275: Is that so?
"I'm amazed by all your works Mr Dave. They're so inspirational" someone said."True indeed. If you ask me, I think you should be the one to win that award after all. You're the best candidate for it" Another said.Ray sat there watching them praise Dave. He didn't have anything else to say.But he casually sat there feeling devastated about the fact that Dave was also in the award event.He was scared that Dave had a higher chance than him. He was scared that Dave would take the award. He was terrified.But he knew he couldn't let that happen."Mrs Ray are you Okay?" someone had observed Ray's mood and then asked."I'm fine" Ray forced a smile."Are you worried about the video stuff?" someone asked.Now everyone's attention was on Ray again. Wondering what his reply was going to be.He smiled it off "No. Not at all..." Ray said."He isn't worried about it. I mean he already said that it was all a lie. It was all fake. He wouldn't do such a thing, so why would he be worried" someone p
274: New Attention
All attention was now on Dave who had entered the room.People were impressed to see him. They had heard a lot about him and what he has been doing.So it was something exciting to finally see him in real life."You're Dave right? The owner of the SALVATORE hospital?" One of the judges asked, impressed.Dave smiled as he approached the judge for a handshake "Exactly. That's me" Ray stared. He wasn't happy with what he was seeing.He wasn't completely excited to see Dave there at all. And he felt Dave shouldn't even be there. Because as long as he can remember, Dave wasn't nominated. He didn't see him in the list.So Ray decided to speak up."This is a gathering for doctors who are nominees in the award show. So I don't know why just anyone would be here" Ray said. Proudly.He wanted to drive Dave away.But everyone paused and then looked at Ray. They were confused. And Ray didn't understand why they were staring at him.Dave smiled as he looked at Ray "What are you trying to imply?"
273: Dinner Time
It was the day of the dinner.Ray had arrived at the venue of the dinner which was at a five-star hotel. They secured a grand restaurant for the event.Everywhere was already filled up. They had taken their seats at the round table. Discussing and laughing.Ray was already there seated. People there were doctors from different lines and places. They had all gathered there to eat and discuss various issues they had.A few judges of the main event were there too, talking with them all. They were all getting along.As Ray sat there quietly, he noticed that everyone was acting all strange to him.They had probably seen the news about him that was going viral. And most people were judging him.Ray had expected that from them. So part of his aim for coming to the gathering was to clear his name and fool them to his side."Hey" Someone had finally spoken to Ray about it "The news online, it's a lie right? Or is it true that you're really cheating on your best friend?"Now everyone was curio
272: Calming
Jane nodded. She guessed she'll have to leave her company for the meantime.Even though her company was already in a bad state. Stakeholders were withdrawing from the company rapidly and it was losing its staff.She had to leave it for the meantime and let her secretary handle it.Now she had to sacrifice it and support Ray. Because Ray had assured her that he would win the award by all means.And if he does win the award, he'll settle everything."Okay. I'll trust and wait for you to win" Jane nodded.She was placing all trust in Ray. The fate of her family and her business was in Ray's hands now.And he trusted that Ray would save them all.Ray too also believed that he would.And the Ray thought about something "And... I was invited for the pre Award dinner""And what's that?" Jane asked."It's like a dinner for all the nominees. Everyone that was nominated for the award that night will be attending the dinner. It's not obligatory though""But you'll have to be there right?" Jane c
271: Suspicion
"Everyone knows you two are close" Ray "So it won't be surprising that you had helped her with all that"With that, Jane stared at Dave. Curious to hear what he has to say.The others seated at the table were also curious to hear what Dave had to say.They partially suspected that maybe he had a hand in it.But Dave smiled "What an interesting claim. Then do you mean to say that Ms Anne isn't well off enough in her business?""She is a business woman" Dave continued "So it's no surprise that she has lots of connections to get what she wants"Dave added "So what makes you think she doesn't have any connections or any idea about the popular Company Mrs Lee runs and any idea of the deals she has on?"With that, Ray didn't know what else to say.What Dave said did indeed make sense. Ms Anne sure did have connections.And it wasn't surprising that she would know about the deal. And also that she would have her way to contact Mrs Lee as well."So.. you all are trying to throw the blame on m
270: An answer
Dave returned that night.He already knew how messy things would probably be at the Beth mansion. He knew there were reporters crowded there.So he knew he shouldn't just march in. So he waited.And when it was late at night, Dave made his way into the mansion.As he entered, he caught sight of the dining table. Everyone was sitting at the dining table.They weren't only eating, but rather they were eating while discussing the messy situation they were in. They were also thinking of a solution out of it.As soon as Dave stepped in, they turned to look at him.No one said anything, they just stared at him..Dave didn't say anything as well. He casually sat there staring at them. He guessed they were expecting him to come and throw a tantrum as one who found out that his wife had cheated on him.But Dave wasn't going to do any of that. He believed that silence spoke better. So he casually stared at them.Starring at them obviously made it seem like he hated them all and was too disgust
