The board members of the Wesley corporation were having a meeting with Kelvin as he was taking the minutes of the meeting. But after an intense time that had passed by, Uncle Theo suddenly turned to him as he asked. “Where is the minute for this meeting, I thought you were asked to copy the file before the meeting commences?”“Yes and I asked Adrian about that part”“Adrain? I thought he just started work today?’“Yes and he assured me that he could copy a file, i went as far as giving him instant on how it is done and he was clear on it”“Then where is he and the file?” Daniel who was getting impatient asked and they all had their gaze at the door wondering when he was going to come in”“Eva, hurry up and send for Adrian, he should be through with the files now, I do not know what is holding him!” Kelvin ordered.“Yes Sir” Eva nodded her head as she dashed out of the conference hall and hurried over to Adrian where she informed him that his presence was needed at the board meeting. A
Once Adrian and Kelvin both left the hall, Adrian followed him over to his office where Kelvin had a calm gaze on his face. Eva quickly stepped in with a cup of coffee but Adrian stood there, still confused at what just happened.“What was that that just happened?” Adrian asked once Eva had placed the cup and stepped away from there.“What are you talking about?”“You know exactly what I am talking about. You and I both know that you had clearly stated that you wanted those files ready in a week, because if you had asked me that you wanted those files ready today, you know that I would have done that, yet you still found it easy to make me look like a fool in front of the entire board, why did you choose to do something like that”“I do not know what you are talking about, you are the one who failed to listen while I was speaking, because if you had listened carefully, then you would have heard me say that the files would be used today, even Eva could bear witness to it, so what are y
As soon as both Adrian and his foster dad were now inside the car, they drove off to the nearest coffee shop close to the Wesley estate that was located within the villa. As they both sat down, there was an intense silence that filled the air around them, Mr. Smith knew how badly Adrian had been offended while he stayed with them, and right now, he felt so guilty that it was so hard for him to speak.there were days when Adrian was deprived of any form of food or even water yet he was expected to do all the chores and still himilated. thinking about it at that moment, Mr. Smith thought to himself that no child should be treated like that.“How are Mother and Darcy and Finn?” Adrian finally broke the silence, seeing that Mr. Smith was finding it difficult to say anything.“They are all fine, everyone has been finding it difficult since you left and it has been one problem from hear to another, we all regretted the way that we treated you, but I guess that it is all late now”“It is nev
Adrian scurried upstairs to his room where Avery was staring at the painting on the wall, even while he stepped in, she still had her gaze fixed on the painting like she did not notice him come in.“Avery hey”“You are back from work, I heard you made a mess at the board meeting today?”“I guess we all make mistakes, or wouldn't you agree with me?” he asked softly and she nodded her head before she finally turned to meet his gaze. “Freya kept insisting that you wanted to see me, what is this about?”“Are you still angry with me?”“Shouldn't I, even my dad is still angry about the fact that I dismissed Marcus and yet I could not give him a reasonable answer. It is not like I can just tell him that I made a new friend who has some spiritual powers and thinks that Marcus has an evil aura around him”“Yeah, I get you, and I think that you have every reason to be angry with me, but how about you calm down while I have a shower and then we can both have dinner here”“Shouldn't you be having
Chapter 39:Avery seeing Adrian on the floor, fear immediately took hold of her as she rushed over to him. “Adrian, are you alright?”“Yeah, I am fine. I just didn't think that the power that you possess was this strong and I dived into it in a rush with no warning sign”“I barely understand most of what you just said, but I think that you should be careful. I do not want to be responsible for your death”“You have nothing to worry about, i have been in more death situations than this and I can assure you that I am not dying anytime soon”“That is a relief” She exhaled softly and helped him up to his feet, despite the hard fall that he just experienced, there was a bright smile on his face. “Avery, I know that this might have scared you, but I hope that you do not mind if we try out one last time”“You still want to try out again, don't you think that this is so much of a risk?”“You have nothing to worry about, everything about cultivation involves risk and we have to take them furth
Daniel watched his son stride through the stairs with Avery, he felt angry about this and wanted to interrupt since Adrian had been badly warned to stay away from her, but he knew that Adrian had been through enough embarrassment for one day and wouldn't be so happy if he was talk down on right before his guest.Walking back to the house, Adrian was so lost in his thoughts that he did not notice the figure walking towards him, but as soon as he lifted his head to meet the dark gaze piercing at him, he was startled.“Dad, you are still awake?”“Yes, I was just about go to bed when I noticed you walking out of the house, you have been avoiding me all night and seeing her leave the house, I think that I clearly understand now”“I am not avoiding you, I don't think that there is any reason for that, I have just been busy with my own things”“Yes I saw that, and it made me wonder how many lives they are going to have to take away for you to take away from her”“No life will be lost again,
Hearing her husband ask such questions When such an opportunity was staring at them made her furious as she turned to him. “Reynold, why would you even ask such a question, does it matter why he is helping us, what matters is that we are finally getting our revenge on Adrian”“Revenge? You speak about revenge like he did anything wrong to you, we both know that we were the ones that hurt him”“Dad! Why would you even say that!” Finn barked, the entire family was getting angry at their father's indifference towards this situation that they would refer to as an opportunity of a lifetime.“Did you not see the way Adrian spoke to Mother that day when he left this house, he has no regards for her, and even at school, he acts like I am not visible with guards following him around and he has been all cocky and you want it to continue that way and we always be at his mercy”“But causing him pain is not the best solution.”“I see that you all are having a second thought!” The man rose to his f
Chapter 42:The next day, Adrian arrives at work with so much energy and is ready to face whatever comes his way He understood that yesterday was his first day at work, he expected everyone to treat him differently, but it did not work with Kelvin and niw he haf learned his lesson the hard way. The car came to a halt at the parking lot and while the driver stayed in the car, the guard followed him upstairs, but Adrian was not comfortable with Klein following him around.But as soon as they both arrived at the elevator, it was just the both of them and the elevator suddenly shut down, everywhere became blank in an instant. Klein pulls out his gun and is ready to attack and yet there is nothing that he can see which makes him more tense.“Sir…. Mr. Adrian, are you alright?” He asked, his voice consumed with panic and yet Adrian seemed so calm with the whole situation.“Calm down Klein, I have got this under control” Adrian assured him as he closed his eyes, and with a snap of his fing
