The bright ray of light shone on Elmo as he stretched his body on his big soft bed, after dressing up, he went downstairs. Elmo's face was just beaming with a smile as if this was the first time in years that he had ever slept peacefully.
"Elmo you are awake? Come have a cup of tea." Sonia said as she walked closer to Elmo with a big smile on her glowing face.
"Sure. Wow, this tea tastes nice. Who made it?"
"I made it myself." Sonia replied.
Just as Elmo was about to say something, Peter walked into the villa looking happy as he was flushed at how big the villa is.
"God Elmo, everything you told me over the phone last night was true? Gosh I am so happy that my best friend is now a wealthy man and I know I'll also be a wealthy man because I am your friend." He smiled as he continued speaking non stop.
"Now that you are in a powerful family, I am gonna get a Bugatti Veyron and a white Mercedes Benz for myself. In fact I am gonna fulfill every single thing that is on my wish list." He kept talking non stop, not even taking a break for even a second until he finally noticed a beautiful girl had been watching him.
"Hi." He said to Sonia slowly as if regretting why he has been talking like a parrot for so long. He smacked his head twice while cursing his running mouth.
"Hello, you're Elmo's friend. Right?"
"Yes I am his best friend." Peter said in his tiniest voice, making Sonia laugh.
"Why are you talking to me like that? Just a while ago, you were talking like a parrot. Now you are acting all shy around me. C'mon be yourself." Sonia said with a smile and Peter swayed his hands.
"Uh I wasn't talking like a parrot earlier. Actually I have been someone who speaks calmly, I'm sorry that you had to hear me speaking like that." Peter said with a big smile on his face.
"You don't need to apologize. I really like the way you spoke earlier so you don't need to change it."
"Really?!"
"Yes."
"Enough with your chit chat. Peter, let's go on a stroll around the city." Elmo said and they both left in a sports car.
They both left the Brown villa and decided to take a break round the city, looking at the buzzing city, he saw a scene where a couple were going to the office together, holding hands tightly like two inseparable birds. Just looking at them made Elmo flee back to the time when he and Kiara were always together smiling happily together even though he knew Kiara doesn't like him, he was still happy with joy in him that she still pretended to be happy with him.
Gosh he was such a fool?
Different emotions passed through him as he rode his car. He snapped out of his thoughts when Peter hit his head.
"What? Why did you do that?!" A frown came on Elmo as he asked.
"You were busy thinking while you were driving. Are you crazy? Do you want us to have an accident? Listen I still have to enjoy all your money so please don't make me die before I could even spend a dime!" Peter kept on ranting until a ringtone came on Elmo's phone.
"Who is it?"
"It's grandfather."
"Wow, your grandfather? Answer the call fast." Peter said and Elmo quickly answered the call.
"Grandfather, you called."
"Yes, come to QX group of conglomerate. I'll send you the address now."
"Okay grandfather, see you there." Immediately he hung up the call, a message showing the address suddenly hopped up on his screen."
"Are you going to the company now?"
"Yes we are." He said as he drove straight to the company.
Getting to the company. He was welcomed with the sight of the Description of the QX group of the conglomerate proudly written on the wall of the building. They both got down from the car looking at the high skyscraper building in front of them and Elmo and Peter marveled looking awed as they stared at the magnificent building with their mouths opened. They passed the back of the car park leading them to a private elevator which is only meant for the CEO of the QX group conglomerate and they only passed there because the old master asked them to do so. When they entered the elevator, it closed and Peter kept on smiling, still in a happy mood.
"Okay, what is the company like, is it too professional or what?" Peter asked, still looking so happy.
"What rubbish are you saying? How do I know what the company looks like? This is also my first time here just like you so free me from all this questioning." Elmo said and Peter kept mute.
Soon after, the elevator stopped and they left the elevator only to see two men in black bowing their heads slightly.
"Young master, we are asked to bring you to the board office." One of them said,
"Okay can my friend also join?" He asked, referring to Peter.
"Yes young master, he can also join." He said and just like that they were brought into the board office where all the director, board members and also the old master were seated.
Looking at all the dignified people sitting down, Elmo couldn't help but wonder why he was asked to come here. Seeing his grandfather, he quickly went over to his side.
"Grandfather, what is this meeting for?" Elmo asked with a puzzled look.
"Actually this meeting is to inform everyone that you are now the CEO of QX group conglomerate and you are also the family heir." The old master said with authority and everyone became shocked because they were not expecting master Brown to make Elmo the CEO so soon.
