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

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.

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.

But Oneil never took him seriously. He’s just a kid who’s bound to learn more. “How are you while I’m not around?” Oneil asked that surprised his cousin. “Not that great,” Jacques was careful in his answer. Is he talking about the incident in Forestier Village? But these familiar words and the way Oneil would show a knowing smirk after that question brings Jacques to compare it with Oneil’s past attitude. Oneil also got amused at Jacques’ response. Just like how he always do whether Jacques answered with fury, sarcasm or silence. “You have grown up. That’s good. You’re not s
