Ethan stood outside for a while staring right into space and looking forward to what was going to happen next

Then he could see them from afar being dragged away as a dark smile hovered on his lips, waking gradually towards them.

"Guess who just got kicked out." He laughed his hands folded and seeing him, Marcel tried to control himself and made it seem as though it was nothing

Dusting his hands, he returned his gaze to Ethan who raised his eyebrow.

"And what do you think is going on? I am just being escorted out as a VIP that I truly am and nothing other than that." He responded but Ethan could already see through his lie

The way that he gripped your hands, it didn't say so I have to say." He responded and walked away from the place while Marcel gnashed his teeth.

He got towards the guards and was about to show him the invitation card that he got to see the manager

"Hey, this is not a charity organization, please step aside." He heard the person that was in charge of the queue saying making him furrowed his brow.

"What?" The words shot out of his mouth.

"Do I have to say it again? Or are you deaf?" He growled.

The words rang in his head multiple times as he stared at the security officer, trying as hard as he could to control his rising anger.

"If you don't want to leave here. I am afraid but I will have to get you out myself." He noted angrily.

He walked gradually towards him and tapped him hard on his shoulders making him fall backward

"I said go away and let me do my job."

"Just give me a moment and I will get the manager right here in a moment. I didn't want to do this but you are forcing me to." He was able to maintain his calm

But immediately after he spat out the Words from his mouth, the security officer burst out into laughter, clutching tightly to his stomach.

"Are you really for real right now? The manager? You aren't even worthy enough to clean the burst off from his shoes." He laughed harder

"And what if I can get him down, what are you going to do?" He Inquired

"I am going to do the same. Lick the dust off your shoes. But if you can't, you get to bark like a puppy." The security officer noted

Everyone around the place expected him to back out immediately but he clutched his hands tightly.

"You want a challenge, you can do it. Within the next five minutes, he will be down here." Ethan announced to the surprise of everyone that was around him but the security officer only gasped

He could feel his hands around the lightweight cell phone as he reached out to it and pulled it out of his pocket.

He typed in a message tagging it urgent. A call would have been most appropriate but he wanted to keep it as urgent as possible.

"Let's wait for him now and let's see who wins." He said and Ethan nodded his head.

Ethan expected him to be down there in a few minutes then, it seemed to be taking more time until he was left with just three more minutes.

"I told you, didn't I? You were only being delusional." He responded

Ethan clenched his teeth and could feel the anger flowing through his guts.

"I guess I will have someone to always do the laundry for me now. But we will have to work on those dirty clothes of yours first."

Ethan could not believe that such a thing could happen to him. 

But when he thought that it was all over, Mr. Blake came running from the stairs with sweat dripping down from the corner of his face.

But seeing the large crowd that was around, he whipped it off his face quickly before anyone would even notice

His swift eyes streamed around through the crowd in search of Ethan as he had seen that day but there he could not find him anywhere around.

His heart raced fast knowing that he could get into real trouble. The elevator that had been working fine all those while suddenly decided to get stuck.

"Sh*t, why did it have to be at such a time?" He mumbled out his frustration

Not knowing what else to do, he Walked gradually towards the security officer who was in charge of the gate but didn't even seem to notice the one who was standing right beside him.

"Good day, sir." The security officer greeted him swiftly with a slight but he completely ignored it.

"Have you seen anyone in his mid-twenties, with a finely cut jawline?" He tried to describe Ethan from the details that he could remember.

From the scent that hit his nostrils, Ethan stared upwards and noticed the man who seemed somehow familiar.

"Are you by any way Mr. Blakes?" He inquired.

Mr. Blakes turned over to him swiftly trying as hard as he could to overcome the dread that was already taking a toll on him.

"Young.." He was about to apologize but the security officer stopped him from doing this.

"Sir. I am sorry for this thrash right here. I was trying to send him off but he just wouldn't leave. I will get him away right this instant."

"Wait! What?" Mr. Blakes exclaimed but he still didn't seem to get the message.

"I am sorry sir. I will get him away right this instant." He said again with a slight bow, already panicking and he tried to chase Ethan away but it was followed by a Loud bang on his face.

"Are you mad or is something wrong with you upstairs?" He growled at the security officer who stared at him, still clutching hard to his face recking with pain

And confused at the same time, trying to process what was going on in his head.

"I don't understand Sir." He responded.

    “Impressive!! This is by far the best project you have come up with; I cannot believe it! How did you get this idea?“You see, grandpa, I am not the bad egg after all; I have been breaking my back working on something that would make you and dad proud.“I cannot wait to show Ethan this project; I am sure he will be so proud of you.Eli collected the documents from his grandfather’s hand; he did it in such a way that it showed that he was disgusted with what his grandfather said.“What? What is wrong? Do you want to yank your hand off? Why did you collect your document like that? Did I say something wrong?"Yes, grandfather, you do not even trust me enough; I did all of this myself and now you want to show Ethan for approval.“I wasn't going to show him for approval; I just wanted him to know what you were working on; surely he would be so excited too. “Why do you always do this, grandpa? Do you need validation from Ethan before approving my project? You all complain that I don't do a

    “Irish! I thought you said she wouldn't be here!“I know Vivian, but Keren lives here; you both cannot be fighting forever; I need you both to settle your differences. “If not for the fact that we are sisters, I would have slapped you really hard! I do not have time for this nonsense! “But Vivian, Irish is right; you cannot be like this forever; you need to forgive me and let us move on.“You killed them! I will never forget that you made me a widow! I want nothing to do with you; excuse me, I am out of her.Vivian left the house, ignoring Irish and Keren, who were calling out her name. All the excitement on Keren’s face faded away. She fell to the couch and let out a loud sigh of relief. Irish sat beside her.

    “Take me home. That was the last thing Ethan said before he was unconscious. Keren had to call for the help of the receptionist so they could carry Ethan to the car. By the time they got downstairs, the driver was already in his seat, waiting to move. They managed to put Ethan into the car, the receptionist went back to her work station and everyone was worried, wondering what was happening to their boss. They thought he fainted but the receptionist had to tell them that the boss was under a lot of stress and he needed rest. Ethan was in the back seat with Keren; he was sleeping deep. Keren couldn't get her eyes off him; she wished she could touch his hair so she could do that. Tears rolled down her face when she thought about her late fiance. She looked outside the window so no one would see her crying. Shortly after, they got to the mansion and Keren was left in amazement. She couldn't believe her eyes; she couldn't believe the edifice standing tall in front of her. When the driv

    Keren was so shy, she used to wish the ground would open and swallow her. Ethan was still fast asleep; he was oblivious that his grandfather was in the room. “You must be Keren, right?Keren tried to speak but she was stuttering and she struggled to compose herself."Yes, I am, sir.“Why is Ethan fast asleep by this time?“He is drunk, sir; he drank too much. “I see. Follow me.“Sir?“You heard me; follow me. Ethan’s grandfather left the room and Keren jumped off the bed and rushed to Ethan’s closet to wear something casual. She wore a white collar shirt and joggers. When she was done, she headed downstairs to meet Mr. Geftan. “Right on time, join me.Mr. Geftan poured Keren a glass of freshly pressed juice; he pressed it himself. It was a mixture of pineapple, watermelon and a little ginger. “This is so lovely, sir; I have never tasted a better fruit juice.“So tell me, what is it like working with Ethan?“I have no idea, sir. I only resumed today. I hoped I was going to have a bli
