He signaled to his driver with a wink. The driver quickly grasped the situation, stuffing more money into the womans hand and saying, Sweetheart, just buy a little necklace and we have a deal. You cant really argue with this, can you?
The driver, experienced at handling such shady situations, was particularly persuasive. He leaned in and whispered to the woman, Look, this gentleman has influential connections in Ardlens. Hes not someone to mess with. I suggest you take the money and leave. Dont complicate things, alright?
The drivers words were chosen, the sincerity questionable.
Far from a decent soul, the waitress realized she couldnt gain much from Deniz and quit arguing. Standing up and dusting off her trousers, she scoffed. Who are you kidding? I know this car. Its a junker. Not worth much. One with influential connections wouldnt be driving this trash.
Denizs quick temper ignited at the mockery, ready to attack.
The waitress, frightened, retreated, declaring, Forget it. Ill just treat this as a run-in with a swine.
Then, she walked away confidently, swaying her hips.

Damn it! Deniz kicked the car door in a huff. He cursed, What a disgrace, to be humiliated by some nobody!
The driver quickly lit a cigarette, handing it to Deniz. Sir, calm down. Women from these small places tend to be unruly and rough.

Although their claim was nicely put, Deniz felt by the time was allowed back, everything would be gone.
Thinking it through, Deniz wrongly blamed Nicole and Jarrod for his current suffering in this deserted place. If it werent for Jarrods recent connections to the Hampton family, he would be seeking an outlet for his rage.
Damn it! That hideous woman, so disgusting! Deniz couldnt stop cursing.
The driver grasped Denizs foul mood might make the next few days difficult for him as Deniz vented his anger.
But there wasnt much the driver could do with it since he needed this job to earn a living.
Attempting to change the subject, the driver said, Sir, you wouldnt believe it, but I met a stunning woman at the hot pot restaurant, truly elegant, a real beauty even by Ardlens standards.
Deniz scoffed. With your taste, how would you recognize true beauty?
Sir, trust me, Im not kidding. I even secretly took a picture to show it to you. Its just the earlier commotion made me almost forget about it.
The driver pulled out his phone, opened the gallery, and displayed a photo of Nicole dining, her charm evident even as she looked down at her meat.
