031: Shut up, Ronan

Ronan “Elena!” “Calm down, Ronan. You called out to her for the past few hours, but we’re doing our best to find Elena wherever she is. All I need you to do is calm down for me, okay? We’ll find Elena for you.” Valerie had always been willful and mischievous, but no one ever told me she was a sweet talker. How could she promise me something like that? I may have lied to myself for a long time, but how was I to find Elena? How were we to find her? Keeping hope alive about her existence was the best I could do. How then could I tell Valerie to find Elena? If anybody were to find Elena, it should be me. After all, I was the one who pushed her away without listening to what she had to say. She lied to me so many times, but right now, all I wanted was to see her safe and sound. I would do anything for that. “Ronan, are you even listening to me?” How could I have zoned out on my kiddo? This battle had nothing to do with Valerie, and I wouldn’t allow her to spend her holiday searchin

132: Petition

Ronan “What is it, Elijah? Why are you here?” I told Elijah to focus on the work at the office, yet, here he was. “Boss, the meeting with the CEO of Chiq Royale is set for 2 o’clock p.m. You know it was supposed to be a meeting of the two CEOs. So I wanted to find out if I should just send an email to cancel it or…?” Oh, right! I totally forgot about that. I was finally going to meet the mysterious CEO of Grand Ambience today. How could I miss this because I became too weak? Damn that Conrad for keeping me here till the end of the week! I bet he’s just enjoying holding me in this damn hospital. “You could have called me on the phone for this, Elijah. Don’t waste my time. Why are you really here?” He couldn’t fool me with his facade. I could already tell he was hiding something. “Boss…” Elijah still hesitated, but I wasn’t having it. Whatever he had to say, he might as well spill it now. My look said it all, and he didn’t dare to tarry any longer. “Boss, the design team ma

133: Tardy people

Elena“Awwwnn, Elena. I really don’t want to leave you here all alone.” Nancy looked like she could cry right now. Tsk! Always so dramatic. “I promise to end this drama in the next three days. I will be back before you know it, okay?” Nancy had been complaining about leaving me all alone, as if I was a little girl who seriously needed protection. I told her to calm her mind and do her work, but she wouldn’t take my word for it. “Come on, Nancy, you make me feel like a handicapped person. Off you go. Shooo!” I tried to drive her away, but she captured me in a warm embrace, resting her head in the crook of my neck. Our closeness gave me the assurance I needed that she was with me through thick and thin. No matter what happened, she was there for me, and I was glad to know that. “How am I supposed to shoo without being concerned about you, El? You’re going to meet Ronan freaking Simpson after three years of avoiding that idiot.” Nancy looked so dramatic that someone may confuse her fo

134: It’s Ms Jones to you and your boss

Elena “I left here after the hour hit 2 o’clock. He wasn’t here when I stepped out, so they were absent from our meeting. By extension, Chiq Royale did not honor our agreement to meet for a discussion. Mr Assistant, please tell your boss that we would not cooperate with Chiq Royale anymore. You can excuse us now.” I didn’t even spare one more look at the young man who just stood there, staring at me as if I had two heads. “Mr Greene, you can…” I was about to drive the assistant away when Malvin doused me with so much cold water that I nearly froze from the realization. His words were a true shocker. The traitor… “Elena, please, calm down. You missed him by a few seconds only. Truth be told, he was right on schedule. He didn’t delay in the slightest.” What the heck! Was this guy my assistant or Elijah’s lackey? “What you’re trying to say is that…” I pushed further, daring Maalvin to repeat what he just said. I dared him to attempt defending Elijah Greene, and by extension, his b

135: Please don’t scare me

Elena“Malvin, eat your food. You won’t get satisfied by ogling at me, you know. Besides, I already know I’m beautiful. You don’t need to remind me.” I know I sounded shameless right now, but I had nothing else to say to my nosy assistant to get him to stop watching me like I was an animal on display at the zoo. “Well, I know you’re beautiful, Elena, but I would never dare to say it to you.” Malvin never changed. He was still the same guy who wouldn’t even take a second look at anyone who remotely looked like she belonged to another man. Even if you were being chased by another man, it was enough for him to back away and allow the person to have you. Such a spineless young man. Well, I guess it’s true what they say, once bitten, twice shy. At this rate, I would need to start setting up blind dates for Malvin, else, I wouldn’t see him get married in this lifetime. Tsk! The. Again, I couldn’t really blame him, after all.Malvin chased a young lady so dutifully back in college, but

