Chapter 296 - Michelle Meets Rex

Ch-296

"Can I meet her once?" Rex begged her.

"She has a boyfriend," Esther's crisp answer left his jaw dropped.

He never said that he wanted to date her!

"a man never wants to see a woman just because he found her amusing just with her voice. Don't you think your concept of meeting people is kind of weird?" Esther blurted out, forgetting that he didn't say the words out.

Rex looked at her with guilt and confusion.

"Your face says all your thoughts," Esther cleared his doubts.

She is dangerous, he thought. But this was good too.

"When I was dumped by my master's daughter. I drank to the point of being wasted. At that time, A woman came like an angel into my life and helped me to get out of the depression. I lost contact with her after a few days. I have never met her in the last three years. Now… Your friend's voice is so similar to her. I want to confirm if she is the same woman or not," Rex said truthfully.

"What If she is the same woman? What if she isn't the same woman?" Esther asked.

"I want to thank her and befriend her again. I won't enter her personal life and disturb her life with her boyfriend. If she isn't a woman… I would never see her again," Rex said.

"Hmm…" Esther responded. Her red eyes peered at him sharply.

"Whatever happens that shouldn't affect your professional life. And apart from being a boss… Don't you dare hurt my friend," Esther said to him. Her red eyes shined at him piercingly.

"I would never hurt a woman knowingly," he assured her.

"You may leave now," Esther said to him.

Rex wanted to stay for more time but he knew he shouldn't push Esther's buttons further.

He turned around and was about to open the door.

*Boom*

"BABE!!! I'M HERE!!! DID YOU MISS ME!?" Michelle's voice could be heard the moment she opened the door.

Esther facepalmed herself when she heard the walking trouble's voice.

Uh oh! The walking trouble was none other than Michelle. That was an old nickname given by Esther to her.

Michelle froze in her spot when she saw there were two different people in her cabin. She awkwardly straightened herself and stood properly. Feeling Embarrassed, she gave an awkward smile and walked inside. When her eyes landed on Rex and Thor her eyes widened in shock.

She knew one of them… but she couldn't differentiate who was who.

"Elle," Rex called out.

"Oh! It's you! The gold-eyed man! I was confused earlier!" Michelle said and turned around with a bright smile.

"You know him?" Esther's voice rang in the cabin.

"Yeah! You didn't know about him! After I fought with you and left you alone in anger after knowing that you married your bastard ex-husband! I found him near a dustbin. Do you know what's funny thing!?

"He got dumped and cheated by his girlfriend! And the funny fact is the same girl cheated him and his brother! Ha-ha!

"You know for a bitch he wasted himself and got admitted for alcohol poisoning. Sigh… such a wasted man!" Michelle told their story in an almost comical way.

Thor and Rex felt embarrassed but they couldn't deny her.

"Don't you miss me?!" Rex asked dramatically.

"Nope!" Michelle's crisp voice rang in the cabin. Esther wanted to laugh but she held it. She knew her friend could be damn straightforward.

"Why?!" he asked dramatically.

"Because I was missing my friend at that time. You are a no-one to me!" she said the truth.

Indeed, that's the truth. She doesn't lie anytime.

Rex knew it's the truth. Who doesn't know the story of Esther and her failed marriage? And her long-lasting friendship with Michelle. Everyone knew about it. He didn't say anything about it.

"Coffee?! Oh! Wait! You signed! So, Lunch!?" Michelle asked in an excited voice.

Before Rex could answer Esther cut him off. "Michelle, I understand that you are happy to see him. But… keep your voice. I am too young to turn deaf," Esther said and bent her head as she continued to work.

"And since… the three designers are hired… I will give them a welcome party. Michelle, inform Thomas about this and ask him to set the place near a shopping complex." Esther said.

"Hey! I am the CEO of Felix antique Internationals!" Michelle said as she tried to escape the trouble.

Esther looked at Michelle, raising her head with her red eyes. "Say it again," Esther asked.

"CEO of Felix Antique International's," Michelle said in a meek voice.

"Louder!" Esther said in a little loud voice.

"I will tell him!" Michelle said and ran away. Esther let out a small chuckle before composing herself.

Turning her gaze to Rex and Thor, "I guess you know the competition of the designer hiring of Royal's Closet. Go through their designer's designs and pick the best ones. They will be your assistants and the remaining will do crafting and so on," Esther said.

"We will work from tomorrow!" Thor said stubbornly not wanting to work today itself.

"Rex, then you and your brother can leave for today. Tomorrow, we four members can have lunch together. Michelle is leaving for Calista tonight," Esther said with a smug expression.

Thor looked at her hatefully. She was trapping them! What a shame!

"Brother! We are free anyway! Let's help them! Please follow me to the cabin!" Rex said in a hurry and dragged him away to their new cabin.

Thor, who was dragged into his cabin, looked at his twin brother with a belly full of anger. Rex just hid from his angry brother by hiding his face with a file. Sometimes, his brother would punish him by not cooking food for him when he was angry. Even though he could survive lunch… he has dinner to be feared. He couldn't take risks. Sigh!

One side brotherly love the other side gratitude and on the other side female big bad wolf and on the other side profession. He was torn from four sides.

Sad life!
