The next day, Adrian was ready for his flight, which was going to take off by 11:00 am, but his grandfather had asked to have a talk with him, by 9 am, so that he would still be able to catch up with his flight, no matter how long their discussion was going to take, which he clearly had no intentions of making it take so long.“So, I have also called you to wish you good luck on your trip, and what you are going there, for. As I withdrew all that I gave you, I wrote a will, that you will only acquire all my wealth when you have a kid from a woman you love.”“Grandfather!” Adrian voiced out in shock as he rose to his feet. “This isn’t what we agreed on,” Adrian spoke bitterly and also tried his best not to sound disrespectful.“I know. I only said it’s when you acquire all my wealth, but I am going to will a part of my wealth to you when you come back from your trip after being successful in what you went to do.” His grandfather assured him, calmly.Adrian understood that his grandfath

He looked back abruptly, hoping he wasn’t about to experience an unfortunate incident. But thankfully, his eyes fell on the lady whom he met at the airport earlier.“What are you doing around here?” Adrian asked, out of curiosity, wondering if she was following him.“I should be asking that. I thought you said you were going to wait for a cab. Why are you walking with your luggage in your hand?” She questioned, giving Adrian a look that seemed like she knew his kind of person; that is people who are too stubborn to listen.“Even if I followed you, won’t I have to walk? The only difference is I won’t have to carry my luggage.”Then the lady burst out in laughter.“Are you for real? So, you thought I meant I was going to carry your bag, and then we’ll walk to your destination? Oh, come on. This is the 21st century.” She said as she dabbed her hand.“You mean you own a cab?” Adrian questioned, looking taken aback.“Yeah, I do. I actually walked backward to ease myself as there are no woo

Chapter twenty three
His ears perked up naturally, eager to hear more. After his encounter with the strict receptionist, he was desperate for any lead on Steve Wilson. He just wasn't expecting it from a cab driver. “How did you know about Steve Wilson?” He questioned her, with a raised brow, keen to hear her response.“Well, it’s a story I don’t really want to talk about.” She responded dryly like she couldn't care less, but looking at her through the front mirror, he could tell that her countenance had fallen.It made Adrian even more curious. For her to have such a reaction to Steve Wilson, then it could only mean that she had to know him on a more personal level. An outsider watching Steve Wilson couldn't just have that kind of reaction. Moving forward, he spoke, “I came here to see Steve Wilson. You know something about him, don't you? How about telling me what you know about him? It shouldn't cost a lot, should it? You’ve been helping me since I got to Paris. How about you help me one more time?”

Chapter twenty four
Adrian was dumbfounded, and his heart began to pound in fear. How did he know him? Did he do research on his grandfather's company? Even still, he didn't think he ought to be recognized that easily. “What do you mean?” Adrian managed to ask, although he couldn't hide the tremble in his voice. “You know me?” Just then, Wilson barked out a laugh and walked towards him. He placed a hand on his chin, and raised his head, looking at him, even though he wasn't taller than Adrian was. “Young chap. You seem familiar. I just don't know where I've seen you.” He said, and his eyes fell on the fake business card.“Joe Turner.” He murmured. “You’re into tech?”“Yes, sir. Our company is intending to be one of the largest tech companies in the city. But of course, yours will still be greater than ours.” Adrian said, trying to banish the fear from his voice. “Let him go. He doesn't look like the con artists roaming around these days. And if he is, you all know how they end up.” The men left Adria

Adrian felt it couldn't be a co-incidence. Every place he passed through, the man was right there, a distance away from him.More like the man didn't want to be seen by him or sort. But Adrian wasn't a man who would just walk on the roads without being conscious of whatever was going on, around him."Who could this possibly be?" He questioned, under his breath.But then, it didn't take long before it came to him that it could actually be Wilson's man. He must have wanted to tail him, just to know more current details about him.Adrian then smiled. He planned to make the day an interesting one, for the spy. He was going to make them believe him by faking a lot of things until he felt it was time for him to go back to Blue Sky Hotel.The first place he headed to, was a coffee shop. In that coffee shop, he called out the attendant after she had served him coffee."Have you ever thought having the perfect entity to tell you the best outfit to wear for the day? Rather than having to ask di

