“Well she doesn’t come here often but when she does, she stays in the hotel for a while.” “But doesn’t she seem young to own something like this.” Adrian said. “Well I don’t know the full details but it is her husband that bought the hotel for her, well let’s just say he is in a whole different level in terms of money. Michael was just an average guy. He was the only son of a middle class. With the connection he had he got a job which he just doing because he has so much free time. “What are you guys looking at?” Caroline came in between Adrian and Michael. Caroline looked at the direction they were looking at figured out what they were looking at, “Why are you guys looking at the owner of the hotel?” Michael turned to Caroline, “Hey there beautiful. The only one I can see now is you, so there is no other person I can be looking at.” Michael tries to flirt with Caroline. “I don’t think I have had the pleasure to introduce myself to you, I am Michael.” He continued. “Who we are looking at isn’t really your business Caroline.” Damian turned to her. “I see you already know her Adrian.” Michael said to Adrian. “Well I know her, she is my friend. We grew up together in the same orphanage.” Adrian replied. They did not know when Ciera got close to them, she was about go up the stairs to the hotel. Then the manager quickly walked up to Ciera and stopped her. “How are you doing ma’am? You are looking gorgeous as ever.” The manager said to Ciera. “Is my private room ready?” Ciera said to the manager. Adrian, Caroline and Michael could hear the discussion because they were close. “It is ready ma’am, just the way you like it.” The manager replied to Ciera. “Yeah the manager always sucks up to her because he wants to be in her good side so she can remember him in the future and reward him or something like that.” Michael said to Adrian with Caroline listening. “Please I don’t want to be disturbed while I stay here. Let it be like I am not even here and continue with your everyday work.” Ciera said and continued to walk up the stairs and to the hotel. When Ciera went out of their sight Adrian said, “Well I need to go back to work. You two should go back to work too.” Adrian turned back and started to walk away from Caroline and Michael. “Alright then, talk to you later Adrian?” Michael yelled. Caroline folded her arm and started to think about why Adrian seemed interested in the owner of the hotel. But her thoughts were interrupted by Michael, “I will need to get back to work but we will surely cross paths again my princess.” After he said that, Michael walked away and now Caroline was alone with her thoughts. There was so many mystery surrounding Adrian and the fact that she does not know most of it even though they have spent most of their lives together makes her feel sad. She was not interested in anyone and she did not want to be in a relationship but with Adrian, with how mysterious and private he was, she was interested in him. Adrian went strength to the kitchen to drop the menu he was holding. He knew that his plan was now in motion. Adrian knew who Ciera was before today and meeting her today at the other restaurant was not a coincidence, it was his plan. Before he started to work in the hotel, he did a deep research on it and found out a lot about it. He knew that the owner was Ciera and then did a deep background check on her. After doing all that, he did everything possible to secure a job at the hotel. Now Ciera was staying in the hotel for a while, he knew that he had to increase the pace of his plan. It was a long day and it was almost over. Adrian just dropped a food on a table, “Here you go sir, hope you enjoy the food.” Adrian walked back to the kitchen, he checked his watch and his shift was almost over and he was glad about that. Before he reached the kitchen, Caroline came out of the back room and walked up to him. “What is it?” Adrian asked Caroline. “The manager is calling us, I think he wants to announce something.” Caroline replied. “All of us? Why now we are almost done with our shift.” “Well I guess it seems important.” Caroline said. They both went to the back room. Adrian saw a group of employees both the hotel and restaurant workers. Caroline and Adrian went in front and the manager was in front of the group of employees. Adrian had some guesses of what the announcement would be but he just listened so that the manager can get it over with. “Sorry for calling you all here but this is when your shift ends and is the only time I can talk to you all like this. Don’t worry, when we are done here you are can go home or where ever you go when you leave this place. As you may know, the owner of this establishment just came in today and is staying for a while. Please I will need you all to work harder because I don’t want her to complain about anything while she is here. So please do your best.” Adrian knew that this was the information that the manger wanted to pass on, it was predictable. “I have already informed the other employees who have different shifts from you. With this you all can go, I will see you all tomorrow.” The manager concluded. The manager left the room and the employees started to leave. Caroline and Adrian dropped their apron and left the hotel through the back door. They were alone but they did not say anything to each other, it was awkward but they were used to it. “You seemed interested in the owner of the hotel today. It is unusual for you to be interested in something.” Caroline broke the silence. Adrian looked at her, “Well it was the first time I was seeing her, and I wanted to know who it was.” Sarah, Diego and Dan came out of the hotel and met Adrian and Caroline. “We should be going now, it will be dark soon.” Caroline said. “This is the best time of my day, leaving work.” Dan said. They started to walk, Adrian stood where he was while Caroline took the lead and Dan followed her behind with Diego. Sarah passed Adrian but before she walked far he asked, “Are you alright Sarah?” Sarah stopped and turned back, “Of course I am.” She smiled. Sarah turned back and continued to walk. It was easy for Adrian to tell that it was a fake smile.

