When soone was threatened with their position in life, he would try to think of ways about how he could eliminate the person who he considered as a competitor.
One of the most important things in a human's life was their pride. It was to feel that they were much superior to others. It was their way to boat their self-esteem and appear more confident in front of everyone.
However, to so, pride was considered a point of weakness. The feeling of being on top and suddenly falling down was a nightmare that others do not wish to have.
And that's the tool that Hugo was using. With him working beside Julius, whom Ro adores so much, he can use this as an opportunity to make him experience the feeling of being unimportant.
To make Ro desperate for attention and recognition from Julius, as if he was a lost puppy looking for care and love.
'Desperation… the last ti that I felt that I died." Hugo couldn't help but chuckle as he rembered it.
Ro ca back to the office with a forced smile on his face. He arranged the utensils and the glass cups on the table before calling both Julius and Hugo.
"The table is set, Sir." he bowed his head before standing on the side.
Julius nodded as he invited Hugo to join him at the table. The two of them shared the ice cream that Hugo bought while Ro stayed on the side, just watching them.
When Hugo saw it, he imdiately called Ro's na. "Co and join us, Sir Ro," he uttered before showing a smile on his face.
Ro silently nodded as he went near them.
"May I ask how many years have you been working here, Sir Ro?" he curiously asked since he doesn't have any idea about it.
"More than 5 years," Ro simply answered as if he didn't want to have a conversation with Hugo.
When he noticed it, Hugo found this a sign to ask more questions that would annoy Ro further.
"You have been working for a very long ti here! I guess Mr. Julius trusts you with a lot of things."
"Yeah, obviously." Ro boasted around. He smirked as his brows shot up. "And I doubt he will trust other people other than ." he shrugged his shoulder.
Hugo nodded as if he was agreeing with what Ro said. His eyes went to Julius, who was just silently eating on the side. "Sir, may I ask what ti should I co here tomorrow? And where will I stay?"
Julius placed the spoon back into his glass before adjusting his seat. He glanced over at Ro and uttered, "Move your desk and occupy the office on the second floor. Hugo will be taking over at your place." He announced.
"W-What?" Ro's eyes turned into horror. "But we currently don't have a spare desk available at the mont, Sir." He tried pointing it out in hopes that Julius would take back his words.
Julius's brows ford an arc. "Then, clean your desk and give it to Hugo? Is that even a problem? It's ti for you to go back to the lab and focus on the tasks there."
"Alright, sir…" Ro breathed out as he held his clenched fist under the table. His breathing grew thin and ragged when he felt as if he was being replaced by soone below him.
Hugo grinned. 'Yes… Just like that, show your anger more.' He was calmly leaning against the leather couch, eating peacefully. He could already feel the sweetness of victory in his mouth.
"Oh no, Sir! Isn't that too much? Mr. Ro ca here earlier than ." He anxiously asked, looking at Ro with worried laced on his mind.
Julius shook his head. "Don't mind him. He can already manage on his own and besides, he has other work to do. He is one of the main scientists of ELO," he shrugged his shoulders, obviously not showing any care about Ro.
"Oh, is that so?" The mockery in Hugo's tone didn't escape Ro's ears.
"Are you trying to pick a fight with ?" He declared as he threw the spoon on the table. He stood up from his seat and turned his body to Hugo.
Hugo pretended as if he was shocked by what had happened. "W-What did I do, Mr. Ro?" He smirked at Ro when he saw that Julius wasn't looking at them.
"You asshol—!"
"Stop it, Ro! You are disgracing !" Julius angrily shouted, interrupting Ro's words.
Ro was startled when he heard the angriness in Julius's voice. "S-Sir?" his voice stuttered when he rembered that Julius only use that tone of his voice when he was really angry at soone.
"Leave all your work on Hugo. You can go back to the lab now and don't bother coming back here unless I call you," Julius shook his head. He looked at Ro from head to toe as if he wasn't needed in his life anymore.
"B-But, Sir…"
"You heard . Teach Julius all the things that he needed to learn today. I will be going out, so make sure that you teach him all the things. If he ever did any mistake, then you will be held accountable for that!" Julius spat.
When he saw that Ro wasn't willing to do what he said, Julius's eyes turned into a glare. "I nurtured you for years and yet you are acting like this in front of ? Do you want to embarrass in front of Hugo?!" His voice thundered.
"At such a young age, he had already proven his worth by being the top in their school, while you? At his age, you were wandering around the streets because of how idiot you are!" Julius took a deep breath as he calm himself down.
He glanced at Hugo for the last ti and said, "You can leave after Ro had taught you all the things that you should rember." He inford him.
"Yes, sir." Hugo bowed his head as Julius stord out of the room.
Glancing over at his side, Hugo saw how Ro's face reddened in anger after they were left alone.
"Y-You! What are you planning to do?!"
