At that thought, Helen dashed up and grabbed hold of Jason to prevent him from further doing anything extreme.
"H-How dare you hit me? An apology won't help you now! Just you wait to be beaten up!" the server snapped viciously as she glowered at Jason with bulging eyes and pure malice on her face.
"What's wrong? What happened here?"
Due to the commotion, the other servers and security rushed over.
"What happened?" a security officer asked the server who had been slapped.
"Mr. Jordan, he hit me! Look, my face is all swollen!" the server exclaimed aggrievedly as she
touched her face.
When the chief security officer heard that, his brows creased. Looking at Jason, he murmured, "Excuse me, sir, but no matter what the reason may be, you have to apologize if you hit someone."
He was exceedingly polite in his speech since he had no inkling of Jason's identity. What if he's an official or a wealthy businessman's son considering his domineering attitude? I'll just be shooting myself in the foot if I were to be rude to him!
"Apologize to her? What a joke! When have I, Jason Goldstein, ever apologized to anyone? Say, are you all blind? Didn't you see that server's rotten attitude? If I were your boss, I would've fired her ages ago. She will just ruin the business if you allow her to stay!"
Rage blazed within Jason upon hearing that the chief security officer wanted him to apologize to the server. Why should I apologize when I didn't do anything wrong?
"Uh..."
At that moment, the chief security officer was caught in a dilemma as he instantly understood what had happened the moment he heard that. The server in question had always looked down on others, so he was naturally aware of that.
"We'll naturally deal with the situation you mentioned earlier behind closed doors, but you must apologize for having hit her. Otherwise..." the chief security officer asserted with a frown even as his gaze remained fixed on Jason.
How am I going to garner any respect here in the restaurant if I don't side with the employees as the chief security officer?
