Chapter 44: Beggars IV

Athena pretended to be in thought, at Alfonso’s request, whereas she was brimming with satisfaction at her plans coming together beautifully.

Taking her eyes away from a pleading Alfonso, who was now kneeling in front of her desk, she glanced at Fiona.

Fiona was finding it hard to maintain her sorrowful mask.

When her father had suddenly crawled to meet Athena, she had been numb for a second; only reverting to reality, when her father made his plea again.

Athena smirked in victory, baiting the latter.

But Fiona refused to fall into the trap this time around.

To help her cause, she hurried to her father’s side, and prostrated before Athena.

Athena chuckled softly. Fiona was learning quickly.

"Do you have your company documents with you? Or an article detailing the state of your company?" She finally spoke, needing to be free of their pestering presence.

Alfonso nodded fast, even though he wondered the reason for her interest.

Shouldn’t she be calling her backers, maybe the man, whom she was leeching money from? The man, who was behind the attack on Ewan’s company?

With his right hand, however, he gestured to Fiona to get the black laptop bag he had come with to the hospital; the black bag they had abadoned at the doorpost.

Aforetime, he had brought the documents to beg for Ewan’s favor, but Ewan had sidelined him!

His son in law hadn’t even cared to ask him how his company thriving, nor had he agreed to speak with Athena. The egocentric brat!

If his sickness didn’t move the latter, would it move Athena then? Impossible! The girl was the worst!

Meanwhile, Fiona got up from her prostrating position, walked quickly to the door, and retrieved the bag.

When she returned and handed the bag to her father, she remained standing, suddenly tired of groveling at Athena’s feet.
