Soulmate Hunting

Chapter 16: Eventful Lunch



When he left the 'Imperial Residential Project'. He was talking to Isabel.

Elil: Hey! Isabel, I Hope she will be okay.

Isabel: Master, you don't need to worry. Everything is fine, you helped her. She would be fine in a few days. Did you forget you have a meeting to attend?

Elil: I didn't forget but I am just feeling uneasy. I should have gone with her.

Isabel: Just trust me. You already fixed all the problems and even Miss Irina said that she would take care of her. You are just getting unnecessarily nervous.

With all the things Isabel said to him, he accepted it. He went toward the venue. While he was driving, 

Elil: Hey! I already took the property. This would be enough. Don't you think?

Isabel: Yes, this is enough but remember, don't give the villa property paper at the start. The best time was when they were leaving as a gift. 

Elil: Okay, I will remember it.

When he reached there, he found they all were seated in a restaurant. Then, he approached them. He sat on an empty chair and said,

Elil: Good morning everyone, I am Elil Malhotra. Thank you for inviting me. 

When he introduced himself, everyone was in shock. Rioko suddenly spoke up,

Rioko: OMG! You are Elil!

Megumi: He is so handsome.

Lena: God damn! He is not an old geezer.

Elil: That's rude. I am not that old, I am 22 years old. Do I look that much older?

Lena: I didn't mean that…

Rioko: We are sorry for being. We were just amazed. That our benefactor is so handsome. 

Megumi: OMG! Doesn't Elil-san just look like a celebrity?

Rioko: Yeah! You are right. He is so charismatic.

Lena: I am really sorry. We were just thinking that some old horse wants to eat young grass but after meeting you. We were astonished. We never expected that a person who casually doesn't have a million dollars would be this young.

Megumi: Yeah! I am so excited to meet you, Elil-san. We are so lucky that you are not some old geezer, otherwise we would have called the police. 

Elil: Please don't call the police. As you can see I am not an old geezer.

Rioko: No no, we are not calling for the police.

Lena: We are really impressed that Elil-san is so successful at such a young age. 

Suddenly, 

Rioko: Yeah! We will talk about everything but before that, we should introduce ourselves.

Lena & Megumi: We totally forgot about this.

Rioko: I am Rioko Nakajima. I am responsible for the script and screenplay. 

Lena: I am Lena Ogawa. I handle cameras and recording. I also did all the editing in the video. 

Megumi: I am Megumi Nakano. My responsibility is to find sponsorship and do publicity. We all are responsible for different tasks. 

Rioko: We all give our best to our audience. 

Lena: Thus, We are known as 'Cunning Maiden'.

After listening to them, 

Elil: I have to appreciate all of you that your content is really interesting. 

Rioko: Thank you for your appreciation.

Megumi: We are really grateful that you donated $10 million to us.

Elil: You don't need to mention it.

Lena: Mr.Elil, I know this is rude to ask but do you have any ulterior motive?

Rioko: Lena, that's rude. 

Megumi: We are sorry Elil-san. She is just too straightforward, girl.

Lena: But all you know in this there is nothing 'free meal'.

After listening to her, everyone is suspicious of him. And that's obvious, no one can spend millions of dollars without reason. Then, Rioko spoke,

Rioko: Elil-san, we also want to know why you spent so much money on us.

Elil: If I say I just want to spend. Would you believe it?

Megumi: No, we don't. Please tell us your motive. Otherwise, we have to return your money. This is so much for us. We don't want to be indebted to anyone. Thus, we choose this profession. 

Lena: Yeah! All three of us choose to be streamers. Then, we don't need to work under anyone else. We are really thankful to you but you have to explain. 

Rioko: Please, tell us your motive. 

They were forcing him to tell them the truth. He was under pressure about what he should do. Then, he speaks with Isabel,

Elil: What should I do?

Isabel: How should I know? You have to solve it on your own. Bye…

Elil: You…

Afterwards, he was thinking about what he should say. Then, he suddenly remembered something and said,

Elil: Okay, Let me tell you. I have been watching your stream for a long time. I was amazed that you don't charge anyone for unnecessary subscriptions. You have top-level content. You all are talented. I am so fascinated. I researched on you and I found you all three are orphans. Thus, you all three donate so much to the orphanage. That's made my heart move. This is a noble cause. Thus, I thought I should help all of you and please don't understand it pity. This is all for your performance because I love it. That's all. 

After he finished his words. He looked at them. Their faces were red and embarrassed.

Rioko: Okay, okay, we understand. 

