"I'm Jeremy Ross, the security guard. You've seen me before, and I often help park your car."
Tyler sifted through his memories and recalled a tall, skinny security guard. "Why are you calling me?"
Jeremy flashed an ingratiating smile. "We've known each other for so long—we're practically old pals. I hate seeing my friend being mistreated. The new chauffeur lied earlier; Ms. Carter didn't arrange for a chauffeur."
Tyler was taken aback. "How do you know?"
Jeremy explained, "After you left, the new chauffeur said it himself. I overheard it."
Tyler was fuming but managed to hold back his anger. "Thanks for telling me. If anyone at the company ever messes with you, let me know. I've got your back."
Hearing that, Jeremy was thrilled. "Thanks a lot, Mr. Hill."
After ending the phone call, Tyler stormed toward the staff room.
As a sales manager, Tyler looked down on security guards, cleaners, chauffeurs, and the like. He often yelled at them.
He couldn't believe a lowly chauffeur like Matthew dared to trick him. It was too absurd! He wouldn't be at peace until Matthew lost his job.
On his way back to the staff room, Tyler informed Jared of the matter.
Jared was just as infuriated when he realized he had been fooled. He stopped what he was doing and rushed to the staff room as well.
Meanwhile, Matthew chatted with Zachary, glancing at the time every now and then. School would end at 5:00 pm, so he had to be there by 4:50 pm.
Just then, the door was kicked open with a loud bang.
Tyler stormed into the staff room and pointed at Matthew, yelling, "Matthew Grant! Ms. Carter wasn't planning to go anywhere and didn't request a chauffeur. How dare you lie to me?"
Zachary didn't expect Matthew to be caught so quickly. He hurriedly stood up and soothed Tyler, "He's new here and doesn't know any better, Mr. Hill. I'll make him apologize to you. Don't be upset."
