Look At Me, Oneil CXCIX. Please Don't Leave Me
Was it the absence of the house rules or the strong tumult among the reactions of the people that the silent issue about the buyout of shares got revealed in the most untimely manner? Throughout the meeting, Grant was confident in his stance that his issues with the Doltos will not prevail because his hands come clean of it. He could himself get pale and his breath is getting heavier. For him, it was the Doltos who did it.“What right do you have to tell us what to do? Don’t tell me that you already forgot how you betrayed Arlelle,” the chairman of the Dolto Group challenged him. It was the last interaction Grant had with them because he wanted them to deny any involvement with the Mercator Group. Grant was only taking other means of ensuring that he has stronger points against rebuttal. But this has come now and the shareholders are getting astounded about the issue. If this got to be leaked out, the stocks of the Mercator Group might fall down.“You have an issue Mr. Grant. For the
Look At Me, Oneil CC. The Princely Guest
Essi never meant to be harsh on Oneil by hook or by crook. So when the call ended last night with Oneil’s sheer hope that everything will be alright, she pushed herself on courageously facing her grandfather after the announcement that he already arrived at the chateau. She left her phone on her office desk and proceeded to greet him.Essi thought that Mr. Arlelle was alone or at least his company were just his guards. But he rather brought a guest that Essi cannot even recognize. Even Essi’s mom got astounded by the appearance of the man because he has a pleasant and respectable personality. Other lady cooks were squealing upon seeing his features. He looks both graceful and chivalrous. He is more stunning because of his beard shaping his face and his amber eyes shining in delight to Essi. He was also polite in greeting the Paulssons. He kissed the hand of Deleila as a greeting. But Essi didn’t like that kind of gesture so she immediately dug her hand into the pot of a snake plant an
Look At Me, Oneil CCI. A Kind of Friendship
While they were strolling the night, and provided that Essi doesn’t have the actual strength of being a tour guide, her words on showing the special portions around the chateau are both simple and awkward. Thankfully, Louis was accommodating and he seemed to get what Essi was trying to say. “Over there is our vineyard. It’s not yet the season for the harvest so it’s boring to head over there,” she told him. “Oh, I’m really sorry Prince Louis…” Essi was trying to catch up with her apology for talking to him all casually.“I told you, you can call me Louis,” he reminded me.“Well, how could I do that? I’m already sorry for not talking to you formally,” Essi asked. “I mean, if you like to, how do you want us to talk?”“Informal will do,” Louis answered, amused at Essi’s friendliness. “Since we’re already friends and I seem to already look around, can you tell me about yourself? Your hobbies?”“I don’t do much. I’m busy with work.” Speaking of work, she realized again what she had been i
Look At Me, Oneil CCII. Like A Paradigm Shift
It felt like forever before Prince Louis left the chateau. The long wait even worsened when her grandfather told her that they can just talk about it tomorrow since he has to study about a thing he wouldn’t even like to tell her.Essi sighs upon seeing that their house is in a cycle again where when she needed to talk them, they do not have the time. If only it is easy to ask Miss Mansha about why did she get herself involved in the opening of the case even though Essi’s grandfather never showed any interest about it. She could only wait for the morning to talk to him.Essi was sure that she won against the alarm in the routine of racing against time. She was sure that she woke up by 7. She hurried herself again for the time to talk to her grandfather.“Madame? Are you looking for something?” one of the cooks who were retrieving some of their utensils asked.“Did you see my grandpa?” Essi was disappointed on not seeing him in his bedroom.“Sir Arlelle went out early in the morning, ma
Look At Me, Oneil CCIII. A Careless Exchange
The Grand Rest House of the Emirvas in Bordeaux may seem ordinary in the outside. Yet, the inside was a testimony of centuries-old genius of art , palatial magnificence in gold and royal colors and a right home for the royals extending overseas. Imagine that the purposes of this rest house is for noble things, diplomatic intentions and royal decisions. Yet, Essi went here again for the second time with a purpose ever so irrelevant and lowly compared to others’. So Essi remained polite and friendly, deeming it important to set aside that purpose first to be revealed somewhere else within the vicinity to at least not violate the any norms in the rest house.To simply put the dinner, it was delightful. Unlike what she thought, there were no eyes that have to watch on her while she talk with the two royals. It feels like a usual dinner with new friends and business associates.“It seems like you know each other very well, Essi and Louis,” Lady Imeldine commented. “That’s good. That’s very
Look At Me, Oneil CCIV. Trouble with the Ring
When Essi left, Louis turned to his aunt with a bittersweet smile. “I made sure that she is sent back home safe, your highness,” Louis said. His aunt gazed at her with a knowing look. “So you found the ring?” she asked. “Yes, but it didn’t mean that I could take it back, right?” Louis replied. “It suits her very well. As if it has been made specially for her.”“It makes sense. Because my grand-aunt, Princess Alice, looks like her.”“That’s not what I mean.”“How else should I take it dear? You know that it is a dire violation to take back what you already gave as an oath of reward,” Lady Imeldine said. “But do not get me wrong. I am not blaming you. I’m just wishing that you are not getting upset again that of all the things that you just simply mentioned to make as a compensation, is the ring of my grant-aunt.”“I wasn’t bitter about the ring itself,” Louis uttered. “When I agreed with his highness to go with you here in Bordeaux, it was because I found the one that I was searchin
Look At Me, Oneil CCV. Rings of Rivalry (Part 1)
No matter how Oneil paraded himself that he can do this easily, he slightly admits in himself that it was rather the opposite. How can he tell Essi about the ring? How would she feel about it? Perhaps, knowing her, she might rather ask for a replacement that is something he can afford. But where can he proceed for a cheap ring? Essi’s relatives mentioned for some other time that the jewelry gifts that he presented must be authentic and of high value because Essi is allergic to fake jewelry sets especially when it is about gold. Their concern was pretty understandable because he witnessed how Essi got rashes when a district prize of the championship she won was a gold necklace but with a high contamination of nickel. He must find another one but where can he begin? The jewelry pieces of his mother are now all pawned. The best ring that he thinks Essi truly deserves was almost a hundred thousand Euros. Maybe if he could get something in Aurora that is somehow affordable, then that would
Look At Me, Oneil CCV. The Value of the Ring (Part 2)
Essi’s preparation didn’t last for an hour. But she took a white ribbon and made it her bracelet and accessory of her left arm, perfectly in line with the silver side of her dress. Her appearance were perfect both for drama and attention. That’s what she wanted this time and only for now. It wasn’t a genius stunt but by this, the insignia would become more noticeable.She went out from the chateau by the grand staircase. All the people beneath the foyer and those outside the courtyard saw how a princess descends to join with them. It feels like the dinner of the investors became her second birthday celebration for the year. From the sea of people, she saw Louis and Oneil. Both of them were looking at her direction, too. She didn’t smile. Her eyes are just staring at Oneil for a few seconds and then she joined in greeting the visitors formally. They proceeded to the event proper with Mr. Arlelle as the one who leads the opening remarks.Since the dinner was meant to be a festive event
