Elmo could instantly see the look as Ariana didn't conceal it. He wondered if he did the wrong thing by asking her about that day's event.He glanced at her for a while, before speaking. "Uh, you don't need to say anything. It was just a casual question. Just take it as though I wasn't expecting a reply from you." He quickly muttered, while glancing at her.And after that, their surroundings became silent.Ariana didn't reply, but he already took her silence as not wanting to talk about the matter again.Although previously, Elmo only asked this question due to the dull expression on Ariana's face, but now that he noticed her drastic gloomy look after asking the question, Elmo had an immense urge for wanting to know why she was drunk at a time and place like that.He slowly drank his coffee not without continuously glancing at Ariana with a perplexed mind.Ariana, whose eyes have been on her coffee and her mouth has been sealed, finally spoke. "Ehm, actually I only got drunk that day
Ariana only laughed to lighten the mood. "Humm, maybe yes, maybe no."Elmo looked at her like an insane person. Why was she laughing? *Did he say anything funny?*"Do you understand what I said?" He finally asked, as he failed to understand Ariana's laughter. It baffles him seeing that she wasn't connecting his words about her sister.Ariana laughed once again, with a small smile. "I don't think I want to understand what you say?" Honestly, Ariana clearly understood all what Elmo was pinning at. She wasn't a fool or a child not to figure that he was tagging her sister to be uncaring towards, however her will was quite bent on not believing what Elmo thinks or says about her sister."Cough cough. Since you say so then I won't try to make you understand." Even though Ariana didn't say much, Elmo still reckoned out her underlying words."Yes." Ariana nodded heavily, and after a while, she asked. "Should I continue from where I stopped?" She was talking about the part where her sister ha
Around midnight, Elmo was finally done with the files in front of him. Feeling tired and exhausted, he managed to get the legs to his room.Without wasting time, he fell on the bed with his eyes closed.The next morning, Elmo went to the company. Getting there, he directly landed in his office using the private elevator that only leads to his own office.When he got there, he immediately called Stuart to come over to his office.Few minutes later, a knock came on the door and Elmo approved of the person to come in."Good morning, young master." Stuart bowed immediately after entering the office."Em." Elmo only nodded to acknowledge his greetings, before drastically changing into a serious expression."Are we having the meeting now?" He asked, with a stoic and serious face."Yes, the staff members of the style and fashion department and others are already gathered in the conference room.""Alright, you can go. I'll be there in about ten minutes."Before Elmo left for the Brown family
He felt utterly ashamed and at the same time angry that things aren't going according to his plans. He slowly stood up with his eyes scrutinizing everyone seated in the room.As his eyes wander on them, the staff couldn't help but feel frightened and oppressed by the cold look in Elmo's eyes."Listen everyone, I'm sure you all know your purpose in this company. You were all hired to improve and make Chartreuse Street fashion always at the top. However, why am I not seeing any of what we have expected. All I'm seeing is low efficiency and poor improvement from you all."Everyone held their breath at Elmo words. His words and demeanor made them unable to even move a part of their body.However, one of them contemplated whether to say something and after a while, he spoke. "Sir, just as we have always been topping the fashion industry all this while, we would surely return back to the position." An assuring and confident tone could be held in his voice making the fear staff nod in agre
Shortly after they were done with the meeting, Elmo and Stuart stepped out of the conference room. It was obvious they were discussing something from their mouths."Wow, I thought you weren't going to come out." A loud yet disdainful voice spoke.Elmo frowned slightly as he turned to the voice. Just a few steps from him, was a young man walking towards him.An arrogant man in a navy blue suit cuts a striking figure as he enters the room. His choice of attire immediately draws attention, as the deep, rich hue of the suit exudes an air of authority and sophistication. The suit itself is impeccably tailored, hugging his frame in all the right places, showcasing his self-assuredness.As he walks, his posture is erect, bordering on haughty, with his chin held high and shoulders back. His navy blue tie is perfectly knotted, conveying a sense of meticulous attention to detail. The white dress shirt beneath the suit is crisp and immaculate, emphasizing his polished appearance.His arrogance i
And the amazing part of it all was that the CEO actually had mercy on her compared to Stuart who was to fire her. As she thought about it all, she felt grateful and relieved that today wasn't going to be the last day working in QX group.When she noticed she was still in her though, she quickly snap out of it as she looked at Elmo fearfully thinking he would be annoyed at her trance state. Although Elmo did spare her but she still had to be careful in front of the CEO."Sir, thank you." Her knee was still on the floor as she thanked Elmo sincerely.Her anxiety was that if by chance Elmo end up feeling irritated by her sluggishness then he wouldn't give her any regards again."Em." Elmo only nodded with an expressionless face, before averting his gaze from her.When Stuart saw it, he turned to her and shouted. "Your presence is no longer needed here. Get back to your work." He held a stoic expression as he ordered.Seeing the look and tone of Stuart, the young lady didn't waste time l
When the man saw the change in Elmo's eyes, he became frightened but that was only for a while. He refuses to get oppressed by Elmo so he stands still acting as though he was not affected by Elmo in any way."Why should I listen to you?" He asked, before suddenly laughing. " Wait, have you forgotten who you are?" Mockery tone could be heard from his words.Elmo gnash his teeth hard trying to resist the temptation of punching the man's face. He breathed in and out, before finally speaking. "Of course I know who I'm. I've not forgotten who I'm. Even if I have forgotten everything, it's not your business to puke your nose in my matter." He made his mind clear as he glared at the man coldly.Before the man could speak up again, Stuart quickly stepped forward and spoke. "Mr David, it's surprising and unexpected that you came. Isn't it ridiculous that the boss of the fire scratcher came impromptu without any appointments or is that how your company works?" Sarcasm could be heard in those wo
His gaze fixed on Elmo, before moving to the empty seat opposite Elmo and sat down there.While sitting down, he didn't say anything, rather he was just staring at Elmo with an intense gaze wanting to check whether he could figure out something about Elmo.Few seconds passed and yet he wasn't still saying anything. Elmo's face grew more impatiently as he raised his voice with a questioning brow. "You're in my office so why are you so lost in thought? If you have nothing to say, then please leave and stop wasting my time." Elmo said harshly." Mr Brown, you can't just speak like this. Of course you must know that I've something important to discuss with you, otherwise why would I be here." He said with a straight and serious look. " Your subordinate should also be aware of my reason for being here." This time around, he turned to Stuart to confirm his words and when he saw Stuart nod in agreement he returned his gaze back to Elmo."Your subordinate has confirmed it." He muttered, whil
