Stuart prodded into the conversation. "Who does he think he's to be disappointed in you. Is he qualified enough to say such a word to you?" Stuart's question was laced with malice, as he glared at Richard.Stuart wouldn't have been saying anything, if not because he noticed Elmo unconcerned gaze, if not he wouldn't have dared to say a word.Peter laughed at the quest of Stuart. "Please, help me ask him. I really need an answer because I don't know when someone like him dared to say such to me." Disgusting gaze was thrown at Richard.Stuart smirks as he glances at Richard. "Mr Richard, can you please answer how someone of your level dared to say such to him. Besides, why would you say that in the first place?" Stuart sees no reason for Richard to say something like that, when it was he himself that was supposed to be disappointed at himself for coming to plead from someone that he had tagged as worthless or useless.Richard rolled his eyes. "What won't I say that I'm disappointed in h
He could notice from Richard constant words, that he was always thinking he's still the way he was in the past. So it was better if he quickly reminded him before he would use those words to destroy their brains.Richard kept shut immediately. He didn't speak as he reasoned what Stuart had just said. Even though he didn't want to accept it, that's the harsh reality. In fact even Peter himself was ten times than he's now.Throughout all his years working as an acting CEO, he had accumulated some money which he had used to buy a house and the rest was being saved up, however ever since the frame case of a thing has started, he had been using those money he had accumulated for the past years to pay for the lawyers and also to feed his small family.Although his family was small, he himself knew how much they had to spend per much. For his wife's monthly medical bills, he pays a lot. For his house maintenance, he knew how much he yorks out every month so everything was really expensive an
Stuart was confused and couldn't. help but ask in perplexion. "You want to plant me in a place?" He couldn't help but ask as he felt totally lost.Elmo nodded his head, slightly."Yes, I'll be putting you somewhere for somethings." Start had a bewildered and astonished look on his face. What's Elmo saying? He didn't understand what Elmo had just said, as he couldn't remember them talking about planting someone somewhere.He was filled with a puzzle expression on his face. "What are you saying, young master"? I can't remember us talking about planting anyone somewhere." Elmo breathed in and out, before responding. "Yes, we never had that discussion because I only thought of it now." He was right, previously before Richard and Peter came, he hadn't made any plans on planting someone somewhere."Oh." Stuart gasps in understanding. He didn't talk on it, before averting to any question. "Where are you planning to plant Richard into? I don't even understand at all." Stuart wasn't able to
With the matter settled, the conversation shifted to lighter topics. The producer couldn't help but voice his surprise. "You know, Elmo, I've only ever interacted with your subordinate before. I had no idea you were the real investor. This project means a lot to me, and I'm honored to have you onboard."From the moment he had seen Stuart bring Elmo along, he had had a bewildered and surprised look on his face; it was really hard for him to understand any of the reasons for Stuart bringing Elmo along at that time. The initial person he had expected to come along with Stuart wasn't Elmo, instead he was expecting someone else. He knew of Elmo from the film party launch so how could he be expecting him since he was only expecting the CEO.It wasn't until Elmo introduced himself properly before he was able to extinguish the bewildered and surprised look he threw at Elmo before. Even Stuart's ways of behaving to Elmo further fueled and proved Elmo confirmation as the CEO and heir of the Bro
Few days after Elmo had gotten an approval from Richard on giving him a loan for his mother treatment, he was at work and the day was a sunny one, on that particular day, Elmo as usual was working, he was pushing a janitorial cart down a polished corridor, at that time, he noticed a vivacious woman named Ariel who worked in the marketing department. She stood out in a sea of formal attire with her warm smile and vibrant energy, and she seemed to have a knack for brightening up the office with her presence.This wasn't the first time he was seeing her, everyone knew her in the company as the most beautiful lady so how could he not know her.As Elmo swept the hallway, he often found himself gazing in her direction, secretly admiring her from afar. He had never spoken to her before, believing that someone like Ariel, with her beauty and confidence, would have no reason to talk to a lowly cleaner like him. Although he did gaze at her, it wasn't out of love, instead it was that of admirat
After Richard had finally recap the past scenario to the trio seated in the living room, everything became awkward absolutely and extremely silent.Elmo's mind was completely hazy. Up until he has just been kept in the dark and acts like an absolute dumb fool who couldn't detect what's going on around; it made his heart extremely boiled with rage and frustration.Peter eyebrows sunk. Just hearing Richard's explanation made him want to even question himself. In the past when they were still working there, he had never imagined or even though for once that the CEO would be interested in the beautiful Ariel, so hearing Richard confirmation and words made him doubt if his thinking then was so poor that he couldn't even connect Richard and Ariel together.If only he had known then, maybe by now Elmo's mother would have been saved, maybe then Richard wouldn't have been blinded by jealousy and would have given the loan to Elmo as planned. Even Stuart was quiet with no words from him. He was
"Hmph!" Elmo's brows raised as he snorted disdainfully. "You're really shameless! Starting from the beginning of your explanation to the ending, all I could detect is your selfishness and inhuman characteristics. You fully know that although you were in love with Ariel, I wasn't aware of it so why would you still go ahead and punish me?" He asked, but didn't demand an answer in reply. He only paused for a moment before continuing. "It's because of your selfishness. You went ahead and decided to punish me, even though you clearly knew about my unawareness towards your conceal love for Ariel!" Elmo felt completely furious as he yelled.He wanted to try and calm himself down after hearing Richard stupid and inhumane explanation, but he still couldn't bear keeping his anger. All because of his jealousness and selfishness he had somehow destroyed him at some point.Richard palm felt unease as cold sweat filled it. His eyes darted as he tried explaining himself once more. "At that time, I w
His perplexed and confused eyes darted as he asked. "About that sin. What do you mean by it?" He wouldn't believe that he had ever committed a sin towards Elmo.His mindset was just that he had wronged Elmo and nothing else, so hearing him calling him a sinner made his mind unsettled with doubts and questions.Elmo didn't want to make things harder so he replied. "You meant to feel you haven't committed a sin, but it's completely inevitable." He paused before continuing. "All you thought must be that you have only made just a little mistake which exaggerated into a complete problem." He wanted to continue but then Richard interrupted."I never claimed that the problem that I've unknowingly caused you is an exaggeration because I myself know what that little mistake of mine then caused." He quickly muttered, as he felt an unexplainable feeling of guilt.Elmo's gaze remained on him without saying anything for a while. He had mentioned the word exaggeration earlier because he wanted to o
