Adrian’s jaw twitched at Paul’s words and Anita could feel him stiffen so she grabbed his hand and subtly signaled for him to calm down. Adrian took a deep breath to calm himself, then he glanced back at Paul who had a smug smirk on his face.

“Paul,” he began, a bit of anger still evident in his tone. “I recall you saying you’re a departmental head at Crestwood investment, is that right?”

Paul raised his shoulder haughtily. “Of course I am. Why? Do you want me to put in a good word for you? Just say it and I can snag you a job as a janitor.”

Some of the classmates snickered at Paul’s words and stared at Adrian mockingly.

Adrian’s lips twitched into a mischievous smile, not letting Paul’s jabs affect him in the slightest. “Interesting. But no, Paul, I don’t need a job. Actually I asked you because I have a mean sixth sense, you know. It’s rarely wrong and it’s telling me something right now.”

Paul chuckled, shaking his head in mock interest. “Oh yeah? What’s it telling you?”
