Not once did the two spare Alex a glance while they conversed. They acted as if they could not careless about the man’s feelings.
Still, Alex did not get upset; he just smiled at the elderly woman. “Ma’am, it seems like there’s nothingmuch I can do to salvage this pair of pants. Not only are they riddled with black ink and spit, but there’salso a piece of gum stuck on them. I don’t think they’ll ever go back to the way they were.”
The elderly woman glanced at Alex and responded indifferently, “And what does that have anything todo with me? If you don’t want that pair of pants anymore, then throw them away, for I all care.”
Alex then widened his smile before reminding. “Ma’am, you seem to have forgotten that your grandsonwas the one responsible for ruining my pants.”
“Do you have any eyewitnesses? Did anybody actually see my grandson ruin your pants? Youshouldn’t falsely accuse others, you know?” Obviously, the elderly woman did not want to takeresponsibility for her grandson’s actions and was somewhat disappointed that Alex seemed unfazed.
“But you two are the only ones seated near me. If it’s not your grandson, I’m guessing it has to be youthen.” stated Alex, still smiling.novelbin
The elderly woman then looked away before carrying her grandson and pretended as though nothinghad happened.
“You’re in the wrong here, ma’am. I just saw your grandson doodling on this man’s pants. I also sawhim stick his gum on them,” a man seated not too far away from Alex piped up.
The man also spoke up against the elderly woman during the incident with the flight attendant.
Realizing that there was indeed an eyewitness, the elderly woman knew that she could no longer soshe glared at Alex and inquired mockingly, “How much could your pants possibly be worth? Areseriously going to hold that against a child? What a cheapskate! It’s no wonder you’re broke as heck.”
“I assure you, they’re definitely worth more than you imagine. As you said, I’m just a poor bastard and acheapskate, so I’m afraid that I’ll have to ask you to pay for them.”
The elderly woman got even more upset when she was asked to compensate for the pants.
“It’s just a stupid pair of pants; it’s not like you can’t wash them clean again. Besides, why didn’t yousay anything when my grandson drew on them? Did you purposely let him do it just so you could askfor money?”
As Alex expected, the elderly woman remained unreasonable. Hence, he decided to teach her a lessonshe would never forget.
“Do you remember what you said to me when I stopped your grandson the first time around? You toldme that an adult like me shouldn’t bully a child, so I listened. I didn’t stop your grandson when hedoodled on my pants because I didn’t want you to think that I was bullying him. Now that they’recompletely ruined, don’t you think you should show some sense of responsibility and compensate mefor my loss?”
As much as the elderly woman would like to snap back at Alex, she could not do so because what theman said made sense and was entirely reasonable. Out of options, she decided to agree tocompensate Alex fit makes Billy happy. I’ll gladly do anything for him.
The elderly woman then took out her purse and muttered, “You’re a cheapskate, that’s for sure. Only acheapskate would ask an old lady to pay for their pants. I hope you stay broke for the rest of your life.”
With that, the elderly woman took out a fifty from her purse and threw it at Alex.
“I believe this is more than enough to cover your crappy pants. Buy yourself a better one and keep thechange. You’ll need it.” the elderly woman mocked Alex as she continued to glare at the man.
“That’s where you’re wrong, ma’am. This bottom wear is worth one hundred sixty-eight thousand andeight hundred, so the fifty you just gave me is only enough to cover a very tiny fraction of it,” informedAlex, who did not bother to pick up the fifty bill.
