Chapter 69
After Charles finished speaking, he couldn't help but start laughing.
The others echoed, and for a moment the hotel was filled with laughter and joy.
Forrest was stunned. He didn't smile and suddenly had a strange feeling. "Charles, where is this
person you're talking about?"
Charles pointed at a man, "That's the guy."
Forrest looked in the direction and suddenly saw a man dressed in ordinary clothes. He crossed his
legs and sat on a chair eating melon seeds. There was no one around him. He was isolated and looked
lonely.
However, he did not seem to be embarrassed because of it. Instead, he had a casual smile on his face,
looked relaxed.
When he saw the man clearly, Forrest was shocked and his eyes widened, and an incredible look
appeared on his face.
Wasn't this the chairman of ZQ who he had just met two days ago? Why was he here?
Forrest couldn't believe it. His first reaction was that he mistook it. How could such a powerful person
mingle with these ordinary people?
The manager next to him also saw Tom. He was shocked as well. Just like Forrest, they all saw the
disbelief in each other's eyes.
Then came the surprise, then the fright, uneasiness, and various complicated feelings.
They were now sure that the person sitting there eating melon seeds was the chairman of ZQ, but they
could not figure out why he would be there. Was it a coincidence or he intended to do this?
For a moment, they were extremely nervous and uneasy.
When the crowd saw Forrest and the manager's expressions changing, they thought Forrest was
angry. Charles hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "I'm just kidding. He's a psycho, you don't have to
care about him."
Forrest ignored Charles and whispered to his manager, Ms Gomez. "Ms Gomez, what should we do
now?"
Ms Gomez smiled bitterly and said, "What else can we do? We have seen him, so we had to greet him!
I hope this is just an encounter..."
Suddenly, Ms Gomez thought of something and said with her bright eyes, "It should be an encounter. It
seems that he is very low-key, and these people here do not know his identity. We must show a
respectful and humble posture to cooperate with him for a turnover! If we operate well, maybe we can
successfully make a breakthrough and sign with his company!"
Hearing Ms Gomez's words, Forrest was also excited. He nodded quickly, adjusted his expression, and
then walked quickly to Tom.
"Hey, Forrest?" Charles was stunned and hurried to catch him up.
Everyone else gloated and thought that Forrest must be angry and wanted to trouble Tom.
"Phoebe's husband is going to be unlucky, haha!"
"Trouble comes from the mouth. I don't even understand why Phoebe should be with such a fool."
"He's obviously a fool so that he could say such things. Now he's in big trouble."
"Wait, there's going to be a good show soon."
As they spoke, they followed Forrest.
At this moment, Forrest walked up to Tom and took a deep breath. Then, he made an action that
surprised everyone.
Forrest stood up straight and bowed 90 degrees to Tom. He called out in reverence and awe,
"Chairman, the last time it was my fault. I'm blind and offended you. I hope could forgive me and let me
go."
Forrest said this sincerely. His eyes were red, and his attitude was extremely sincere and pleading. He
was completely devoid of the coldness and arrogance that others had set him up. If Tom still refused to
forgive him, he would kneel down without hesitation. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
The whole room suddenly quieted down strangely, and the drop of needles could be heard.
Everyone was stunned, and their minds went blank for a short time. They couldn't believe that. Forrest
actually bowed respectfully to Phoebe's husband and begged for forgiveness? What was going on?
Didn't he say that Phoebe's husband was a useless man who couldn't even find a job?
What a confusing thing!
Charles, in particular, was completely stunned. His mind was in a mess and he could not understand
why such a thing happened. It was so unreal!
Ms Gomez, the manager at the side, also hurriedly bowed and said humbly, "Chairman..."
"Call me Mr. Howard." Tom interrupted her.
Ms Gomez quickly changed her words, "Mr. Howard, we were wrong about what happened last time.
We shouldn't do that. We shouldn't offend you. I hope you can let us go, okay?"
Tom looked up at them and smiled, then said to Forrest. "I heard you're here to sing?"
Seeing Tom's smile, Forrest relaxed and said quickly, "Yes, yes, I'm here to sing this time. Mr. Howard,
do you have any instructions?"
Tom said, "Then you just sing your song."
"Okay, okay!" Forrest asked tentatively, "Then chairman, have you forgiven..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ms Gomez immediately pushed him and gave him a look. Forrest's
expression restrained and did not dare to ask any more questions.
It was only then that so many people present came back to their senses. They finally realized that what
had just happened was true, not an illusion!
For a moment, they were speechless and looked at Tom in shock.
No matter how stupid they were, they realized that Tom was definitely not trash, but a big shot!
Otherwise, a superstar like Forrest wouldn't be so respectful to him!
They all knew that a boss like Charles would treat Forrest respectfully, and the gap between them was
too huge.
All of a sudden, those people's attitudes toward Charles became much colder, completely without the
earlier reverence and admiration. On the contrary, many people felt that Charles liked showing off too
much and was so self-righteous with such a little achievement. Phoebe's husband, however, such a
powerful big shot was still low-key. In their opinion, the crumpled clothes that Tom was wearing turned
out to be an expression of indifference to fame and fortune.
In this regard, Charles's face was extremely difficult to see, even worse than eating a fly!
He couldn't understand why a big star like Forrest would be so respectful to Tom.
At this moment, he was full of hatred. He had paid a lot of money to invite Forrest to sing here. Why did
it become s show-off for Tom?
Quentin, who had conflicts with Tom just now, was now showing a pale face with fear and trembling. He
quickly ran over to apologize to Tom and begged Tom not to take it seriously.
Tom waved him away.
At this moment, Phoebe came out of the bathroom. She was stunned to see a group of people
surrounding Tom and fawning on Tom crazily.
She was confused and didn't know what happened.
