"That night?" The words came back out in form of a stutter and his grandfather smiled slightly.
"Of course, you got into a misunderstanding with someone.
"For what I needed to tell you, you will need to get a suitor soon enough."
Immediately he spat out the words from his mouth, he coughed almost immediately.
His heart was racing fast. He did not ever think that he would want a relationship with anyone.
"Do you intend to live with me or get a house for yourself?" He inquired, snapping him off from his thoughts and switching off the topic swiftly.
He thought about it for a while. He would have loved to live with his grandfather but he seemed to be a busy man and would not want to disturb him that much.
It was going to be a really difficult thing for him to do. His head ran through different thoughts and he finally stopped on a decision.
"I think that I should get a place grandfather." He added.
"Just as I thought." His grandfather stared at him for a while and returned his hands to his pocket.
He seemed to be searching for something really important and after a while, he paused.
"Found it already." He noted, handling it over to him.
He stared at it for a while, flipping it back and forth and not knowing what it was.
It was black and made of some rare gems. But he could not tell its exact use glittering even though it was hard for the sun to find it's way into the room.
"That's tied to the business of the company. Use it to get the house. And you should go to the best estate company in the city. They have a lot of estates and I am sure that you are going to love it." He forced through a smile.
Ethan walked over to him and hugged him tight. Staring at his father at the other hand of the bed, he held his hands.
"He will be fine soon." He muttered with a slight sigh.
He was about to walk away when he noticed someone walking into the place with her heels digging into the earth as her feet swayed away gracefully.
Who else could it be apart from Victoria?
Immediately their eyes crossed paths, she bowed slightly before him almost immediately with so much reverence.
"Good day young master." He greeted me and his smile broadened.
"How are you doing Victoria?"
"I'm fine sir."
She walked over to his grandfather and bowed slightly before her for a while.
"So have you gotten the information that I wanted?" He Inquired.
He paused for a while to hear what they were talking about. Whatever it was, something inside of him that it was about him.
"No, I haven't found out anything here."
The words seemed to bring out a strange part of him that he had never seen before as his jaw stuffed into a frown.
From the way that her statement flew into the air, Ethan could tell that he was lying but he didn't get the reason that she would be lying to his grandfather.
Her head was slightly bowed and the only thing that she was staring at was her foot and she would not dare to look up at him.
"Are you going to answer me or just keep staring at me?" His frown deepened, even though he had not asked her any questions yet.
"I am going to do my best." She noted with her delicate voice.
"You better do it." He scoffed, pulling his gaze away from her.
He waved his hands for her to leave almost immediately and she turned around without spitting a single word out from her mouth.
Her pulled away as the fear of her aging master was way over the respect that she had for him.
Her feet made a clicking sound as she walked away from the hospital room as soon as she could.
Ethan followed her closely from behind and he noticed that Mr. Blakes was no longer at the spot where he had left him
"Where could he have gone to?" He thought he was head.
When he finally got outside, Victoria was standing beside a Rolls-Royce waiting for him.
He walked towards her and stopped, staring right into her eyes until he was finally forced to look away from him.
"What about Mr. Blakes." He inquired when he stared around for a while but still couldn't find him anywhere.
"Your grandfather already sent him a message to leave. I am going to take you anywhere that you want?"
His eyes were widened. From her look, she did even seem like someone who could drive.
"You are trying him?" He could not get over the fact that a Lady was going to be driving him when he still had hands.
"That is certainly not happening." He replied.
She tried to keep a netural face as her job was
"Young master Ethan, I am sorry but I can't let you do that, your father is going to be angry with me." She pleaded with him.
But this was something that she certainly could not accept from her this time.
"Then I will have to go and make my stance before he knows." He muttered, his feet moving around back towards the direction of the hospital.
But Victoria stopped him.
"Sir don't do that, you are going to get me into more trouble." His clear blue eyes were those of a baby and he just couldn't object this time.
"Okay. But just this once." He finally nodded.
They finally got into the car and they drove away as soon as they could.
"Thanks for taking care of my father." He appreciated her.
