As soon as Adrian arrived back at the office, Kelly was so stunned to see that he was able to retrieve the file. Her eyes were wide open and there were so many questions that she wanted to ask him yet she did not.“Take this to the production team as soon as possible and have them commence the first stage of the project, tell them that I said I need the first phase ready before the next board meeting”“Yes Sir” She responded with hesitation in her voice.“Is there something else you would like to say?” Adrian asked seeing that she still kept staring intensely at him when she should be hurrying upstairs.“No Sir. I just admire you a lot and think you are so cool with the way that you handle every difficulty that comes your way, it feels like you always know what to do at every given time”“That is not the time for that Kelly, because I do not have all day. Now run along!” He ordered and with a smile on her face that was filled with admiration for him, she hurried away from there.While
Coming out of the dressing room, Emma and Elena could not help but gasp in awe seeing how elegant Avery looked.The dress is a knee-length stretchy asymmetry color and its sat milk color was so unique that it shimmered to their eyes. The asymmetry design was able to create a dynamic and eye-catching silhouette with one shoulder of the dress draping elegantly around her light-skinned“Wow! Avery you look so beautiful, I bet that Seth won't be able to take his eyes off you tonight” Emma showered praises on her as she stared at her in admiration.“Truly A very, Aunt Emma knows her way around these designs more than I do, do you like it?”Elena asked and Avery walked over to the mirror, her eyes were filled with a satisfactory smile while she stared at her reflection, and right there, she was able to imagine what Adrian's expression was going to be.“It is so gorgeous, of course I love it!”“Perfect! I am so glad that you love it. I think that you got yourself a date and make sure you try
Adrian and Avery kept chatting and laughing so hard while they talked about several things that so many would mistake them for a couple and when their order finally came in, Avery was so eager to see him try it out.“Go ahead Adrian, try it out and tell me what you think!” She insisted and after the first bite, Adrian had a satisfactory look on his face.“Not bad…. It tastes really good”“See! I told you that you were going to love it” She chipped in so excited, Avery was beaming with smiles that a child that had just been handed out her favorite snacks.Adrian suddenly turned around for his cell phone and realized that he was not holding it. “Is everything alright?” Avery asked as she noticed the uneasiness in his eyes.“Yeah, I think that I left my cell phone in the car, I will run along and go get it immediately”“You should ask your guard to do that”“Don't worry, just go ahead and enjoy yourself, I will be back in a few minutes!” He assured her before getting on his feet and hurr
Avery froze right there, her eyes had turned red while she stared at Adrian trying to comprehend what just happened and after a while of her brain not being able to process the scene before her, she took to her heels, running towards him.She grabbed him and tucked him so hard into an embrace, crying more deeply. “Don't you dare pull such a stunt on me ever again, I thought that I had lost you, I was so scared and I could not breathe with the thought of not seeing you ever again”She cried out with her hands still wrapped around him and Adrian who could not believe he had survived this, let his hands find their way to her waist.“Thank you so much, Avery, you saved my life” He whispered into her ears while he gasped in relief, although she did not understand what he meant, she was so excited that he was alive and nothing else mattered to her.People around there could not stop taking pictures of him, calling him a hero and despite how hard Klein tried to stop them from taking any more
Claire sat next to Freya, she seemed so engrossed in her phone like whatever was going on in the living room regarding Adrian was not of interest to her when a video suddenly popped out on the screen of her phone, at first she did not seem interested in it but looking at it more closely, Claire realizes that this car looked so familiar.“Oh my God! Adria, what happened to you?” Her eyes grew so intense as she stared at the screen of her phone and it felt like her hands were almost trembling.“What is it?” Freya asked and seeing that Claire was too engrossed in the video to respond to her, she dragged the phone away from her and saw Adrian coming out of the burning car unharmed, she almost threw the phone away out of shock.“Adrian, what the hell happened to you today?” “What are you talking about?” Daniel asked and so were the rest of the family that seemed so interested Sarah pulled out her phone and stared at the screen of her phone, the video immediately popped out and so did the
Adrian stepped out of the bathroom after what felt like forever in there and was stunned to see his Dad seated on the stool in his room. He had a towel wrapped around his waist and water dripping down from his forehead so he went ahead to ignore his father and stride over to the dresser.Daniel kept his eyes fixed on the magazine on the table, although he barely read anything in it, but it was all his attempt to pass the time while waiting for his son.“Is everything alright Dad?” Adrian asked as soon as he was all dressed in his black pajamas.“Those people that sent you a warning regarding Avery, they are the same people that did this today right?”“I don't know yet, I would have to find out”“And you went out with Avery despite all of my warnings, tell me, are you seeing now?”“No, not at all. We are just friends and I am only trying to connect with the holy light which is why I keep meeting with her”“You keep meeting with her, so you are saying that this has been going on. Is thi
Emma walked over to the kitchen as she gulped in an entire glass of water. After what happened to Adrian today, the memory of her son and how she had lost him came flooding through her mind as she fiddled with her fingers.Her skin had become pale, she felt a sense of uneasiness and was making so much effort not to cry, but each time she thought that Adrian might also be in danger, it only made her more tensed that she was so engrossed in her thought and did not see Amelia walk into the kitchen.“Are you alright?” Amelia asked and she was almost startled. “Oh, mine! Amelia, you scared me!”“That is because you had your thoughts entirely somewhere else. What is going on with you Emma?”“Nothing much, I was just thinking about what happened to Adrian today. I don't know why it was easier for you all to take it very lightly, but I must say that he was so close to death and whatever that was that saved him, I am so grateful”“We all are Emma. Believe me, it was indeed a miracle and he is
Seth is seated in the large armchair in his office, his left finger cannot stop tapping on his desk while his right hand is holding onto his phone with his eyes glued to it. the air around the office seemed intensely cold.He scrolled through the news feeds and his eyes settled on the picture of Adrian, no matter how many times he had stared at it, he could not stop looking at it.As he swiveled around in his large armchair, his eyes not drifting away from his phone, his brows furrowed in concentration, he was so engrossed in his thoughts that he did not notice the large door swing open with Jason stepping in and he only became aware of his presence when Jason cracks his throat.“Jason! You are here, just the man that I was thinking about”“I could place a bet that you were thinking more about Adrian more than you were about me, and whatever it is you are staring at on your phone is definitely about him.“You guessed right, and I am also guessing that you have seen the trend about him
