Arthur scoffed and turned his face away while twisting his mouth. "What exactly is he sorry about and why is he sick?" Arthur snorted coldly with his face still turned away."Your father misses you so much and really wants you back. We've been searching for you for a very long time and it's been as though you weren't in this city anymore. Please, come back home, Arthur."Arthur fell silent. Gradually, he turned his face back to meet Oscar's gaze."You still haven't answered my question. What is wrong with Gregg?""Your Dad has been depressed and was diagnosed with major depressive disorder. Sometimes he harms himself when he's very angry."Arthur's eyes widened as he heard the words. He swallowed hard and began to stammer."H… How serious… is it?""It's serious. All that has occupied his mind for a long time is getting you back home. You see, your father truly loves you and never stopped thinking about you. There's no time during our talks that he won't mention how much he misses you
Oscar brought out a wad of cash and handed it over to Arthur who took the money and chuckled. "You're giving me some money."Oscar nodded his head and from the corner of his eyes, he saw the taxi driver giggle which made him begin to wonder if he had done something wrong."Ugh, is there anything wrong with giving you some money? Maybe you should use it for your cab fare." Oscar suggested but Arthur refused and tried to return the money but the man would not take it back."It has left my bag and can't be returned so it's now yours. See you when you come around."With that, Oscar left the money for him and went back to his car while Arthur and the taxi driver watched him drive off.Staring at the money on his hand, Arthur could not help but start laughing while the cab driver giggled. Oscar must have thought of him as a pauper. The man thought that Arthur was managing because he was no longer with his father.He took a long pause before throwing the money at the front seat. "He said it'
"Stop the car and wait for me here." Arthur instructed and the man obeyed without any questions.Swiftly, Arthur alighted from the car and continued to stalk the girls. He got to the building and found out that the girls were already inside the elevator. Arthur took note of the floor number they were heading to while he waited for the door of the lift to open.A while later, he pressed the button and it opened up for him. Arthur quickly got into it and started towards the floor where the girls' flat was located. As soon as he got to the place, there was no one on sight. However, he was able to catch a glimpse of a door that was being closed at that moment. He started towards the direction of the door that was just closed and stopped before it. Arthur wanted to knock on it but on a second thought, he decided against it.He was going to leave that for next time.While Arthur made his way back to the taxi, he thought in his mind that it was best for him to give the lady a little space. T
The car drove off and left the lady who stood there for a while before making her way back to her car. After insulting and publicly embarrassing Arthur, what did she expect? That he'll welcome her with his arms open. Although Janet never expected any welcoming reception from Arthur, she just wanted to shoot her shot at him. It was seeming obvious that Bryan would soon be completely useless to her.Janet soon got to her car and drove off afterwards. Maybe she'll try her luck on Arthur next time, unless things turn around for Bryan.Meanwhile, Arthur's cab pulled over just outside the McCain's home and he came out from the car. The memories of the past years came running back to his face as Arthur scanned the place with his eyes.Gesturing to the man to wait for him, Arthur strode forward and stopped before the gate. His mood was sad and expressionless. As he stood before the gate, the security guard at the place scrutinized him."Who are you and what are you looking for?" The man aske
"I know the whole truth. It was all a plot to take you out of the picture and I fell for it. Although I've begun to look for you even before…""Shhhh." Arthur covered his father's mouth with his left index finger and stopped him from speaking further."That's enough. I'm here now and I understand everything that happened in the past. I've also forgiven you." Arthur began to wipe off the tears in Gregg's eyes with his hands. After he was through cleaning his father's face, he sat close to him and held his hand. "Your son is back and won't abandon you again. I'm also sorry for not coming to check up on you all these years." Oscar was almost moved to tears as he watched the drama between the father and son. As he could no longer control his emotions, he turned around and left the room, standing just outside the door.With a satisfied smile on his face, Gregg began to speak to him. "Arthur, I've not been able to go to work for a long time so I need you to take charge of the company now
Although it was strange to the cab driver that Arthur told him a few things about himself. However, he got more confused about the man he works for. Arthur was actually the owner of the huge house before him. He was also living in his own Villa and was pretending to be a Mall security guard. What was he hoping to achieve with the pretense? These rich people can be so strange.After glancing at the house one last time, the cab driver left the place with many questions in his mind. Unfortunately, he won't be getting the answers. Even if he would, then it might take time when Arthur had come completely clean before everyone.Meanwhile, the father and son finally arrived at their destination after being driven for more than thirty minutes.They alighted from the car and made their way in search of Shirley McCain's tombstone. After about a minute, the father and son stopped in their tracks. Lowering himself to a squat, Arthur wiped off some dirt on his mother's graveside while placing a
Still on his feet, Oscar scanned the place with his mouth open. Oftentimes, he would throw a glance at Arthur who was now sitting down. "Why are you so shocked? Let me guess. You're wondering how a mall guard like me could afford such a place. Well, a mall guard won't be able to afford it but someone like Carl Ramon could. I just found out that he's my grandfather and he made me his heir.""Carl Ramon." Oscar muttered as he went and sat down with Arthur. It was already late and he still had to make it back to Gregg. However, he needed to get the full gist.He was in the dark about that information and so was Gregg. "Wait, you mean Carl Ramon, the richest man in Vienna. How did he become your grandfather?"Arthur sighed and called out to a maid to get some water for them."He's my late mother's father. Unfortunately, he had never been on good terms with my Dad. But recently, he reached out to me, asked for forgiveness for sending my mother away. He then handed over all his assets to
"Jesse, I called to let you know that I won't be coming to work tomorrow. You can help me convey the information to the director."Arthur heard Jesse chuckle at her own end and inquired further. "Ugh, did I say anything wrong? I'm just making an excuse for tomorrow."Are you being serious, Arthur?" "I'm serious. I'm just telling you so it won't look like I intentionally refused to come to work." Arthur replied to her and Jesse started laughing at him."Why are you laughing, Jesse?""You've got to be kidding me. You, the big boss, is making an excuse of absence from an employee like myself. Is it not funny?"Arthur was silent for a while. Now he got the reason Jesse was laughing. As long as he was still working as a security guard, Jesse was his superior. It was only right that he let her know since he won't be available the next day."Jess, I understand your point but I'm still an employee under you for now. It's only right that I do the right thing, which is what I'm doing now.""Hm