Megumi: Elil-san is quite a thoughtful person. We have never met anyone you like in our whole life. We always thought all men are scumbags. But you are different. 

Lena: Stop it, Elil-san. We are satisfied with your answer. This is our fault that we were suspicious of you but you are a noble person. 

Elil: It's not like this. I am also your patron.

Rioko: We are really impressed with you that such a nice person like you exists.

Elil: Please don't embarrass me. It's just a little money. 

Megumi: It's a little money. Elil-san, this will be little money for you but it is our whole year's income. 

Lena: I am also sorry for my rudeness. Please forgive me.

Elil: It's okay. This is really important to ask about another person's motive because there are many with bad intentions. You should be proud of it, Lena-san.

Rioko: In our little chatting session we totally forgot about our lunch. Let's order it. 

Megumi: Yeah! Yeah! It's true.

Lena: Yeah! I am also so hungry.

Elil: Then we should order something. 

They were enjoying their lunch with a little chit-chat. 

Lena: We have to accept that Elil-san is quite successful for his age.

Megumi: Yeah! Lena-chan is right. I think no one would just casually spend millions of dollars. 

Rioko: Elil-san's background is so powerful because it took too much willpower to perform this stunt. 

Elil: You all are embarrassing me now. This is a little money for me. 

When they were talking with each other. Suddenly, Isabel spoke,

Isabel: Look like Master is now getting better at boasting or this is the power of 'Legendary Braggart'.

Elil: You need a serious scolding, my dear. Let's talk about this in-house.

After listening to Elil, Isabel got chills and said, 

Isabel: Master, what happened?

Elil: Don't worry we will talk about it, later. Let's focus on lunch. 

After finishing with Isabel, he said,

Elil: I am so happy to meet all of you. It's seriously a wonderful meeting for all of you.

Rioko: Mr.Elil, it's all our pleasure that we were able to meet someone like you. 

Megumi: Yeah! To meet such a charming and gentle person. We were so lucky. I really wish we could meet frequently. 

Elil: Why not? It would be my pleasure. 

Lena: I always thought all men are scumbags but I have to admit you are different. You respect our work and passion. Thank you so much.

Rioko & Megumi: As Lena-chan said we are honestly thankful to you. 

Elil: Now, you all embarrassing me. I really want to be friends with everyone. 

Lena: We will also be willing to. 

Rioko: It's fantastic. That one of our friends is rich. 

Elil: No no, I'm not that great instead all of you are more amazing than me.

Megumi: Elil-san, this is your politeness. 

They all were talking to each other. Suddenly all three of them started discussing with themselves and staring at each other. They were giving the signal to each other and also looked a little nervous and confused. Then,

Elil: What happened to all of you? Are you okay?

Megumi: Nothing much…Hmm… we just need some help.

Elil: Why don't you tell me if possible I would able to help you.

Megumi: I think this is inappropriate to ask after you helped us so much.

Elil: Don't worry. Just tell me. 

Rioko: Elil-san, we need some financial help.

Elil: How much?

Rioko: It is a huge amount we like to do something on our own.

Elil: If tell you clearly then I will invest and the amount is not a problem. 

Lena: Elil-san, leave them alone. They are nervous. Let me explain. 

Elil: Yes, tell me , Lena-san.

Lena: As you know we are streamers and content creators. 

Elil: Yeah!

Lena: You also know we have adopted so few orphanages due to this our income is insufficient to fulfil these requirements. 

Elil: Okay.

Lena: Thus, we thought we should start our streaming platform in which we heir streamers. For the initial phase, we will do all the work but after some time we will start growing our platform. For this we need funds. We are trying to find some investors but we are facing problems while finding investors. We thought if you help us we shall be very to you. Don't worry. We will be donating 25 percent of our revenue. We know that this is very risky to invest in some random startup. But we promise you, your money shouldn't be wasted on us and also you will be the biggest shareholder in the company.

Elil: How much do you need?

Rioko, Megumi & Lena: What?

Elil: I said, "How much do you need?"

Rioko: Do you not want to investigate about us anymore? 

Elil: No.

Rioko: But why?

Elil: I don't need to. Just tell me how much.

Megumi: Are you sure?

Elil: Yes, I am absolutely sure.

Lena: Are you not making fun of us?

When they all were amazed, suddenly their mobile phone vibrated. They checked their smartphone.

Lena: WTF!

Rioko: Holy shit! How many zeros are there?

Megumi: OMG! $500 million.

Elil: Are you okay?

Megumi: You sent us $500 million. 

Elil: Yeah! This much should be enough to start.

