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, and Aston Martin.
On entering the large building, they looked around and stepped closer to a lady who was dressed professionally.
"Hi Miss, I'm here to buy a car." He said.
Hearing their voices, the lady turned. "You are here to buy a car?" She asked in a sarcastic tone,
Seeing their appearance, she just couldn't believe that they could afford any car here so her thought at first was that they might have lost their way but seeing them nod she didn't question further instead she just smiled lightly.
She has a little bit of doubt but she didn't dare show it because it's not her right to react as she is just a worker.
"Since you are here for a car, let me show you the showroom where you can see different varieties of cars." She smiled as they all left for the showroom, she wasn't the only one who followed, the manager also joined them to the showroom.
"Gasp!"
A look of astonishment engulfed Peter as he stared at many expensive sports cars. He has never in his life believed that he would one day see many exotic cars but here he was seeing them.
"Wow Elmo, they all look superb! Which one are you going to buy?" He was not able to contain his excitement as he asked.
"I'll go for that Bugatti Chiron." He pointed at the car and they turned in his direction.
"Oh my, this car looks classy. Go for it." Peter said with a smile still on his face.
The manager was extremely dumbstrucked. How can he choose to go for that exotic car?
"Excuse me but I don't think you should go for that car. It's way too expensive and I don't think you can afford it." The manager said.
"Are you looking down on me?" Elmo asked calmly.
"I'm not looking down on you but I just don't think you could afford even half the payment." He said and Elmo eyebrow raised slightly.
"I'm buying this car and that's it." Elmo said as he fixed his eyes on the flashy and classy car.
"Miss how much is this car?" Elmo asked with his eyes still on the car.
The lady was also shocked to see that Elmo was pointing at an expensive car but she still managed to speak. "Sir, it cost $2.9 million." She said,
"Ahh!" Peter gasps.
"Elmo this car is way too expensive, I don't think we should buy it." He said slowly.
"Nevermind I like it so let's buy it." He replied to the surprise of Peter.
"Miss, tell me the account details." Elmo said and the lady quickly sent the details.
All the lady was waiting for was to see how he would be able to pay for this car, she just couldn't bring herself to believe that a man with an appearance like this could afford such a car. The manager was also waiting to see how things unfold.
He also couldn't believe a man like Elmo could afford any of the cheapest cars here.
Disbelief was clearly written on his face but he still stood still.
Ding! Ding!!
"2.9 million alert!"
"That was really a big slap to the face."
"It was a big slap to the manager's face.
The manager was shocked seeing the alert.
"Was it from you?" He asked.
"Yes, just send it." Elmo replied.
"Wow, thank you sir for patronizing us." They appreciated Elmo.
"Let me go get the receipt of payment." The manager said as he left the showroom with the other lady.
Seeing the manager and the lady leaving, Elmo and Peter took a seat.
"Elmo!"
He heard his name being mentioned in a loud voice behind him. He frowned and turned to see a young lady who looked just like a pretty model. Her face was filled with surprise as she stared at Elmo.
Elmo was dazed as he turned around to see Kiara's best friend, Rhea with a smirk on her face. He kept a straight face trying not to let his emotions get the better of him.
"Hi Rhea, what are you doing here?" He asked in a calm manner.
Rhea sneered, "I should be the one asking you that question, what are you doing here?" She rolled her eyes. "And besides, why are you in this country?"
I'm here to buy a car, is there anything wrong with that?" He asked, ignoring the other question.
"Get a car?" She laughed lightly, "are you aware of where you are standing? This is a luxury car shop for the rich and it's not for a wrecked cleaner like you. I'm sure the security personnel didn't see you entering because if they did, they would have gotten you kicked out like a dog!" She said rudely.
"Rhea, who the hell are you to talk to him like that?!" Peter asked, looking angry.
"Just shut the fuck up!" She raised her voice loudly, "I wasn't talking to you, I was talking to your other poor man so when I'm talking don't talk!" She cautioned, with an angry face.
Just as Peter was about to retaliate. Elmo stopped him.
"I don't think you should waste your strength talking to a rude lady." He said to Peter.
"You're right, I shouldn't waste my strength on someone like her." Peter chuckled lightly at the already angry Rhea.
"You!" She gritted her teeth," how dare you useless cleaner's talk to me like this?! You really are just a cleaner and errand boy and you dare to speak to me in such a way."
"I guess you have grown some wings now, that's why you have the courage to stand at my front and speak to me rudely. I really don't know what exactly you are here for but I must say that you are only trying to disgrace yourself."
