Looking for the Shadows

Moe’s POV

If Exodus was able to pull this off, I am sure PSJ will fall. He really has knowledge of who I am but he had no idea of what has occurred. No wonder he didn’t use it immediately. These documents were lost to me long time ago. How come they came into Exodus’ hands? I swear, If Julie and I weren’t not fast enough to act, Exodus could have won, however, Julie completely knows what I am truly capable of. I have to leave her alone now. I can’t accept the fact that I’ve been planning to protect Julie from him but in the end it is I whom hurt her so much. If I let Exodus kill himself, what face could’ve I show to Julie?

After the successful deal with SeaFrance, PSJ started to increase its levels on the business charts and its fame increased. It can be said that it is officially their comeback. Profits were constant and more clients were subscribing to their policies. In addition, Julie finally brought Brione Corp. from Elmo in order to save its workers and also, PSJ would also have a business in textiles and metals. What also made their company stronger was that Mr. Ishida Abe finally decided to become a full business partner of PSJ after a month of strong ‘partial partnership’ with them. But despite of these achievements, Elmo was nowhere to be seen.

“Ma’am Julie, Mr. Magalona has been absent for more than a month now, he is neither answering our phone calls nor our memorandums. Shall I put him on the warning list for being AWOL?” Julie’s secretary inquired.

“No, not yet, we all know him right? He is like a mushroom. He is up to something again. He will just appear from nowhere again bagging a client.”

“Okay Ma’am.”

Julie’s POV

Moe where are you? I know you are feeling guilty for what I saw before. But let bygones be bygones. I understand that you only did it to protect me from Exodus. I believe that you are not that kind of person. I know that there is kindness in your heart for you will never do these things for me if you are not. Moe please come back. You promised me that you’d always be beside me.

Since Elmo’s absence, every after the shareholders meeting, Julie goes straight to his residence to see if he is already home. But alas, he never came back. Julie also went to various restaurants where they often eat but again he wasn’t there.

Moe where are you? Julie worriedly thought.

She continued her search and even reached the nearby provinces of Sydney but all of it failed.

Desperate to find him, Julie took her phone and finally called Jean.

“Hello?” Jean answered.

“Jean it’s me! Julie.”

“Oh Julie?! Hi babe!” Jean laughs “Why did you call?” Jean asked as if he was eating something.

“There is something I want to ask you… do you know where Moe is?”

“Bye Julie!” Jean evaded.

“Jean Please! Don’t hang up. It is really important. Moe’s been missing for more than a month now!”

Jean became silent for a moment as if he is contemplating.

“Jean?”

“Moe isn’t missing Julie. He left.” Jean sigh.

“But why?”

“I don’t know. But if I know I won’t tell you Julie.”

“You’re a bad liar Jean. Tell me please.”
