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
Chapter 173Jaguar had his left hand on the duvet with his right hand on her head, she was still in the business of wet kissing his dick when her phone started ringing. "Hold on, I think it's an important call you should answer," Jaguar muttered gazing at her phone on the table."It can't wait, Jakes, what matters right now is getting done with what I am doing," she replied, gazing at him. Jake shook his head, "No, this can wait, just answer the call."Isla got up not happy, you could tell from the displeasing look on her face. She walked to the table and picked up the phone, and returned it to the table when she saw it was her husband calling."Why did you return the phone, won't you answer the call?" Jake asked, staring at her. She shook her head and walked back to the bed, "Don't worry, it's not a call from an important person."Jaguar wasn't having any of it, so he left the bed and walked over to the table, by the time he got there the phone had stopped ringing. He picked up th
Chapter 174Adrian tapped Jay on his shoulder, "Jay, I need to speak to you, it's important, it's about Audrey."He paused, wearing a serious look, "Audrey? Hope all is fine. Did she get into an accident?" Adrian laughed, tapping him lightly on his shoulder, "No she didn't, come with me let's talk outside." They both walked out and sat down on the two chairs which were outside, "I am listening to Adrian."Adrian exhaled, not knowing how to start the conversation, he was afraid of sounding authoritative and nosy at the same time. "Jay, what I am about to discuss with you, has been on my mind for a while. The reason I haven't discussed this is because I didn't see anyone I could discuss this with.Well, I am glad I met you and I think I can now discuss this with you," he raised his fingers, "Let me guess what this is about, you want me to try convincing her to get active and serious with the family business right?" Adrian nodded his head, not knowing if to get excited that Jay knew wh
Chapter 175The SUV drove into a vast compound, he was taken aback by it. The only time he saw a place so vast as this was in movies, but he quickly comported himself, he couldn't let them be aware that he was not used to seeing stuff like this.This was three times bigger than the Grayson mansion, he began to wonder, if the outside was this vast and stunning, how would the inside look? The door was opened and he stepped out with his dark shades on, he arranged his suit, looked around the building, and smiled before walking on the red carpet that led to the entrance of the door.Immediately he got to the door, it opened on its own, he was impressed, but he still had to act like it was not a big deal. Whereas the Graysons didn't even have a single automatic door even with the amount of wealth they have amassed over the years.He was led to a large sitting room and his jaw dropped, the sitting room was the size of a movie cinema. It got him thinking if this was the original plan to buil
Chapter 176Adrian thought about this wisely and spoke up with his jaw under his arm, "You know the familiar saying, ladies first. Why not go ahead and tell me about yourself, I am just being a gentleman."Her face lit up, "My God, I am falling deeper in love with you." She sat up, "My name is Hailey, the only child of Mr. Wilson and of course Mr. Wilson's only lovely, priceless daughter. I am my father's priceless jewel, he doesn't take a shit when it comes to me.He is highly protective of me, he wants the best for me, anyone who tries to hurt me through any means will surely answer to my father," Adrian swallowed hard looking away. She noticed it and chuckled, "Don't tell me you are scared, well you don't have to be scared, because you don't look like one who's capable of causing any form of harm to me."Adrian nodded his head, "In addition, I am a queen, and anyone who plans on dating me must have that in mind." She muttered and Adrian quickly spoke up, "That's great, but I don'
Chapter 177Mr. Brooks walked towards his favorite table and sat down, thanks to his disguise, they wouldn't be able to recognize him. The only way they might recognize him might be through his voice. But he doesn't plan on speaking to them, and he doesn't foresee any situations that would make them speak to him or vice versa.He made up his mind to eavesdrop on their conversation, no matter how low their tone was, he was determined to hear what they had to say. A female waitress walked towards him, dressed in a white plain shirt and black trousers. "Good afternoon sir, what would you love to have?""Brown coffee with milk," he replied with a smile gazing into her eyes while she smiled back at him, before walking away. Mr. Brooks brought out his phone, pretending to be surfing through the net. He was only taking time to wait for his coffee and trying to get his ears to get acquainted with the different voices.(A few minutes later)The lady returned with a cup of coffee on a tray, sh
Chapter 178(Four Hours Later)Adrian was seated, with his gaze on the city, "You know it's nice having a great view of the city, from a tall building like this," Mr. Brooks asked as he walked into the room.Adrian quickly stood up and turned towards the door where Mr. Brooks was standing, "Come in Mr. Brooks," he replied.Mr. Brooks walked in and they both shook hands, before they sat down, "What would you love to eat?" Adrian asked, staring at Mr. Brooks who had his gaze on his phone."I am fine, I don't consume food or drinks at night except water," he replied. Adrian nodded his head, "Oh, you are on a diet or are you watching your weight?" "Both, " he replied and placed his phone on the cylindrical table before them. Mr. Brooks exhaled, with his gaze on Adrian, "I don't want to waste your time, but what I am about to tell you was what I heard. Nobody told me, I was there and I heard the discussion, well this happened in the afternoon today.""Okay, go on," Adrian said and sat up
Chapter 179(The next day)Liam woke up when a call came into his phone, he answered immediately, "Good morning boss, the bottled water will be coming into the mansion this morning and the poisoned table water will be delivered to your office in the next thirty minutes.""That's a great, good morning, I will send in your balance immediately after I get to the office," Ethan exhaled and hung up. He sat up and exhaled again, "Today's going to be a great day, we might have two to three casualties," he paused, though feeling uncertain that Adrian might somehow escape or cheat death like he did in the past."There's no harm in trying right?" He muttered as he picked up his phone and dialed Mr. Richard's line, he picked up immediately, "The packs of bottled water will be in the mansion soon. I believe before the end of today, we will have both of them dead.""That's great, you are doing a great job, see you in the office" Mr. Richard replied as he got away from his bed."Yeah, see you in