"You saying you are here to buy a car is a very big joke! A really big joke!"
Despite Rhea's haughty attitude, Elmo chooses to remain in a cool manner. "I'm not a cleaner nor an errand boy and also it's none of your business why I'm here."
Rhea rolled her eyes hearing his words. "Like I care," she sneered, and just as she was about to walk away, she turned back and smiled.
"Your dearest and most beloved wife told me you got divorced." She said with a hideous laughter.
"And also, she said you also caught her in the act with a man. What a pity." A hint of mockery could be seen in those words of hers.
A frown appeared on his angry face as he just couldn't imagine that Kiara could be so shameless to tell Rhea about what happened.
Wanting not to hear any of her words again, he turned and was about to walk away.
"Stop!" She yelled in a loud voice.
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
Within few hours of the meeting ending, news already spread out in the business news that the project which the Martin's family has been eying for the past three months has been given to their rivals which is the Almost a billion dollars!A project which is worth almost a billion was given out just like thatMartin's family must have been devastated, after all who won't be; having lost such a huge contract.Meanwhile, back at Martin's family, anger was unleashed, every single member of the family was quiet seeing a man shouting looking apparently frustrated and angry.He had hoped for the project to be theirs so that they could move to the next level!"How the hell did all this happen? I only sent you both over to represent me for a day but both ruined all my months of planning!""Do you know if I had gotten this contract, my company would have boosted incredibly well?!" The man yelled angrily."Dad, we weren't the one to blame for all this. It's one useless man who caused all this."
Wasn't she the one planning the downfall of Lily, so how was Lily able to win against her!? God! Why! Camellia, who had weakened on the sofa, had to take a hold of herself. She managed to regain her composure, before saying. "Kaira, sobbing won't do a thing. Remember Elmo?" She asked, out of the blue. Kiara glanced at her. "Elmo? Why are you bringing him up all of a sudden?" "Remember, Mr Henry had said Elmo is now wealthy but we refuse to accept it. What if he's really wealthy, why don't we give it a try and meet him?" Kaira shook her head in disagreement. " I don't believe it and even if he's now wealthy it's pointless! Have you forgotten how I said Elmo treated me at the film launching party? He really won't help me!" She said "Shut up, Kiara." Camellia snapped. "Having a doubtful mind won't help you. Let's believe that Elmo would be wealthy and he would help us!" Camellia yelled in a harsh tone. Kiara's mouth closed. She didn't dare to refute Camellia's words knowing fully
"Mom, honestly, there was nothing important between Lily and me. She merely asked for forgiveness and such," Kiara recounted the restroom incident to Camellia."Is that all Lily said? She didn't cause any trouble, did she?" Camellia's tone indicated her uncertainty to what Kiara was saying.In Camellia's perspective, Lily might have threatened her daughter, which explained Kiara's reluctance in explaining what had happened in the restroom."Mom, I'm not lying whatsoever!" Kiara felt wronged, seeing the doubtful look Camellia was giving her."If you're really telling the truth and not hiding anything, then why didn't tell me all this when I was asking you?" She gave her an I-caught- you look."I refused to tell you anything, because I feared you might go meet Lily and create another chaos again." Kiara responded truthfully."oh, so that's it.""Yes." Kiara said. "When Lily apologized to me, I felt it was all a pretense. I'm sure she has something up her sleeve." "You think so." Camell
Seeing the expression on Kiara's face, Camellia finally get her mind straight and kept calm. She knew forcing Kiara to speak might result in something else so it was better to just hold her calm and wait for Jiara to cool down. Silence befalls around them. None of the two said a word, only heavy breath echoed next to them.Kiara already knew that Camellia was giving her time to get her mind straight. The feelings and weariness back at the restroom had made her a little suffocated that was why she was like this now and the only way to remove those feelings was to keep calm and get rid of those feelings.After a good two minutes, Kiara who had finally gotten hold of herself spoke."Mom, I'm fine. There's nothing much to worry about." She squeezed those thoughts out of her mouth with the intent of trying to comfort her mom.The thought of telling her Mom everything that had conspired between Lily and her at the restaurant.She was afraid that if she should bring it up, then maybe anot
Lily offered a small smile. "I appreciate that, Kiara. Maybe we can find a way to work together without all the tension. After all, we both have roles to play in the film."As she smiled, her pretty and classy face shone across the restroom. Based on her beauty alone, it will make others see her words as nothing but righteous. Even if they did hear and plead words and some doubt still lingers in their heart, it would immediately be dissolved upon seeing the beauty in front of them.However,Kiara was different. She sneered inwardly, she wasn't that gullible to stupidly believe any pleading words from Lily. She knew that Lily accepted to be the second female lead with the intent of snatching the female lead role from before, so how could she be so stupid and foolish to be easily fooled with this whole facade from Lily.Even if she was the one in place of Lily, she would not simply foil all her plans and foolishly or pitifully find peace with herself. Never!As Lily kept on speaking, Ki
