Chapter 212 Am I A Joke To You?
As the largest and most expensive villa in Sea Anemone District, this area was off-limits to anyone. Even if the ones who were trespassing were those influential figures who also owned a villa here, they would still not be exempted from the rule.
And being the most luxurious one, the news of the Pure Dew Villa finally being purchased could not be hidden for long, no matter how the management of Sea Anemone District chose to hide it.
One should not underestimate the detection capabilities of paparazzi's who's daily routine was to absorb and refine daily gossip to make into clickable and believable daily stories.
The five of them and their company were just recently hired by the Sea Anemone District to manage its security. As it was their first day, they must be rigid with their ways in order not to appear sloppy on their first day of service.
As for the five of them, they were initially doing their first morning patrol when they saw these two ladies jogging around the area. Being reminded of the instructions by their boss earlier, they immediately thought that the two of them were paparazzi's snooping around the area to get some scoop about the new owner of the most luxurious villa in Fore City.
Being new and obedient guards, they immediately went ahead to confront the two of them. In their minds, they were already hearing the praise from their boss for obstructing the paparazzi's plan.
"A big misunderstanding?" One of the blue uniformed guards asked with a doubtful face yet contorted face.
They already knew that they were paparazzi's, what was the use of lying? They already knew this kind of tactic. Big misunderstanding? Weren't these the words paparazzi would say when they were caught red handed?
However, as decent guard's, they won't point this out. They would only ridicule them inside their mind, but would not let such thoughts come out of their mouth. They would let flower words come out of their mouth in order not to offend anybody on their first day of work, even if they were paparazzis.
"Ma'am, I don't think there is a misunderstanding here. This area is truly restricted, and the owner of the Pure Dew Villa might take it on us if we just allowed you guys to loiter around here." one of them said with a wry smile.
"Ma'am, the Sea Anemone District is quite big. I heard that each villa is separated by quite a distance, so it shouldn't be hard if you just jog around the area of your villa, right?" He continued.
'That is if you guys truly owned a villa here as well,' One of them thought with ridicule in their heart.
"Yeah, it's not hard. We are doing that right now," Stacey said, not happy with how the guards kept on doubting her.
"Actually, as guards, shouldn't it be your duty to identify the owner of the villas?" She asked.
Hearing that, the five of them were tongue-tied. This was usually the case if it was on a normal day. However, they just got here last night. The Sea Anemone District management has indeed given them a compilation of the name and the face of the villa owners. However, due to time constraints, they haven't managed to read the compilation yet before they were immediately dispatched in this area for them to guard it with the utmost security.
"Uhhh-, yes indeed, that is our duty," one of them said. He felt that something was wrong, especially with how Stacey posed that question.
"So? Why can't you recognize him?" She said, pointing at Roland.
Roland looked at the five guards amusedly. He then recalled what happened in the gate almost a month ago when he just obtained the Pure Dew Villa. Didn't Gonzalo and that kid question his identity at that time as well?
He remembered that he earned a few face-slapping points at that time.
Seeing the opportunity right in front of him, there was no way he would let this slide.
He waited for the guard's response, as if a hunter waiting for the prey to fall into his trap.
The five of them looked at each other, the confusion in their eyes apparent that they indeed did not recognize Roland at all.
'Wait, could this be one of the paparazzi's schemes as well?' One of them suddenly arrived at this thought.
"Uhh, are we supposed to know you?" He asked, looking at Roland.
Roland merely smiled, extended his hand and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Roland, the owner of Pure Dew Villa."
The way he said it was quite calm and soothing. There was no hesitation to his voice, it was full of vigor and confidence.
Seeing his actions, the five of them looked at each other once again, leaving Roland's hand hanging in the air.
When Roland thought that they were finally about to believe them, he suddenly saw the three of them burst into a light laughter.
"Haha- that was a good one sir!" One of them said while clutching his stomach.
"Indeed, that was a good joke, but you three must really leave this area soon, else, we won't be able to do anything if the 'real' owner of Pure Dew Villa learned of the situation."
The reason they only regarded his statement as a joke was because he was wearing a 'jogging' outfit that matched the two paparazzis.
And besides, the Pure Dew Villa was the most expensive villa in all of Fore City and from the neighboring city around it. It has been left unoccupied for a few years already due to its sky-high price. However, despite this, the villa's price remained the same.
In their thought, there was no way a young man like Roland could afford such a luxurious villa. Even if he was a scion of a rich family in another city, it would still be a waste of their time and effort if they actually bought a villa in such a remote place like Fore City.
Hence, they did not believe Roland's words at all as his appearance and age was very contradictory to the 'rich' owner of Pure Dew Villa inside their mind.
'Why does it always result in something like this?' Roland thought.
Why would they always treat his words as a mere joke? Am I a joke to you?
no different than saying that Roland was lying.Just as they were about to retort and get mad at the five of them, Stacey and Janine frowned after seeing the five's actions. This was no different than saying that Roland was lying.
Just as they were about to retort and get mad at the five of them, Roland suddenly gave them the hush signal as he took out his phone to dial a certain number.
The name of the contact was Agatha, an employee of Sea Anemone District management force.
Same thing as he did before to Gonzalo , Roland dialed Agtaha's number and would just allow her to deal with these guards. It should also settle the face-slap opportunity.
After the second ring, Agatha finally picked up his call.
"Hello, Mr. Roland? What can I do for you today?" The person over the phone, Agatha, answered with a confident tone.
It seems that Agatha also saved his phone number, else, she would surely not know that it was him who was calling.
"Yes, there is indeed a little trouble that I need you to help me today," Roland said, pressing the phone on loudspeaker on purpose so that the five guards would be able to hear them.
"Sure thing Mr. Roland, just say it," Agatha stated over the phone.
"So, it's like this. There are currently five guards in front of me and they are about to send me off away from my property. I already told them that I am the owner of Pure Dew Villa, but they still won't believe me. Can I trouble you about this?" He said.
"I apologize for their misbehavior Mr. Roland, I assure you that this won't happen again. And please wait for a moment as I deal with this little problem of yours," Agatha apologized, promised and got to work to deal with Roland's problem in one single sitting.
Roland expressed his gratitude as he waited for the result of Agatha's actions.
As for the five new guards, at this time, their face has already lost all of its color due to fear and nervousness.
The moment they heard the voice of the person over the phone and how she addressed Roland respectfully, they immediately realized that Roland might truly be the owner of Pure Dew Villa.
This time, the five of them huddled quite close to each other. It was only this way that they managed to lessen the fear and nervousness they felt the moment they heard Agatha's voice and their conversation over the phone.
However, this only provides little comfort to them as the next moment, Agatha's voice was finally heard on Roland's phone once again.
"Alright, Mr. Roland, the problem should be more or less resolved now!"
