The Marvelous Elijah's Return

Read The Marvelous Elijah’s Return by Rever Chapter 134

I owe you nothing

Raw shock swept across all the real estate agents‘ faces as Elijah walked over to the head of the table, the only seat not occupied, and sat down. “Good morning, Mr. Darius.” Joey hastily greeted, offering him a slight nod. “Morning,” Elijah responded. 

Still confused that the son–in–law of the Hayes family that is rumored to be leeching off his new wife and causing conflict between her and her family so he could be in control of her money is a major shareholder in Delphi Oil Co. and has such influence on the owner had Florida speechless for a while. 

“Is he who we were waiting on?” Florida blurted out, confused and worried, slowly a sense of regret and embarrassment creeping upon her. 

“You are Elijah Darius… Peach Hayes, husband... the one who just made a huge purchase from our agency...” A guy with a bald spot on his head said with a smirk. 

“You are?” Elijah asked, raising an eyebrow. 

“Oh, I am Zach, the CEO of Newlands Real Estate Agency.” 

“I see,” 

Feeling relief that his agency had a relationship with a major shareholder of the company and seeing that as an advantage for him, Zach smiled at Florida with pride in his eyes, saying, “ Because of your purchase, she was able to make employee of the month and got promoted as my executive assistant... I am so glad you choose Newlands Real Estate Agency.” “I chose the house,” Elijah cut him off, his face emotionless and his eyes dull. 

Zach blinked several times as realization dawned on him and then a small smile appeared on his lips as he chuckled nervously, saying, “Sorry, I don‘t follow.” 

“I did not choose Newlands Real Estate Agency. I chose the house. Honestly, your service was just the worst… it made my wife annoyed, which I hate, and umm... it belittled and alsed disrespected us, in front of others too... I would have never bought the house if I wasn‘t in love with it.” Elijah explained, not even bothering to raise his voice, but somehow, the words came out harsh and cold. “Mr. Darius... 1–1–...” Florida stuttered while she tried to figure out what to say, feeling pressured by her boss‘s glare. A small smile tugged on Elijah‘s lips, and yet, his eyes looked uninterested as they met hers and he asked, “What? Do you also think this company is not compatible to buy the property you guys want us to purchase, now that you know that I am a shareholder here... Does my presence in this company diminish its worth, since I can not afford like some of the friends you have, as you said?” ‘Oh, she did what I did... judge a book by its cover before reading it.‘ Joey thought nervously, looking at Florida‘s gaze as it darted from Elijah to him, and then to her boss. Looking back at Elijah, Florida hesitated, and before she could bring herself to say something, Elijah let out calmly, “I have wasted you all time, and let me not continue. Let‘s begin the