The next day, he was contacted by Steve Wilson’s secretary, asking him to come over to the company, as Steve Wilson wanted to see him. Adrian was happy because he had been invited to Steve Wilson’s main company.It meant that Steve Wilson had gotten a level of trust in him, and it was certain he would be able to ruin him.After the call with the secretary ended, he put a call through, to Sophie.“He just called me, through his secretary. He invited me to his company.”“That’s good news!” Sophie voiced out, happily.“I know right?”“You know what? I will advise you to place a tapping device in his hospital when you see him. It is going to be really beneficial for you.”“Hmmm Alright then. I can just get one done, as quickly as possible.”“Exactly. That would be much better. So, are you going to come pick me up?” Adrian asked, After Adrian ended the call, he got prepared for his meeting, and when Sophie got to the hotel, he went down to meet her.“Alright, you know where I could get the

The next day, Adrian was ready for another plan that he wanted to utilize and hoped deeply that it was going to go the way he wanted.“So, all you just have to do is to make sure he believes it,” Lucas said, trying to confirm what they had agreed on.“Yes. And it can’t be complete without you answering my call, at the right time.”“Sure, I will.”Adrian and Lucas had planned that Adrian was going to call Lucas over the phone, for a video call with him and Steve Wilson. Lucas was going to act like he had once invested in the idea that they were bringing in for Steve Wilson.“Okay, bro. I got to go, now. Steve Wilson has agreed to see me.”“Wish you success.” Adrian stepped out of the hotel. Sophie pulled up, and he got into her car. “So, I’m going to drop you off, halfway, and then you can enter into another cab.”He and Sophie had agreed that he would only be using her can as transport, while he paid the fare, as a reward for helping him. So, Adrian was going to be a daily passenger f

Adrian waited for a response, anxiously, wondering what was going to be the end result of all his plans. As he stood, his heartbeat couldn’t help but beat fast.“Alright, so we have agreed on something, and our answer is going to be that… We’re going to try out this investment, and when we say try out, we mean we’re going to go all-in.” Steve Wilson said, with a smile.Adrian almost voiced out a yes, victoriously, but he knew that would be too suspicious. He had to be on a low profile, until things worked out for him, regarding this Steve Wilson’s mission which his grandfather sent him on.“Oh! That’s a great decision, I promise you.” Adrian said, with a smile, and they all chuckled.“So, when should my secretary make the payment?” Steve Wilson asked as he leaned his chin on his clasped fingers.“Well, tomorrow is fine,” Adrian answered, hoping they were going to agree because he had limited time.He would have said today, but as he didn’t want to make anything seem suspicious, he had

As Adrian got into a cab, he put a call through to Sophie.“Hey Sophie, how’s it going?” He asked her as he leaned on the car’s backseat.“It’s going pretty well. I’ve managed to engage them, and we are all waiting for your signal.” Sophie reported, sounding like an expert.“Good. Anyways, you can tell them to start heading to this place in thirty minutes, so that they’ll be able to meet us in time.”“Alright then. Be careful, as well.” Sophie showed her concern.“Thanks. And you too.”He hoped that when things went well, and he had money, he would compensate her for all that she did, regardless of her being a stranger.He hung up, and let out a deep breath. He needed to do that as he was going to face a beast who could unleash at him if he found out that he was the one behind his downfall.On getting to SW company, he was escorted in, and Steve Wilson seemed to be in a good mood, along with the two men who were with him.“Morning, Adrian. It’s nice to see you.”“Same here, Mr. Steve W

Adan was filled with joy on his way back to the hotel. Sophie and Lucas were waiting for him, for them to rejoice together, and when he got there, they voiced out “Congratulations” to him.“Hey, buddy. I’m so happy for you.” Lucas uttered and patted his shoulder.“Same here. Congratulations on staying strong and defeating the almighty Steve Wilson.” Sophie added, with a captivating smile.“Thanks so much, guys. I couldn’t have done it without you. We all know that, and I’m so grateful. Who would have been able to keep everything confidential, if not you both?”“Enough with the praises. My head is about to blow up.” Lucas laughed out loud.They all laughed happily. ~They had spoken about a lot until Adrian went to a secluded area to call his grandfather.“Hello, grandfather. How are you doing?”“I’m doing fine. I hope you know tomorrow is the last day, and I haven’t gotten any feedback from you, son.”“I’m sorry, grandfather. But that’s because I didn’t want to give you information o
