Although they both already agreed to go meet the CEO, they were still faced with a big dilemma and that's how they will leave the house. Those workers were still outside shouting and they don't look like one who is planning to even leave.Lucas gave an exasperated sigh as he leaned his shoulders on the couch looking frustrated. "How are we going to leave this mansion?""I don't know either." Lisa replied, looking exhausted and tired. It was apparently evident that they were both looking lost, including the two children, who looked as though they wanted to sleep."If we can't leave here, we won't be able to meet the CEO, talk less of saving ourselves." Lucas reminded her."Yes yes, I know that's why we need to figure out a way to get out of here."Lucas stood up and peeped through a hole to check those outside again. He could notice from their looks that they have no intention of leaving without seeing him. After peeping for a while, he returned back to his seat, with a stressed look.
Lucas felt completely stressed and embarrassed looking at his wife's shameless attitude. It annoys him, even more seeing the disdainful look from everyone."Lisa, just stop this." He dragged Lisa away from the security guard, with a frustrated and annoyed gaze.Lisa glared hard at Lucas for stopping her from teaching the guard a lesson. "What's it? Why did you stop me from dealing with this wrecked and disrespectful guard?" She shouted with her vein popping in anger. In all her life of living as Lucas' wife, she has never for once been disrespected but now, one worthless idiot dared to do that. Her ego would only be satisfied if she teaches him a lesson.Those watching the scene, stood looking at the couple with different expressions, some held a ridiculed gaze while others gave an annoyed gaze. They wondered what Mr Lucas was doing at the QX company, instead of thinking of how to restore his reputation. Their ridiculous gazes were even more intense seeing how Lisa was opening making
Their gaze at that particular direction was brimming with astonishment, as they fixed their eyes on the extravagant car that was parked just a short distance away from them. They all yearned to catch a glimpse of the individual who possessed such a magnificent car. Everyone: "..." *He or she must be very wealthy* they all thought inwardly as they waited for whoever was in the car to step out. They watched as a man stepped his foot down, and at last, he lifted his head for them to behold. They all held their breath as the aura emanating from the man was overpowering, and his piercing stares felt as if they were peering into the depths of their souls. Curiously, the mesmerized onlookers felt that he wasn't gazing at them; rather, his gaze was fixed in another direction, prompting them to follow his line of sight and deduce that it was focused on Stuart. They pondered over how the man was acquainted with Stuart. "Young… young master." Stuart greeted Elmo. He was also a bit uneasy as he
Despite their embarrassed and angry state, Mr Lucas managed to give a smile, as though he didn't quite understand Elmo's words. "Mr CEO, it's not really what you think. All those scandals and rumors are partially not true." He tried his best to suppress the anger brewing in him. If not for his problem, he wouldn't have even bothered standing in front of him, talkless of pleading to him.Before Stuart even introduces Mr Lucas to him, Elmo has already figured out his appearance from the investigation he did from the beginning so all this act of not knowing him was just a pretense as he wanted to have a little bit of fun. He wondered how Mr Lucas could be so dumb as to ruin his high prestige reputation with just a small mistake from his side, which is selfishness and cunning ways. From what he has heard and investigated about Mr Lucas, he knew that he was definitely a great business man, but everything took a bad turn for him when his business had a setback and he was foolish enough in
The scowl on Elmo's face shows that he was very angry. Mr. Lucas scratched his head in bewilderment as he muttered curses about his wife in his mind. He shouldn't have even asked her to join him; now their problem seems to have doubled just because of her.Lisa, who was so absorbed by her anger, didn't notice the look on Lucas at the moment, but when her eyes mistakenly glanced at him, she saw the piercing stare thrown her way. It was at that time she quickly regained her composure. She knew she had really spoken rudely to the CEO, which was indeed wrong, but how could she control her anger when Elmo is asking for the few money in their hands.She exasperated as she wiggle her hands to cool her fury temper. It sure won't go well for her, if she dared go against the CEO in such a situation. Although her temper was now in check and she wasn't acting furious again, that doesn't mean the other person in front of her has cooled down. Elmo still held that cold and murderous intent in him.
After a while of screaming in his mind, he finally got his senses back as he realized it was extremely useless crying over spilled milk."Are you saying, you won't be helping?" His tone shows sadness and loss."Yes, I won't be helping you." Elmo said, flatly ignoring the sadness in his voice. Even with the solemn expression on Mr Lucas' voice, Elmo didn't care in sweet talking his words.Hearing Elmo's reply, a sudden burden fell on Mr Lucas, as he tried finding his voice to plead. At this point he won't care if he had to kneel just for Elmo to help him. Even Lisa, who was silently cursing Elmo, froze when she heard Elmo's words. Her whole expression was filled with panic. If the CEO was unwilling to help them, then they are ruined beyond repair.She immediately rose on her feet, despite her aching body. Right now, all that was in her mind was to plead to the CEO just to help them.She just can't imagine herself no longer living a luxurious life. "Please sir, you can't do this to us.
It was Stuart who just badged in, as he broke the news to Elmo. Anxiety and distress could be utterly seen in his eyes.Elmo's face changed as he questioned. "What's the news about?" Although he needed an answer, he didn't show a distressed look. His composure was still as calm as ever, when he asked.Stuart breathed in and out before speaking. "News about how you ridiculed and insulted Mr Lucas and his wife has spread round. In the tape I listened to, I figured out that, the part where you were only insulting Mr Lucas and his wife was only heard, the other part seems to have been scrapped up to make everyone misunderstood and start blaming you. When the tape got released, I wanted to look for a while to have it deleted but I felt I needed to ask for your permission."Elmo lolled his body on the chair, as he spoke in a more relaxed tone than Stuart. "You did the right thing by asking me first before doing anything. If you had cleared the tape immediately after its release, then people
" Are you saying I should send a message to him?" Stuart asked, to be completely sure of what he heard." Yes, do send him a message." Elmo replied."Alright," Stuart nodded and left the office.When Peter saw that Stuart had left, he relaxed his body on the chair opposite Elmo.A smile cropped on his face. "Wow, Elmo, you're becoming more ruthless. I love it. If the reporter didn't come as required, then he should surely greet a good day to his job. People like him who like to destroy people's image just like that shouldn't be spared." Elmo didn't reply to him with words, instead he nodded. He wasn't taking this with joy, but Peter seems rather completely happy like he's the one giving the punishment.Peter wasn't upset with Elmo silent, instead he continued talking. "Elmo, don't you realize that you have changed completely from before." He paused for a while before continuing. "Before your temperature and aura was just like an ordinary person but now your aura seems different and p
