Leo scratched his head sheepishly and answered,"She is fine grandpa. She is asleep." Wave squinted his old eyes at the youngster and asked in a gruff time,"Why did you snatch her away? She only just came back and needs to rest. You didn't—" "Grandfather, we are heading to the bureau tomorrow." There was sudden silence in this revelation. Emily looked surprised and a smile soon spread out on her face. Meanwhile, Wave was speechless. When the words finally sunk in his brain, he yelled,"You rascal! How long have you had your eyes on her? How long has this been going on? Do you really think you'd be able to get her to the bureau without consulting me first?" Leo cringed at the noise. "Grandfather, she agreed to it. I'm afraid she might run off this time if I don't hold her down. Sorry I didn't let you know before this." "No... This is unacceptable! How could you—" "Congratulations cousin! Remember to share cash souvenirs after the registration," Q's voice from the back
She turned around to go back to the office. "I'm issuing a divorce immediately." Leo pulled her back and informed her amusedly,"Mrs Ceo, you must be married to me for at least six months to be able to issue a divorce." Heaven's eyes turned red from shyness and she spat out,"You trickster!" Leo moved closer and bent low to whisper into her ears,"Did I also trick you last night to... Mmph" His mouth was immediately covered by Heaven who looked around cautiously and flushed endlessly. She was asleep okay. He was the one that took advantage of her! Leo laughed and she was forced to release her hand when his lips vibrated against it sensually. "We didn't go all the way... Perhaps we could explore further tonight and maybe make a baby to appease the Grampa Wave." "You told grandpa?" She shrieked with widened eyes. "He didn't seem pleased," Leo led her to the car. Heaven felt infuriated. "You... You didn't even... Argh!" She screamed when she realized she was lost f
Glasswares made clinking sounds as a loud laughter boomed in the hall every now and then. People were standing in pairs of two's and three's. Everyone is trying to build a social network. Leo's breath was disgruntled as he stood in front of the huge entrance door. He couldn't find it in himself to remain calm no matter how he tried. He could hear loud laughter coming from inside. He looked down at the rough but decent suit he was wearing, paired with black worn-out shoes that still looked presentable for tonight's events. This will have to do. He took a step forward and the doors flew open. He wasn't prepared for the sudden opening cause he froze a little bit. Everywhere quietened when the door flew open. People were anxiously looking at the direction of the door, wanting to see which distinguished business man or woman had arrived. Leo was sure that he heard loud gasps when he walked in. He tried not to feel nervous at the questioning eyes on him or waver at the scorching lo
Leo clapped absentmindedly with the rest of the crowd but his eyes stayed on the stage. The second reason why he is at the banquet tonight is to meet the mastermind of all these. He wants to meet the mysterious Mr Greene, the man that had single handedly led Greene's conglomerate to success for years. The man seems to be the only solution to his current problem. If he could just meet up with Mr Greene once, perhaps he'd be able to convince him... Convince him to help him in creating another PLATINUM. Perhaps the man will be convinced to help him in creating a new jewelry company. Just one word from the man, it can easily make Leo's worries disperse. Even though barely anyone knows who Mr Greene is or what he looks like because his conglomerate has always been headed by representatives, everyone actually holds that man in high accord. If Mr Greene is willing to sponsor his new business idea, he is certain that he would make another insurmountable feat in the business world and p
"Sir... What... Did... You... How...," Leo couldn't form a complete sentence. He just kept on stuttering till James explained,"I have been searching for you too." James smiled sadly,"I never even knew you were right under my nose. You don't know how long I have been searching for you Leo. I searched for years. Why did you change your name? Why did you change the name your father gave you?" Leo looked down, not having an answer to that. He didn't know what to say. James coughed and stood up. "We will talk about that later. How have you been Leo? This isn't what your father would have wanted for you. It's not even what I as your godfather would want for you," Leo didn't know why he felt like the man spoke with disappointment. So he is James Greene... The same Greene! And he is also his godfather... Leo could feel his head spinning. His supposedly godfather is the wealthy James Greene everyone adores. Leo couldn't describe how he felt at that moment. Excited? Stunned? Shocked? Ner
Three days later, Leo examined the spacious reception room, looking through the transparent glass windows and doors. He felt out of place, just sitting there, watching employees scurry to and fro. He tapped his fingers repeatedly on the seat as he glanced at the old, cracked watch on his wrist. He's been waiting there for the past forty five minutes but no one attended to him. He tried to approach the receptionist earlier but after giving him a quick look, she ignored him and he was forced to find a seat. Was this how his own receptionist used to behave to people? The thought slowly seeped in his mind. Did she use to treat people based on their appearances? Did she cast them out if they weren't well dressed like him? "Excuse me mister," A feminine voice interrupted the chain of thoughts in Leo's head. He looked up and saw that the receptionist finally noticed him. He stood up hurriedly, clutching the bag in his hand tightly. Not like a treasure was in it. It's just the cont
Leo didn't miss the opportunity to look around the floor as they walked to where he assumes to be Mr Greene's office. He stared back at the employees that pretended to be carrying out their various tasks, hiding how they were stealing glances at him. Jake finally stopped in front of a door which had a golden plated sign at the door. Leo read the three letter words out loud,'C-E-O.' Jake opened the door and walked in. Leo followed closely behind. "Here he is Mr Greene," Jake reported with a bow. James nodded, his eyes fixed on Leo. "You can leave. Ask one of the staff to bring refreshments later," James dismissed him. Leo stood by till the door closed quietly. "Why are you standing over there? Come here and take a seat," James pointed at the seats in front of him. Leo nodded and walked to the seats. Earlier, he wasn't actually thinking of anything else than meeting Mr Greene and informing him that he's made his decision. But now, he feels paranoid. What if Mr Greene has change
Leo sniffed and nodded. He wiped the corner of his eyes and read the remaining part of the agreement. The few things Mr James mentioned to him earlier were in it. He continued reading until he saw another baffling request in the agreement. "Grandfather!," He called out, making James turn to look at him sharply. James already knows why Leo called his attention so he just stared back and waited to hear what he had to say. "I have to bear the family's name also?," Leo sounded confused. James nodded. "After signing this agreement, you would be allowed to bear the family name. That is if you want to. Did you read it well? I am not making it compulsory for you to carry on my legacy. It's just a...," He let his words trail off. Leo blinked. It's just what? Why is he leaving his words halfway? "I understand," He assured James and then swiftly signed in the required places. He's gone through the agreement and has no other complaints. He has realized that everything written in the agre
