Rain drove directly over to Waterside, where Leena had been living. Their hos were now much closer.
"Hey, you tightwad! There you go! Your wine." Rain tossed the gift bag straight into Kevin's arms as soon as Kevin opened the door. Kevin's request had been expensive, costing an exorbitant amount of money. 'If not for Kevin, I could have saved the money and bought Richard more toys, ' he reasoned.
"What's wrong with you? Did you run into shit again? Why are you so angry?" Kevin was confused by Rain's childish behavior. Though comical, sothing about his conduct slt fishy.
"Worse! I was being taped out!" Truthfully, money was not an issue, as the amount was re pittance to Rain. However, he didn't like to be fleeced or taken for a fool.
"Uncle, uncle." Richard ran towards Rain as soon as he heard him arrive. Rain was delighted as always by the cute angelic child.
"Hey, little man! You have grown so much taller already. Tell , does your mommy feed you like a cute little piglet, ripening you for slaughter?" Rain scooped Richard up and placed a great big sloppy kiss on the infant's chubby cheek.
"Don't be so an to , Rain. From what I see, you are actually the pig, and not a cute one." Leena had heard Rain poking fun at her son and her. So the mont she stepped into the living room, she shot an annihilating look at Rain.
"No way! My dear sister, I see that you don't love your brother anymore, especially now that you have a son to replace him in your heart. I feel so sad!" Rain instantly turned into a professional, if overly lodramatic, actor. Hand clasped over his heart, he feigned extre disappointnt and suffered with a deeply furrowed brow.
"Okay, it's ti for you to give it a rest now! Richard is going to laugh at you," Leena complained sourly, while looking over him from head to toe. She was imdiately alard when she noticed his slightly red eyes. What happened to him? Had he cried before coming here?
"Richard, tell , will you laugh at your uncle?" Rain continued teasing Richard. Prec
d everything. It was only natural for her to move on.
Leena opened her mouth, trying to refute this, but silence swallowed her words eventually. Only soone who had been in such a heartbreaking relationship could understand how it felt, and know that there were no words that could help.
A regular board eting was held on Monday. During the proceedings, Vance kept trying to persuade the board mbers to vote Rain out. Uncharacteristically, Rain did not grow angry at all. Instead, he rely sat silently; not even trying to defend himself, and leaving them to their heated discussion. As the company's director, he should be open to all opinions, but he almost seed disinterested.
"Are you done? If yes, then it's ti to get down to business now." Rain suddenly shook off the appearance of being lazy and indifferent. He sat upright and cast a cool glance at the gathering.
"What business? We have been discussing the day's business. Haven't you noticed? Don't try to mislead everyone." Vance glared at Rain angrily. Rain's calm deanor made him rather unsettled.
"Distribute the files to everyone, please. It's now ti to voice our opinions." Rain turned a deaf ear to the fuss Vance caused and signaled his secretary to hand out the files. In his eyes, Vance was nothing but a clown, trying to stir up his audience. He decided to ignore his antics.
