Theodore pulled Damion towards a couple and a young girl around 16
The man was in his late forties, he had light brown hair with brown irises, the woman was in her early forties and had dark brown hair with bluish irises
The young girl had fair skin with long light brown bra length hair, her bluish irises sparkled as she watched Theodore pull Damion towards them
" Cute" She said as she laid her Damion
" Erm he isn't cute he's a work of art by God Sasha" Theodore replied the girl smugly
Facing the couple, Theodore pushed Damion
" Mom, Dad, Saaasha this is Gustavo, Gustavo these are my parents and my sister" Theodore introduced his family purposely dragging Sasha's name
" It's finally nice to meet you, I thought my son will never let us lay our humble eyes on you, am Jason Martin " Jason Shaked him while pouting at Theodore
" Gustavo dear, am Nicole Theo mum, I hope he isn't taking advantage of you is he, he told us he's living with you do not hesitate to kick him out if he misbehaves ohh do tell us if he doesn't pay house rent we will "treat" him well for you" Nicole said shamelessly berating her son
" Shh you guys are just, at least Sasha won't betray me" Theodore whined
" Gustavo, am so glad to meet you. Theo always talks about you be careful even though he is an amazing cook he is still a scheming person you need to be on the lookout, if you notice anything suspicious just call me I will send you my number later" Sasha said
" Ouch, my heart is broken to a million pieces my dear Sister has ratted me out, if I didn't know I would have suspected that Gustavo was your true family member and am just the rat" Theodore clutched his chest as if his heart hurt
" I wonder why Max isn't here, even though he usually locked himself in his family house he usually attended these gathering, am worried" Nicole suddenly said
" He's probably busy" Jason consoled her
" I don't know I have tried calling him but his line isn't going" Nicole fished out her phone
Theodore looked a bit guilty and looked towards Damion however his face was very calm, as if he wasn't bothered
" Enough, I don't have spend now being worried, I will..."
Damion calmly watched the interaction of they Martins well precisely Theodore's family, they were able to maintain a loving peaceful home with letting the family influence affect them
Though they were quite shameless, they didn't once ask about his parents it was quite obvious they weren't interested in his status
As long as Theodore like him, it was enough for them, Damion felt strange watching them, he suddenly felt like he was an intruder
If Max was still alive would he be keeping him company like this,
Damion looked around the room, the technology looked wonderful to see them in person and not google, he noticed a drone flying round the room
He pressed down the urge to admire the drone to avoid and returned his gaze back to people in the hall
He looked towards the stage, he recognized George and Charles, they usually came to see him whenever he collapsed due to his weak heart
He tore his eye away and recognized the cartels too, he was still eye surfing with his eyes till his eyes made contact with the girl he met in the store
He raised his brows in surprise because he wasn't expecting her to affiliated with the families, he broke contact with her though she didn't, he looked towards the Man standing by her side
He was actually handsome infact too goodlooking for his age which seemed to in his mid aged forties, he had blond hair with light sparkling irises
Despite his age his skin still looked smooth, enough to attract ladies attention however his cold look kept them at bay
Noticing he was being examined the man instantly turned and made a direct eye contact with Damion, Damion didn't back away even after being caught scrutinizing someone, he kept his gaze calm as the man scrutinized him too
The man tore his gaze away when someone drew his attention, Damion withdrew his gaze to continue scanning
" Ohh Gustavo your the only one that truly cares about me even though you're a psycho driver, you don't bully me like my family" Theodore faked tears as he spoke
" Oh honey don't paint a bad image of us in front of Gustavo" Nicole said as she smiled sweetly at Damion
" Ha my boy after this meeting, you should come visit us and probably stay over" Jason slyly said as he pushed off Theodore off Gustavo shoulder
" Aww, Dad you'll make me Jealous " Sasha pouted as she spoke
" I don't think you'll be the only one Jealous a certain someone who is always the spotlight will be fuming " Theodore spoke smiling mischievously
" Can't wait" Sasha said licking her lips
Just then Charles got onto the stage and clicked his glass of wine to gain attention
" Attention every one the waiters will be handing everyone a glass don't worry it isn't heavy so the young ones can take it to, please everyone should take as we be toasting to a recent achievement and grievance that followed along"
" Huh," Sasha said as she took a glass
Damion followed though he had no plan of drinking it, Charles waited till everyone had a glass before dropping the bomb
" Brethren we seek to finally relay the creator of Drug X"
The hall instantly became silent, some of the reporters there got their camera ready, everyone knew that since the launch of the drug, the Fishers had kept lip tight on the creator to the point only those involved in the inner family circle had an idea on the drug origins but the main resource to make it wasn't known
" Today was meant to be a launching however we will like to pass out our grievance but before that I would like to announce the creator of X is non other than my cousin Max Fisher" Charles said shocking the hall
The hall burst into murmurs, Max Fisher was well known as the studious Shut in, his family members were out researching connections he was in studying inside, some rumors claimed he did all manner of experiments
" Oh my Uncle is responsible for X, why isn't he here to relish in his achievement now they finally announced him" Sasha said out
" Yes he is the true maker of the drug, yes I know some of you might notice he isn't here, that because Max was ambushed on his way on 2 months ago which led him to comma, sadly Max passed out yesterday night... excuse me" Charles said cleaning a "tear" that rolled off his eyes
The hall was once again shocked, they finally got to know the genius behind X, but what's the use of the knowledge since he was dead
" Hic... Max is dead? " Nicole covered her mouth as her eyes turned red
" Shh it's okay" Jason said as he held her
" Am sorry" Charles cleared his throat
" It's just we were quite close, the ambush was calculated and planned, the family's heart is bleeding as we know our dear Max is gone, his burial will be communicated soon" Charles paused cleaning more tears
" Sigh he must truly love him"
" Hmph I bet he's faking it"
" He can't fake a pale skin"
" Sigh a genius is gone now"
" I wonder the achievement the mean since Max is gone"
Murmurs spreed through the crowd eventually reaching Damion ears, Theodore kept looking towards Damion to see his expression
However his expression was very tranquil, as if he didn't know Max
" However before his death, Max had a dream to advance the medical world and he succeeded, he has been working efficiently to produce a new version of drug X, he was meant to do the launching but in his absence I present to you today his dream" Charles said as some waiters rolled a cart to the stage
"This version has been modified specifically to remove all forms of scars and reduce the occurrence of wrinkles" Charles dropped yet another bomb to the hall and pulled of the cloak covering a cart revealing a show case with a white coloured drug kept inside
" Ladies and Gentlemen I present to you Drug Z"
