It was difficult for her to comprehend for quite a while. It was as though she had been lost in some fantasy world that she wasn't going to come out from.She turned around towards her young master with looks of suspicious flooding all through his eyes. Could it be that he was just trying to play tricks with her?More thoughts ran through her mind if quiet. But the looks on his face did not look like he was jokingOr he was very good at what he did. A large lump went swiftly through her throat as she finally went ahead to inquire."But why him young master?" She inquired once again with a strange look still layering her face."I know that you are stunned, Ms. Precious." He replied. "More than stunned." She muttered under her breath."But I know exactly what I am doing. I am going to give him a taste of his own medicine." He had a dark smirk on his face for her young master.She didn't even know if that was the best decision but she didn't dare to voice out another thought from the mo
90 Shockwaves went down Ben's spine. He had never thought that Han was going to listen to him in the first place until he saw Elvis there just a few moments ago.Now that Elvis said the words, a strange surge of shock ran throughout his body. Could it be that he was telling the truth or maybe he was just trying not to admit it?A large lump went down his spine and the silence that engulfed the place was beginning to get way too unbearable for him.But when he finally opened his mouth to speak words failed him, making the racing of his heart increase even more.Soon words were heard from the other end of the room making everyone turn around toward the direction of the sound.There, they noticed that it was David with Mr. James right behind him, wheeling forward towards them."Such an ungrateful fool. I knew right from the beginning that it was going to end this way. Foolish fool, if you feel that Ben wasn't the way that helped who else do you think would have done it?You are as broke
91Everyone was still petrified as they stared at the sight that was before them. How could it be that someone like the Almighty Mr. Donald was kneeling before them? Mr. Ford, who thought that it was more like a test for them, quickly jerked forward with an awkward smile on his face, trying to get Mr. Ford off the floor with all the will that he had in him."Mr. Donald. You already cleared off our debts. We are supposed to be the ones kneeling before you and apologizing."The sound of what he just heard was enough to bring back the consciousness that had already been stripped away from him in the first instance.But as he turned around, his eyes crossed paths with that of Elvis, making a cold shiver run down his spine almost in an instant."That's not true. I have offended Miss. Marissa so much." He replied. "I even brought a gift as a sign of my sincere apology." He added once again to his words. He was trying to impress Elvis as much as he could to get off his hook.He clapped his
Everyone stared in confusion as they didn't even realize what Mr. Donald was talking about.Marissa was also lost in thoughts. Could it be that Elvis had been telling the truth all along? But the question was if it wasn't Ben who got him out of prison then who else would have done that?Hearts raced faster. But none was as fast as that of Ben. His feet shivered. This was his golden opportunity and he was not going to let it shatter just like thisQuickly, he was finally able to compose himself and he turned around towards Mr. Donald with a smile.Making the angry frown that was hovering on his face deepen even more."You think that I am lying because we have some problem right?" He replied, still smiling."Then why don't you tell us who you sent to me?" Donald inquired, still staring right into his eyes.The words were able to shake him right to his root. The droplets of sweat that had formed on his face soon started running down like a stream.He knew what had happened when he had
Everyone stood still in their stares as they continued to stare for quite a while. Could it be that their ears were deceiving them or all of this was true?"Yesterday, I was there when Elvis was released and it wasn't because that was called. Han was furious when he even did.It was because Mr. Ford sent someone himself." He replied.The shockwave that ran through their spine knew no bounds. Hearts raced. Legs shivered as they stared.The mention of that name only was enough to make them sweat their armpits. What could be happening?They stared at Mr. Donald and they they were searching for the truth of what he just said in his eyes. But there was no essence for him to lie.They stared at Elvis and stared back at Ben. It was difficult for them to believe anyone at the moment.Hearts raced faster. Mr. Donald could feel the anger that had been boiling deep inside him for quite a while. He could not believe that it was someone Like Ben who was deceiving them. He wanted to stand and give
Elvis stared for a while. "I thought you knew already." He muttered after which he turned around towards Marissa who soon shuddered."Oh! He told me about it but I was quick to forget. He saved someone that was related to Mr. Ford and that's why he is getting all these privileges." She explained.Their demeanor soon fell. They never expected that Elvis was some lowly fool. Even Mr. Donald thought that he might be closely related to Mr. Ford and didn't dare to offend him that much.When he remembered the way that he had shown so much respect now, he regretted it deeply but there was no going back now.After he was done, he left the place angrily so as not to spill his tea. At least not now when he didn't have a strong font.He drew a really deep breath once again as he stared at everyone. This time it wasn't with the usual feeling of fear with which they had stared at him initially.This time, it was that of hate and disgust and they wanted to rip him apart."I should have thought so
There was silence but it lasted for a moment after which there was a burst of laughter throughout the hall.Whisper ran through and the only people who didn't say anything to Marissa was Mr. Evans."I for one knew that he had been crazy right from the very beginning but I never knew that it was this bad," David muttered under his breath."Even in his little delusional world, does he think that would ever be possible?" James added once again."Maybe he thinks that he would be up to par with someone like Ben after saying that his family has fallen low which I don't even believe.What is he even thinking? Even at Ben's lowest point. He would not be coming anywhere close to him." Jane added as she continued to laugh at how Elvis was looking."But I don't think that this is that bad. If he continues to stay this way. I am sure that Marissa is going to lose interest in him soon enough. And after that, at least I would be free from the burden of having him around." A deep sigh escaped from h
This was the perfect opportunity for him to get what he had always wanted. He drew a deep breath, fixing himself well. He had to look his best as much as he could.Everyone's brows furrowed as they continued to stare at him for quite a while, waiting for him to say something."It was an official letter." He began getting the other even more confused than they were already."What the heck was he talking about?" Marissa could not help it but yelled in her head."While he was closer to me. I am sure that he was able to peep it. And that was why he came up with all those accusations against me." He muttered under his breath once again.He drew a letter paper from his pocket. It turned out to be a perfectly sealed envelope and handed it over to David, knowing that Marissa would have turned into shreds if it had gotten close to her.David pulled the letter off, reading off the words that were written on it aloud.""An invitation to the family of concern to join the new robot invention compa
