Chapter 84

"Wayne... it's alright... Don't yell at him... Besides... he did a good thing by telling us... but..." Jeffrey on the other side scolds Wayne for telling at Gold and at the same time peeping at Dean's mum.
"But! What..." Wayne asked and all of them became curious... to know what Jeffrey has to offer...
"Hmm... let's just call this a call... I'll tell you guys when I'm back..." Jeffrey was about to end the call but they all grumbled, making Jeffrey have a second thought.
"The thing is...hmm... definitely, Mrs. Jane will have to come to Dean's office... Gold, don't look at her... Wayne acts normal and the same with Dean... I'm the only person close to Mrs. Jane here so I guess... you guys have to wait for me... That's the only way I can sort this out... with her... Agreed?" Jeffrey commented with his phone as they all looked at each other and were afraid to agree to his plan.
"How can you say you are close to my staff... have two of you ever had a conversation? The truth is... we'll agree to stay on our true self... but we can't depend on you..." Dean scolded him back... while gold and Wayne were just staring at him.
"No... problem... Do what you feel is best for you guys... but... Gold... do you like her?" He traced the question directly to Gold.
" Yes... I do... " Gold keeps nodding his head... and after the reply... Dean gives him a thumb up.
"Okay... Good luck with that!" Jeffrey ended the call and headed back to the dining table where Dean's mum was.
"What's wrong with him... damn... so rude and arrogant... why could he end the call just like that... has he gone nuts... damn... " Dean yelled after being hang-up on the cell phone... his heart boiled as he stood up with force while heading straight to the refrigerator where he brought out chilled water and poured it on his head.
"He's probably busy or maybe someone called him... so why angry all of a sudden... it's still the same guy you went on a trip with.. so why the hot temper... Hmm... Dean... sometimes, you are something else" Gold questioned him and left the office with anger.
"Where... are... you... going... to..." Wayne stammered but Gold slammed the door with force while leaving the office...
"He's... stupid for talking to me that way... How dare he... someone who can't fit in my life anytime... has the right to tell me when I'm wrong... He's stupid..." Dean provoked again while he kept on hitting his table continuously.
"But seriously! Why are you even angry," Wayne asked and became more confused about what was happening.
"I don't like someone who thinks I'm not important... or someone who thinks he is over me... I hate it... what Jeffrey should do right now is rude and very disrespectful... I hate it..." Dean yelled, hitting his feet on his chair.
"But it shouldn't result in your sudden behavior now... c'mon man... put yourself... together" Wayne encouraged him but he left the office... in anger.
"What's even wrong with all of them... now... I'm left alone... had to clean up their... mess... damn..." Wayne frowns his face while putting everything in order... The bottle can Dean throw away and the disorganized chair and table...
Gold became tired of being around Dean as he head straight to the gateman's house while sitting on a bench outside
"Young man! You work here... " The gateman came out, thinking he'll receive some fresh air when he came out but was shocked to see someone sitting on his chair.
"I don't work here but I'm always with the CEO and his friend..." Gold stretches his hand toward the CEO's office.
"CEO? Hmm... you have to be careful with him... but he didn't seem friendly earlier... I wonder while he's trying to adapt..." The gateman sat beside gold as he kept staring in the direction of the office.
"Friendly... he's not friendly... I regret being around him..." Gold kept looking at the office window while giving Dean a bad name...
"It's business anyway... you have to be rude for people to respect you... you know he's still a kid... so...that it's... " The gateman... tapped on his shoulder while resting his head on the wall...
" business? Money that..." Gold turned to him and suddenly remembered that it was supposed to be a secret...
"Wait... a minute... you said... you were with the CEO... so that means you were also with Jeffrey! right," he suddenly sat up... as something flashed into his memory.
"Yes... we came together" Gold nodded his head in reply.
"Damn... That means... all of you were friends... you must have known their story and that's why I told you to be careful with them" The gateman hit me with his shoulder.
"Oh... about that girl... hmm... Jenni..." He was about to complete it but the gateman completed it for him " Jennifer".
"Damn... that lady has a story... she used to sleep at my place when she just joined this company and back then... Jeffrey has this deep interest in her... But I guess the CEO won her heart because of his money and can you believe it... he even stopped Jeffrey from Working here because of the woman... Damn... you have to be careful" The gateman continued to explain and thoughts began to run down my head... I'm so confused.
"Yeah... I know about the story but not all of it though... right now... I'm just thinking of how to live my life" The black wolf's leader rubbed his hand on his head.
"I even wondered while Jeffrey came to me and asked for an inquiry about flowers but I offered him a fancy rose... Damn... beautiful rose..." The gateman keeps shining his teeth as he remembers the moment he gave Jeffrey a rose.
