(Since there are lots of characters perspective, the chapter will be told in third person perspective)
Ricardo sat there wide eyed, staring at Stephen in disbelief. He couldn't help wondering if Stephen even thinks with his lower half! Generally, bonded Omegas turn people off but he is actually excited by the idea of banging one? Ricardo had to work hard to keep his digust from showing on his face.
Ricardo didn't care for Tony, but he was just not the type to dirty his hands with such things. Moreover, since Robbie is involved with that Omega, he couldn't help feeling uncomfortable. The last thing he wanted was Robbie becoming Stephen's target. He doesn't mind sacrificing Tony or several Tony for that matter if that keeps Stephan's eyes off of Robbie. Robbie was still young, he didn't want him to make enemies of such powerful foes. Ricardo cleared his throat audibly before speaking,
"Allow me to remind you, he is bonded to my son"
"All the more reasons!! Had you taken care of that Omega, I might not have to be involved!" Stephen said in a low smooth sly voice and shooting him an angry look
"Do you think I didn't try?" Ricardo retorted
"By legal procedure?" Stephen snorted
"That's the best way to crush Robbie from retaliating with law" Ricardo replied unperturbed by Stephen's disdainful snort
"Huh, spending a fortune over just a cheap whore and I thought your a businessman!" Stephan clicked his tongue with mock sorrowful expression
"Well, better than spending a fortune on garbage evading law. I don't invest on such risky business with low return rates" Ricardo threw back without phasing
Stephan couldn't come up with an appropriate reply and instead, glared at him which Ricardo returned. They both glowered at each other so ferociously as if both were trying to kill one another with their looks. If only looks could kill!! Stephen ultimately curled his mouth in a twisted smile, saying
"You still have that smart mouth. Anyways, you should know Ricardo, your son brought this upon himself and that personal whore of his! I am just returning the favor" Stephen shrugged before stepping down from the car and walking towards the guest elevator.
'Whore?' Ricardo snorted 'Pot calling the kettle black! How ironic!'
Ricardo soon followed suit. They saw two front office associate welcoming them near guest elevator. They guided them to the reception where Tony and Diana were already waiting for them. Naturally, as soon as Ricardo saw Tony, his eyes fixed on him. He scanned him from top to bottom with cold death stare. No matter how he sees him, he was just a regular average dude without anything that could be categorised as handsome or attractive except his eyes. He didn't have the air of a dignified person nor does he had any special feel. Ricardo just couldn't fathom the reason for Robbie's stubborn pursuing of him. He could only assume it was the strength of bonding. He looked at Tony with a cold unsmiling face, as Tony smiled at them timidly before directing them towards the long hallway.
Beside Ricardo, Stephan noticed him giving a cold glare at the guy they were just introduced by the associates. He too looked at him with interest. He immediately deciphered that this guy must be the lover of Robbie; Tony. Even, he had to admit that Robbie's choice was peculiar. Who in their sane mind would choose, this guy who looked like a peasant instead of his daughter. It was like comparing diamond with pebbles. In fact, all the Omegas he had slept with in the past, at least looked beautiful. But he....
Stephan again ran his eyes over Tony who was walking ahead of them, showing the way to the event hall. He noticed his long brown hair which was tied, an unhealthy pallor over his thin oval face, pale pink lips and a skinny built. There was zero attractiveness about the guy. The only eye catching feature of his was his pair of exquisite almond eyes. They were big, round with a long dense black eyelashes under thick bushy eyebrows. When light fell on his eyes, it appeared to be glowing. They were very pretty indeed. Stephan suddenly felt the urge to see those pair of beauties swimming in tears. His sexual experience with Omegas had been extremely satisfying. Whether guy or girl, their body just seemed to be begging for a f*ck. He couldn't help wondering if it will be same for the bonded Omegas. He secretly revealed a cruel smile as his eyes indecently fell on Tony's a*s.
Tony instantly felt a chill ran down his spine. What was with his feeling of someone looking at him with bad intentions? But then again it was Robbie's father behind him, who most probably hated his very existence. He was already prepared for the Chairman's glare, but to think that the atmosphere would be so chilly. Tony could only sigh sadly.
He tried his best to keep his presence as invisible as wind. The special guest of his, he had seen him once or twice before in the television. He was some really famous politician. He looked really polite and courteous. After seeing him up close, he could finally understand why those women from this afternoon were squealing over him. He was much more handsome than he thought. If those girls are right and he really did have a marriageable aged daughter, then Tony could only admire how well maintained he was.
As all of them entered the event, Tony took them to the table reserved for them. It was meant for standing guest, high with round coffee tabletop-type table. Stephen and Ricardo both stood there and ordered their drinks. The moment Tony was about go to get their drinks, Ricardo quietly and unnoticeably stuck his foot out making Tony almost fall on his face. But Tony was fast to respond as he quickly balanced himself. He turned bowed to them, apologising for his clumsiness and he went to get the cocktail drinks.
"How childish!" Stephen sniggered
"To be fair, he made me stumble first!" Ricardo grunted
Stephen kept snickering but Ricardo didn't bother. They saw Tony coming back but he had no salvar or drinks with him, instead, a lanky boy who looked like he barely graduated came carrying the cocktails and some snacks. Ricardo's mood worsened on seeing this, as he wanted to make him trip over him and let the drink land on him so that he could get an opportunity and reason to be mad at him and humiliate him publicly but just his luck. He hmphed irritably and looked away. Stephen, on the other hand, took page out of Ricardo's book and silently forwarded his foot towards Tony's arriving step
Tony was glad that Andrew was free to serve the drinks. After his almost tripping down moment, he knew, that the Chairman was just finding opportunities to humiliate him. The lights in the hall were dim and the guests were still filing in. The music was playing quite loudly on the background. This looked like the perfect setting for people to committ mistakes. Tony decided to be more careful around Chairman. No matter what, he didn't want to deliberately hand him the opportunity to harass him. But what he didn't expect was to get tripped again but this time it was not the Chairman who he was holding caution against. He fell dramatically over Mr. Olsen, who immediately stretched his hand out to hold him.
Tony's head hit Mr. Olsen's shoulder, his entire upper body was over Mr. Olsen's torso. Tony was completely taken by surprise. It seemed to him that in his attempt to be extra careful of Chairman, he became careless of his surroundings. He felt embarassed to have landed in such an awkward predicament esp when he was not suppose to make a single mistake that day and it was already his second. Now, it appeared as if he was hugging Mr. Olsen. But soon his embarassment turned into sheer shock, when he found Mr. Olsen, instead of pushing him away, was coping a feel of him. Mr. Olsen's one hand was holding him lightly by waist such that he cannot just push him away and with other he was caressing his waist running down to his hips and reaching for his a*s...
