LXXXVI. Training
Oneil returned to the mansion wondering how he can bust out Ethan’s men without noticing it. Whether Ethan has something to do with the attack or not, it still cannot be denied that it worried Essi so much. She kept having nightmares. As her man, he wanted to warn them off and not mess with him anymore.
“Oneil, where have you been?” his mother asked when he passed by the hallway. She’s already halfway on her magazine and tea but she left it to check Oneil. “Did you eat already? Let me prepare for your late lunch.”
“It’s alright. I already have one,” Oneil replied as he halted on his tracks towards his room. He looked for Frederick. His mother told him that he is on the second floor, dealing with Grant’s great grandchildren. Oneil proceeded and saw how messy the place is.
The boys were challenging Frederick for a martial arts match. Although he politely declined, the kids didn’t listen but attacked him. Trained to safely handle the kids while giving them the t

Other than his training, Oneil is also up for knowing more about the Antareses. This is something that he cannot tell to others, especially to Essi. She might freak out if she will find out that he took this troubling path. He also have no one in his house that he can tell with about this. Sometimes, he couldn't help but wonder if he had any friend. "You have one. But he's married already. And he moved to St. Tropez to start a new life," Gwyneth told him when he randomly asked. "Unlike Essi, you had many friends. But all of them are gone to deal with their own lives. You're left with no one." "But do I at least have someone that I can trust and tell my problems to?" Gwyneth shrugged. "You were so inclined to Grant's most basic principle. He taught you that you cannot simply entrust your personal problems to others. You cannot just show to others that you're weak." Hearing that kind of principle is no more profound to him. He expected it and has
Look At Me, Oneil LXXXVIII. Show-off
Ethan couldn't believe that he could finally meet Essi's fiance. But what is in him that Essi likes him more? He looks not that bad. But he's also not impressive. Oneil also behaves calmly as if he is not threatened by Ethan's appearance. He couldn't help but think that Oneil probably does not know him yet. He even acts frienly to him. But as for Oneil's cousin, she seemed passive aggressive. She even rolled her eyes against him when he asked if they met before. "I'm sorry. Maybe I just said the wrong question. But I just want to find out if you know me?" "You're the son of our business partner Mr. Ferdinand Antares. I'm not sure on what you are asking. Do I suppose to know you more?" Ethan shook his head. It seems like the two do not know yet about his connection to Essi. Oneil seems nice. He's also friendly. Things will be easier for him then to tell Oneil that he's pursuing his ex-fiance. "Why is your mind seemed floating? You also have to talk wit
Look At Me, Oneil LXXXIX. More Than His Victory
Match day has come just like as it is arranged. But even before it could begin, Gwyneth is already getting impulsive to make her own ways on changing her grandfather's mind. She though of sitting right next to him in the VIP room. The two of them watched the preparation in the arena. It was fast for the Antareses to look for the polo players to build up their members. The PGN Infrastructures already have one. With Oneil as their special member. The other team also has Ethan as their special participant. "They said that this is just a friendly game. Why are they getting serious?" Gwyneth asked for herself. But she didn't bother if the old man heard her. She was just amazed at the level of each team's preparation. They even have their team uniforms made for this friendly event. "Even if it is a friendly game, we still have to ensure the quality. This is a sport. This is not a comedy where people can make our representatives their clowns to laugh at." Perhaps, G
Look At Me, Oneil XC. Outside the Dining Hall
Meeting with the Antareses seemed to be incessant. They need to have dinner with them. This is the outcome of how persistent Grant Mercator could become to get what he wanted. As for Oneil, it is his chance to confront Ethan. Oneil is just silently observing him. He was never drawing conclusions yet to any of Ethan’s moves. Whether he stomps impatiently or drinks many glasses of water, Oneil only sits still while looking at him. When Ethan excused himself, that's when Oneil got up to follow him. Oneil knew that he wouldn't be going to the comfort room. Ethan would rather proceed to the round balcony where he can scrutinize anything that flashes by. Oneil decided to stand upon the door. His right shoe is against the wall behind him. His hands are in his pocket. It is well-kept before he could lose control and knock Ethan out. As much as he wants to acquire justice on his own for that incident, he should not proceed to any open hostilities yet. It might forfeit all the advanta
Look At Me, Oneil XCI. Against Destiny's Trickery
Oneil has been telling Gwyneth that there is something good happening in Grant. He’s changing. He’s getting nicer. But Gwyneth would not believe it. Every time Oneil would describe how their grandfather has been doing, Gwyneth would just shrug it off. “You should put higher standards, Oneil,” Gwyneth said without looking at him. She didn’t fail on telling him about her disappointment in the old man because of his shrewdness to get the Antareses to trust him. “Just because he didn’t scold us for getting late for breakfast that we could tell he’s getting better.” “But you noticed that he doesn’t get easily angry, right?” Oneil asked. “Maybe we should just get more approachable to him. Later on, we might become closer to him.” Gwyneth only rolled her eyes. “Whatever. I still don’t trust him.” Before Oneil could even challenge Gwyneth on her reasons, Grant had unknowingly provided it on behalf of her already by inviting Corrine again to their house.
Look At Me, Oneil XCII. Give You My Time
There is something that has gotten into Oneil. He suddenly felt missing Essi more although they just had their phone call last night. Maybe he missed her even more because Jillian has finally became his personal assistant and he remember the days when he had lunch together with Essi, Victor and Jillian. Those were the times that he should have cherished more. Peaceful, bright, and full of friendship.It had the same calmness as he is experiencing right now or maybe it is just its continuity, the fragments of peace before war. This little grace before facing the problem gets even further scantily spread around since he did not receive any news about the Doltos. Perhaps, Corrine was still not able to convince her family to back out from the arrangement. It has been two days since the last time that he talked to her. Maybe she needed more time. But the longer that Oneil has to wait, the more that he keeps on wishing for Essi to be right next to him. He felt like he will lose her
Look At Me, Oneil XCIII. The Chairman [VOL. 4 Wrestle of Memories and Feelings]
Oneil’s day begins with a perfect morning. He feels good that he wanted to drive his car by his own and enjoy more of this rare gift for his workdays. The morning breeze meets his hair with a soft bristle as he opens the roof of his vehicle. His mood has made him to choose a convertible car for today’s travel to Tower B. He didn’t mind having many loads of work. Just the thought of Essi also working on the other side of the world makes him feel that he’s growing with her to become the better version of themselves. He arrived at Tower B with the usual smile and glances of the ladies who loved to greet him. He waved back to them before entering the conference room. He came earlier than the senior management team. While bearing the better position, he showed his politeness to his seniors and greeted them. When everything is settled, he glanced at the man who is at the presiding set. A knowing smile of Grant Mercator beamed before him. Oneil can set aside all his disappointments on his g
Look At Me, Oneil XCIV. Timeline
Oneil gains his consciousness with a sudden twinge of his head. He kept his eyes closed. His hand could feel the bandage upon his crown. Nothing comes in his mind to at least give a hint on how did he arrive on having a wound and a terrible headache. Amid all of this case in his physic, he suddenly remembered his responsibility to plan for the preparations of the 50th anniversary of the Mercator Group. There is no chairman assigned yet to supervise the entire events committee —as far he knows it. Others always tell him that he shouldn’t tire himself off because the event is still far from approaching. But with the situation of the old man who is not yet recovered and the thin ice that the PGN Shipping is threading upon, his only hope to save the company is by maximizing the beneficial aspects of the anniversary. This can happen in terms of public relations, sales opportunities and investment directions.A sense of urgency kicked right within Oneil. He got startled