His eyes were fixed on the starry and she noticed how skillful and graceful she was with it.
"It was more than an honor, sir." She returned.
"Why did you have to lie to my grandfather?" He finally chimed in.
She pushed for a while, her eyes farrowed. She never expected to be caught in the act so fast.
Ethan had to be fast and skillful
"Could it be that he had some hidden identity?" She was lost deep in thoughts because no ordinary man who had not acquired a wealth of knowledge would be able to Know anything about that.
"Hmmm." She stuttered.
"He wanted to know more about your past."
"And you find out?" He inquired.
"Yeah, a part of it. I did but it didn't seem like something that you'd wanted him to know about."
He breath of relief escaped from his mouth as he placed his hand on his chest and appreciated her for taking the risk to save his face.
But he knew that would not be for long. He was going to tell him as the time went by but not now. He was already going through a lot and to know that his grandson had such a harsh past could lead to unpredictable actions.
Soon, they got to a point and he told her to stop.
"You will have to stop here. I want to go on foot all over there." He said pointing to the company just before him.
She nodded her head since there was absolutely nothing that she could do about it and they came down from the car.
They stood beside the car for a while as Ethan was searching for the card in his pockets
But after a while, something that he never expected occurred at that point.
It was beautiful and she was with her boyfriend, holding hands.
Memories of the past flooded into his head and he gnashed his teeth tightly trying as hard as he could to control his rising anger.
He could hear Marcel's voice rising to his hearing and the only thing that he wanted now was to slap him in his face.
His eyes zoomed past Beauty and he pushed his eyes away from her.
Victoria recognized the struggle since she already knew about his past.
His Ex
Beauty's eyes flicked to his side and saw the lady that he was standing closer to.
"Who could this beauty be?" She thought in her head, still staring hard at her.
Marcel was captured by the Beautiful Lady and would have worked if not for the scumbag that was standing right beside her.Meanwhile, Beauty could not find a place in her head to believe that he had moved on so quickly and her eyes farrowed, trying to process things in her head.It just couldn't be possible."I can see that you have gotten a new job haven't you?" She shot a stare at the lady who was standing right beside him.They could not recognize who she was but from the looks of things, they could tell that she was wealthy."I don't think that she realized what she has done to herself." Marcel chuckled."From the looks of things ma'am, I can tell that you have enough potential to get someone better than him.""Excuse you?" Her eyes farrowed and she clenched her fist. "I didn't get what it is that you are trying to say." She added, still staring right into their eyes."Okay. I guess that it's not long that the both of you meant but you just need to Know. This fool here is going to
She tried to regain her words but she had already noticed it. She tried as much as she could to keep her stare away from the beautiful lady but then it was difficult for her as her eyes kept on going backwards."So what are you guys doing here?" Beauty was the first person to inquire."Are you here to get him a new set of clothes ma'am?" She shot a stare at him.Meanwhile Marcel continued to stare at her until she decided to speak back to him.."Mr. Can I know your name?" Her eyes were farrowed but he was already filled with so many smiles that he didn't even notice.He straightened up, fixing the collars of his shift with a broad grin on his face"What the heck are you trying to do?" Beauty frowned at her and was about to stop Marcel but he had already given out his name."I'm Marcel, I'm a CEO, compared to.." He paused since he already knew that she knew who he was talking to."Do you know that it is rather awkward to stare at a lady that way? Coupled with the fact that you alrea
Marcel and Beauty continued to stare at them confused as they tried to comprehend what was going on in their head. "This certainly can't be true right?" Beauty thought in her head. Is her ex turning out to be a young master? It was even possible. "It has to be a mistake right? They might have mistaken him for someone else right?" The Words flew out of her mouth. Meanwhile, Ethan already knew that his grandfather had sent them but he didn't know exactly why. He was confused for a while and didn't know what to do as he did want them to know anything about being an heir. Thoughts Flowed through his mind from hundreds to thousands but out of all these thoughts, a solution was still not found. He drew a really deep breath, deeper than he had ever drawn all his eyes. Then he felt a delicate hand torching the side of his pants and looking down, he noticed that it was Victoria. Even though she did not spit out a single word from his mouth, the gesture seemed to say that he could help.
