Antonio's breath caught in his throat, and he stuttered, "What... what?" As he gazed at the screen, his eyes narrowed, leaving his mouth slightly agape in surprise. Despite having a clear view of what was displayed, his eyes widened as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.Clara, observing Antonio's reaction, rushed to his side, her curly hair swaying as she curved her neck towards the screen. Her expression was vastly different from Antonio's; rage consumed her face as she came to the realization that her man had been lying to her all along. Indeed, that was precisely what she saw, and her reaction was entirely understandable.Confidence surged within Tyler, evident in the smirk that adorned his face. "How do you like my present?" he asked, taunting Antonio, whose eyes now blazed with anger at the smiling Tyler.Clara's emotions were overwhelming, and she couldn't hold back her frustration. She covered her face with her hands, wishing the ground would open up and swallow her who
“You’ve just lost your job as well,” Tyler gently let out into Antonio’s ears.Antonio’s face flared up, his brows curved in shock. Tyler, on the other hand, stood stoic, but a sweet smirk played on his face.“What?” Antonio stuttered, nearly choking on his words. It was as though his whole world was crumbling in the twinkle of an eye. Indeed, that was the case, as his job was not just a means of income, but his entire life, and now it was slipping away.“You heard me right,” Tyler grinned and adjusted his suit, casting a lingering glance at Clara, who still clung firmly to her desk, awestruck.“But… but…” Antonio stammered, hastily unhooking his necktie. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and his once bold and confident demeanor now dissolved into uncertainty.“Mr. David, please make sure to help eject him from this firm,” Tyler slyly said to the Manager, who nodded his head in affirmation. “I do not want incompetence here,” Tyler added.“Please, please, I beg you,” Antonio fell
After the tumultuous events at the firm, the next day had arrived, and it marked the moment when Tyler was scheduled to depart for Italy. As he sat on his bed, he couldn’t help but reflect deeply on his decision. Doubt crept into his mind, questioning whether his desire to go to Italy was truly worth it, or if his mother had been right all along. A heavy sigh escaped his lips, and he nervously licked them, contemplating everything that had transpired. Nevertheless, Tyler stood up and proceeded to get dressed, determined to move forward regardless of the conflicting thoughts swirling in his head. He had made up his mind, and there was no turning back.In the midst of Tyler’s preparations, there came a soft knock on his door. He was partially dressed, with his suit laid out on the bed. “Who is it? You can come in,” Tyler called out, sinking back onto the bed with his hands covering his head. A surge of emotions washed over him, causing an unsettling pang in his head as he tried to make
Tyler sat quietly in the plane, his mind filled with contemplation about the recent conversation he had with his mother. He couldn’t shake off the feelings of disappointment and frustration, as she had blatantly refused to accompany him to Italy without providing any reason. Leaning against the side of the plane, his eyes gazed pensively at the vast expanse of the sky as they soared through the clouds.Throughout the journey, Tyler found himself grappling with conflicting thoughts. Part of him had second thoughts about the entire trip, wondering if he should have reconsidered his decision to follow Lady Guila to Italy. Yet, an unwavering desire for wealth and prosperity urged him to continue on this path, hoping that the journey would lead him to the fulfillment of his dreams.As the night sky embraced the airplane, a mesmerizing display of stars adorned the firmament, casting a celestial glow over the cabin. Tyler noticed a cup of wine placed beside him, but he couldn’t muster the de
A knowing smile played on Lady Guila’s lips as she responded, “Sometimes, people’s pasts leave marks on them that can be sensed by those who have experienced similar pain and heartache.” Her words were cryptic, and Tyler felt a mix of curiosity and trepidation. “Anyways, all I am trying to say is that you should focus on yourself and while you are at it, you are going to get pulled down by those that hate you and by the ones you love and care about. They might love and care about you as well and may think that their opinion is right but they’d be wrong because a person’s opinion is only good for him at some point, and not someone else because your thought might not apt because you might not be able to fit in the person's shoes to give an advice” lady Guila said calmly. Lady Guila’s words of wisdom resonated deeply with Tyler as he calmly listened to her advice. Her perspective on focusing on oneself and not letting the opinions of others dictate one’s path struck a chord within him.
Tyler continued to gaze at the photograph with a mix of curiosity and confusion evident in his furrowed brows. He was captivated by the image, which seemed to hold some hidden significance that eluded him. With a slow exhale, he reluctantly tore his gaze away from the photo and turned back to his Eve, where he settled down. As he reclined, his eyes caught sight of his friend Ron, who was also staring at the picture with an enigmatic expression, much like a dragon lurking in the background of a distant realm. Tyler was at a loss for words, struggling to decipher the emotions evoked by the photograph.Unable to comprehend the enigmatic scene portrayed in the picture, he found himself repeating the words softly, as if the act of verbalization might provide some clarity. Alas, the mystery remained unsolved, and he felt a fleeting sense of childlike bewilderment before swiftly regaining his composure, locking his emotions away like secrets in a hidden vault.Just as Tyler was trying to gat
A moment of silence ensued. It was as though he didn’t know what to say. Tyler didn’t know what to say to her. He wasn’t expecting her to pick and her picking caught him off guard. “Have you changed your mind?” She asked with a straight tone. It was obvious that she didn’t have time for little chit chats. Tyler took a moment of silence, held his breath before he gently released it with an answer coming out. “Mother, I am in Milan”.Tyler said gently, with his eyes closed. He waited for her next line of action. The only thing he heard was silence. A very loud silence. “Mom, please I…” Tyler was still about explaining why he wanted her to come but before he could, she dropped the call. Tyler was talking to himself . He stared at the phone and a prick of emotion tingled in his chest. He gritted his teeth in slight anger. The abrupt end to the conversation left Tyler in a state of disarray. He had hoped for a chance to explain himself, to bridge the chasm that had formed between them
With a heavy and confused heart, Tyker mustered the courage to extend his hand for a handshake with Andrea. However, Andrea didn’t even bother to offer his other hand in return, but instead, he shot Tyker a bewildering and rather disgusting stare. It was as though he was irritated by Tyker’s mere presence. The way Andrea stared at Tyker made it seem like he had stumbled upon something utterly repulsive on his hand. Feeling self-conscious, Tyker looked down at his hand, quickly checking to ensure there was nothing remotely disgusting on it.“I just moisturized my hand,” Andrew said with an air of calm disdain in his tone. “I’m sorry, I can’t accept a handshake now.” Tyler felt a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, but he managed to conceal his true emotions behind a forced smile. After all, he had faced far more demeaning insults from people than the one he received from Andrea.With a nod of his head, Tyker settled back into his chair, feeling a mix of confusion and disbelief washing