136: Elena is in Lockwood

ValerieI couldn’t believe that the person I spoke to in that office was my proud and usually arrogant elder brother. Love could really bring the mightiest of men to their knees, indeed. Only a person with zero emotional quotient like Ronan would believe he had no feelings for Elena Jones all these years. Who was he kidding, anyway?After leaving my brother’s ward, I decided to solve this pressing issue without telling him about it. How could I remain idle, just because he asked me to? Ronan has always been a proud man who rarely asked other people for help. Even me as his sister never had the chance to do anything for him. Not when we were kids, and not now that we all became adults. However, for the first time in my life, I witnessed my brother break down because of Elena Jones. The sight was eye-opening. It was already annoying that Ronan didn’t appreciate Elena’s love, but he also pushed her away when she needed him the most. She had a terminal illness for crying out loud.I coul

137: The bow

ElenaHow could Valerie be here? She was supposed to be… Well, somewhere… Just not here. Who even told her I was in this restaurant at this time? When did she come back?“Val, are you the same person I met the last time, or you also changed like the others?” The question was at the tip of my tongue, but I didn’t let it out. I missed Valerie like the sister I never had. I might even say that I allowed Darcy to get so close to me because Valerie was rarely around. Even at the point when I moved into the Simpsons’ old mansion, and we were supposed to be under the same roof, I scarcely met Valerie. While she began to pull my hair, I realized too late that she was the same Valerie I knew from all these years. Just like Uncle Simpson, Valerie didn’t change either. She just stood there staring at me as if I was a statue she had to observe. It was as if she wanted to commit my features to memory. What! W… Why would Balerie be crying? I didn’t do anything to hurt her. How could she be cryin

138: Short-sighted homo sapien

Elena “So, tell me, Val, how did you adopt the culture of bowing? I was really shocked when I saw you do that. That was so unlike you. It was… Simply…”I couldn’t find the words to describe how I felt. I know it was weird, but I felt as though a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders when she did that. I didn’t know I was still so pissed with the Simpsons, until Valerie did what she came here for. When she bowed and apologized for each of them, I was suddenly reminded about all the painful memories I’ve been trying to suppress. At that moment, I realized I was still angry with them, even though I only tried to suppress it all these while.“Overwhelming,” Valerie concluded my words. She sounded so sure of what she said that I didn’t wish to burst her bubbles by telling her that I felt relieved in a strange way when she apologized on behalf of everybody. Not that I had plans of returning to the Simpsons, but her words made me realize that there was another Simpson who really felt for

139: Take me to her. Now!

RonanI had to do a lot to finally get Benson to bring my mobile phone here. I couldn’t believe my own housekeeper paid more attention to my old man than to me, his boss. What’s worse, I couldn’t even threaten to fire him. Since Elena left, the had never been the same. Even after giving him so many months off to spend more time with his family, he still returned sulking. I realized there was nothing I could do to make him return to the old Benson I knew. Since he silently Ames me for Elena’s departure, I had to resort to cheap tricks to get him to release my phone to me. In the end, he couldn’t resist the temptation of seeing Elena back in the house. So, with the promise of seeing Elena again, Benson disregarded my father’s instructions and returned my phone. I bet he missed my ex-wife more than I did, huh?“Boas… B…Boss… Boss… You won’t believe this.” Elijah rushed into my room with a flustered look. He was so agitated that I wondered if anyone was chasing. When I looked behind hi

140: Footage

Elijah Greene“Calm down, boss. Please calm down. I’ll tell you everything you need to know, but let’s not talk about seeing her now, okay?” I spoke to Ronan as if he were a child that I needed to coax with a piece of candy. Ronan Simpson couldn’t believe what he was hearing. His assistant truly treated him like a child, huh? I knew I might just start sending out applications for employment in the next minute. “Do you want to find another job, Mr Greene?” The boss’ words caught me unawares, and I even choked on my spit. Didn’t I just jinx myself. As soon as I thought about it, he said it. That’s some sick shit right there. I got a wife to wed soon enough, and I couldn’t bear to lose my job. Not now, not ever. My eyes bulged from the shock, and I couldn’t believe my ears. Wait. I might have gotten something wrong, because I don’t get it. “Did the boss just call me Mr Greene? What the heck? Isn’t this what people usually refer to as telepathy?” I mused silently, allowing my jaws tt
