Chapter 59: Evil thoughts
(Third person perspective)
Stephen had grabbed Tony's butt, and one of his fingers was fiddling near his butthole when Tony pushed him away, hard enough for Stephen to stagger. Tony couldn't believe what just happened. He had times before where he was looked down upon, even people aggressively holding his wrist and trying to kiss him or feel him up, but they were all just some sleazy lecherous roadside romeos who had nothing better to do other than treat any vulnerable person as their entertainment, but this man is a well-known politician from a respected family, owns an import-export business and is liked by several. He is also here as a special guest of the Chairman. Yet, he just now...
Tony was breathing fast, looking at the man in disbelief. Did he just imagine all that? His contemplation didn't last long as he heard a furious voice from behind him,
"How dare you disrespect my guest!"
Tony turned to see the Chairman glaring at him. He looked so furious that flames might as well fly out of his eyes. Ricardo knew it was not Tony's fault, but right now, he was happy to grab on to any opportunity to punish this insolent little rat for stealing his son. It was then that Tony realized what he had done. Could it be that this was all the Chairman's plan to put him in a spot? He quickly bowed to the Chairman and said apologetically,
"I am extremely sorry, sir, for my clumsiness."
"Clumsiness? Do you call this clumsiness?? What kind of training have you received?" the Chairman retorted.
"Sir I..." Tony began but was interrupted.
"Sir, please forgive him! He is new, and in front of such a great personality like yourself, he might have felt very nervous," Diana appeared out of nowhere and spoke humbly in Tony's defense.
"He was nervous? You are telling me that is a reason for him to act so disrespectfully? So, every time some well-known figure steps here, they will be received by mistake??" Ricardo spoke to her coldly.
"No, sir. That's not what I.." Diana tried to explain but got interrupted.
"Call your Event Manager right NOW!" Ricardo was feeling happy that he would finally get to crush this cockroach and vent some of his anger.
"Sir, trust me, it won't happen ever again. I will immediately replace him with someone more experienced,"
"Didn't you hear me? Call the Event Manager!" Ricardo said each word slowly in a dangerous voice.
All this drama drew the attention of the guests, who were now looking at the scene with curiosity and interest. Ricardo and Stephen held a very high authority and equally respectful image in the country. The sight of Ricardo losing his temper was a rare sight. It was like seeing a well-behaved bunny suddenly attacking violently. They all started whispering and pointing at Tony, Andrew, and Diana. Tony understood where this was heading and realized that the Chairman wouldn't rest until his hands were around his neck. He didn't want Diana and Andrew to be humiliated or hurt because of him. In the past, he has been targeted and insulted, but he could tell that this was not the case with Andrew and Diana. They looked embarrassed and very ashamed. The looks of people surrounding them made them fidget. Tony came forward and faced the Chairman boldly, though he was dying of anxiety inside,
"Sir, since it is my fault that the special guest for tonight had to suffer, I'll take full responsibility for it. Please don't be angry with my colleagues," Tony said, covering for them.
Diana was surprised. She was the one who assured Tony of taking care of him. Of course, she didn't know about the personal hostility between the Chairman and him, but Tony's gesture touched her. She felt bad that in the end, Tony had to take care of her while all she could do was watch.
Ricardo sneered internally. He was glad to finally seize an opportunity to get rid of this pest when,
Ringggggg
Ricardo's phone rang, breaking the intense atmosphere. He took out his cell phone, intending to disconnect the call when the caller ID drew his attention. It was Ashley, his wife. He looked at Tony with daggers in his eyes but Ashley calling him was uncommon. So, Ricardo excused himself for a second to pick the call,
"What is it?" Ricardo asked dryly.
"Rick, am I hearing it correctly? You threatened Robbie with our divorce?" Ashley asked calmly and so formally that if someone heard them talking, they might have thought that two colleagues were conversing.
Ricardo cursed in his mind before bristling, "What else did your little prince tell you?"
He chose this particular day only because he knew Robbie would be busy with his meeting with the Hotel's Board of directors. He knew that he couldn't possibly miss the meeting even if he wanted to. He turned to see the crowd of people and that damned Omega looking at him, waiting for him to let them know how he will punish Tony. He couldn't wait to do so, if not for this interfering call.
"He said that you had eyes on him, so he left the house and that you are against his relationship with Tony!" Ashley said mechanically.
"You knew?" Ricardo hissed.
