A Billionaire In Disguise

The dining hall was silent as everyone listened attentively to Elijah’s voice echoing from the phone speaker.

Every client in the room quietly stared at Elijah while he rested his elbows on the desk and said, “I know you all are wondering why you guys are here.”

“Well, yes. I mean that's the only reason we all came.” A fellow said, sounding a bit annoyed.

“Right, then I will get to it.”

“Okay,”

It was quiet for a few seconds. Then Elijah took a deep breath and said, “I will be resigning from DreamTeam by tomorrow.”

Everyone at the dining table looked shocked, including Rome because Catherine had stared wide-eyed at him, and he didn't want to be the only one not surprised.

“What!” Mr. Barlow shouted.

Swaying his gaze away from Elijah, Davis stared down at the table and let out a sigh of relief, knowing that he had low the call to the last volume on his phone.

“What? Why?” A lady asked in dismay as she stared at Elijah.

“Every fledgling has to fly out of their nest one day, and for me, tomorrow is my day,” Elijah said with a look of hesitation in his eyes.

Then he pondered on his thoughts for a while. Afterward, he fixed his gaze on his clients and boastfully uttered, “To be honest, this fledgling had spread his wings a long time ago and flew from its nest.”

“Can you speak more clearly?” A gentleman said as he slowly tapped his hand on the table.

In anger, Mr. Barlow frowned and harshly mumbled, “Right, talk clearly!”

Feeling confident, Elijah stood to his feet, bent over, resting his palms flat on the table glass surface, and said with pride, “I'm the co-founder of DBA INC!”

Immediately, Mr. Barlow jumped to his feet, knocking the chair to the floor, and then he shouted, “What nonsense did I just hear?! What did this fool just said?!”

Seeing how workout her husband was, Madam Rosey reached for his hand and softly intoned, “Honey, please calm down.”

But Mr. Barlow smacked her hand away from him and yelled, “Calm down! You want me to do what! Calm down! Your son dared to stab me right in the heart, and you want me to calm down!”

In an effort to clear her name before things escalate, Chloe pouted and said, “Grandfather, I didn't know about this…”

“Shut up!”
