right

now. If you fail me this time, I will have Justin to take your position and you should get back to

Emerdale!”

Hearing that, both Ruben and Jemima paused for a while.

Then they started to grow more contempt.

“I thought Irene was the only one good at bragging. Now I see, you actually brag better than she does.

What a match!”

“You know our president? Come on, we haven’t even seen him in person. And you just said you want

him to come right now?”

Neither of them believed what Leo just said.

But both Irene and Caroline didn’t know that Alan was actually the one running J Group. So they looked

worried at the same time.

“Leo, stop.” Awkward, Caroline then said to the manageress, “Just forget about it. We don’t want the

food right now.”

But Ruben and Jemima both noticed the way Caroline addressed Leo. They appeared surprised.

“Your name is Leo?”

Then Ruben’s phone rang. It was a call from stranger.

“Hey, who is it?” he picked it up.

“Ruben, how dare you offend Mr. Cohen! Get down on your knees and apologize to him and his friends

right now!” Alan shouted with rage.

After a short pause, Ruben shouted back, “Who the hell are you? You ask me to get down on my knees

to apologize?”

“I am the president of J Group, Alan Watts!”

Hearing that, Ruben laughed out, “If you were Alan Watts, I would be Caleb Grant!”