"About Tony? Yes," Ashley firmly agreed.
Ricardo felt like he might explode at any second. Both his son and wife betrayed him. He whispered in an angry, accusatory voice, "Why did you not stop him if you knew? How could you have allowed him to go this far as to have a son with a filthy-"
"Enough, Rick! How absorbed are you in your hatred towards Omegas that you even overlook your son's happiness for your petty hatred?" Ashley asked coldly.
"Petty hatred? What do you want me to do? Take this filth as Robbie's spouse? The spouse to the heir of the Walker family?" Ricardo spoke with an equally frigid tone.
"Do whatever you want but let me make one thing very clear, Rick; I won't allow you to force Robbie into a miserable life like ours! If you push Robbie any further, then I will be forced to ask grandfather to withdraw his support and investment in Walker's business!"
"WHA-" Ricardo almost choked. If there was that anything Ricardo valued the most, it was the Walker family business that was built from years of sweat and blood of his ancestors. His marriage to Ashley was based on the support and investment of her grandfather. They held thirty percent of their shares!! How can his son and wife stake the whole Walker family business and the hard-earned image by their ancestors for a cheap little slut?
"You are only pushing Robbie towards the path of his self-destruction. How can you sit back and watch him throwing his whole life away on this cheap Omega?" Ricardo hissed poisonously.
"Throw away his life? All he has done is chase his own happiness. Does he need your permission to love someone?" Ashley asked, bemused.
"You-" Ricardo felt so furious that he started to see red.
"Rick, for once, think like Robbie's father and not as the Chairman of Walker business!" Ashley said before hanging up the call.
Ricardo couldn't even say another word. He stared at his cell phone with his hand trembling in rage. He felt like hitting someone at this moment. What is with this mother-son united front? He glared at Tony as if looking at a demon. He wanted to choke him to death and completely wipe out this eclipse on his life. He had never felt so cornered by anyone ever, and here his own son and wife made him feel more helpless than he had ever felt.
He stomped back to the crowd trying his best to calm his nerves. He looked at Tony with venom oozing out of his eyes. He growled like a wounded tiger,
"What are you staring at? Go do your work!! Making the entire event come to a standstill thanks to your clumsiness, how amateur!"
Tony was astonished. He couldn't believe that the Chairman was letting him walk away. Was he seriously not going to take advantage of this situation to exact revenge? Tony's thought was quickly brought to a halt by Diana, who tried to pull him away from the scene when Ricardo suddenly pointed at Diana and rumbled irritably, "And you, get an experienced host here instead of this newbie."
Diana bowed and nodded quickly without a word. She held Tony's arm and walked away. She felt heartily relieved that the situation ended without much drama. She asked Tony to get back to his position as Chef and leave the rest on her, but Tony declined. Although he was still unsure why the Chairman allowed him to walk away, he felt worried that he might burst out at Diana. He cannot allow Diana to face the wrath of the Chairman when it was meant for him. So, he continued to help her out as the host.
Stephen looked at Ricardo with amazement. He actually allowed that Omega to walk away scot-free!! He could have very well taken advantage of the situation. He looked at Ricardo with a face clearly asking, 'Have you lost your mind?'
Ricardo didn't see him. He downed three glasses of cocktail one after another. Stephan was not clear about what happened, but he didn't want to ask any further. The look on Ricardo's face was very dangerous at the moment. It felt like he might blast out if he even said a single word. So, he left him to drink and instead focussed on Tony, who was interacting with the guests.
He expected Tony to be stiff and bony because of his skinny stature, but he turned out to be soft. His butt was quite proportionately shaped. Even though Tony's smell was not driving him crazy, he still smelled very delicious. His eyes with those thick, long eyelashes are beautiful. He wanted to see how they would look when he was scared or when filled with tears. He wondered how his face would look when he is aroused, filled with desire or when he c*ms. He felt himself going hard just from the thought. As he scanned Tony from afar, his thoughts turned dirtier and dirtier. However, all his dirty fantasies ceased at Ricardo's abrupt intervention, who asked him in a malicious voice:
"You want him?"
Stephan stared at Ricardo's bloodshot eyes. He had a sinister look on his face and a diabolical smile playing on his lips. Stephan narrowed his eyes as he asked,
"What if I do?"
Ricardo's smile got wider as he malevolently said, "Then go ahead! Take him! Do whatever the f*ck you want, but make sure after you are done, he should not appear before my son ever!!"
