The receptionist said with an apologetic expression, “Sir, I’m so sorry, all our suites on the seventh floor are fully booked. We’ve checked, but the only available suites for your membership level are on the third floor and below. Would you like us to prepare a suite for you on the third floor?”
Jake hissed irritably, “What? Are you serious? You want me to go to the third floor? This is a disgrace to my status and my membership! How will others think of me if I go to the third floor?”
“I’m very sorry, sir, but there’s nothing I can do. All the suites on the fourth to the seventh floors have been reserved in advance. You did not make any reservation, so, our hands are tied…”
“If so, just give me a free upgrade and let me go to the eighth floor or above!”
“I’m sorry, sir,” the receptionist said in a polite yet firm tone, “At the Glorious Club, we only allow downgrade service for the membership tier, but not upgrade. That is to say, if the ceiling of your Silver card membership only reaches the seventh floor, that means you can only use the facilities from the seventh floor and below, but nothing above the seventh floor. This is the rigid rule of our club!”
Jake frowned and huffed in annoyance as he shouted, “I don’t care! Get me a room on the seventh floor, or find a way for me to use the eighth floor’s suite!”
“I’m very sorry, sir, the eighth floor is reserved for the VIP and VIP Gold members. Unfortunately, your membership is not qualified to use that floor. Besides, we have clearly stipulated here that no one can skip the tier or upgrade their suite…”
“Stipulate, rules, the fuck with that! I want a suite on the seventh floor right now! How dare you refuse my demand? Don’t you know the customer is king?!”
“I am so sorry, sir, but I’m not allowed to do so. Maybe you can find a friend who has a higher-tier membership and get him or her to book a suite on the higher floor.”
Jake arched his eyebrow, intrigued, “Find a friend, you say?”
“Yes,” the receptionist replied politely, “Most of our members here are Classic and Silver members, that’s why there is always a shortage of suites below the seventh floor, but there are plenty of vacant suites on the eighth to the fourteenth floor. If your friend is a VIP member, you can go up to the tenth floor. If he is a VIP Gold member, you can go up to the fourteenth floor.”
Jake gritted his teeth in disdain and sneered, “Alright, then. You want me to find a friend, huh? I’ll find a friend! To tell you the truth, Don Albert and I are great buddies. He is a VIP member! I’m going to call him right now and ask him to reserve a suite for me! But you’d better think carefully about how you explain yourself to Don Albert for offending his friend!”
Charlie rolled his eyes in utter disgust as he watched this bizarre scene.
The poor girl was just a receptionist who was doing everything per the rules of the club. Why did you threaten her? Besides, you used Don Albert’s name as your shield! What were you, a coward fox who hid behind the devilish tiger?
So, he walked up and said to him, “Mr. Dunn, leave the poor girl alone, okay? She is just doing her job. Besides, the third floor is good enough. Even the first floor is already very luxurious. Why do we need to go up to the seventh floor or above?”
Jake rolled his eyes in disdain. “Shut up! For a loser like you, it is already a God-sent privilege to drink a glass of water in the club’s lobby, but for someone of my status, anything below the seventh floor is an insult to me!”
Charlie chuckled and said indifferently, “Well, it doesn’t matter anyway. This is the last time you’ll be able to come to the club, so just enjoy whatever you can.”
Jake frowned in confusion. “What the heck do you mean by that?”
“Oh, did you forget what I told you? You’ll be working on the construction site for the next 20 years. This is your last time being in the Glorious Club, so a suite on the third floor is as good as you can get now. After all, you won’t be able to enjoy any of this after today.”
Jake was furious and cursed, “Charlie Wade, was it? Damn it, you fucking loser! If it weren’t for the fact that our fathers-in-law are classmates, do you think you can get into the club? I bet you can’t even enter their entrance, for fucks sake! Who do you think you are to be so cocky?”
Charlie smiled faintly. “Well, I’ll give you five minutes to make up your mind. When five minutes is up and you don’t give me any answer, I’ll decide for you.”
Jake smirked, “What the hell? What decision? Who do you think you are, loser? Alright, I’ll show you what it’s like to be in the upper-class society!”
He took out his phone and immediately made a call.
When his call was answered, he changed into a flattering tone and said respectfully, “Hi, Don Albert, it’s me, Jake Dunn. I want to ask you for a favor…”
