Cedric gulped his mouthful of saliva and narrated the whole story.
Katherine was trying to control her laugh, while Regan finished the fruit platter as he listened to his narration. On the other hand, Stephen was having a hard time digesting the things he said.
Sigh…
His young master was turning useless as days passed.
"Master, You need to teach a few tricks to the young master. He is turning useless these days. If it goes on like this, we cannot see a little young master anytime soon," Stephen reminded Regan.
Regan sighed and started his long long speech and tactics to Cedric. Even though Cedric knew them… they weren't suitable for Eleanor. He cursed his bad luck as he listened to his father's words. Sigh….
"Father, I need to go to the company," Cedric said in an attempt to escape him.
But Regan held his ear and dragged him to the couch and started teaching him. After nearly an hour of the boring class, he let go of Cedric.
Cedric got ready and had his breakfast before setting off to his office.
On the other side…
Eleanor went downstairs after combing her hair and applying slight makeup. "Second Lady, Don't you want a feather duster?" Eric asked when he saw her coming down.
"The rat escaped the trap," Eleanor said with a disappointed expression.
"I will find it for you, My lady," he said.
Eleanor just nodded at him and went to the dining room.
Eric saw Eleanor was grabbing as much as food she could into her plate like someone was going to snatch her food. He went near her and served the food.
"Master, Breakfast?" Eric mentioned to Aiden who was reading his newspaper.
"Just a second," Aiden mouthed as he folded the paper and kept it on the coffee table.
He joined Eleanor at the table and started eating. Oddly, Eleanor sensed that her father was displeased with her for some reason.
"Nora, you admitted Jessica to the hospital. How are she and the baby?" Aiden asked the silent Eleanor.
Eleanor gulped down the food that she was chewing. She never felt scared when he confronted her, but on this topic, she hid it from everyone. She let Cedric hide the news from the media about Jessica's hospitalization. It's been three days since the incident happened. She doesn't know how or from what means he got the news, but she knew she was screwed at this moment.
"I don't k-know what you are talking about, dad," Eleanor said and stuffed her mouth with a big bite of food.
Aiden sighed.
"I am glad you broke up with scum and got rid of that immoral best friend. But it doesn't mean I will allow you to do something stupid. You admitted her to the hospital and ensured her safety. This should be the end of the story between you both. If I get to know that you are planning to take revenge on her, then I don't mind disciplining you," Aiden said.
His face didn't contain any trace of love, gentleness, warmth, or anything. It's cold as ice. She shivered involuntarily. Eleanor lowered her head. "I never wanted to abuse her in the name of revenge," Eleanor said as she tried to pick her words carefully but she still failed.
"Abuse… in revenge not only the word abuse comes under it there are other factors too," Aiden said.
"Dad… I didn't mean…" Eleanor wanted to say something but her words got cut off in the middle.
"Don't act smart, Nora. I am your father, not the other way around," he said. Eleanor sighed and hung her head low in disappointment.
"Even if you want to get revenge, there should be no traces left. You don't know how to do that," Aiden said and continued eating his food.
Eleanor looked at him in shock, a smile started forming on her lips as she looked at him.
Indeed… even though his face held a cold expression… his heart was still warm. With a smile, she started eating her food.
After finishing her food, she went to the company. Aiden asked her to take care of the complete company on her own. He asked his secretary and Martin's secretary to look after her.
And today she was going to submit a proposal in the Callan groups, there was too much competition for it. For this competition, Zora groups did a fabulous job in making a presentation. Eleanor prepared herself for the best and made her way to the company.
Early in the morning, she got an email from her people saying that someone from Zora groups got tipped and sold their presentation to the Parkinson's.
She prepared a good drama for that show. With this stunt, she will let everyone know that Eleanor Zora shouldn't be taken lightly. Filling her lungs deeply she walked ahead like a proud peacock.
By the time she reached the office, the team who was responsible for this project already got ready.
"We will take off in an hour. So… people who didn't have breakfast finished their food in the canteen. I notified the canteen staff to prepare breakfast for you all," Eleanor said.
On the way, her secretary informed her that the team which was responsible for this project came early to check the troubles with the presentation again.
Eleanor felt bad for them, she was slacking while they were working hard. If she had gone to the office in the past two days she wouldn't have pulled it. Anyway… her father took care of these things for her, but again it doesn't give the reason for her to slack. Sighing… She decided not to slack anymore. She ordered breakfast for the team and let the canteen staff take care of it for them.
Maybe she needs to make some changes in her office. They need to provide breakfast too so that if anybody attends the office on an empty stomach can fill their food with it. These things were for another time.. For now, she needs to think of the Callan group.
