C. Through The Waters
Oneil couldn’t believe that Essi would just dive to the waters for a mere ring that she declared to be thrown away. What has gotten into her? She successfully drew him to follow her. From the dock, where Essi has actually managed to run and dive from it's nearer side, he joined the waters too. Fortunately, the luminescence of the moon penetrates through the water and makes the white clothes of the woman distinct in his sight. He swam throughout and took her hand. But she was trying to get away from him to go down.
“Essi, it’s dangerous!” Oneil told her when they got both of their heads above the water. “And no way can we still find that ring now.” He kept holding Essi closer to him just to stop her. But Essi pushed him to escape from his hold.
“Did I tell you to find it for me? I’m searching it on my own,” she replied while walking back to the farther part of the seafloor. She’s hoping that the ring would wink with brightness at her. The moon is helping her. But the

Oneil has been swamped with the need to check the details of the foundation. He is near to accurate. But the lack of information on how the Mercator Group started hinders him from his goal. It would be a shame to ask Grant when Oneil is the one tasked to supervise the entire program. When he decides to take a break, someone is looking for him. It seems like he couldn’t get busier today. His mind is already filled with thoughts about what he has done back then. He’s a perfectionist. That same reason should at least make him relieved that he didn’t do anything wrong. But now, he’s doing otherwise. It’s because of Essi. He must have messed up big-time to get tangled with her. He doesn’t have enough confidence in himself anymore to believe that he didn’t fail at some point. It’s because of Essi that he finds himself strange these days. He’s been trying to find himself and that is the least of all the things that the Oneil Mercator would like to do. He discovered many thing
Look At Me, Oneil CII. Kitchen Date
There is something suspicious about where Oneil spent some of his money. Why did he purchase another house when he already has one for himself? All the documents are revealing his ownership of this property. He decided to visit the place only to meet the familiar silhouette of the woman he wanted to ask about the M&A. He was waiting for the right time to ask Essi because of the considerations hindering him. He cannot get impulsive on preventing the M&A without enough knowledge about it. “How did you get in here?” Oneil asked while trying to be calm. Every footstep he made towards her was loud enough to fill the hall. Essi didn’t startle. She turned around with a subtle sigh. She showed up the keys that helped her to enter. “You gave this to me so that I may come around.” “Now I see. I must have bought this for you,” he said coldly. His fingers were touching the tables smoothly. A speck of dust ended up in his finger. “Are you starting to get r
Look At Me, Oneil CIII. Angel Investor
Another day has come in the house of the Mercators. As if the confrontation didn't happen, Grant keeps on inquiring about the progress of the anniversary preparation. Where there are discussions about the business, the others resorted to not meddling and let themselves only listen to the conversation. This is always how their breakfast goes anyway. They eat about the business plans and drink the market strategies. "All the target programs are going smoothly on their progress. But in terms of the foundational aspect, challenges are meeting our way." "And what you should do about that?" Grant asked a warning that Oneil should not ask for help from him. "We will solve it right away, Sir." How else should Oneil respond? He can't make war with the old man. Grant has been clear in his instructions that he would not stop Oneil on how he would handle the anniversary and he would not care about the outcome except to see it successful. It is also a sensible thing

Jacques thought of visiting Leal Vêtement without another disguise.The shop owner still welcomed him. To his surprise, it was Essi who helped the owner to talk with the clients."Essi?" Jacques has the same reaction as Oneil.The woman beamed while looking at his attire. The shop logo is on the side of his suit, pinned fashionably. Instead of earning a surprise reaction from her, Essi even welcomed him and promoted the items to him."Why are you trying to s

Geovensia finally accepted the ever eluded invitation of having dinner again with the Doltos. She will meet Corrine again. But it doesn't matter. This meeting has something to do with Oneil. This is how she can help Essi. Since her friend endured it for her business, Geovensia has to pay back by enduring it for Essi's feelings."You're the owner of Leal Vetement," Oneil said when they got away from the dinner."And the closest friend to Essi," she added. "You know what? I don't want to waste my time on this kind of dinner. But I wanted to do this to ask you something."Oneil glanced at her. "It must be about Essi.""Do you hate Essi so much that you have to make it hard for her?""Why does it concern you?""She's my friend. And you're trying to make another engagement with my half-sister. I'm in between but I choose to side with my friend," Geovensia replied. "And how rude to hear a response from you like that. You must be unprepared for thi
Look At Me, Oneil CVI. Business and Personal Matters
Oneil has been wrapped up on monitoring the progress of the branches and the strategies implemented by the companies under the Mercator Group. As if his time has been fully extended beyond industrial purposes, his grandfather didn't forget about bargaining Oneil's time to uncover about Jacques' career direction. He cannot even plead to Grant to give him another time because of his ordeal with Essi."Don't wait for me to know it by my own, Oneil," his grandfather warned.Oneil pined before resorting to telling the truth. In his mind, it is too bad for Grant to have a grandson that is almost the same as him. He will insist what is in his mind. "Grandpa, will you really make that company suffer?" he asked but the old man didn't respond. "Jacques entered a small shop and became the sales manager. If that shop will suffer because of us, I'm afraid of the backlash that we might earn."Grant scoffed before smirking. Jacques surely knows how to make his way smart. This
Look At Me, Oneil CVII. Unconsciously Chasing
Many of the target entrepreneur participants already reached out to the Mercator Group for their confirmation to join its anniversary celebration. But there is only one shop that has not responded to the invitation yet. The other committee officials are persuading Oneil to drop the chances for that shop to join them."You know that they are the leading apparel shop. Do you really think that it is worth losing them?" Oneil challenged."But sir, we are the Mercator Group. It is disdain to our image if we will go down to their level just to drag them with us. They should be the one chasing our company.""No matter how great we are, we are still bound to wait for others. Just tell me if you don't want to wait for them. I will do it on your behalf." Oneil knows that they are getting idle on this important aspect of the anniversary. But none of them would respond to him. "Let's not waste our time. I will follow up our invitation to Leal Vêtement."The mee

His posture leads others to think that he must be Essi's bodyguard. He was wearing his cold expression. But when he heard Essi calling him, he smiled and immediately walked towards her."Did I make you wait for too long?" Essi asked."Just so-so," Victor replied while volunteering himself to help Essi with her bag and coat. Jillian nudged him that he should not do it since Oneil is around.Oneil waited for Victor to give over Essi's stuff to him. But Victor insisted on holding it. He is in a pose to affirm his authority yet, Victor just passed by him."I don't think he would like that," Victor replied while covering Essi with his arm.
