Face-Slapping System

Chapter 86 No Wonder, The Real Bigshot

At this point, even Stacey would have not expected for the restaurant's downfall to come that quick. She just texted a person and told her to investigate the shop's owner, so that she could buy the shop and then close it down as an act of revenge.

However, the person she texted was very dependable. She actually managed to accomplish Stacey's revenge in just an hour.

It was said that even a governor could be bribed when extreme wealth and power was combined.

The manager, Amy, as well as the other workers could only cry when the owner of the restaurant announced the restaurant's closure.

Now, they no longer have any job and the only money they have was a small compensation fee given by the previous owner to them.

How tragic. A woman's mistake caused a whole restaurant's downfall. At this time, none of them was even aware of the real situation, including Amy, who technically was the root of all this mess.

…

Going back to earlier, Roland and Stacey were enjoying the eat all you can Samgyupsal when Roland noticed the watch on Stacey's hand.

He looked at the watch on his wrist and could not help but think that they resembled a little. Only, Stacey's watch has a more slim design.

"Good watch, by the way!" He commented.

Stacey smiled hearing the compliment. The female version of Yatch-master finally arrived at her house a day ago. She was happy that Roland took notice of it easily.

"Yeah right? This is the female version of your Yatch-Master, don't the two of them look cute together?" She giggled as she put her wrist next to Roland.

Seeing such a scene, Roland nodded his head, agreeing with Stacey on that one. The two watches indeed looked cute together now that they were placed adjacent to each other.

"Oh right, when did you pierce your ears?" Stacey suddenly asked.

She had actually noticed the earring earlier but it was only now that she had the chance to ask him the question.

Hearing that, Roland was surprised a little bit by Stacey's sharp observation.

The Storage Earring was actually quite small. It was only slightly bigger than a ballpoint pen's dot. If one doesn't look closely, they would not even notice that there was an earring on his ears.

Janine also did not notice it earlier, hence, Roland was surprised that Stacey was able to spot it.

"Well, I got bored yesterday so I decided to pierce it with a needle," Roland stated calmly as he shoved a stripped pork meat towards his mouth.

Hearing that, a concerned look appeared in Stacey's eyes.

She read from an article before that teens who were experiencing depression tend to hurt themselves as a way to relieve their stress and also as a form of rebellion towards their parents.

Stacey was worried that Roland was still hung up on his ex, hence, he decided to hurt himself by piercing his ears.

"Roland, if you have any problems… You know you can say it to me right? I'm always here for you!" She said, her voice full of concern towards him.

Roland stared at her, not knowing where the conversation started.

In the end, he only nodded his head towards her, indicating that he understood.

"Well, just don't hurt yourself again right? If you want a shoulder to lean on, you can just call me and you know that I'll be there in an instant," Stacey was still worried about him so she just decided to leave this piece of message to him that she'll always be there for him.

Roland nodded his head as the two of them continued to eat.

With his increase in physique, Roland ate a lot. He was very suitable for an eat all you can restaurant like this as he would not lose out due to the increase of his appetite.

Seeing Roland devour meat after meat from the pot, Stacey could only smile happily. She could tell that Roland was enjoying the food, she could not help but feel happy for him too.

As they ate, Roland had already informed her about the plans this evening. He also told her to invite the new employees over so that they could have a simple gathering.

Roland also mentioned to her that he will be going out of town in two days to see the yacht in Brine City.

Roland also invited Stacey over so that they could enjoy the yacht together. And since that day would be Sunday, Stacey has no objection to it.

An hour later, Roland and Stacey left the establishment.

Stacey felt her Ay-phone 18 vibrate and when she took a look at it, she only saw a simple message that said, "It's settled, Miss!"

"Alright, good job!" Stacey replied calmly.

However, she was actually surprised by the other party's instantaneous actions. She thought that it would take at least a day or two, she did not expect for the matter to be settled in a mere hour after they left.

"Why are you smiling like that all of a sudden?" Roland asked, seeing Stacey's behavior.

Instead of replying, Stacey only handed the phone to Roland, allowing him to read the entire conversation.

***

Stacey: Carrol, you there? Investigate this restaurant's owner and try to acquire it as soon as possible using my savings. Shut it down after you do so!

(An hour later)

Carrol: It's settled, Miss.

Stacey: Alright, good job!

***

Seeing the entire conversation, Roland could not help but hissed in surprise.

"So, fierce?"

Roland was truly taken aback by the straightforward conversation.

As a popular restaurant in a commercial district, that restaurant was bound to be expensive. However, not only was Stacey and this Carrol able to acquire it easily, they even managed to do so in just an hour.

This matter no longer simply involved money, it also involved terrifying connections that could make the restaurant owner sell the property to them.

It was only at this moment that Roland caught a glimpse of Stacey's wealth.

Perhaps, his 2,534,086 Global Dollars was actually nothing in her eyes? And to think that he was acting high and mighty with just that kind of money.

No wonder she could afford that house in that place, no wonder she could afford an Ay-phone 18 easily. No wonder she also had the female version of the Yatch-Master which was quite rare. No wonder she could resign as she pleases on a big establishment like the mall.

It turns out that she's the real hidden bigshot.

Just what was her real identity? This thought suddenly crossed Roland's mind as he stared at Stacey' pretty face intently.

It was at this moment that Roland realized that he had caught a big fish.

And to think that some people think that Stacey was only giving him attention due to his 'wealth', if they knew her real wealth, would they still dare to say the same?

Heck, Roland might even be labeled as gold-digger if that's the case.

And besides, who was this Carrol?

"Who is this Carrol?" Roland did not hold back his curiosity.

"Oh, she's basically the person who took care of me since I was young. She's like my personal maid."
