Chapter 50:Kelvin stood close to the window at his office, puffing out the smoke of his cigarette and staring into blank space, his eyes so deep that anyone could feel the rage in his voice when Eva knocked on the door and as she stepped in, both her hands and feet were trembling.She had been with Kelvin for two years now and if there was anything that she knew about him was his anger issues and how hard it gets when it comes. “Sir… you sent for me” her voice broke down in shiver while she spoke.Although he was aware of her presence in the office and yet he remained so calm that he went puff his cigarette and by the time that he was through with that stick of cigarette, his eyes had turned so dark that he lifted his hand and slammed Eva so hard.She could hear the sound of the slap hitting her so hard and her ears were beginning to make a loud wince sound and yet she remained calm and did not dare say a word.“You had one job, just one job and that was to make sure that Adrian did
As Adrian walked out of the office, his cell phone immediately rang, and seeing that it was his master on the phone, Adrian knew that he had to hurry over to a more private place to pick up the call, that was the only way that he could speak freely to his master.“Adrian?” Mr. Albert’s voice came through from the phone.“Yes master”“I have not heard from you in a while and I was beginning to get worried. How are you?”“I am doing alright, I am sorry that I have not been able to get to you for a few days now, I have been busy at the office, and believe me, master, when I say that advancing on a spiritual level is easier than this”“I understand you, but you have to keep trying, the company belongs to you and no matter what happens, you must not let others take it away from you”“I know that master”“I also want to know how it has been going with the girl with the holy light, have you been able to practice with her?”“Yes and I must say that you should have warned me about how fierce t
Adrian started walking towards his office and Freya who was trying to comprehend the situation had no choice but to go after him as she slammed the door behind her once she was inside.“What is this about Adrian, I thought that you would be happy with this news of having your own office and a new secretary, I mean it is someone you are familiar with, that way it would be alot easier to work with"“I am sorry if I acted so wrongly, but I think it must have skipped my mind to tell you some details of my experience at school, Kelly was my crush back then in school”“Wow! That is a good thing, that is if you still have a crush on her, She is right next to you now so I think that it will be much easier for you to speak to her since she will be working with you”“I am no longer interested in her and that is because she is already dating my foster brother”“Oh! I see…”“Yes, Finn found out that I had a crush on her so he took the initiative to speak to her first and she accepted, besides I w
After work that day, Kelly was going back home but on her way to the bus station was Finn who seemed to have been waiting for her there for quite a while. he had both his hands in his pocket and there was a few traces of sweat dripping down his forehead.“Finally, you dismissed from work!” he let out a sigh of relief once his eyes met her.“Finn? What are you doing here?” She asked and no doubt that she was stunned at his presence making her come to a halt a few inches away from him.“I came to see you I have been waiting here for more than two hours, why did it take you this long to dismiss or was there something else that you were doing after dismissal?” “Something else like what?” She narrowed her eyes suspiciously at him but he chose to brush it off.“Come off it Kelly, I have been trying to get to you for days now and it has been so difficult to reach you”“Well if you haven't noticed, that is because I have been so busy” She rolled her eyes at him while she responded.“You have
Arriving back home, Adrian felt so exhausted, he had so much to do knowing that he needed to prove himself to everyone, and as a result of that, he was expected to work extremely hard on that aspect.But just when he thought that he was going to be taking a rest, there was A very in the living room, and with her legs crossed around each other, she had a glass of wine at the tip of her fingers.“Adrian!” Her lips curled into a smile the moment she saw him walk in, anyone could tell that she had been waiting for him all this while, and his presence brought excitement to her.“I am so glad that you are here, I have been waiting for you and it seemed like forever” She and the expressed but Adrian had his eyes scrutinizing the balcony, hoping that his father was not yet back home and considering how angry he was at the presence of Avery in the house the other day, he did not want to get on his bad side again.“Avery, what are you doing here?”“Isn't that obvious, I came to see you. And you
Adrian walks over to the bed and sits next to Avery, who appears to be deeply absorbed in a magazine, having just finished taking a bath and changing into pajamas.Even though he was seated next to her, he tried to give her some space so she would not feel awkward around him.“So what are you going to do now, will you go on with the marriage proposal from him?” he asked and it was at that moment that eyes finally drifted away from the magazine and slowly they trailed around Adrian.“Why would I even think of doing such?”“because from the way that you spoke, it shows that you were devastated when he left you and you would give anything to have him back, now that you have him back, why are you hesitating”“I don't know, I guess that there are things about myself that I have come to learn to live with and now I know better that I deserve to be happy, I deserve more”Her voice was soft, more angelic, and all he could was nod his head, Adrian felt that more than just the holy light, there
After having a few bottles of drinks, Daniel and his brother Sean drove back home but while Sean went straight to his room, Daniel headed for Kelvin's room. He stood right at the door Wondering why he felt nervous talking to a child that he watched grow up, but after a while, he finally knocked.“Who is there?” Kelvin who was on the phone with Eva wondered who would be at the door this late while his eyes trailed over to the wall clock in his room.“It is me, son, open up!” Daniel ordered in a deep tone and after a moment of hesitation, the sound of his footstep walking towards the door could be heard before he finally twisted the door knob and stood right before him.“Uncle?” Kelvin wasn't sure what to say seeing Uncle Daniel standing right before his room this late at night.“Can I come in?”“Yeah, sure go ahead” His response was swift and as Daniel stepped inside, he could not help but stare at the room with admiration in his eyes seeing how much Kelvin had turned the room to his t
In a black sedan, Mr. Smith said next time to the driver who was Jason who had visited his family the other day, his eyes covered in dark sunglasses.After the previous meeting with Jason the other day, Reynold was reluctant to accept his deal, but after much persuasion from his family, Reynold knew that this was his only out of poverty, and although for the first time ever he felt guilty about Adrian and yet, he had to go on with it.He had contacted Jason through the card that was handed out to him the next day and finally informed him that he had agreed.Seated next to the mysterious man who had offered him all the life that he had truly desired, he felt so nervous wondering what this man truly wanted from him and his family.“What do you need me to do now?”“I need you to get as close as you can to Adrian, feel as remorseful as you can, and get him to trust you with everything that he does, do you think that you can do that?”“I am not sure that will be so easy to do because altho