Lily's eyes narrowed, she at first thought Camellia was just one of those crazy fans of hers. She had wanted to even force a smile, but upon hearing the word of Camellia, she asked. "Yes, I'm Lily. Who are you and which daughter am I troubling?" She asked, with a curt tone. Camellia could already see that she's a proud and cocky actress. Just who the hell does she think she's to speak to he with such tone. She managed to restrain her anger for later."I'm Camellia, Kiara's mother and I know you know why I'm here." She frowned, as he muttered those words out. Lilky ewned closer to her chair, before she spoke with a mocking smile, "Oh, you must be Camellia, Kiara's dear mother. I've heard so much about you."Camellia's lips curled into a disdainful sneer as she retorted, "And I've heard enough about you, too, Lily. You should be ashamed of yourself for what you've done to my daughter."Kiara had been on the verge of intervening, hoping to de-escalate the situation, but her mother's c
Camellia's face remained widened for a while, as she heard the words of Chloe."What are you really saying? Mr Henry is a good friend of my daughter Kiara." The truth was that Camellia had never really told her friends anything much about Mr Henry. She had only randomly told them that Mr Henry was their helper and also a friend to Kiara, but who would have expected that Chloe would see through all their lies.How would she have known all this!?Her mind kept on running differently.For Chloe to be able to confidently tell her all her lies, then it means that the others already knew.No, that's not possible.She silently prayed for it not to be true."You must be wondering how I know? Well, let me be good and reply to you. I got to know.." she paused as she quickly corrected herself. "No, we all got to know from the day we started noticing that this so-called person, you call your daughter friends and helper is always visiting your house." She said,with a sly and mocking smile." So,
Eldie and Susan understood what Chloe meant by the word. They tried to hold back their laugh, but they tried to do so, while the laughing sound busted out."Why are you both laughing?" Camellia asked with a grumpy expression." Sorry, sorry." Even though they were apologizing, they didn't look as though they were sorry, because they were still laughing. After saying that, they turned to Chloe and asked. "What do you mean by your word? Can you emphasize it for us?" It was clear that those words of Chloe were to insult Camellia's past, so they all knew that Susan and Eldie were both lying, when they said they didn't understand."Of course yes, I would gladly do that." Chloe smiled innocently, as she faced the three of them, but her attention was solely on Camellia's sour expression."What I meant then, was that our Camellia here also has a rough past that was worse than ours, so we should consider not bringing up the car issue, after all Camellia had also told me that." She seemed innoc
"I'll be going to sleep, you should also go. It has been a long day today." She straightened her body, as she stood up."Alright, bye. Goodnight love." Camellia didn't disagree. She was also tired after this long day's conversation. From the exchange of words, to a lot of topics that were spoken about and also about the Vida story, but had really made her tired out.They sluggishly dragged themselves to their rooms.The next morning, Camellia was telling one who woke up first. She had already taken her bath and could be seen in the living room having a cup of coffee. From the side angle, it could be seen that Camellia was enjoying herself with a cup of coffee In her hand, however only she knew she was feeling.The memories of everything Kiara had told her yesterday kept flowing into the head of Camellia, and that main memory was about the reality story of Vida."Oh my…" she sighed. "That poor girl truly doesn't deserve any of those things done to her. How can someone who has struggle
The situation had reached a critical juncture. While Vida and Collins had both spoken out in their defense, the anonymous insider remained shrouded in secrecy, their identity a closely guarded secret. The scandal had become a battle of narratives, with the public left to decide whom to believe.What the fuck is really happening!?All frustrating and tiring.Chaos everywhere. Dramas everywhere. Just when would all this stop for goodness sake!?As the city of Archville grappled with the ongoing drama, a group of investigative journalists continued to dig deeper into the scandal. They interviewed industry insiders, former colleagues of Vida and Collins, and anyone who might have information that could shed light on the truth. The journalists were determined to uncover the identity of the anonymous insider and verify the authenticity of the alleged evidence.Days turned into weeks, and the investigation led to a breakthrough. A whistleblower came forward, willing to reveal their identity
