The office was quiet for what felt like forever, and Allen was sweating profusely under his
suit.
He wanted to say something, anything to make things alright between himself and Elijah.
But he couldn’t think of anything that might ease the situation. So instead, he decided to say nothing
After another long pause, Elijah finally let out a sigh and then leaned forward, resting his elbow on the armrest of his chair, and placing his chin upon his knuckles.
“Do you want to rethink your answer?” Elijah asked quietly, tilting his head to the side to catch a glimpse of his eyes. Still unable to find any words, Allen stood there, shaking his head slowly, and then he said timidly, “No! No… I mean… I can’t. Please don’t push this any longer… Mr. Maxwell. I mean, Darius. I will gladly tell you everything you need to know about your account, but not someone else’s.” Leaning forward further, Elijah’s voice lowered even more, “That’s good then.” “Please… I… wait, huh?!” Allen stammered, completely taken aback by Elijah’s response. “Trust is a very fragile thing, Wouldn’t you agree, Allen?”
“Well, yes! Of course, I do!”
“Very good.” Elijah stated, nodding his head and then saying, “Then I’ll trust you to not call me, ‘Maxwell again, and keep my profile at this bank confidential.”
Amazing at how twisted Elijah was and his mind games, Allen could only nod as he replied,” Yes, Mr. Darius, I promise that I will keep my mouth shut.”
“Honestly, I am telling you this for your own good. You would want to get on my good side, wouldn’t you?”
Blinking, Allen looked at Elijah, and then nodded hurriedly, “Yessir! Absolutely!”
“Good, Now that the ball is rolling, I hope you won’t disappoint me…” Elijah said with a small smirk on his lips as he watched Allen closely. “My trust is not something to be trifled with, so if you mess up, I wouldn’t hate to make you pay.” ‘How did Miss Melina not know she was living with such a scary and powerful man?’ Allen thought to himself as he gulped loudly. Then he forced a smile as he lowered his gaze and stammered, “Y-Yes… Yessir!!”
Smiling, Elijah sat straight again, and then said, “Ok then… I want thirty thousand from my account.”
