Leo had his Bodyguard with him so they had gathered him and protected him from those who were gathering him. They didn't let them get through while they led him safely into the venue of the contest. While he entered, all eyes were on him. The other representatives of the company were already there and they had their cold glares on him.
He was their greatest competition at the moment and they all knew that. Even he knew it. And all had wondered what tricks he had come with today because they were determined not to let him win.He Gracefully walked into the room and then went to the place where his sitting position was. And while he sat there, they were still looking at him.Jake had come in with him and he was sitting down behind him. And like others there, there were some guards who were standing behind him as well and keeping an eye on him as well.*******Not too long, another car had packed at the venue and this had everyone there cuThe MC had walked up to the stage after all was done and he began his speech. He had thanked all who voted and by doing so, he had everyone anxious for what was coming."With all said and done I'd like to make an announcement ...the official announcement of the winner of this programme " He looked at them as he spoke.He had begun speaking in breaks. Making the audience shake in anticipation and fear of what the outcome would be. All eyes were on the stage and their minds on what the outcome could be. And after he had taken his time to raise the stake of the tension amongst them....he finally announced the winner."Mr Max" He announced.On announcing the winner, max had instantly gotten up in excitement. He punched into the air with a loud "Yeah!"The people behind him had also stood up. They were all there to support max so they were cheering on his victory over his Opponent. Leo.The audience who were basically neutral about the whole situation clapped for him as well. They were obv
Leo stared at him for a while and then burst out into a soft laughter. One that was sure to leave Max confused for a while. He walked closer to Max who had already gotten confused as to why he was laughing and then took the award paper from Max and tore it into pieces.Shocked, max stared at him "And what the hell do you think you're doing? Have you gone nuts?" He questioned Leo.But Leo casually stared at him and signed "it's only a piece of paper, you could always go and take another from them. Tell them you accidentally tore this one..." He paused and stared at Max while he added "But when something more than a paper tears... What if it's you...then I don't think it'd be that easy to get another... Don't you think so too?" He raised an eyebrow with a smirk as he turned and walked away.He got into his car as he waved his hands through the window while saying "Congratulations on your supposed glory!" He drew off right in front of him.Max was burning in fury. He stood there with the
"I secured you a meeting and probably a grand deal with the popular businessman Mr Otto" Zane explained, excitedly.Max paused for a while with some thoughts running through his mind as he stared at Zane again "Him? Isn't he the one that has been on Leo's side recently....? I mean... he's the one that has been helping Leo all these while for his comeback and all...so why would he even want to have a grand meeting and even a day with me?" Max was skeptical about it all for a while.Zane already saw it coming. He knew he wouldn't quickly fall into it. He wasn't all dumb after all "He called and said he'd like to meet with you and talk. And he sounded positive so I believe it's going to be something that would benefit us" Zane had to do his part of setting up the meeting. It wasn't in his power to do more.Max thought for a while as he casually nodded "Okay then. Set up a date for the both of us to meet up and talk. Maybe tomorrow. I'd like to see what he has to say as well. It's an oppo
Max was still leaning back, trying to stay calm as he sipped down his drink. "All I can say is that I'm curious to see how you're gonna do this... It's gonna be a big and wild one. But I'm curious to see how you're gonna pull that off for me"Me Otto smiled "I just hope to get your assurance that as soon as I do it . You're gonna agree and consider my terms of working with you." he smiled.Max nodded without a second thought "You have my words. If you do as you've said... Then I'll certainly have you in consideration and probably agree " He said.With a smile, Mr Otto got up to his feet "Then I'll be taking my leave now. You'll be getting what I promised soon. So be on the lookout " He said as he walked out of the VIP room, leaving Max there.Max sat there with endless thoughts. Hopefully thoughts. He hoped what Mr Otto had promised was true because if it was so .. Then all he had dreamt of would easily and quickly fall into place! He would be On top of the game without any chance of
Keeping up with his part time job was a hard one. Especially When the boss doesn't even appreciate him for his effort.Being a cranky person in general, Leo's boss doesn't even miss a chance to talk down on him for every little thing."Why are you standing there doing nothing? Haven't you cleaned up the plates to be used to serve the customers?""Why are you dilly-dallying? don't you know you should hurry up and serve the Customers?"Leo couldn't tell exactly why it was so, but it already seemed that His boss had an automatic hatred towards him.Always wanting to exploit his efforts to do more and still bash him for making the slightest mistake of all. Leo didn't seem to be the type to bother talking back easily..He lived with it.The sound of the shattering plates from the kitchen was something which had now gotten the attention of his boss.Shocked, his boss had rushed over to the kitchen to see what it was all about now.Leo was on the phone and what he was hearing over the phone
Leo stared at her.. He didn't seem to like where this was heading to, Certainty because he felt that something was off.Having stayed with his Mother-in-law for while now.. He hadn't once had a pleasant memory of her..This woman sitting before him was a thorn to him and his Married life in multiple ways.He had only come to her out of his desperate situation to save his foster mother after all."And what is the condition you're trying to impose?" He questioned as Her mother in-law smiled.Her Mother in law had got out a file and pushed it across the table for Leo to see. It got to Leo's front as he slowly picked it up.Reading through the content, he was simply shocked at what he saw. "This is...""Yes it is. Divorce my daughter and get out of our life..Then I'll happily give you the money"Leo slowly looked up at her. Although he had known her for being a Thorn, this was actually the first time she had made such baffling request openly to him."And what's this supposed...""Can't you
Leo was beyond speech. He couldn't believe the level of being shameless which his Mother-in-law had ascended to. He had known her to be a cheap person, but not certain cheap to this level.This woman was literally selling her daughter for money and wasn't even wavering at the thought. Rather she was proud of her decision."I can then rest assured once it's you my future son-in-law. Unlike someone who Obviously can't offer anything solid, I know you can certainly take care of us. All that's need to be done is marrying off my daughter to you and all is done! So you... Don't waste my time and sign this""What do you think you're saying.. Ma'am?" Leo was too shocked at her mentality that he had to ask "Don't you know that you're selling off your daughter like this?"Leo was too offended that he continued lecturing her "This isn't right Ma'am. How can you do such a thing like scooping so low to selling off Your daugher all because of money? That's a disgusting thing to do"Mrs Watt now See
Leo had Called the line which didn't hesitate before someone picked up from the other end of the line."Hello? Who is this?" The male voice from the other end of the line questioned. Leo recognized the voice without hesitation.It was The senior butler of his Grandpa. He couldn't believe he was still working under his grandpa till this day..How loyal, he thought."Hello, It's me." He said Causally."You are...?" The senior butler was trying to understand who it was."Leo. The Grandson of Grandpa Ellison" He explained as the senior butler almost had his jaws dropped!He couldn't believe whom was calling him that he almost went down on his knees in shock even without Leo being presently there."Oh dear! Young Master! You actually Called. Oh gosh I never imagined you would." The senior butler was stunned. He never imagined he'd call back and therefore wasn't ready for this.But on the end while he was overjoyed by him calling, The senior butler hoped he was calling with an expected good
