Chapter 23 - 23 : Everything is Free!

Chapter 23: Chapter 23 : Everything is Free!

Jackie stood beside the counter along with all his friends. He had been looking forward to this moment for a long time. One of his friends started recoding the scene on his mobile.

The cashier signalled the Das to hand over the clothes in the shopping cart. After collecting all the clothes, the cashier started quickly scanning the price tag.

"Sir, the total bill is fifty one thousand rupees. Cash or card?..." She asked with a serious face. Without thinking much, Das passes on the key card that was presented by the old man from the Reddy family.

"Sir, this is not a valid card. Please provide a valid one." The cashier replied after taking a single glance at the key card.

Jackie's eyes lit up with that one single sentence. He patiently waited for several hours to watch this scene.

"Miss, why don't you say it after scratching the card?!..." Das asked with a serious tone.

"Do you think I made a mistake? You may not know... But Ive been working in this store for more than five years, and I have seen several rare, luxurious cards. With a single glance, I can recognise every single card in this country, and I have never seen a card like this. It is definitely a fake." She declared her judgement.

Maybe because of Jackie's influence, she never even considers scratching the card given to her by Das.

"If someone asked you to scratch the card, do it obediently. Why are you saying all this nonsense?..." Sheela, who had stood silently until now, yelled at the cashier. She really got irritated after seeing the ill behaviour of the cashier.

With a smirk, the cashier immediately scanned the card. The sound of the card being declined did not appear as she expected. The cashier immediately turned her towards the monitor to see the result.

On the monitor, a picture of a young girl appeared along with the card feature on the side. At first, the cashier did not understand what was going on. After carefully studying the card details on the monitor, she found out the card's value.

Jackie felt anxious after seeing the cashier's flabbergasted expression. "Miss, what happened? Did he pay the bill?" Jackie asked from the side. But the cashier did not reply to him as she was carefully reading the details of the card on the monitor.

"Sir, this is not your card. It belonged to family members of the Reddy family." The cashier replied seriously while taking a closer look at the beautifully designed key card. n-/OVelb1n

"Miss, then why are you wasting time on him?... immediately call the police and report the theft. You will also gain a lot if you report this to the Reddy family." Jackie suggested with a gentleman's face. One can see a wild joy on his oval face.

"Haha... If I can successfully post this video on the internet, it will go viral in a single day." Jackie also thought internally. Jackie's group of friends also became enthusiastic after seeing the situation.

"No... I can't report this directly to police. According to company rule, I must report this to my manager first." She said this while picking up the microphone to make a call.

"Das, is what she said true?..." Sheela asked him with an anxious tone.

"Trust me... I can handle this." After saying it, Das took out his mobile phone and dialled Luna's personal number.

"Hello, why are you calling me at this time? ... I'm busy doing makeup." Luna's voice came from the other end.

"I want to talk with your grandfather." Das replied.

"He went to the chief minister's office. You can't talk with him now." Luna replied while doing her nail polish.

"Then ask your grandfather to take back this trash key card. I can't even buy a few clothes with it." Das said with a serious tone.

"Wait, what happened? ..." Luna questioned. Das explained the details of the cashier rejecting the card and reporting it to the manager.

"Give me five minutes." With that single sentence, Luna disconnected the call.

"Das, stop bluffing. I know you made that fake call to intimidate this delicate lady. But that stolen card belongs to the Reddy family. You will definitely go to prison this time." Jackie shouted loudly to indirectly scare Sheela.

After some time, a person who was wearing the tag of an assistant manager came walking hurriedly.

"Where is the card?..." He directly asked the cashier. She passed the beautifully customised card to him. After checking it for a moment, the assistant manager started questioning Das.

"Sir, who gave you this card?..."

"That old man..." Das said while showing his finger towards the Reddy family picture on the background wall.

The assistant manager got scared after seeing the old man's picture. He will lose his job if he fails to deal with the situation correctly. "What if he is saying the truth? ..." The assistant manager was in a dilemma.

"Sir, he is an orphan who lives through part-time jobs, and he doesn't even know about the Reddy family. Don't take his words seriously. He is definitely bluffing." Jackie elucidated to the assistant manager.

Even though the assistant manager was convinced by Jackie's words, he didn't dare take action against Das, who was standing confidently without any nervousness on his face.

"Sir, I don't know whether you are telling the truth or not. ... Please wait a few minutes... I will call the manager. The manager of this store is also a family member of the Reddy family... he will definitely clarify this situation." The assistant manager explained with a requesting tone, and he took out his personal mobile to call the manager.

Das really like the behaviour of the assistant manager. Like the cashier He did not get influenced by Jackie's barking. From the beginning to the end, he always communicated while showing respect to the other person.

"Sir, the manager is not lifting the call..." Even before the assistant manager completed his sentence, a middle-aged, big, fat man came running towards the billing desk. The fat man directly started swearing at the cashier and the assistant manager for causing a mess. He went near Jackie, who stood beside the billing counter, and began apologising to him.

"Mr. Das I'm really sorry for the inconvenience... I will definitely take proper action to your satisfaction." The fat man continued apologising to Jackie.

"Manager, he is not da..." the assistant manager tried to stop the fat man. But the fat man cursed back for disturbing him. Jackie got really scared after seeing the fat man apologise to him in the name of Mr. Das.

The fat man was a more influential person than his father. That is why Jackie got scared silly.

"Sir, he is not Mr. Das..." the assistant manager finally shouted loudly.

"What!?..." The fat man got dumbfounded after seeing that he was begging the wrong person like a scared cat. There are only two people standing opposite the counter.

The fat man thought Jackie was the person who Luna mentioned because Jackie was looking like a rich kid whereas Das was wearing an ink-stained shirt. Jackie's friends, who are busily capturing this scene, went aghast after seeing this scene. They never expected the manager to personally apologise to a poor orphan like Das.

After listening to the explanation of the assistant manager, the fat man immediately turned his focus towards Das. "Please forgive me for the misunderstanding. Luna madam asked me to personally apologise to you for what happened. Sir, I'm deeply sorry for this inconvenience."

"Manager, you are not the one who offended me... I just want to buy clothes. So, Please process the bill. I'm getting late for my work." Das said it seriously, without caring about the fat man's apology.

The fat man immediately understood the situation ans shouted on the cashier to apologize. "What are you doing? Apologise to Mr. Das... don't you know how to treat the customers."

The cashier was already scared after seeing the manager's humble behaviour towards Das. She immediately knelt down and started apologising to Das. The assistant manager also said sorry while bowing his head.

Das did not feel any pity for the cashier. Whereas Sheela, who stood silently beside Das, felt really sympathetic after seeing the pitiful face of the cashier.

"Manager, it's ok... We don't need their apology. because they did not do anything wrong. Please process the bill faster." Sheela asked, requestingly.

The manager immediately ordered the cashier to do as Sheela said. He also asked the assistant manager to pick out a few couple's costumes from the latest collection.

"Madame, my assistant will show you the latest collection of clothes... Please take whatever you like. Everything is free!!!... The manager suggested as this the way to curry favour a teenage girl. The manager asked the assistant manager to take Sheela to the inside shop section for selecting the latest collection.

Sheela turned his head towards Das to see his reaction. Das nodded his head in approval.

"Sir, would you also like to take a look at the new collection?..." the manager asked with a smiling face.

Note : Das will be busy on making arrangements for the Luna birthday and he also need to manage the brothel tonight. So, my dear readers... expect some interesting drama in these three days holidays.
