Kelvin barely got to his office and as soon as his secretary Eva noticed his arrival, she was hoping that things had gone well, so with a smile on her face, she followed him behind.“Welcome Sir, how did the meeting go?” She asked with both her hands clasped behind her back, her black skirt perfectly ironed to the line.“You need to leave right now Eva, I want to be alone” His voice had become deep, and his head lowered to his desk because he was trying to hide the glowing red his eyes had become knowing that the monster was trying to take over.“What is it Sir, did something happen?”“I said LEAVE!!” He growled so loud and this time, he lifted his head to meet her gaze, a cold shiver ran down her spine seeing what her boss had become, at that moment, he threw out all the files on the desk, his hand grabbed the computer and furiously smashed it on the ground.At this moment, Eva could feel her feet betray her, she was trembling from shock at what she had just seen, but the moment that
After the meeting, Adrian was back to the office and as soon as he did, Kelly followed right behind him, she could tell that the meeting had gone well judging from the look on his face.“Welcome Sir, how was the meeting?” a smile on her face, but it did not seem like Adrian was interested in her expression.“Have you sorted all the files that I requested?”“Yes Sir, I did that as soon as you left. How was the meeting?” She asked again since he had pretended not to hear her first question.“it went well”“That is good to hear, so is there any project that we will be working on of recent?”“You will find out soon, how is my schedule for today?”“Well, not much, except for a meeting with…..”“Cancel it!” Adrian arrived who had a deep frown on his lips did not let her finish as he rose to his feet. “There is somewhere that I need to be and I am not sure about when I will be back, so you will have to take care of things around here”“You have nothing to worry about Sir, I got it all covere
Adrian shut the door behind him as soon as he was out of the office and now it was just the father and daughter in the office.“Dad! What is this madness that you just displayed right now, don't you realize that he is from the Wesley family”“I do not care about where he is from, but I want to know, is he the reason you have been refusing the marriage between you and the Heir to the Maxton family”“I never refused it and you know it. I was madly in love with him but he messed me up, I am never going back to him after that”“Is it because of this Wesley boy, I hear that you have been going out with him a lot lately”“Will that be such a wrong choice if I went out with him”“Avery I raised you better than this! You should be smart and know where to lay your eggs, more than just been married, don't you understand that the company and the name of the woods family are at stake here!”“Adrian is the heir to the Wesley family, there is nothing that is going through be at steak if I end up ge
Mr. Smith had just arrived back from work after a very hectic day, it was a few days to the launching of his shoe line yet he was not certain that he had been able to secure any tangible clients.A beep sound came through his phone and while his back rested on the soft couch, he stared at it for a moment, realizing that it was a text from Jason, he let out a soft sigh.“Is everything alright?” Darcy who sat next to him could see how exhausted he was asked.“Nothing that I can't handle, I will just take some air outside and then I am going to be back” He explained to her, Darcy who had her eyes fixed on the television nodded her head as he stride out of the room.A few blocks away from his apartment, a black sedan is parked there, he would recognize the car even in her s sleep and hurried over there. Mr. Smith gave the glass a small tap before Jason opened the car for him.Both men were now seated at the front side of the car which was dark and deprived of any form of light, Jason turn
Adrian went ahead to pick up the call, although he knew that his foster father was the last person that he wanted to speak to, but he had decided to make his peace with them, and ever since then, he would respond to the old man once in a while.“Hello, father!”“Adrian, how are you and how have things been going for you at the company?”“Everything seems fine. I was not expecting your call, so I am hoping that everything is fine?”“Yeah. You know Adrian, I understand how busy you are with work at the office, but there is something very important that I would like to discuss with you and I was hoping that we could meet and have a conversation, besides it has been a long that we last sat together”“Father. That sounds like a good idea, but isn't that something we can discuss on the phone because I have been busy lately and do not think that I have the time for that”Adrian responded, there was silence at the other end of the phone before he spoke again.“I understand that you are busy,
Avery took the empty table next to Mr. Smith and immediately went ahead to signal the waitress to come over like she knew she was coming to a coffee shop and was craving coffee.As soon as Adrian took the seat opposite Mr. Smith, the older man forced a smile on his face but Adrian could tell that he looked tensed. Adrian let his eyes scan around the coffee shop, but everything seemed normal with everyone having a cup of their desired coffee, some were groups of students battling with their projects on their laptops while chatting and some were business partners talking business over a cup of coffee or friends chatting.He felt more relaxed seeing that there was nothing unusual around before he turned to Mr. Smith.“Father, how is everything going with you”“I am fine Adrian, and I apologize for calling you out at such a busy schedule of yours, you have done so much for me that it seems like a burden for me to call you again”“I don't know what this is about, but I must say that I was
Adrian shifted his gaze to Avery who was on the other table and sat so comfortably with her cup of coffee.“Father, I think I will have to be on my way right now” Adrian concluded and tried to rise to his feet, but Mr. Smith immediately stopped him, a desperate look on his face.“I am sorry Son, I know that you are not pleased with the words that I said, but you should at least take your coffee, I understand how busy you are and that will help keep you energized”“Thanks But I have had too much coffee to take today and you do not have to worry about paying for it”Adrian responded as he pulled out a few dollars from his pocket and placed it on the table.“Is that how low you think of me that I wouldn't be able to pay my bills or maybe you thought that I only brought you here to ask for money”“If you want money Father, just go ahead and say so and I will provide that for you. But I am never thinking low of you for that reason, you have done worse things and even at that point, I never
Daniel and the rest of his family members hurried out of the car as Avery wondered how they had received the news of what happened so quickly.Seeing that a famous family that is always on the TV screen had arrived, people around there could not help but take pictures and videos of them, despite how much the securities were trying to stop them from taking any further pictures of the family, it did not seem easy and yet the family was not concern about.Grandpa Hallow was escorted by a large security while his first son Daniel was first hired inside the coffee shop, at this point, the police had arrived on the scene, and everywhere was in chaos. Daniel had his eyes scanning around the environment, there was fear and frustration in his eyes which the police could see as one of them approached him.“Good day Sir, I am Detective Collins, how can we help you?” He asked as he stretched out his hand for a handshake, Daniel tried not to look nervous while he shook his hand although the fear c
