The Reincarnation of the Tough Empress Being a Neglected Wife
Eps. 36

Elliot then went into his private room while opening and throwing his suit into a careless place. He grabbed a bottle of booze that had always been his escape when getting into trouble.

He stood in front of the glass window of the room as he downed the drink without pouring it again into the glass.

"Why can I be so stupid that I can be fooled by a cheap woman like her?" he muttered while smiling sinisterly staring at the reflection of his face from the glass in front of him.

He walked to the desk above which was lying a brown map of the report of the assistant who had just regained consciousness and returned from the hospital.

"Akhs...... Idiot.... Buk buk buk." strangely while continuing to punch the wall until blood spots printed on the gray wall.

"Why am I so stupid to believe the words of a ja*ang that I ignore a girl who is always by my side sincerely? Why should I hurt a girl as sincere as Az?" I don't know who it was.

Some of the bottles were empty on the floor of the room along with some cigarette butts that Elliot had smoked. Elliot still faithfully holds a bottle that is still half filled with one hand flanking a cigarette that is also half left.

He closed his eyes and then a shadow of everything he did to his ex-wife and how the sad face of Az when he rejected all forms of kindness Az spun like a video in his memory. The thing he regretted the most was the first time Az had actually shed tears in front of him in shock at what he had witnessed the last time Az had set foot in their residence.

"Now you've just regretted hm?" suddenly a voice teased Elliot who closed his eyes.

Slowly he opened his eyes and then a person with the exact same appearance as himself stood up while looking down at him.

"You regret it is of no use. He has long since gone from your side and picked another man despite being older but at least that man appreciates him." said the shadow.

"No....! She's my woman and always will be. I will take him back to my side and will make sure that he will always be by my side at all costs" Elliot said.

"You want to compete with the most successful businessman in this city that even your possessions and power are not up to a tenth of what he has? Don't dream in broad daylight." said the shadow while smilingly underestimating him.

"Then what? That old man just having a clean business won't be comparable to me owning the biggest mafia gang in the country" Elliot said.

"The biggest mafia gang heh? A mafia gang that small you admit the biggest mafia gang? Don't fool yourself." said the shadowy circus.

"Small or large my mafia gang cannot be underestimated" Elliot said, throwing everything he could reach into the shadow.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha." The shadow disappeared with the sound of a loud laugh that made Elliot even more ignited his emotions.

The next day, Elliot opened his eyes and grimaced while holding his dizzy head.

"Akh.." screeched.

"How much booze did you drink last night that you were in such pain?" ask an old man while cleaning up the whole room from the mess Elliot made last night.

"Let's know uncle Ron." replied Elliot who was trying to get up because he had to go back to the office.

"Where are you going? Eat breakfast and take painkillers at the table and go back to sleep after." said the man named Ron.

"I had to clean myself up and go back to the office because I had to attend a shareholder meeting" Elliot answered and went into the bathroom.

"What other problems are you dealing with this time that you drink to such a hangover?" ron murmured as he stared pushyly at the bathroom door where Elliot was.

"I'm sorry for a brother who can't take care of and educate your son well. Brother remains unable to protect him from the influence of your husband's family who thirsts for power and wealth." he muttered as he closed his eyes.

"Perfect" he said with a smile looking at himself.

He immediately came out of his room after being quite certain that there was nothing less than his current appearance.

"Good morning young lady." said Yuki.

"Is my change of appearance not so good, why do you recognize me, Yuki?" ask Az while pouting.

"You get out of the room that you're the only one who can freely be in there. So, it's only natural that I recognize you young lady." replied Yuki.

"Sounds like you want to go to my room? Are you looking for me for something?" ask Az.

"Below there is already master Devan waiting for you young nono." replied Yuki.

"Let's go see him." take Az.

They immediately walked down the stairs and below Devan was waiting for his girl to come down.

"Well, you're really good at changing Az's appearance." praise Devan to be amazed at Az's new appearance.

"Is that a compliment or a satire?" asked Az with an annoyed face.

"What mean? Of course I praise you." Devan replied.

"Then how can it be good that you too Yuki can recognize me before I speak anything in one look?" ask Az again.

"Have you forgotten who you picked out all the things you're wearing right now?" ask Devan back.

"Oh, I forgot that the clothes and everything I'm wearing now I chose with you. I don't think you'll remember anything about it." Az said.

"All about you how can I forget?" muttered Devan.

"What are you muttering?" ask Az.

"It's nothing. Eat your breakfast because we have to leave immediately. It wouldn't be funny if a new employee arrived late, would it?" devan.

"You are right. Come on.." invite Az excitedly.

They finished their breakfast and left immediately. They went to use an old computer. Not wanting anyone to be suspicious about her identity if using a car, Az asks Sidney and Yuki to provide an old scooter for him.

When Yuki asks what for, Az immediately replies "Isn't it strange that ordinary employees come using 4-wheeled vehicles?"

Devan will certainly not waste the opportunity to sit closer to Az on top of the old scooters. He immediately volunteered to be the one driving the old scooters.
