Roger Melton looked ashamed. “Mr. Fuller is right,” he said ingratiatingly. “My company was already struggling. Even if it weren’t taken over by Fuller Corporation, it would be snapped up by another corporation. The fault was on me; I didn’t manage my business well. But I didn’t realize it at the time and went on to commit a mistake that I’d come to regret even till this day…”
He fell to his knees, expression wild with desperation and remorse. “Mrs. Fuller, please, I’m so sorry for what I did to you back then! I’ll do whatever you want, but please don’t go after my family. I’m begging you!”
I was becoming more bemused by the second. “Hold on… I’m not even sure what you did. What did you do that has you begging for my forgiveness?”
Roger faltered. “I-I can’t say it…” he mumbled in apprehension, refusing to look at me in the eyes.
I raised a brow. Thinking that he was being unnecessarily melodramatic, I could feel what remained of my patience quickly evaporating. “If you aren’t even going to elaborate, then please kindly leave.”
As if it’s not enough that all these people are here to ruin the dinner I’m having with my family. I now have a random man begging for my forgiveness for something I have no recollection of!
I motioned for the maids. “Escort this gentleman out, now.”
Two of them stepped forward at once and tried to drag him away.
