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
Chapter 195Hailey couldn't stop fantasizing about Adrian, she had been in her room throughout the day, just thinking about him. Her father walked to her room and knocked on the door, "Hailey, are you fine? You haven't stepped out of your room, and you didn't even touch your breakfast, what's going on?"She smiled as she left the bed and walked to the door, " Give me a few minutes Dad." She opened the door and he walked in, her father stood staring at her, "Are you fine?" Hailey nodded her head, "I am fine dad, I just decided to remain in your room.""You just decided to stay in your room, that's odd coming from you, talk to me what's wrong Hailey, you know you are my daughter there's nothing I can't do for you," he said touching her cheeks with a smile on his face. She nodded her head, and threw her arms in the air, "Yes Dad, I am fine, but I need your help, and I need it immediately.""You need it immediately, what's this?" He asked with a puzzled face, with his arms crossed. "
Chapter 196"Where are you going?" Isla asked, "My former boss needs me, do you have a problem with that?" He asked as he gently lifted her from his lap. "No, I don't, I will drop you off," she replied as they both walked out of his apartment and headed straight to her car, they got to where her car was parked, he got in and she drove back home. "Just in the space of a day, you have two meetings with Mr. Xinao, the first one was immediately with Adrian, and the rest left. You left me and went to meet him, and you are going again for the second time. I know this is your work, but don't you think you are neglecting me?" She asked as they both got into the car. "Neglecting you, how?" Jakes asked as he put on his seat belt, "Seriously? You are asking me how? You don't even know you are neglecting me, wow, just wow, this is huge," she replied shocked. "Isla, I don't know what you are talking about, sincerely I don't have any idea about what you are saying," he defended himself. "You
Chapter 197Aaron walked into the bar feigning wrath, he had already begun his mission of reconciling with his father. His father saw him and was shocked at the way he was breathing, "Aaron, hold on, hold on, what's going on, what's with the look on your face?" "Dad, I think I made one of the worst mistakes in my life by deciding to stand alone. I found out that I won't amount to much being alone. I thought teaming up with Adrian would be of help, but that guy just wanted to use me. He cares only about himself, he likes being in the limelight and he doesn't care about those around or beyond him. I fucking hate him, I know he's the reason why I came into this family business tussle, since I am in already, I think it's fair enough to give him a run for his money."Mr. Richard was shocked he never believed his son would be this bitter and angry at Adrian, this was what he always wanted, he wanted him to see the reason why he needed to stick with him. He wanted him to know he was the on
