Philip quickly turned to Shelly and said, "Ms. Barrett, I'm just a staff trying to make a living here. Could you please talk to Ms. Lane and ask her not to report me?"
Feeling pressured to please the affluent, he couldn't understand why they targeted him.
Sharon said, "Mia, it's important to be forgiving and understanding. Just because you've become a wealthy heiress doesn't mean you can do whatever you want.
"And jobs aren't easy to find. If you want him to arrange a banquet, just ask him directly. There's no need to terminate and report him."
Shelly added, "Are you jealous that we can skip the line for our reservation? Is that why you're reporting him? If you have a problem, why not come straight to me?"
Mia smirked. "Why would I bother taking my frustrations out on you? Everyone knows that Aide Castle Hotel has a strict reservation policy.
"Changing the reservation list for anyone is out of the question. The manager is breaking the rules and being unfair to everyone else."
Jasmine nodded. "Exactly. Mia's got a point. Money doesn't override everything.
"The hotel's reservation system is solid. It stops people from relying on shady connections to get what they want."
Mia looked at Philip and said, "You're not needed here. You can go."
His complexion paled as he pleaded, "Ms. Lane, please don't report me! I'm willing to agree to anything.
"Our hotel has special-themed banquets, and I'll reserve them for you if you don't report me. You know how hard it is to book one of our themed events."
