Chapter 82Adrian walked over to where he was standing, "Give me your hands," he said stretching his hands towards Adrian, Adrian placed his hands in his and walked him back to his seat. "This is what it means to have a high mentality, this is what it means to behave like a Grayson. We are to do greater things and not smaller things."Everyone was quiet, as they continually gazed at him, "I would love to make things straight, I ain't saying I am choosing him as the heir of this great institution. Peradventure you were in my shoes, who would you choose as the heir, who do you think is the right person to take over this company?"They all knew it was a rhetorical question, but he was also trying to draw their attention toward what might possibly happen anytime soon. But beyond that it was a call to celebrate the new feat, orchestrated solely by Adrian, it's really a feat that would go down in the books of history of the Grayson family."We all have everything we want, we aren't less
Chapter 83"Let's get him killed?" Ethan and Liam whispered but not loud enough for Audrey to hear. Madeline nodded her head, "That's the only way out, but take note, it doesn't mean you guys won't have to put in work. You both will be resuming tomorrow, it's either you do what you have to do, or you forever miss out on having a share in the inheritance.""Why are you guys whispering?" Audrey asked as she got on her feet, and walked towards them. "Just some formal stuff," Liam replied. Madeline sized Audrey with her eyes before walking away. In a shocking turn of events, Liam and Ethan both walked out on her. She became confused, what in the world was happening? She felt the urge to go after them, but she resisted and walked out of Liam's room, heading towards her room.Immediately she brought out her phone and made a call to her boyfriend, it rang for a few minutes before he answered, "You almost gave me a heart attack, what prevented you from picking up the call?""Hmmmmmm, som
Chapter 84Madeline was shocked, she couldn't believe her ears or her sight, "Did Audrey just walk out on me, or am I dreaming?" She laughed over it and walked out of the room. Adrian, who wanted to be all alone and think about what he needed to do next since the mark on his wrist was slowly clearing up. Suddenly he heard the bell of his door ring, he got up angrily, "I can't even have time for myself in this house." He moved towards the door, "Who's that?""Audrey," she sobbed, Adrian on hearing her reply, quickly opened the door, "What happened Audrey, why are you crying? It's not been a while since we returned from dinner and you are crying?""It's my Mum, she asked that I block my boyfriend and cut him off from my life," she sobbed as she sat down."Why? And what prompted such a decision?""I was on a call with him, a few minutes back, I had no idea she was eavesdropping on my call. It got to a point where he asked about my Mum's health. She walked in at that point and asked
Chapter 85Ethan and Liam both stepped out of their rooms dressed up for work, they walked to the dining where breakfast had been served. Adrian walked out with Martinez behind him, carrying his office bag which contained some files, his laptops, and other important materials.Adrian and Martinez were shocked when they saw Ethan and Liam dressed up, "Good morning brothers, is there a special function going on?"They both chuckled without giving him an answer, immediately Aaron walked in also dressed in a black suit, "Good morning cousin brothers," he said as he sat down to eat.Adrian raised his brow, was this a dream or what? He couldn't believe what was happening. He leaned backward towards Martinez, "Am I dreaming or is this a skit?""None boss, please hurry up with your breakfast if not you might be late for work," Martinez replied. Adrian nodded his head and sat down, waiting to be served by the maids.Audrey walked out ready for school, she walked towards the dining, "Good mor
Chapter 86Aaron came out of his car and sighed when he got into the building, "I am not happy I am going to do this, but I don't have a choice right?" He exhaled and walked into the office, only to hear his name from behind.He turned and saw his cousin brother, "Not again," he grumbled within while wearing a fake smile. "What's up Aaron, you seem upset, aren't you happy about what's about to happen?" Liam asked."Happy? Happy is an understatement, I can't wait to get started," he chuckled. "If that's the case, come with me as I show you around," Adrian said as he took the lead, they nodded their heads and tailed him.Immediately they stepped in, they became the center of attraction, everyone's eyes were on them. As they walked, they could hear their names on the lips of the workers and non-workers."You will have to get used to it, they are always like this when they see a Grayson, don't let it get into your head. You are here to work and make money, and not to get praised or wo
Chapter 87Ethan, Liam, and Aaron stood gazing around, as they awaited the HR, "What's taking her this long to show up?" Liam asked, gazing at his wristwatch."I have no idea, if this is how she acts, then she risks being fired. Isn't she aware of the caliber of people she will be attending to?" Aaron asked."I am in awe, I can't wait to set my eyes on her and give her a piece of my mind," Ethan said with his hands in his pocket. They waited for a few minutes, yet she didn't show up.They decided to exercise patience, by the time they looked at their wristwatch, one hour had gone. "Gosh, I can't believe this. Is this the grand welcome we get on our first day? Being stranded on the first day we decided to resume," Aaron complained."Let's move to Adrian's office and inform him about what's going on, we just can't stand here doing nothing," Ethan suggested and immediately they moved to his office. They walked past Shilla, she acted like she didn't see them, from the look on their face
Chapter 88They walked out of the elevator beaming with a smile, the attention was once on them again. "Is this what we have to go through to be affiliated to the Graysons?" Ethan asked and Adrian nodded his head as they moved to the far left where there was an empty table."With time you will get used to it, for now just enjoy the attention that comes with it," Adrian said and the trio nodded their heads. Aaron cleared his throat, "Adrian tell me, what was your first day and first week like and how did you adapt?"Adrian became numb, if he was to answer such a question, he would answer it not as the past occupant of the body. "It was really tough, but my secretary helped me. One piece of advice was to get close to your secretary." Just then Shilla walked towards the table and joined them, "Good afternoon sirs," she said and sat down beside Adrian.Ethan, Liam, and Aaron all had their eyes on her, "Forgive my manners, I didn't introduce her to you. I guess you guys didn't see her
Chapter 89Rosa stared at the walls of her office which were made of glass, she reminisced about her meeting with Adrian. She still couldn't believe that it actually happened to her, she thought she had him in her grip, what did she do or say wrong?Different questions aired in her mind, "Rosa, Rosa," Mason her husband called out her name but she gave him no reply because she was lost in thought. It was when he got closer to her, and he called her name, she responded and jolted out of her thought."What's the problem, you look worried, what's on your mind, don't tell me nothing, don't lie to me about nothing being the problem. Talk to me my love, what's the problem?"Rosa exhaled, "You are right Mason, I ain't fine, a lot of things seem to be on my mind lately, and it's making me worried.""Making you worried? You planned on keeping this to yourself if I didn't ask right?" She turned towards him exhaled and walked to her seat, not gazing at him as she spoke, "Everything is just comp
