The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

His bad side

Others’ attention quickly gathered towards Elijah and the salesgirl, and they heard some murmurs around them, which made Elijah smirk,

“Why is he still acting headstrong when he can’t afford the jacket?” Some woman mused as she stared at Elijah, shaking her head in disapproval. “Seriously, can’t he just take a hint? Why can’t he understand that it’s not good to act so arrogantly when he doesn’t have the money for any of these clothes?” A guy scoffed as he eyed the jacket in Elijah’s hands.

Hardening his face, a fellow met Elijah’s eyes, and then his face deepened into a scowl, his eyebrows furrowed over his blue eyes, and he mumbled, “You are that guy from the news?!”

“Boss, it seems like you are way too famous in a negative light. So maybe we should just forget about the jacket and get out of here before it gets ugly.” Ryan whispered after leaning toward Elijah’s ear.

But his words seemed to set Elijah off once again, and his eyes narrowed, as his face contorted in rage, and he looked directly into the salesgirl’s face and said, “Get your manager!”

“Who does this guy think he really is? Has the fact that Melina dumped his ass caused him to become delusional?!” A man with white hair commented while looking at Elijah, his expression showing his distaste.

“You are creating a scene here, and I don’t appreciate that! Leave this property and go find somewhere else to go shopping!” The salesgirl coldly uttered, looking at Elijah with a blank stare.

Not uttering a word, Elijah suppressed his anger and clenched his fists before looking her dead in the eyes and saying, “Get me your manager, now!”

The dominance in his voice made all present in the room tense up, and they looked at each other worriedly, wondering what was going to happen next. But no one dared to speak, as Elijah stared down at the woman.

Suddenly the store security approached the group, stopping right before them and glaring menacingly at Elijah.

After a brief while, the manager came rushing back with the card, a big smile on his face as he approached Elijah and then stopped, panting for a second. “Mr. Darius, what an honor it is to have you shop with us. Thank you for being willing to spend your money to buy a jacket from our humble store.” He grinned at him, bowing slightly. “Did my card not decline?” Elijah asked, his tone dead and emotionless as he stared at the owner with a calm expression. “Haha! How can such a card decline? Of course, it did not…