While they were walking, Adrian could not stop thinking about what was up with Sarah. Normally he would not care and continue with his own business but the thought was occupied by a memory back at the orphanage. It was a cold night and it has been two years since Adrian came to the orphanage. He was depressed, wondering if his parents will ever come to take him back home even after knowing that there were dead. Because of the whole thought, he did not talk to anyone, and some of the other children in the orphanage could tell that he was different. He was not acting like someone who grew up from nothing like the rest of them and they bullied him for it. That night he was in the hallway in his wheelchair reading a book, the same book his father gave him. While he read, someone took the book from him, he looked up and saw three boys in front of him, the same boys that bully him. "Well look at that, he is reading. And what are you reading?" One of the boys took the book and l

"Who are you? What do you want from me? Do you know who I am?" The man asked. Adrian went closer to him, "Well I know you are a bully, an entitled one." "What do you mean by that? Let me go!" "Well I cannot do that yet, at least the outcome of this will tell if I let you go or not." Adrian walked backwards away from the man. "Of course I know who you are, I have done research on you while you were unconscious. And this also helped a lot." Adrian brought out a phone from his pocket, it was the man phone. The man looked at Adrian and realized that it was his phone, "What are you doing with my phone? What do you want?" "Benedict Newman, normally known as ben.

Ben started to feel dizzy, everything started to become distorted, he was slowly getting high. "Please don't leave me like this." Adrian went towards Ben and dropped his phone close to his legs, "Here is your phone. I will be going now, have a nice night. I have the pictures and more prove on my phone so don't try anything funny, you don't know me and I can come at you anytime, anywhere."

Adrian stopped in one of the parks in the city and started to look around, it was as if he was looking for someone. Then he saw Ciera, she was on her workout outfit jogging around the park. He brought his cap down a bit to cover his face more and went closer to her. With the help of her social media account, Adrian was able to tell that Ciera goes on a jog and pass through this park. Ciera jogged around the park a couple times then left the park and Adrian followed her behind at a distance. Ceria stopped when she saw a woman carrying a baby in a stroller. She played with the baby a little and Adrian watched her. While digging for information on her, Adrain did not find m

Adrian was upstairs in the hotel section. He had no business doing the actual work, all he wanted was getting into Ciera's room. Ciera had her own private room which was separate from the other rooms in thr hotel so it was not hard to find. He knew that Ciera had already called for a room service so he had to intercept the person bringing it to her. He waited close to her room for a while, then he saw one of the hotel workers coming with the things Ceira ordered, so he went to the worker. "Sorry, you are taking that to the owner's room right?" Adrian asked the worker. "Yeah, I'm here for her room service." The worker replied. "Why don't I take this off you, you can get some rest." Adrian said. "But why would I do that?" "Well the manager sent me to do the work, you know how he is, he wants everything to be perfect. Plus he gave me a message to deliver to the owner." Adrian said.

Seeing her now made him remember what he did to Benedict yesterday. "Hello Adrian." Sarah replied. "Caroline must have told you that I had to stay past my shift today, that is why I am coming back this late." "Yeah she told me." Adrian wondered if she had gotten the money he told Benedict to transfer to her. But seeing that there is no news about him means that he has left Sarah, which is still okay. "Alright then, I will need to go to bed now, I am feeling really tired." Adrian said. "Yeah and I will need to leave the apartment but you are in front of the door." "Oh yeah sorry about that." Adrian moved away from the door." "And if you don't want to stay at work this late you should come to work on time." Sarah said.

They all walked into the building, it was narrow at first but then it became wide. There were a lot of people inside it, it seemed more like a very exclusive night club and not a sign of fighting around. “Okay, not that I am complaining but are you sure this is the place Dan?” Diego smiled. “Well it should be, I mean shouldn’t it.” Dan replied. Adrian looked around and tried to analyze the room. He saw that most of the people here were rich and there were guards all over the place. He noticed that the place was bigger that it seemed and then he noticed when someone came out of another door, before the door closed he got a quick look inside. “We are at the right place.” Adrian said to them. “Follow me.” He started to walk towards the door. They followed him and went to door. They reached the door and entered. Now they were in a different room, they were ordinary people here. Big TVs were hanged on the walls and it was playing the fights that was going on. “Wow.” Da

The day went by fast and Adrian was still working, Ciara had not come down from her room and he was still thinking of a way to meet her. His shift was over and he still haven’t thought of anything. He knew that there was nothing he could about meeting her again, the day was already over. He thought that it might be for the best that he could not meet her today because it will be too much of a coincidence if they meet twice the same day they met for the first time. Adrian went to the back room and saw his friends there, “Seems like you guys are ready to go.” Adrian said to them. They left the hotel through the back exit and went on home. As they walked through the streets, Adrian could notice that Dan was in a happy mood, he could not help but wonder if it is because of the conversation he had with the man back at the hotel. They reached the apartment building and went into their apartment. Dan went and sat down on the couch, and Adrian went towards his room. “I was
