The Marvelous Elijah’s Return

The sight of Jessica made Elijah frown slightly, but when their eyes locked, he immediately turned his focus back on Sen.

Butcher who was now shaking hands with Bryan, “Happy birthday, Mr. Butcher.

It’s always my pleasure getting an invitation to your birthday celebrations each year.” Bryan said with a faint grin as he let go of the old man’s hand.

Returning a small smile, Mr. Butcher then darted his eyes on Elijah, mumbling, “Not a lady tonight… you have upgraded your plus one to someone way more intriguing.” “Happy birthday Congressman Butcher.

It’s my honor to be here to celebrate your big sixty…” Elijah humbly replied, but the look in his eyes was still piercing even though he tried not to show it

His gaze softened slightly when he saw the calm smile Mr. Butcher had sent him which was enough to put Elijah’s heart at ease and to make him grin at the old man.

“Isabella, come here, please.” Mr. Butcher instructed, looking back at a young beauty, pointing to the young woman standing next to Jessica.

When Isabella moved beside her father, he smiled proudly at her and then said, “This is the apple of my eye…” Looking back at Jessica, he signaled her to come to the front and then added, “And her best friend… I am sure you guys have met… Well, you were married to her friend… Melina.

So, I am right, right?” “We have,” Elijah said, only focusing on the old man.

With a wild smile, Jessica extended her hand as she whispered seductively, “Hello, Mr. Darius… I must say, I am in love with your suit.” .

Sizing her with his eyes, Elijah’s face remained numbed with emotion as he said coldly, “My wife has good taste in clothes.”

For a moment, Jessica looked taken aback by his words.

However, she quickly recovered from it, but her remark left a weird atmosphere among them.

“I would have been shocked and a bit enraged to see you at my party, and Bryan bringing you here would have been an insult to me if I wasn’t aware of the sudden headway you are making in the business world… How did you do it?” Sen.

Butcher asked, looking at Elijah with his shrewd eyes.

“How did I do what?” Elijah asked in an unamused tone, knowing the insult within Mr. Butcher’s words.

The old man could see in Elijah’s eyes, boldness instead of fear, and he wasn’t sure if it was arrogance or pure confidence that fueled those qualities.
