Chapter 165(The next day)Adrian woke up after his alarm blared hard, he smiled when he remembered what Audrey had done yesterday. Instead of driving home, she stopped at a bar and asked that they have a little drink with her before going home.They agreed, but she was the only one who ended up getting drunk when they were leaving the bar. Aaron decided to drive since Audrey was drunk, but they had to drop Isla off before driving to the mansion.He stood up and did his morning routines, dressed up, and was about to step out when Martinez walked into his room with a shocked look on his face. "What's that look on your face?" Adrian asked as he adjusted his suit."When did you return boss? I came to your room to check up on you but you weren't in your room. And if I remember, that was around quarter to twelve.""Yeah, I came in a few minutes past one, come on walk me to the car, I don't want to be late for work," Martinez collected the briefcase Adrian was holding as they both walked
Chapter 166Ethan had one of his hands on the wheel and the other at the door, he had calculated it already. Eight seconds for the collision to happen, he was going to jump out of the car.His only wish when he jumped out, there shouldn't be an incoming vehicle. If by any chance there is an incoming vehicle, he is probably dead.Adrian decided to take a look at his side mirror and that was when he noticed the car behind him. He was shocked at the speed of the car and how close it was to him, but he didn't really think about it.Just eight seconds later, Ethan did the unbelievable leaving his brother in shock, he jumped out of the car, luckily there was no incoming vehicle when he landed on the road with his back on the floor. The next thing Liam heard was, boom! Adrian hit his head on the wheel and passed out, the same thing happened to Liam. Ethan smiled and flagged down a cab, he wasn't going to go home, neither was he heading to the office, he was going to have a chilled drink in
Chapter 167"Ethan I asked a question, what's bothering you?" He chuckled, "It's nothing, I guess I am just caught up in the euphoria of what just played out. Well, from the looks of things, I don't think that plan of mine can be realized…But I am going to come up with something soon and you should also come up with a plan. You know the popular saying, "two good heads are better than one right?"Liam nodded his head, "Yes, you are right Ethan, two good heads are better than one. Sorry for the inconvenience I caused you this morning, I will return to my room," he paused, "That reminds me, you know it's been a while we showed up at the office, don't you think we should show up today? You know we need to give a good impression of ourselves, it will make Elder Jackson think we are diligent and that we have the office at heart."Ethan nodded his head, "That's a good idea, just give me a few minutes to get ready." Liam nodded his head and returned to his room to dress.Adrian woke up after
Chapter 168It was at that point he knew he had to intensify his search in getting the book, the past occupant of his body wrote down bad and painful events."Martinez, I am fine without those drugs, the drugs have been able to work to a certain point and have improved my immune system," Adrian replied as he stepped out of the box with a towel wrapped around his waist.He stepped out of the bathroom and walked into the room, "Seriously boss, I am not happy about this, but it's okay, I understand."Adrian paused and walked towards him, "Martinez, I wish I could explain this to you, but I can't, I don't really need these drugs, I am fine." Adrian wished he could just inform him he wasn't his former boss, but someone else who bore the same name as his former boss.He was just an occupant of his boss's body, because of a mission he has to fulfill before the mark on his wrist fades away. Yet, he hasn't been able to identify what the mission is all about."It's alright, hurry up boss, you d
Chapter 169Mr. Henry Wilson looked over his shoulder where Mr. Leonard was standing, "Do you have any idea why Adrian didn't show up?"He nodded his head as they both walked out of the conference room after Elder Jackson had left, "Yeah, he decided to take the day off, you know he just came out of a coma and he resumed work immediately, even when we wanted him to rest. But it looks like it's taking a toll on him and he has decided to take some days off.""Oh, that's great of him, you know we need to get the body in good shape to be able to function well. Please inform him that I would love to have him at my place, I would love to have a one-on-one session with him."Mr. Leonard raised a brow, "Have a one-on-one session, can't this happen or take place in the office, why are you opting for your house?""Nothing special, I just want my daughter to meet him, you understand what I mean right?" He asked and they both burst into laughter."Come on, you could have come out straight instea
Chapter 170Mr. Leonard shook his head, chuckling, folding his hands on his chest, "I know the tricks you are up to, I know what you want to do Monica. You are looking for a way for me to spend time with you right?"Monica kept shut wearing a straight face, "Come on, speak up Monica isn't that what you want?" She shook her head in return and huffed, trying to understand why he was thinking in such a way. "Are you okay Leo? Are you okay? Give me one reason why I will consider spending time with you. In case you aren't aware, I have a lover, who cares and does various things for me…You know, I have always wanted to blackmail you into giving me more money, since you don't want people to know about our relationship and that I have a child for you. But when I met him, I opened up my decision to him, I thought he would give me the go-ahead, but guess what?"She paused, gazing at him, "He agreed and that's why you are here?" Mr. Leonard replied.Monica shook her head, "You are wrong, he di
Chapter 171(Few Hours Later)Aaron, Martinez, Jay, and Adrian all stepped out of the black Rolls-Royce, Elder Jackson got for him a few weeks back. "Guys, we are here to have fun and not work, it's been a while since I did this, but I am glad we are about to do this. Come on guys, let's go have fun."They all got into the boat, and slowly it drifted away from the dock, Jay was still shocked he couldn't believe he was on the same boat with influential and wealthy guys like, Adrian Grayson and Aaron Grayson.(Few Hours Ago)Adrian walked to the verandah with his laptop in his hands, he was on a video call with an investor with a client in China who planned on being a business partner. He has been on the neck of Elder Jackson, but he wasn't cool with it, so he decided to get Adrian involved.Adrian did his homework and found out the Chinese guy was one of the biggest tech gurus not just in China but in the whole of Asia. He wasn't just coming in as an investor but also as a partner, lo
Chapter 172(Present)Adrian clapped his hands after they dropped their bags, they both turned towards him, "I know I made it clear that we aren't coming here to work right?""Yes, boss,""Yes sir,""Yes sir."Adrian exhaled, "At the same time, it's impossible to be here just having fun without doing anything profitable. Please, when you see me answering calls, or on my laptop, don't judge me, just let me be. If you also think, you just can't spend all your time having fun with the ladies who will be joining us soon. You are free to step back and make good use of your time."Unknown to them, Adrian had two reasons for the boat cruise, one was to get away from work and not really to have fun, secondly, he wanted to evaluate Aaron and Jay.*******Audrey was preparing to leave her room when a call came in, it was Emma calling. She stared at her phone in disbelief, "Emma?" She returned her phone to her bag and walked out of her room, the butler who was standing at the door, took hold o
