Chapter 2 - Nature of boy

The name of the boy is Mr. Elic Paul. He is a young, wealthy businessman. He is 28 years old. Elic is someone who wants everything according to his preferences. Many workers work for him, but whenever they make even a minor mistake, he does not take a second to think about the reason—he fires them immediately.

He has no friends and has built a strong boundary around himself. No one can enter it. Unfortunately, no one even wants to enter because of his rude behavior. However, he is highly passionate. He made his company successful in just six months, and every year since then, his company has received an excellent performance award.

His house is like a dream house for many. It has a lawn filled with various imported plants, but none of them are flowering plants because he dislikes colors and strong floral fragrances. He has a personal fashion designer who knows Elic's taste in clothing and selects everything he wears daily. He only wears light-colored suits.

Elic's memory is so sharp that he can recall what he did at this exact time a week ago. However, he only remembers things he considers important. Interestingly, he forgets people's names because he believes names are not important—only people's actions matter to him. He hates gatherings and is not a social person. He loves spending time alone, reading research-based books, and keeping up with the latest updates and inventions through newspapers.

A notable aspect of his personality is that he strongly opposes women working outside their homes. According to his perspective, women should work only inside the house for their family members, creating a comforting environment for the men when they return from work. He believes that if both partners work outside, no one will be truly happy because they will be too exhausted to do anything but rest. In his opinion, a working woman cannot be a homemaker; instead, she is just a greedy woman who ruins a household for her desires. On the other hand, he sees housewives as women who sacrifice their wishes to keep their families happy.

He despises women who get emotional easily and cry in front of others. He believes that whenever someone faces a problem, they already have a solution within themselves—they just need to discover it. He thinks discussing issues with others only leads to more confusion and frustration because overthinking prevents people from reaching a conclusion.

Elic is a man with strong opinions. He observes everything from multiple angles but never shares his thoughts with anyone. He used to fire his drivers if he noticed any dust inside or on the car. He would also fire them if he felt even the slightest jerk while riding.

His hair is always perfectly in place, as if someone has commanded it not to move. His shoes shine like stars, and his clothes are as straight as an unmoving mountain. His eyes are so deep that no one can read them—nor would they dare to, as he never allows anyone to understand him.

In 28 years, no one has truly understood him. No one even knows who he really is.
