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
He had spoken with so much confidence that Max was automatically won over. That was all he needed from working with him. Being taken to the top. That high that even Leo can't even see him. And that was what this man here was promising him."It's a deal" Max agreed without hesitation.*******Within a few days of them sealing the deal about their collaboration, the news about it had begun flooding the internet. The news with different catchy captions had taken over the internet. Captions like.Abandoning Leo's company to make the right choice And evenOpening eyes to the real deal.And many more.All these were clearly Max's doing. Because as always he had made waves to take over the internet with the news showcasing how Leo had lost it all to him because of the reason that someone who was working with him. Some as important as Mr Otto is now on his side. And that was a grand achievement on his side.The news was trending as expected and Netizens were already talking. Talking down on
Although he looked all cheerful with a smile, Grandpa Ellison's expression certainly didn't seem the same. Because his tone was rather serious when he did speak "What were you thinking to let all these happen?"Hearing him ask that, he was more than sure what he meant. And he knew for sure that he was serious at the moment. He let out a soft smile as he leaned back on his seat "Nothing much... Don't worry about me""How am I not supposed to worry about you when something like this is bothering you? I mean I've seen all that's happening online and it's not looking good. People are talking trash about you and your status and company kept flopping. How am I supposed to keep calm about it?" He raised an eyebrow.Leo was calm for awhile as His Grandfather continued "How long do you plan on hiding it? How long do you plan on hiding the fact that you're the real son of the empire and all that belongs to you without questioning. How long are you going to let that bastard sit on a seat that is
The person who wanted to meet Max was already waiting for him when he arrived at the restaurant where they were to meet. There was a man sitting down in a VVIP room, waiting. And as soon Max walked into the room, he got up to his feet and welcomed max. They both exchanged pleasantries and sat back down. And as they did, they ordered some meals to go with their conversation."You wanted to see me personal even after sending me the invitation. Which was something new... so I was curious to know if everything was okay?" Max asked, raising an eyebrow while staring at the man.He smiled as he said "Nothing much. Well I was sent to meet you and invite you personally because we were sort of afraid that the invitation we sent you won't work. You've become a busy man so... it's easy to assume that you might not even have time to honour our invitation. So I came myself hoping to make you come and have you assure me to make it at least " He smiled.Max smiled as he sipped down the wine before hi
Days had gone by, and before one could even imagine it was already the weekend. And The day of the event arrived. Leo was already getting ready in his apartment. Katy helped him get ready as he brought the suits she had prepared for him."Are you sure you're going to go tonight? I mean I heard from Jakes that this event doesn't look too genuine. So I'm worried that it might not produce a lot of good outcomes. So I'm worried"she expressed.Leo smiled as he said "Don't worry about me, I already know what I'm up for, and I know how I'm going to handle it." he assured her with a kiss on her cheeks.She had no choice but to trust his words. He was always known to have his ways and do his thing. So she didn't stress too much about it. But rather kept his trust in him.Leo has gotten ready and left in his car. Jake was driving the car while he sat behind staring outside the window while admiring the night scenery along the way. Who would have thought that the journey wouldn't take too long
Leo stood there with the drink in his hands. Sipping it as though he wasn't the one being talked about. Even though it was already pretty obvious that he was the one. They were already looking at him and even max that was speaking had his eyes on him.Max had spoken to a point that he had looked towards Leo and said "...But nevertheless I'd still like to admire and praise his persistent spirit of always fighting ahead for a better future for himself.. that's admirable at least" He had added "And with regards to that, I'd like to invite him up to the stage for some drink" he raised a toast to Leo.Leo was now thrown into an awkward state. He didn't wish to go and therefore he was still standing where he was and not even bothered about looking in the direction of the man calling him from the stage. He had the drink in his hand, slowly enjoying his peace and drink that wasn't going to last that long.But everyone was already looking at him as silence befell the atmosphere. He wasn't movi