"Are you serious... That means... Jeffrey must have been spending time with the woman he just met... Good for him.. right now... I'm just loaded... I need to start a life... since. I came out of prison... I don't know what to do next" He suddenly turned to the gateman but the moment he remembered about life... his mood changed.
"Prison? Did I just hear you clearly... what happened?" The gateman became shocked as he sat properly with his hands together.
"Yeah... Three of us who are with Dean were once prisoners..." Gold replied still with frustration in his eyes.
"That means... the CEO released all of you... that means he's a changed man now" The gateman became silent and thought of it for a while.
"No... he isn't a changed man... and... he didn't release us... Jeffrey made him do it... but please don't ask me why... I'm not in the mood to discuss that part with you... right now... I'm thinking of starting a future with an empty pocket" Gold became serious. He relaxed his head on the wall and felt as if he wanted to sleep.
"Future... why don't you talk to the CEO... you guys are close now... he'll fit you in this company" The gateman encourages him to keep shaking his head.
"No... I can't do that... I don't like being insulted... I found a way to make my own money..." Gold shakes his head continuously.
"But now... you are down... by the way... where is Jeffrey... I missed him... he used to be a very nice person." The gateman complimented Jeffrey but gold sits up, trying to figure out what the gateman said.
"Used to? Damn... He's a nice guy... I regret treating him back in prison... Although... You... know... prison life is not easy and we had to oppress just to survive and I was shocked that when Jeffrey wanted to leave... he took me along... Honestly, I'm surprised..." The flashback of how he used to live in prison became a memory for him while he tells the gateman.
"I said... it... I love him for that and I pray God gives him the good job he's looking for... "This became one of the happiest moments in the eyes of the gateman as he takes Jeffrey as his son.
"Hmm... yeah... I pray so too... but Dean asked him to join him in his company, and he refused... without any reason... still... I don't know why the dean hasn't asked me and Wayne yet." Gold smiled but felt weak since everything he has turned sideways for him but he still has hope in God.
"If it was you, Dean who treated you that way... would you have become friends with him... Jeffrey is mature to think and I love his thinking... he's doing a great job... even if he doesn't have money... I know he'll sort things out for himself... And for you... If you are wise... I think you and your friends should join him around... Not this CEO here who doesn't have any feelings for you two! " The gateman concluded as he headed straight to his little house... not up to two minutes, he came out with water and two glasses...
"I must have taken some of your time... Please drink water..." The gateman tried giving the water to him but gold rejected it.
"I'm about to leave... I just came out and saw how the atmosphere is doing... I'm sorry" Gold stood up as he rejected the water from him.
"Seriously! Are you going to reject my only offer right now" He said while pouting his lip like a little kid who's requesting a lollipop from his mother?
"Fine!" Gold took the glass of water and drank it all...
"You are something... next time don't give me that face... bye" Gold drank the water as he waved his hand at him and left the premises.

" Hello! " Dean walked into the secretary's office after the first knock and the secretary stood up immediately.
"Welcome, sir... I'm sorry sir... what brings you here sir..." She stood up and watched as Dean walked close to her... while nodding his head.
"It's fine... sit... down... you don't have to be sorry... please sit" Dean sat down but the secretary refused to sit as her thoughts kept wandering while the CEO came to his office.
"Sir... what's brought you here sir..." She asked, still staring at him like he just committed an offense.
"Won't you sit... or are you going to stand while talking to me?" Dean kept staring at her and she slowly took her seat.
Her hands were shaken as she refused to continue what she was doing earlier but continued to stare at the CEO.
"I'm very sorry but I've never complimented you since you started working with me... I'm sorry for that... lately I was thinking about what you love but I don't know any of your kind... maybe because we are not close... so... that's the reason for coming here" Dean smiled while complimenting her but the secretary kept on staring at him as if it was all a joke.
"Sir... you don't have to do any of that for me... I'm just doing my job sir... I'll appreciate it more when you tell me to thank you sir" she shined her teeth on him and Dean smiled back.
"Okay... it's fine..." Dean replied smiling and at the same time looked around her office.
'Just like that... wow!" An inner voice whispered to her.
"So... I heard something... my friends... came to me and he explained what happened... Although, he doesn't know how to look you in the eyes anymore... so he begged me to plead on his behalf... To you" Dean brought out a black pen and a red pen... he placed them on the table as he explained on Gold's behalf.
"Oh... That man... why do you want me to forgive him... besides... I have nothing against him..." She responded and took the pen... She opened her drawer and put the two pens in it.
"He said... he loves you and lost his control that very day" Dean smiled and was about to laugh when he said this speech.
"Love, is he...Sorry, sir..." She yelled, rising on her feet with force and suddenly remembering that the CEO was right in front of her front.