Even though all the board members had different questions in their mind, they didn't say a word. Instead they all stood up and congratulated Elmo as the new CEO of the whole of QX.
"Grandfather isn't this so soon?"
"I have made my decision and it can't be changed." The old master said as he left the board meeting.
Immediately the old master left, Peter quickly went to hug Elmo. "Congratulations Elmo, I am so happy for you." He said as he hugged him tightly.
"I can't believe that I am now a CEO. It's just so unbelievable!" Elmo said with a flustered look.
"Let's go to your office." Peter said and immediately they got into the office, they were awed by the interior of the office.
The office was beyond spacious, well-lit, and tastefully decorated with a masculine touch. The walls are painted in a soft shade of beige or gray, and the flooring is made of high-quality hardwood or plush carpeting. Large windows offer a stunning view of the city skyline or lush greenery, providing a sense of tranquility and inspiration.
The office is furnished with a large wooden desk, adorned with a stylish lamp and a minimalist computer monitor. Behind the desk is a comfortable, high-backed leather chair, perfectly positioned to command the room. Adjacent to the desk is a cozy seating area, with a plush sofa and a couple of armchairs, arranged around a sleek coffee table
The lighting is warm and inviting, with strategically placed lamps and fixtures that create a cozy and intimate ambiance. Overall, the office exudes an air of sophistication, elegance, and power, reflecting the CEO's status as a visionary leader and influential figure in the business world.
Elmo couldn't help but praise the office as top notch.
"Elmo, I can't believe this beautiful place is your office. I'm surely going to be coming here every day." Peter grin childishly as he sits on the black chair.
Just then, a knock came on the door.
"Come in." Elmo said and immediately a tall man walked in, that was the same man who opened the car door for Elmo at the airport.
"How may I help you?" Elmo asked.
"Young master, I'm Stuart and I am your personal assistant starting from today so anything you need, you may ask me." The man said with a slight bow.
Elmo raised his eyebrows and inspected the man standing in front of him. Looking at the tall man, one could see that he was well trained because his way of speaking was so good that only a professional could do it.
After inspecting him with his eyes, Elmo finally utters a word.
"I have a job for you?"
"Sure sir, go ahead." Stuart said.
"I want you to investigate and tell me everything that my wife Kiara has been doing with that man Mr Henry while I was still living with them." Elmo ordered.
"Okay sir, I'll be on it right away." Stuart said as he left the office
Seeing Stuart leaving the office, Peter quickly turned to Elmo with a large smile on his face. "What's with the smile?" Elmo asked, looking suspiciously at the smiling Peter. "What do you mean? Can't I smile again without any reason?" "I really know you want to say something. So spill it out." "You sure do know me. Well you are right. Uh, why don't we go get a car for yourself." Elmo raised his eyebrows. "Why should we do that? You know there are many cars in the villa already so why should we go get another one?" He asked. "C'mon Elmo, why are you such a miser? It's really not bad to have a personal car that you bought yourself. Let go now, I am really bored here." Peter grumbled until Elmo agreed to his request. "Fine let's go." Elmo said and they both left the office. They walked into an establishment of exotic car dealership that specializes in selling high-end and prestigious automobiles, often from luxury brands such as Lamborghini, bugatti Veyron, Ferrari, Rolls-Royce, a
Her soft but loud voice stopped Elmo and his friend right in their tracks. With her loud voice, every passerby stops just to watch the commotion that's about to unfold.She stepped closer to him with a light smirk visible on her pretty face. "Are you walking away because you couldn't control your tears after hearing me talk about your divorce?" She raised her voice as she asked just so everyone could hear their conversation."Yes we're divorce! Isn't that what you want to hear? Now that you have heard me, can you just leave!" Elmo said."Humph, why are you in such a hurry to chase me away? Cmon I remember you said earlier that you are here to buy a car, why don't you buy it now. I mean right in my presence." She scoffed as"Why should I buy it right in your presence? I really don't have time for your drama so can you just leave." Elmo said, trying his best to remain calm.Just then the lady who went to bring the receipt came back, seeing the little commotion, she tried speaking after
Hearing the scream, Elmo quickly pressed the brake and the car stopped."What the hell just happened?" Peter asked with his heart in his chest as he felt he had almost died from shock."Who the hell screamed like that?" They both got out of the car and were welcomed with the sight of another car right in front of their car.An angry looking man stepped down from the car as he surveyed his car, which had already been scratched badly."Are you guys mad, how dare you damage my car? Do you know how much this car is worth? It's worth a hundred of your life!" The man yelled as he kept on surveying the damages."Why are you shouting at us, you should speak politely to us and then we might be able to find out what happened exactly." Peter said.Just as the man was about to respond, he finally took notice of the blue Bugatti Chiron car."What! Is this yours? Did you steal it?" The man asked with astonishment as it looked so unbelievable to be seeing a Bugatti Chiron."Yes, I thought you wante
