Chapter 187Adrian returned to his office, Mr. Downey Junior had left his office already, he brought out his phone and dialed the line of his father to report his uncle to him. Immediately his father answered, "Hello Adrian," he muttered."Dad, things are gradually going out of hand," he said in frustration."Calm down son, what's going on, what are you talking about, what happened, did anyone threaten you, did you just escape being killed?" Mr. Leonard asked."Dad, that's a lot of questions, but none of them. Can you believe that someone close to us tried to get me excommunicated from the family and the company," Adrian answered."How's that possible? How did it happen?" He asked, looking shocked and left his bed."Well, one of the junior colleagues came to my office with a fake document, according to him he wanted my signature on the document. I was about to sign it, but I paused and decided to go through the documents.Could you imagine that it was a fake document that involved st
Chapter 188Immediately after Rosa left her office, her husband Mr. Mason, quickly got into her office. He walked into her office wearing a face filled with no expression.Dude thought his wife was cheating on him with Mr. Adrian Grayson, but he just didn't want to confirm without getting concrete evidence. He walked over to her seat and sat down on her chair, he powered her monitor and quickly typed in her password, which was his name.Immediately the monitor opened, he moved the cursor straight to the Gmail app and clicked on it. It took a few seconds for it to open, and immediately it opened, and he wasted no time in typing Adrian's name on the search bar.He moved the cursor to the first name that popped up, he shot his head as he read through it. He was shocked, it was Rosa who was doing the booking of the hotels and restaurants. He scrolled down to previous messages and made sure he was. He checked every damn thing.By the time he was done, tears rolled down his eyes, he couldn'
Chapter 189"Dad, don't lose hope, though things are not going smoothly but it doesn't mean that we can't turn things around," Mason said.Mr. Hamilton nodded his head, "I am not losing hope son, I am just worried," Mason walked towards his father, "Dad, I know you care so much about this company, but you need to keep your composure. Worrying won't in any way solve whatever problem that's on ground. The best thing like I said earlier is to maintain your composure, that's all.""I am calm son, I am calm, you know what? I am out of here?" Mr. Hamilton stood up and walked out of his office. Mason had his head bowed to the ground, "Adrian, you are going to pay for this, you are surely going to pay for this. Not only are you planning on running my life and that of my company, but you are also interested in my wife. My wife, when it's possible for you to get any single lady of your choice, you still decide to come after my wife. I thought you would stop making my family and that of my dad
Chapter 190Adrian was about to speak when the waiter walked towards them and placed a golden tray on the table which contained the most expensive red wine."Thank you," they both chorused, the waiter placed the two glasses on the table and poured the wine into the glasses, "Enjoy your date Mr and Mrs," he returned the bottle of wine to the tray, before walking away."Let's make a toss to a long-lasting relationship," Adrian said sarcastically but Rosa didn't understand. "Cheers to a long-lasting friendship," they both muttered as they made a toast, before taking a sip."This tastes great, I am adding it to the collection of drinks in my room," Adrian replied, gazing at the bottle of wine beside him."Yeah, it's great, now I understand why it's the most expensive of all red wines," she muttered as she sipped again from her glass.They went on talking for a few hours, as they spoke, Rosa thought of a way to bring up the suggestion of Adrian walking her to the hotel room she had booke
Chapter 191"Yeah, you heard me right Adrian, Marriage, don't you think it's high time you get yourself a wife and settle down? I don't need to tell you this, but you aren't getting any younger, you need to get yourself a wife and build a family," Mr. Leonard replied."Dad, why are we talking about this?" Adrian asked as he dropped the glass of water looking displeased. His reply didn't sit well with his father, "Can you hear yourself, Adrian, can you hear yourself? You sit down there asking why are we talking about Marriage?" He was shocked, he couldn't believe it."Yes Dad, why are we talking about this, it's not like I am ready to start a family with any lady out there," Adrian replied."Adrian, I think you need to be checked, I don't know what's happening to you. Don't you know how important the constitution of marriage is for us and you personally?" Leonard asked, getting pissed up.Adrian got on his feet, "Dad, you heard me, I am not considering marriage, what's on my mind righ
Chapter 192"Aunt, let your mind be at rest, you don't need to be scared, it's just something I have to figure out with Adrian for my boyfriend," Audrey replied."Adrian? Did you inform him that you are coming?" Isla asked and she shook her head, "I am not sure he's around, you should call him to ask where he is.""Oh, I thought he was in his office," Audrey replied as she brought out her phone to dial Adrian's line. Adrian, who was trying to rest, got distracted by her call. He brought out his phone and answered her call, "What's up Audrey?""I am at your office and Jay will be joining me soon," she replied."I am not presently at the office and I don't think I will be returning anytime soon to the office, I might just head back home," He replied."Ohh, I guess that means it will be tomorrow right?" Audrey asked, "No, can't you both come over to the house?" Adrian asked."House right? I think that will be better, we will join you soon, I am going to inform Jay about it," Audrey rep
Chapter 193They all kept quiet gazing at Adrian, waiting for what he had to say, the atmosphere was so thick, that you could cut it with a knife Adrian exhaled, "The times ahead are not going to be great for us, it will surely demand a lot from us, but I want to believe we have everything it takes to face whatever our foes will throw at us. Not only that, we need to be strategic, do you understand what I am saying?""Yes," they all chorused, Audrey raised her hands immediately, Adrian nodded his head and she spoke up. "You said something about being strategic. Do you have any idea how we can implement that, you know, forming a fake alliance with our foes? I need to know, so I can know, sorry we can know what to do."Jay nodded his head, "Can I add to what she just said?" "Sure," Adrian nodded his head, "In addition to what she said." Audrey turned towards him, "What she said? Don't I have a name, or are you ashamed to address me as your love?""Come on kids, we aren't here for ga
Chapter 194Everyone's gaze was on Jay as they awaited what he had to say, "Can I take time to think about this?" he asked and they all shook their heads as they chorused "No." "What? I can't think about these?" He asked, looking shocked. "No, you can't, it's either you say yes or you say yes, we are not trying to force this on you, but we need you, we need someone like you and I believe, sorry did I just say I? We believe you have a lot to offer and you are going to be a good compliment to Aaron," Adrian answered. He tilted his head towards Audrey, there was no emotion on her face, he knew her to the extent he could tell what she wanted to say even without talking. He exhaled, "This is a hard choice, I don't think I have been at a crossroads like I am right now. To be sincere, I am skeptical about this, but if my life is at stake and the life of everyone seated here, it will be selfish of me to say no. So, you have it, it's a yes for me, I am in, and I have agreed to work with Aa
