Miles made sure to listen to the complaints, concerns, and overall experience of these seven engineers who had been recruited by Dorian. He made sure to ask questions that better aid his understanding of where every one of them stands. After that, he began to logically give his inputBy the time the meeting was done, every single one of these engineers was left deeply impressed by Miles’s understanding of the business side of this, including how it specifically affects the work these people are doing. This ended up making them quite satisfied that Miles was the kind of person they would be working with.The engineers were left even more shocked when Miles promised that he would build them individual laboratories where they would have the freedom and resources to a breath length to work on their individual projects. This is a side from the fact that there will be a grand central laboratory for all seven unique engineers to work together in tandem. The seven engineers would practically
Jonathan watched as Miles exchanged words of pleasantries with the O’Brien family before continuing his words. “These two gentlemen are actually here to propose a romantic match between Conan and Lesley.”“Oh.” Miles nodded in understanding before turning to Lesley, seated on the other side of his father-in-law. “Lesley, I have to ask. Do you have any objection to this?”Lesley was surprised at this question at first, but then her expression softened into a smile. She nodded her head sharply, and she was deeply grateful that Miles, of all people, had bothered to give her the needed chance to voice her consent.At this moment, a gorgeously dressed woman walked into the private room gallantly. “Oh my goodness! Please, tell me I’m not late. You guys couldn’t have possibly started this romantic matchup already without my presence. I’m the son’s mother after all.”Miles was confused at first, but then he saw Conan acknowledging the woman as ‘Mom’ while Xavier greeted her with a sweet kiss
A couple of minutes later, Conan shared an ominous expression with his parents before he dipped his hand below the round table and retrieved a beautiful red bag.“Um, Lesley, this bag is for you. I hope you like it.” Conan handed the bag over to the young woman with a reserved smile.“Oh, um, thank you, Conan. I really didn’t expect this.” Lesley smiled at Conan, truly appreciating that he brought her a gift.Hearing this though, it inflated Conan’s ego, and he adjusted his leather jacket. “Oh, it’s nothing. The bag is just a little over $2,000. I figured that I had to give you the best to show my sincerity.”Lesley was not blind. She could definitely see the cockiness in Conan but eating its ugly head right now. She glanced at her father and Miles to find that they had also noticed the cockiness in Conan just now.“Wow, thank you.” At this point, Lesley was struggling to sound sincere, as she could tell that this was done to, once again, belittle Miles and make him feel inferior.Con
The three members of the O’Brien family stared at the phone screen like fishes struggling against dehydration. On the screen, they found three various colors of Hermes Kelly Rose Gold handbags.“Mom, what’s so special about those bags?” Conan whispered to his mother to see her reaction. Of course, he was also surprised when he initially took a look, but that was because the bag was visually stunning. It was clear to him and his father just from the physical appearance that this bag was quite unique.Laura glanced at her son before shifting her gaze to Lesley with incredulity. “Lesley, my dear. How much is each and every one of those bags?”Lesley tilted her head with a cute expression. “It’s a little over $2 million, but Miles found out that the designer was currently taking a limited number of custom-made requests for $5 million, and he decided to get three versions for me.”Laura couldn’t believe it. It all sounded way too absurd to her. Miles is a stay-at-home dad who can’t afford
The razor was really $20,000. The O’Brien family was stunned at what they got. This inevitably led them to believe everything else, including those bags, each costing over $2 million each. They still couldn’t understand how a stay-at-home dad, who was expectedly munching off of his wife’s earnings.Xavier chuckled nervously as he stared at the slight cockiness seeping through the expressions of Jonathan and Lesley. As for Miles, his intentions were canceled behind his mask of calmness. “Mr. Blaine, I have to say that I’m a bit jealous of you right now. I heard of the $50 million that you won at the antique fair in the city. At first, I wasn’t sure if it was you. I even assumed that they were talking about a totally different man who just had the same name as you. Yet, it seems they were really talking about you. With that kind of money in your possession, it’s understandable how you’re able to casually purchase those bags for your daughter and still buy these insanely expensive razors
That weekend, Miles, Lesley, and Jonathan showed up at the O’Brien’s household. The house was moderately classy but it wasn’t anything too special. This immediately confirmed that the family was indeed a middle-class family. But then, Miles was living in a two-bedroom apartment while he's a Trillionaire in realityReaching this point, Miles began to wonder if it was high time he moved out of that crappy apartment and get Lola and little Kelsey a lavish mansion that they deserve. This was long overdue.The two families settled down and they had an amazing lunch together, talking about casual topics to pass the time. Something major had changed about the O’Brien family’s behavior, and it was easily noticeable to Jonathan and Lesley. The three O’Briens were now talking to Miles with so much respect. In comparison to the previous setting, the high-end restaurant, the O’Brien family had now changed their attitudes regarding how they interact with Miles. This made sense though. Miles had be
There was a short and lean old man in a black tailored suit. Due to Xavier’s keen eyes when it comes to quality materials, he was able to tell that this suit was quite exquisite. In conclusion, the man standing by the door was definitely a high-class man.The old man in a black suit dropped his head slightly in a show of respect. “Apologies for the sudden intrusion. My name is Coleman Black.”“Coleman Black?” Xavier squinted his eyes with a frown as he stared at this man in silence. His eyes suddenly widened in shock as he finally recognized him. “Oh my goodness! Wait, you’re the Coleman Black?! As in Coleman Black, the President of Prismone Jewelry?!”“Oh!” Coleman Black had a slightly astonished expression on his face. “You recognize me?” He stood with a straight back as he readdressed himself. “I’m Coleman Black, the President of Prismone Jewelry Store – the elite-tier jewelry store in Dominion City. Nice to meet you.“Oh my goodness!” Xavier was lost for words, truly. Of course, h
Coleman Black cleared his throat. “It’s actually not that expensive, Little Miss Lesley. It’s simply a bit over $230,000.”Laura gasped at the price stated as ‘not that expensive’. Truly, the elite-tier citizens were on another level of existence. Their understanding of expensive and cheap was not something those in the middle or lower class could dare compare with.“Um, wow!” Xavier chuckled earnestly as he found himself struggling to look away from the dazzling cufflinks. “Jonathan, you are one lucky man to have that. More so, to have it delivered by the president?! That’s just….” He couldn’t find the words he needed to finish expressing his thoughts.The three members of the O’Brien family couldn’t help but think of the one person who was responsible for this unbelievable scenario playing out right in their eyes. They stared at Miles to find him sitting with the calmest demeanor, spotting a warm smile that would make anyone see him as the most peaceful man in the world. They really