"Is that so, let's see how you are going to keep your job in that case." He frowned.He felt his pocket and could still feel the card there. Going over to the other end of the vast hall, he switched on a monitor, and a building was displayed on it with a price tag.His feet swayed over to the monitor as his hands gestured towards it."This is a four-bedroom apartment at a strategic location." His deep voice sped throughout the hall, hitting the core of their ears."Do you like it?" Marcel turned towards Beauty and inquired hoping that she was going to be considerate and say yes since it was somehow cheaper.But instead, she shook her head side by side to his disappointment."I think they would have more beautiful ones. And the color, I don't like it." She noted.She gestured towards the sales agent and he was eager to listen to her due to the first expression that she had given to him."I want a large duplex. White with a fine touch of gold. Do you think that you can get me something
The face of the manager twisted into a thick frown immediately. If there was anything that he hated most, it was fraudsters.They had the potential to crumble a business empire to its lowest. He had seen it happen before and apart from that, he has also dealt with a lot of them."And he is even asking for the multi-million dollar estates to choose from." The sales agent added...With the sound of that, his initial anger soon melted into stalk amazement."Was this scammer thinking that they were fools?" Though he had dealt with a lot of them, he could not wait to see this scammer with so much audacity.His eyes skimmed around towards Ethan almost immediately and his eyes farrowed into a smile."And I thought scammers at least have some sense of decency at least to fool their counterparts. You amaze me.""At least you have some sense than the piece of thrash that you employed here."And from the way that he just spoke to him, he could tell that whoever Ethan was, he was really outspoke
Everyone in the hall stood up from their seat without a second thought.Beauty could not believe what she just said before him."It can't be possible. He had certainly cheated." She repeated in her head.Meanwhile, the sales agent turned around towards the manager, still finding it difficult to believe."I think that the machine is having some sort of fault because it's impossible for the transaction to go through within such a period.Without a word, he rushed towards the machine, refreshing' multiple times just to ascertain that there was a fault. But then, it was still the same."Sir, you can't allow him to fool you this badly. I don't know where he learned that trick from but he is certainly a fraud?""And what do you suggest now?" The frown that was hanging on his face this time was vivid."I think that you should contact the financial department so that they are going to run a quick search."But before he could even finish the statement, the manager brought out his phone from hi
The expression on Marcel's face was transfixed with so much shock at the sound of the words.He had already checked his bank statement before that so how can that even be possible?Random thoughts ran through his head but he could not even think of a single one of them to place the thoughts on."What do I do now? Run away. What lie can I even come up with." He thought."I think there is a mistake here. He is a CEO.""See madam, there are a lot of broke CEOs so?"Beauty got the message almost immediately and she bowed her head not knowing what to say this time.Her face all washed up in shame seeing the expression that was hanging on Ethan's face and wishing that Marcel would come rescue her from the situation as soon as possible."I wished I had just allowed him to move along in the first place." She growled in her head."I think that she is right. There must certainly be a mistake somewhere." He finally summoned the courage that he needed to speak up, trying to hide the cold sweat th
She stood and was so speechless, burning in anger and rage. All that could go through her mind was how they could fix the mess Marcel had already gotten her and the company into.She stood there wondering and pondering over what could be done to take the company out of this mess; unfortunately, she couldn't think of a better solution. She angrily walked out on Marcel.Nancy ! Nancy!! Nancy! He echoed her name, but she refused to listen to him and went her way.Marcel felt like his world was gradually crumbling right in front of him.Beauty arrived home that day and found Marcel in an unpalatable manner, with a frown hanging on his face."What's going on?""Nothing, just a little bit stressed after the meeting I had today. He brushed past her and made his way into the bathroom to take his shower.When he had gotten out after drying up his body, he went to his study so he could think and plot out his plans on how to solve the company's problem, because so many would go down if he actual
