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
Kelvin stood right infront of the window blinds, his eyes staring blankly outside the busy city while sucking out rhe air from the cigarette. A knock came through the door and as Eva stepped in, she carefully placed a cup of coffee on the table. “Sir, the president was on the phone just now, and he wanted to know how the project is coming up” “I had just been handed the project today, why would he want to know how it is coming up, unless there is something else that he is interested in” kelvin expressed in a cold tone but Eva could not help but smile, if there was anything that she loved about working for this man was the fact that he was intelligent and could see past the surface of any situation. “You are absolutely right sir, there is something else attached to the call, he wants Adrian involve in this project” “Adrian, but he barely knows anything, what help is he expecting Adrian to render to us in such a project?” “Sir, i think that you can guess what this means, he is act
Chapter 44At the Wesley office, a round table is seated with a few of his team members, Adrian has just been informed that he is meant to join the meeting, and although he doesn't know much about what should be done, he seats down as he staress blankly at the proposal right before him.“Adrian, what kept you, don't you realize that we have been waiting for you for the meeting to commence” kelKelvinlled at him as soon as he stepped in.“I apologize, I was kind of stunned when Eva told me that i wIll be joining the meeting with your team as I wondered if there was some kind of mistake somewhere” he expressed as his eyes locked with Claire who was also part of the team and she rolled her eyes at him.“Have a seat, your father wants you to be part of it, so go ahead and sit down. We have been tabled to come up with a proposal for a new make line suitable for young girls between the age of sixteen to twenty and as we all know, girls at that age are mostly faced with puberty and despite ho
As soon as Claire hopped inside the car, Klein was about to get in but Adrian immediately got inside and he gently tapped him on his shoulder. “I am sorry Klein, but you won't be going with us”“What! Sir, you know that is not possible right?”“Well last time that I checked, I was the boss here and you worked under me, as such anything that I say is possible, you won't be coming with us because there is another errand that I need you to run for me and I am hoping g that you can do it without my father finding out”“I get my paychecks from your father and hiding so much from him won't be possible”“And you should also know that I am more wealthy than my father, have you seen my inheritance, I can double whatever my father pays you so I think that it is time you make a decision where your loyalty lies”“I do not work for the money if that is what you are more concerned about, I believe in loyalty more than anything else but it does not mean that because I am loyal to your father I can't
