I’m Not Crazy; Just Hungry

” Liam, disconnect. ” Ethan ordered and Liam disconnected to their classrooms speaker.

”. . .What? Who are you? ” The one presiding the current meeting asked in annoyance to Ethan who suddenly talked about disconnecting right after entering the meeting room, interrupting their important meeting.

” Ethan Hendrix, the founder of the small innocent company that you impersonated. The partnership that supposedly end after ten years, I would like to end it today before you get yourself killed. ” Ethan said after throwing the original contract to the person sitting at the end of the long table in the middle of the room. He was naive to think that hell be able to trust another human.

” What?! Y-you, even if your company is currently falling, you can just put the blame on us! And you can just cut our bridge right after crossing it! So you finally gained fame, now you don need us? Why would we report you?! ” He stood up as he try his best not to let him cut off their ties.

”Pfft. ” Ethan chuckled. ” See, you
e so guilty that you uttered about the report incident even without me saying it. Moreover, fame? You call that fame? The goods we exported to you as gifts for partnership, the names were changed to your companys name and sell them, why?, and its for you and your employees to eat. . . Oh. Could it be. . .you named it under your company because HEthan for a company name is ugly? Unlike yours that is widely known? ” Ethan said while playing with the small folding knife in his hand, sitting at the other end of the table like a boss.

The other people inside the room that inched to the corner ever since Ethan introduced himself was backing off even more.

”. . . W-what do you want me to do?! What if the candies you sent were actually poisoned! You expect us to eat poison!? ” He retorted.

Ethan frowned. ” So if you know the candies were poisoned, you would rather sell it to the innocent buyer to die instead? Why not just throw it away if you think so?. Well, throwing them away is a little harsh. . . I mean, every single bit of it were handmade by me. ” Ethan sighed. ” Some humans are just too- no, they are not even worth calling a human anymore. ” Ethan chuckled.

Humans never failed to amuse and surprise me. Ethan thought.

” . . . ”

Of course, Ethans enemy would be quiet from what he just said, who wouldn ?.

Ethan threw the knife to the documents he threw minutes ago to him. ” Just destroy it and I will act like nothing ever happened between my and your company. It doesn matter whether you burn that or slice that to bits. ” Ethan said coldly. He looked at his wrist watch and got off from sitting on the table and walk away.

H-HES LEAVING JUST LIKE THAT?!

” Keep the knife. It might even save you one day. ” He said before he completely disappear from their sight when he closed the door, they can finally breathe freely.

Ethan stood in front of the company he walked in through and wait for a taxi. Few moments later and a lot of people is scattered on the place. He watched a kid pick up a big amount of money on the road, then two people came to her; an old man that seems to be a construction worker and a rich looking lady wearing high heels and expensive looking bags and clothes.

” Hey kid, thats mine. ” the lady claimed.

” Child, please return my money. ” the old man pleaded.

The kid was about to give it to the old man but the lady asked:

” Why are you giving it to him?! Hes a poor old man! That huge amount of money can be his unless he stole it! ” She said, making the old man feel hurt and wear a pained expression.

” Exactly, miss is already rich enough as is, so I must give it to ones who needed them the most. ” the little girl answered.

” Who cares?! But its not his, theres no use in giving him the possession of others out of pity!, or rather, my possession. ” she exclaimed again.

” If this is yours, how much is this? ” The little girl asked as if challenging the lady.

” I don know! Who cares! I have so much money that I can count! I don bother counting anymore! ” She reasoned.

” Grandpa, how much is it? ” The little girl asked the old man, ignoring the ladys complains.

” I haven counted them yet when i received them. . . ” the old man answered.

The little girl gave the money to the old man which made the lady slap her, or so was she. The slap was stopped by Ethan. Ethan took the money from the old man and made a gesture of ripping it to half.

” Ill rip them to half so both of you can have a half of them. ” Ethan said with a smile that doesn reach his sharp foxy eyes.

” Are you nuts?! Go ahead then! I dare you! I have a lot of money anyway, you
e just acting like a hero! ” She mocked while whirling her finger at her ear, implying Ethan is crazy, but Ethan only blinked once for a respond.

” I won fight for it anymore, please just give it to her. ” the old man gave up and was about to leave them but Ethan stopped him by tugging his dirty clothes and gave the money before saying:

” Go back home, you must be tired. ” Ethan said and pushed the old man away as the old man kept repeating the words ”Thank you ”.

” Why did you give the money to him? ” The little girl asked curiously.

” Exactly! You
e nuts! Thats mine! Can you see my expensive clothes compared to that stinky old man?! Im rich and hes just a dirt- ” her whining was stopped by a choke, Ethans long fingers are choking her. He dragged her out of the road and sat on the bench. The little kid followed him.

Ethan chimed his sigh.

” Look, if you really are that rich then you will not bother fighting with an old man and small child for that amount of money. Moreover, are you stupid? No human will want their hard earned money be torn apart in front of them, that will be triggering and heartbreaking. . .thats why he gave up, because its HIS earned money from a construction site as a night watch. ” Ethan said and stopped choking her, he left a bruised on her neck which made the girl give him a bruise on his cheek. He was slapped. The lady left in fury.

Ethan faced towards the little girl and asked:

” Do you know where you mother is? ”

” Oh no, is she lost? ” The little girl looked around worriedly and answered.

Ethan smiled then flicked her forehead.

” You are, not her. ”
