The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

Chapter 105

Leave it to me

The room was quiet as the silence dragged on as Elijah and Bryan sat there, relaxing on the couch, now that Curtis, Hosah, and Joey had left them alone.

“Well, I don‘t know why I underestimate a Maxwell… But I thought you were going to find Joey’s words offensive and not want to work with him.” Bryan broke the silence.

“And miss the opportunity of correcting my image in the eyes of someone who acted out of ignorance?... After today, what do you think Joey‘s impression would be of me… still the same or…?” Elijah paused and looked at Bryan

“He seemed to respect you.”

“And he didn‘t have that for me when I first walked in here… Have you ever worked under someone you have wronged and had to live up to correcting your image with them, every time you see them?”

“He‘s going to be very careful around you, from now on, always remembering his mistake.”

“Exactly. Now, isn‘t that more fun watching the one that disdains you in your face, spent his days respecting your opinions and you, rather than have him out there, being salty about you, and you, having resentment for him?”

Seeing the half smile forming on Elijah‘s face and hearing the soft chuckle escaping his lips, Bryan smiled, mumbling, “Well, I never thought that far ahead before, but, yeah, it is.”

After a brief silence, Elijah looked at his watch and said, “I need to get back to my wife.”

“So it‘s really love?” Bryan questioned, raising his eyebrows.

“What is love?”

“You and her…”

When Elijah didn‘t respond immediately, Bryan elaborated, “Forgive me for such sensitive words… But, first, you kept your identity for years, while being married to Melina, and allowing everyone to walk over you, and now, you are with Peach, and judging from the last name she bears from you…”

A brief silence passed between the two men again as Bryan saw how Elijah tensed, and then he mumbled, “She doesn‘t know that you are a Maxwell… till this day, does she?”
