“Sir, I think you should ignore these two men and continue eating your meal, I'm certain the security will handle them” Leaning forward to Curtis, while smiling widely at him, Cecilia gave her unsolicited input. Curtis only gave her a ghost of a smile before continuing to glare at Adam and his companion. Both Adam and Adrien shared a glance between themselves as Cecilia began speaking after entering the midst, subtly raising their eyebrows at each other before taking their eyes away and scoffing lightly, with a smirk remaining on Adam’s lips. Keeping his hands out of his pockets, while also ignoring Cecilia and her unwanted presence, Adam faced the man he had come in search of and spoke in a relaxed and calm way, “Mr Curtis, I've been informed that you're the only one in possession of that herb. I'd like to know how much you'd want to charge to let me have it, you would be saving a life that is of utmost importance to me” While he had been speaking, Cecilia sniggered at the bac
Everybody's eyes went wide as soon as they saw Curtis bowing, including Cecilia whose eyes were as round as saucers as she watched the extreme change in the attitude of Curtis. Was this fellow blinded, into not seeing the filth that stood in front of him, ‘One minute he was supposed to have Adam thrown out like the filthy thrash that he was, and the very next he's bowing to him?!’ Cecilia wondered to herself, as she struggled to make sense of the scenario before her, At that moment, she felt she needed to say something to help Curtis from his misplaced respect, with her brows creased together, she exclaimed in a loud voice, “Sir, are you sure you're not mistaken by bowing that to this man and calling him Master? I ask you to please take a good look at him, you are too noble to reduce yourself into bowing to him” Curtis, whose ears were already filled with Cecilia and her unrequested inputs, began to seethe inwards, but kept his mouth shut, only clenching his fist tightly. Ada
Although Louisa and her mother had been kicked out of the restaurant, both women hadn't left the premises. Despite the embarrassment and humiliation Cecilia had faced, she had been adamant towards Louisa, wanting to find out the outcome of Curtis' outburst and his ignorant display of respect towards the unworthy Adam, hence both women hid themselves in the car to Louisa's chagrin. Back in the restaurant, after Louisa and Cecilia had been sent out, Curtis's head and mind began reeling, he could hardly believe he was before someone like Adam, who wore the ring that he knew to be of great power, no ordinary person could be in possession of the ring, but looking at Adam he looked as ordinary as the next door guy, looking over at Adam and his demeanour, he was beginning to have his doubt. He found it quite absurd that Adam was the bearer of the ring, such an ordinary man couldn't be wearing the Maracuda Ornate so casually, Whoever wore the ring knew the power it possessed and would not l
An advanced man of average height, dressed in an all-brown outfit who carried an air of authority around him, suddenly barged into the restaurant, despite the limp in his walk, he strode in with dignity and confidence. His eyes roaming the interior of the place as he stepped foot into it, his eyes finally landed on Curtis, who smiled in relief to see him, His saviour in the person of Sir Oscar Wilbury had come, and he couldn't help but smirk to himself, Oscar was very familiar with the story of the Maracuda ring, and its former possessor, aside from that Oscar was an artefact collector and knew quite a lot about jewellery, ornates and artefacts, so Oscar was the best person to detect the authenticity of the ring. “Over here Sir Oscar, the impostor and his friend are over here Sir" He quickly announced, trying to claim the attention of Oscar who had already seen him and was making his way towards them, Oscar barely nodded his head in response. “Where's the person you said wears the
Curtis' face and neck flushed all over and he took in a deep breath, as he heard Adam's statement. He couldn't believe that his actions would come back and bite him in the butt, and he internally berated himself for uttering those words to Adam, he had arrogantly thought he was right and had spoken so carelessly. Now those very words were back to haunt and hunt him down, From where he stood, Adrien could see the various emotions that passed across Curtis' face and he smiled to himself, the bastard deserved the comeuppance that was coming to him. Wanting to add salt to the injury, he exclaimed loudly, “We don't have all day Curtis, people have their meals to get back to, and your delay is delaying them as well" and he winked right after his speech, Adrien ached to stick his tongue out for good effect but decided to take the mature route. Curtis' face and neck couldn't get any redder than they already were, it was already as red as cherry, anything further than that, Adrien felt the f
"What?!” Adrien's loud voice reverberated through the room, his voice was so loud that it got a few people cowering, Curtis inclusive who immediately lowered his head, Adam couldn't believe his ears and he sought to understand Curtis better, he raised his head slightly to look at Curtis, his forehead creasing as he did, before glancing at Adrien, he raised his eyebrow at him, who shrugged in return. “What do you mean by, you do not have it?” he queried, his voice laced with anger Still on his knees, Curtis became fidgety as he swallowed the lump in his throat, he had dug his grave with his own hands, Amber couldn't stay still as she kept shuffling on her feet, time was of the essence where her father's health was concerned, Glancing over at Curtis, her face reddened as her eyes saw him, it was all because of him she was in this agitation mess, if he hadn't messed with Mr Adam, she and Mr Adam would have been headed over to her father right this minute, 'I ought to show him
After the restaurant squabble and ignoring both women, Amber and Adam arrived at Rowland's Mansion, it looked like a castle in a fairytale and was a beautiful sight to behold. Coming over, Amber had made her driver drive faster than normal, a journey that would usually take about thirty minutes, took about fifteen to twenty minutes. As far as Amber was concerned, time wasn't on their hand so Amber tried racing against time. She quickly led Adam into the main building and straight to her father's room, where an almost lifeless man was lying on the bed, He was pale and hooked to different machines and tubes, there was a constant beeping sound in the room, getting closer Adam could tell that the man struggled to breathe despite the machines he was connected to, the man really didn't look good and was on the brink of death. Two other people were in the room but Amber and Adam took no notice of them at all as they rushed into the room, “Amber, thank goodness You're back" A young ma
The tension in the room was palpable as everyone listened to Adam. Dr Carl took in a deep breath that was audible as he let out a gasp, he slowly and forcefully expelled the breath, and his eyebrows drew close as his brain processed what Adam had said, His lips pulled back in disgust as he straightened himself and advanced towards Adam, his muscles were visibly tightened as he moved. In all of his years and career, nobody had dared to challenge him in this manner, Him? The great and famous Dr Carl, he who was a consultant at other famous and acclaimed hospitals, yet a fellow who had never seen the four walls of medical school had the impertinence to challenge him! “If you're able to do the impossible, I will revoke my license and will declare to the world that I have met someone who surpasses me in the medical field, in fact, my phone is with my assistant, if you're able to prove me wrong, he would open my social account and announce on all platforms that I Doctor Carlos Orlof has m
