Female Novel
Chapter 32 Scary Threa
Farris was satisfied after Stella got fired. She moved away from the counter and he ignored her. He
slowly walked to Horace's side and said in a surprised tone, "Ah! It's you, young man. What a
coincidence. We have been bumping into each other in different places recently. I sense a pattern here.
Anyway, tell me what you want to buy. I'll treat you today just to celebrate our budding friendship."
"Well..." Horace laughed inwardly when he saw the surprised expression on Farris's face. He never
expected that such a powerful man would be so good at acting. People who didn't know that they knew
each other would think they just occasionally met coincidentally. Horace matched Farris's energy by
pretending to be surprised.
With a friendly countenance, he said, "Hello, Mr. Rivera. Nice to meet you again. Thank you for your
kindness, but I can afford to buy what I want."
"Ha-ha! Since I have already offered to pay, don't refuse my offer. Take it as a gift from a friend," Farris
said and chuckled. Afterward, he looked at Davina and asked, "Hey, young lady. What did this young
man want to buy? Tell me."
"What?" Davina was stunned when she heard Farris's question. She was still in a daze because of
what happened a while ago. What shocked her the most was the way Stella cowered in the presence
of Farris. Her colleague had always bullied her, so she saw her as a terrible woman. Since Farris made
Stella behave like an obedient bunny, Davina guessed how horrible he was.
It would be good if she didn't tremble after such a dangerous person spoke to her.
After a while, Davina came to her senses and stammered, "Mr. Rivera, just now... this... young man
asked me to show him the most expensive cake here. Is there something I can do for you?"
"It isn't a mere coincidence that I met this young man here at this time. What kinds of best cakes do
you have? Now I want you to make one of each kind for this young man." Farris waved his hand
generously as he made the order.
"Okay, Mr. Rivera," Davina readily agreed with a nod.
In Farris's case, no one dared to check if he had money to pay for the cake. If anyone dared, they
would be stepping on his toes.
Horace admired Farris for stepping in. He was so thoughtful. Not only did he pre-order different cakes
for him, but he also prevented him from losing face here. Things would have been worse if Farris hadn't
come to his rescue.
Davina took out a pen and notepad. "Hello, sir, please leave your contact information, address, and the
day you would like the cake to be delivered. We will deliver it on time for free."
"Laila, it's your birthday cake. I'll celebrate with you on that day. Which restaurant would you like in
Rinas? I will make a reservation for you. If you can't make a choice, then let's just celebrate in the Sea
Pavilion!" Horace looked at Laila and asked softly.
"Well... Horace, how about we make a reservation with a cheap restaurant?" As Laila spoke, she shook
her head in disagreement.
Horace's suggestion of the Sea Pavilion had taken her by surprise. As far as she was concerned, that
place was out of the question. She worked there part-time, so she knew it was very expensive.
A simple dinner for three people in the Sea Pavilion cost a minimum of three thousand dollars. This
meant that the average cost for a person's single meal would be at least one thousand dollars.
Horace argued immediately. "Laila, I don't like your suggestion. Your birthday is special, so we can't
celebrate it in an ordinary restaurant. Let's just have it at the Sea Pavilion."
Stella was standing in a corner when she heard Horace speaking with so much confidence. She burst
into laughter and remarked, "Look at this guy. Why are you pretending to be rich? How dare you say
you would go to the Sea Pavilion? I hate to burst your bubble, but I'm sure you can't even get past the
security at the gate. They don't allow people like you in."
"Humph! Do you think the employees in the Sea Pavilion are mean like you? They are well-trained and
respectful. You are not worthy to be compared to them at all. It would be a big insult."
Horace had no respect for Stella even though she was, until a few moments ago, an attendant here. He
had worked as an attendant before, so he knew the ins and outs of this service. Stella had gone
against the rules by looking down on him and Laila for a long time.
Horace wouldn't be this angry if she had only mocked him. But she crossed the line by humiliating
Laila. He couldn't tolerate anyone that hurt his one true friend.
For this reason, he put Stella in her place.
"Ha-ha! You talk as if you have ever been there, poor loser!"
Stella was unrelenting. Since she had nothing to lose, she wasn't afraid of anything, not even Horace.
She continued to do what had made her lose her job in the first place.
A hot slap suddenly landed on Stella's face. Farris then stood in front of her.
He had walked towards her the moment she began to ridicule Horace again.
Stella had focused all her attention on Horace, so she didn't see Farris approaching her. Repeating the
insult, poor loser, was the last straw that broke the camel's back.
Farris had exerted great strength in the slap. Stella held her cheek and looked at him in horror. She
stammered, "You..." She was about to shout at him, but she suddenly remembered that this man was
superior to her boss. She swallowed her words.
At this moment, Farris said angrily, "Are you nuts? Didn't you just get sacked for your bad behavior?
More so, I just said that this young man is my friend. How dare you insult him again? You are a woman,
but I don't show anyone mercy. Gender doesn't matter to me. Do you know who I am? I'm Farris
Rivera. If you get me angry, I will sell you to a human trafficker in a remote village. Do you know I can
do that?"
"What?" Stella's eyes widened and she shivered when she heard Farris's name. She sank to her knees
the next second. She didn't expect that the Mr. Rivera her boss had brought here was the most
dangerous man in Rinas. She finally managed to stammer in fear, "Mr. Rivera, please forgive me. I'm
sorry. Please let me go. I will do anything you ask of me. Please don't sell me to a human trafficker in a
remote village!" novelbin
"Tsk, tsk, tsk!" Like the gangster that he was, Farris put one hand in his pocket and rubbed his chin with
the other. He looked at Stella carefully and said, "You have a pretty face and a good figure. I can sell
you for a good price!"
"Ah! Please don't sell me, Mr. Rivera. I'm sorry. Please forgive me!"
"Saying sorry to me is completely useless!" Farris glanced at her with a wicked smirk. This sent a
shiver down her spine. She moved backward involuntarily. Now she wished the ground would open up
and swallow her. It was better than being enslaved.
It wasn't until she looked at Horace that she understood what Farris meant. She groveled to Horace's
feet and apologized, "I'm sorry, sir. I have realized my mistakes. This will never repeat itself. Please let
me go!"