The old master already noticed that Elmo wanted to say something so he asked. "Elmo, do you have something to say?" "Uh grandfather, I won't be staying here for long" He said as he fiddled with his finger hoping the old man wouldn't be sad. "Why won't you be staying here? This house is the family villa so why won't you live here? If it's because you don't like this place we can go back to the family mansion; after all we're only at this villa to change surroundings and we are even going to the main mansion soon." The old master tried reasoning with him. "It's not because we're staying at a villa, actually I really want to stay alone." The old master sighed before speaking, "okay since that's what you want, I won't stop you. I would always want to see you happy." He said and Elmo smiled. They both spoke about different things before Elmo retreated to bed. The next day, Elmo left the Brown family with his Bugatti Chiron to a renowned real estate to purchase a small mansion for him
Everyone was still anticipating, they were waiting for the machine to turn green which would automatically show a successful transaction and it would also be a slap to those who look down on him. Time looks as though it was stopped as they all seized their breath and just like that, a light was shown, but it was not what they imagined. The light showed red, which means it was declined. Declined!! They all burst into laughter when they saw the machine showing red. It turned out that Elmo was just a show off who poses to be want he is not; he is just a church rat! One who saw him bragging about buying the mansion would have thought he really meant it. They laughed even harder seeing Elmo standing without a word to say. They had at the last minute thought that he could really be rich but now it turned out to be untrue.. Some had an angry expression on them seeing the man just waste their time for nothing. Dara, the salesgirl who was polite to Elmo when he came in, was even more sad
Getting to the mansion, Elmo was beyond amazed. The small mansion looks even more beautiful and classy than it was when it was displayed on the screen.They drove the blue sports car into the mansion, which was given an air of opulence.Stepping inside, he was welcomed by a breathtaking foyer, featuring a soaring ceiling adorned with a dazzling crystal chandelier. The foyer leads into a spacious living area, characterized by its high ceilings.Everything in the mansion omits luxury and nobility."Mr Brown, I can see you like the mansion given your expression." Elvor said with a smile."Sure you're right. I'm in love with this mansion at first sight. What a beautiful mansion. Don't you agree, Ms Elvor?" Elmo asked with his eyes still on the beautiful mansion."Yes, it's a beautiful mansion." Elvor said, while the employees that followed them just kept quiet without saying a word.After Elmo was done checking the mansion, Elvor spoke. "Mr Brown, I really want to apologize to you for the
He picked up the call even with the questions in his mind."Hello." He said, shortly."Elmo, how are you?" Kiara asked."I'm fine, if there's nothing else to say, I'll like to hang up." He said indifferently."Why are you talking like this? I'm sure you must be thinking I like you that's why I called but no that's not the case. Actually I know you must be living on the bridge or sleeping on the street. That's why I took pity on you and I'm allowing you to come back home. By the way we're now staying at Archville so tell me your details so I can send you money to buy a ticket for you to come here." She said with pride.Elmo didn't reply to any of the words, instead he asked, "are you at Archville?!""Yes I'm." She said still with proudness in her voice, she had actually thought he wanted to come to Archville, that was why he asked, but his next statement made her think wrong."I'm not coming to live with a person that has actually cheated on me." He said plainly."Elmo, are you nuts? T
Seeing the temperature of the office, Stuart stayed quietly without moving an inch. He feared with Elmo's moody face, he might become a victim of his anger. After a while of solemn face, Elmo raised his thin lip as he spoke, "tell me any available project at hand, I'll like to check it out." He said and Stuart quickly responded, hoping not to piss the already angry man. "Yes, we have an ongoing project, it's the new construction hotel project and we're still under consideration as to who will handle the project, many companies are all fighting for it but you know we have to give the project to the best competent. Besides we're going to be having a meeting to conclude who to give the project to at one of our hotels tonight so are you joining us?" Stuart asked. "Yes, I'll join, you can go before me, I will join you guys later." Elmo said, and Stuart bowed before leaving the office. Soon night came and Elmo drove his car to the seven star hotel. Getting down from his car, he walked i