Lena: This is too much money.

Elil: This much is necessary to set up a multinational company. 

Rioko: But we never said that we are launching our platform worldwide.

Elil: It's okay. Now, you can. 

Rioko: But we can't accept this much. 

Elil: Don't worry. 

Lena: This is too much to handle for us. 

Elil: No no, I believe you would establish the best streaming platform.

Lena: But…

Elil: No but just accept it. And also I would be your biggest investor. 

Megumi: But still. 

Elil: Just get used to this. You are my friend and business partner from now on.

Rioko: Elil-san, This is really too much. 

Elil: No no, just accept it. 

After pursuing them, sometimes they accept it. After having when they were about to leave.

Elil: I have a gift for all of you. 

Rioko: We can't accept anything else.

Megumi: Yeah! Yeah!

Lena: Please no more.

Elil: Come this is a normal gift and promise me. All of you accept it obediently without any questions.

Lena: But…

Elil: Just promise me…

Rioko: Okay, we promise you and also what choose we have? We wouldn't be able to defeat you anyway. 

After promising him. He handed them the property paper.

Lena: What is this?

Elil: This is the registration paper for your new home.

Rioko: But…

Elil: All of you have already promised me.

Megumi: But Elil-san…

Elil: No, but I am now leaving. I have an important meeting to attend. I am going, my precious friends and business partner. Bye and also congratulations on your new him. 

Afterwards, he left. They were talking to each other.

Lena: He is such a bizarre person. 

Rioko: You should say an incredible person with an amazing personality.

Megumi: He is charismatic and gentle but still domineering and powerful.

Lena: His financial sources are astronomical. If we calculate he just spent more than a billion dollars on us.

Megumi: I don't have words to explain him.

Rioko: Yeah! You are right, Megumi-chan. He gave $500 billion to start our own streaming platform. I still think I am in a dream.

Lena: No, he seriously gave us and didn't even put any condition. Don't you think he has an ulterior motive?

Rioko: I don't know but we should start doing our work. So, if he asks what we are doing. We can tell him.

Megumi: You are right. I think this opportunity we have been waiting for till now. Don't you think?

Lena: Yeah! Megumi is right. I don't know what his intentions but we can't give up on this opportunity. We should establish the biggest streaming platform. 

Megumi & Rioko: Yeah! We will.

Rioko: I think we should also move to our new house.

Megumi: Yeah! You are right. I am also curious about our house. 

Lena: The place which is mentioned in the property paper is nearby. Let's see.

Afterwards, they went to look for their new home. When they reached there,

Lena: Holy shit! Is this the place we are going to live?

Megumi: OMG! He seriously gave us such an extravagant villa.

Rioko: That's not all. He gave each of us our personnel villa. All three villas are present in the line. 

Lena: Why is he generous to us?

Rioko: How could I know?

Megumi: I think he likes us so much. 

When Megumi said that, then everyone was engrossed in their own world.

Rioko thought, " Does he like me? Does he want to live with me? No no no, this is not possible. How could such a perfect man like him would love me? Every woman was hovering around him but he still gave me such a huge villa. If he proposes to me suddenly, what will I do? It's is still too early to marry but I still can't deny him. I will tell him we should first start by trying to understand each other. Then, move on to marriage. If he can't control himself. This would be embarrassing for me but I still try to cooperate. Awww… This is embarrassing."

Megumi thought, " I definitely know he loves me so much. This is his way of showing how much he loves me. He was also so kind toward me earlier. Elil-san, how could such a perfect man exist in this world? I am not that good for you. But just for him, I will become a perfect wife, a perfect daughter-in-law and a perfect mother. I just can't wait to meet him anymore. Thank God for the blessing that I met Elil-san in this life. After meeting him, it looked like my cold and lonely nights had come to an end. Now, my life will experience a beautiful and warm spring of love. Awww…I am feeling shy just thinking about when will he approach me. But this is time to rest, I have a very important task to complete. He gave us this much money. So that I could become capable of becoming her wife. I will surely become a capable wife who deserves you. Awww…My sweetheart."

Lena thought, " He looks gentle and kind from the outside but he is truly cunning a person on the inside. He thought that he could manipulate us with just money. He underestimates us. We will not fall into his trap. But on the other if I think he is quite handsome. No no no, Lena, you can't fall in his trap. But he spent a billion dollars on us. Who spent this much money on someone else? Ahhh! I am so confused. Yeah! I'm grateful to him but he can't just take my heart like that. He has to show his sincerity. Ahhh! What the hell am I thinking? Am I gone insane? Huh!"
