I Was Scammed 10,000 Dollars For A Meal

For Mother’s Day, I took my mom on a vacation to one of the hotels I managed.
We were just relaxing on the leather couch in the lobby for a moment, when
the trainee manager on duty rushed over in a rage and yanked us to our feet.
“This couch is reserved for VIP guests with membership cards!”
“If you’re on a tight budget, stay at a hundred-dollar budget hotel. Don’t come here just for free air conditioning!”
Frowning, I was about to reveal my identity.
However, she slapped a bill onto the counter and demanded that I pay for a ten-thousand-dollar meal right then and there.
I was shaking with anger. “We just got here, and we haven’t even had a sip of water yet. Why on earth should we pay ten thousand for a meal?”
She rolled her eyes and tapped the counter defiantly.
“Anyone who stays at our hotel has to pay this fee!
“It’s a gourmet meal. Whether you eat it or not is your business, but you have to pay!”
I had enough and demanded that she call the manager. But she simply sneered and pointed at her employee badge.
“This hotel belongs to my brother in all but blood. I call the shots in the entire front office.
“It won’t do you any good even if you were to complain to God himself today!”
A chill ran down my spine. I was an only child, and my relatives had never been involved in my hotel business.
Who on earth was this “brother” she was claiming to have, and how did he manage to take my place?
