Adrian arrived at the office and as soon as he did, Kelly was already there waiting for him, a smile on her face while she carefully placed a mug of coffee on the large desk in his office.“Good morning Sir, how was the event yesterday?”“It was nice”“And did you enjoy it, I mean going to such a fancy party and seeing all those people dressed in luxury dresses, was it worth it?”“I don't know Kelly, it is just a party and I do not think that it should be weighed on the fact that it is fancy or not or whether it was worth it, it is just a party and that is all that there is to it”He explained and even while he did, she still had a smile plastered on her face, her full lips spread out wide and all she was feeling for this right here was nothing but admiration.“If there is nothing else, Kelly, you can stop smiling and get back to work”“Oh, I am sorry I almost got carried away. I spoke to the secretary of the president of Evaton group?”“How did it go, have you been able to secure a m
Avery felt like her heart was choking with pain, even when Seth had broken their engagement right before everyone, she did not feel this bad and yet she felt so betrayed by a boy who wasn't her boyfriend yet.“Avery please wait!!”Adrian called out to her, he was trying to comprehend what was going on and even in his head, it felt so wrong to him.“I am sorry Adrian, I am not feeling too well and will have to leave right now”“I am sorry that you had to see that just now, I am fully aware that it is inappropriate, and believe me when I say that I do not know what came over Kelly today”“What! Is this the apology that you dare give to me?”“What are you talking about here?”“So you are only apologizing because you feel it is inappropriate and not because you think that I would feel hurt and betrayed?” she asked as he drew backward, he was confused and was trying to put her words together.“What are you talking about, we are just friends, why should you feel betrayed? Avery, I never prom
Adrian hurried upstairs the receptionist was surprised at his audacity to just walk into the company and when he had just been denied attention, he was ready to go to any length to get what he wanted even at the risk of getting arrested.“Sir! What do you think that you are doing, you have to stop right now else I might be forced to call the security on you!”She yelled at the top of her voice, she was indeed furious at his action, and when she tried to make a move, his men held her down and wouldn't let her move.“Do you understand what this means? You can go ahead and do whatever you wish, but I am not letting this go that easily, I promise you that I am going to file a lawsuit against you and your entire company!”She threatened, but her words did not seem to mean so much to them. Adrian slammed the door open as Mr. Evaton jerked up from his seat at the sight of Adrian.“What the hell, who are you and how dare you banched into my office” he yelled with his jaws tightened as he pick
Both men stood still staring at each other for a moment, Adrian knew that he got the fish right in the hook while Mr. Evaton was faced with the dilemma of whether he could trust Adrian who seemed so young with such a huge deal that held the future of his company. But then again, he knew that the secret Adrian held was something that he should be cautious about and yet this was a game he did not want to play.“What is it going to be Mr. Evaton, we are both busy men and don't have all time”“I am going to have to see your proposal first”“My proposal was the first offer, but now it is off the table, you sound like you have much of a choice. I need you to give me your final answer, are you handing over the construction contract of City View to Wesley Corporation or not?”Adrian asked, there was this intense persuasion in his eyes that gave out the fact that he was dangerous, this was their first meeting and yet Mr. Evaton knew that he should be afraid of him.“Fine. Ask your architecture
Kelvin had just concluded a meeting with a client when he arrived back at the office with Eva tagging behind him.“Welcome back boss, how did the meeting go?” she asked with the usual polite smile on her face, but his eyes had gone dark and there were only a few words that he could hear her say at that moment.Eva seeing the dark look on his face, knew what it meant and hurried to his side.“I brought in someone for you sir, do you need me to bring him out?” her eyes anxious at what might happen if she wasted more time.“Where is he right now?” Kelvin asked, his voice was deep and dark like someone who had been deprived of food for a long time.“In your wine cellar just like you asked me to always do each time that I brought them in”She explained and he hurried over to the cellar, seeing the girl who was just fifteen years old and shivering so hard in fear, he was consumed by his thirst, he rushed over to her, grabbed her head, and as his eyes turned blood red, his fangs pushed out f
The entire family hurried towards Grandpa Hallow, a warm smile filled their face after seeing how good their father looked.“Father, you look so good, young that anyone would mistake you for a younger boy” Theo teased as they all giggled.“I guess that I have been doing more training than your sorry ass, and I think that one of these days, you will have to compete with me in a tournament!”“I can't wait for that day when I get to beat you fair and square!” Theo accepted the challenge and they all laughed.“Adrian, how are you doing, I hear that you have been doing well at the company and will be well-groomed to take over the company”“I don't know Grandpa, I am doing my best”“And you Kelvin, how is work at the company, trust that everything is going alright at your own section?”“We are doing our best Grandpa and all in an attempt to make you proud”“You do not have to try any further, I am already proud of you son!” Grandpa Hallow patted his shoulder, his hand wrapped around Kelvin
Avery felt a mixed expression seeing her father walk inside the Maxton mansion, although she was fully aware that they were friends and business partners, why he was there the same time she had been invited for dinner was definitely not a mistake.“My father is joining us for dinner?” I asked with my eyes piercing at Seth, he could see the disappointment in my eyes and while my Dad and his went ahead to exchange pleasantries, he walked up to me and he squeezed my arm gently.“You just need to calm down and trust me because you should know that I will never do anything to hurt you”“Did you just say that I should trust you, that is a stupid thing even for you to say because the last time that I trusted you, it did not go too well, so how about you start by telling me why my father is here?”“It is nothing much, my Dad just wanted us to bond together like old times because he feels guilty after what happened between the both of us and wants to apologize”“Good timing! It has been months
Grandpa Hallow and his sons arrived back home and as soon as the door fling open, there was a wind of excitement that fills the entire house, Sarah and Claire immediately flung their selves at him nearly knocking him off balance.His eyes beamed with excitement as he wrapped his arms around them tightly. ” Grandpa insisted and while he went ahead to sit down, they both sat right beside him and just then, Harper who had been informed of Grandpa's presence rushed over from the stairs and as he rushed downstairs, he flung himself on Grandpa whpo seemed so proud of him as he carried him on his lap.“Sarah, go ahead and speak to me. Tell me everything that happened while I was away and why you think that the elders did not handle it properly?”“Adrian and Claire went on a project at a college but Claire almost lost her life because Adrian was so careless and put her at so much risk, yes no one saw anything wrong with it”“Adrian did not put me at risk, rather he saved my life!” Claire who
