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."
Astonishment filled her eyes as she stared at the many alerts coming on her phone."$10,000!""$15,000!"An alert from Ben also showed.He sent the sum of $40,000!His amount was the hugest Hearing everyone praising him for giving Elvor such an amount, he became even more happier.His eyes turned to the calm Elmo as he said in a loud voice. "Everyone has sent their money to Elvor, why don't you send yours." He smirked,Seeing Elmo still looking calm, he said even more. "It's okay if you don't have anything to give, afterall her Elvor must be rich." A sarcastic remark was filled in his words as he meant since Elvor was poor he couldn't give her anything.Everyone quickly looked through his words and noticed that Elmo was the only man at this party who hadn't given her anything. They all felt disgusted with his present even more."He doesn't have anything to give to her?"They wondered how someone could be so shameless to attend a party without any intention of bringing a gift.Seeing
Elmo was so shocked seeing Elvor hugged him, but then he recovered from the shock and slightly moved back."What's that for?" He asked, sternly."C'mon, we are friends now so what is bad in me hugging you, I was just happy about the gift. It's just a friendly hug. She quickly said, seeing everyone totally misunderstanding her action."Oh. You deserve to be happy, it's your birthday gift." Elmo said and Elvor nodded with a smile." I have to go now." He said and just as he was about leaving with the rest, Elvor spoke again."The party hasn't ended yet, it just began so wait till it's over." Her poopy ears said with high expectations in them and Elmo couldn't refuse less.."Okay sure." He said as he sat back on the chair."You may now go, I'll go back home by myself." Elmo said to Stuart and the bodyguards and they all left.Ben on the other hand was even more furious as he saw Elmo sat back. He really doesn't know why he wasn't able to disgrace this man. He clutched his hands as his co
"Smack!"Tension hung in the air. The atmosphere was fraught with shock as everyone stood still. The weight of the slap lingered in the air, a palpable pressure radiating through the space. Jane's hand instinctively flew to her reddening cheek, her eyes wide with shock and hurt.The realization of her being slapped, made her shocked and angry."What the hell did you just do, Elvor?!" Her soft but loud voice asked, looking frustrated."You're asking me? C'mon ask yourself that stupid question! You come to my party uninvited and you even have the effrontery and audacity to insult my friend!" Elvor said, looking angry.A confused frown came on her face. "Your friend? This poor man is your friend? Elvor, you must be joking." She said, totally confused."Yes, he's my friend.""Besides, even if he's your friend, that doesn't mean you've to slap me. I'm your sister for crying out loud." Jane said, looking furious.A stern expression came on her face. "Point of correction, you're my step sist
Looking at his completely calm face made her even more frustrated and scared. She knew that Elmo wasn't the one that had her company bankrupt; it was just mere coincidence that all this misfortune happened when he said so. Knowing that nobody heard her conversation on the phone, she looks a little relaxed because she doesn't know what would have happened if they heard her conversation.Elmo shrugged. "Really? Then why don't we see your last contact info." Just hearing those words made her heartbeat at an increasingly high speed. She wondered if today was going to be the day she died out of frustration._Just why is this guy trying to destroy and humiliate me completely_"What are you really trying to prove, you poor thing? I'm not showing you anything!" Her pretty face was full of anger at the moment."Does that mean Ms Jane is hiding something? After all she said it was a friendly call." He said with a light smirk.Jane: "..."_I'm sure going to kill this man if he doesn't stop tal
There was a sudden knock on the office door and Elmo said,"Come in." And just like that, Stuart walked in with a lot of files in his hand.Getting inside the office, he dropped the files on the table as he spoke."Sir, these are the files from the pending and ongoing project. The progress of the project hasn't been encouraging due to the fact that the old man stepped down as the CEO but now that you're here you can surely look into it and begin work." Stuart said."Sure, I'll check it." Elmo said as he quickly put his head back into his work.Time flew within a twinkle of an eye and it was already evening with Elmo still working on the files. Just then someone walked in without knocking."Hey, Elmo, how have you been doing?" Peter said with a large smile visible on his face as he pounced on Elmo happily."Remove your hand from me, why are you smiling like this?" Elmo asked as he tried removing the hand that was already placed on his shoulder."Elmo, you're such a fun spoiler! Why are
