“Please sir,” the vice manager pleaded on behalf of Elizabeth. “She is a young breadwinner, helping her poor family and she is the only source of hope they have,"Adam and Jordan exchanged glances and burst into laughter,“Wait a minute, she is from a wretched background and would have the guts to speak in such a gross manner to me?” Jordan asked with a surprised glance at the Vice manager.“Can you call her in?” he demanded. “I need to see what she looks like,The vice manager rang up the secretary and she sent up Elizabeth, who walked into the office, shivering,Jordan's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, as he stared at her with mouth agape, “You? Elizabeth?” He turned to the Vice manager. “I was her surety for this job. When the board demanded a surety for her, I stood for her. So it is you who engineered the embarrassment that Adam Sander endured today?”She started to shake her head and then nodded, tears gathering in her eyes. Her face was beginning to lose its colour,
The sonorous sound of the afternoon breeze filled Adam's ears as he walked out of the Haman Hale bank, feeling a little lightened as he walked out, his mood gradually swaying back to his normal self as he tried to push aside the terrific events that occurred earlier.He was trying to be hasty in his steps as he walked through the street, down to a point where he could pick a taxi, he needed to check on Amber before his trip to thr exhibition,It was going to be a long day but the better half of it has been graciously given to the bank, not on his will.His loops curled up in a sneer as he remembered in a flash the hoarse voice of the lady whose name was Elizabeth and the accusatory voice of the pot bellied mad who was called Mr.Durmont,“Funny humans…” he mumbled through clenched teeth and a stifled smile.A taxi pulled up in front of him and the driver poked his head out.“Do you need a ride, Sire?” He asked, flashing his brown teeth and his hairy nostrils,Adam was taken aback, as h
The journey to Dumbbell in the North Province was long and Adam sat in the tight cab, glaring at the streets and the roads. General Olson was right, it was a small town, but as small as it was, it was beautiful,He was so engrossed in the beautiful forms of nature that he did not catch a quick glimpse of the little crowd of three people that were by the roadside, two of them moving frantically, while someone seemed to be lying on the ground,He registered the scene in his subconscious but hadn't fully sunk in until the cab sped a little down the road, blinking his eyes, he sat up on his seat and immediately tapped the driver,“Did you see that?”“See what Sir?” The driver asked, looking at him through the rearview mirror,Adam glanced a little to the back, and then faced the driver again,“We gotta go back. I just saw three people by the road and they look like they need help.”The cab driver looked through his rear mirror to view the back and he hesitantly hit the road in reverse mod
The calmer sister palmed her hand to her face and exhaled, her face reddening as she turned her sister to face her, releasing her grip on Joan's hair,“You haven't done anything aside from pacing back and forth and wailing at intervals! Now that someone is here and willing to help out you're acting unreasonable?! Wake up, Joan!!!" She seethed as she snapped at her sister who only sneered in response and hissed loudly.Ignoring her sister, she heaved a breath and faced Adam calmly,“Go on, and do whatever it takes…” her voice cracked some more and she expelled a breath, closing her eyes tightly before continuing,"Just please help him if you can…He can't die" It was a terrific scene for Adam, watching siblings fight over who got to handle their father,Adam nodded his head, he could understand her fears and plight. He got to work as he used the needles ito find the old man's pressure point and traced his fingers from his neck down to his wrist in search of a small vein.He immediately
The journey to Dumbbell in the North Province wasn't as harrowing as Adam felt it would be, asides from the driver's praises at intervals and loud personality, the drive was quite pleasant. The exhibition was a two-day event and he was a little late for the first day, considering the delayed time while helping the family by the road.As soon he arrived at the event, he thanked the driver and stepped out, heading towards the hall, he couldn't wait to find what had brought him to this part and finally be able to help his child,Adam heaved a breath and closed his eyes briefly before trudging forward with a small smile etched on his face, The hall was buzzing with activities as Adam made his way through, it was a large hall with different stalls as well as the main room where the auction would take place. Adam couldn't help but admire the view, taking it all in. He was glad General Olson had told him about this place, it seemed promising. "Over here Sir, I have the rarest and most uni
Not long after, a lady rushed towards them screaming with tears rolling down her cheeks.“I have been scammed by a lady here! Where is she?!”The woman demanded with tears streaming down her face as she darted her eyes around the stall, the seller seemed to have disappeared into thin air,“I said, where's that fake woman!" She cried out, almost sniffling as her eyes kept darting. Adam who already knew what was happening hid a smirk as he spared the proud man a glance,"Ma’am what's all the fuss about?! The auction is about to start, we can't have the hallway rowdy” the proud man stated proudly with a puffed-up chest,The ranting lady sneered at him and huffed,“I want my money back! Take this useless and rotten herb off my hand this minute" she whined, her voice almost crumbling under the weight of the herb she held, Adam felt a little pang in his heart for her, he could tell that she had been duped by the herb woman, who had almost caught him.He cleared his throat and faced the woma
Still chuckling to himself, Adam made his way to his seat as he waited for the event to officially start, the seats had been sold at high prices and there was a VIP section available, but having had enough with the shenanigans of VIPs and the hassles that came with it, he had reserved a normal seat in hope to remain incognito as usual. He was only here for one thing, purchase the necessary herbs and take a leave.Settling himself into the seat, he relaxed his back on the chair while subtly looking around the hall, he could see the pompous few with their noses in the air and their chest puffed out and shook his head.“Ladies and gentlemen, we have a variety of herbs for your selection. As you know, this is an exhibition and auction, and as auctions work, the items will go to the highest bidder, I hope you're here and ready with your money?!”A chorus of yes rang in the air, and the man nodded and smiled at the audience. In no time, he began calling different herbs that were up for sale
The crowd began to settle back into their seats, still casting a weary glance at Adam who wasn't fazed by their mutterings or mumblings. Though the crowd were seemingly settled, Mr Fannik who still felt unjustified wasn't, and so he stomped his foot and raised his voice,“So just because he claims he's an associate of General Olson, we're to believe his cock and bull story?!" He demanded, his face going entirely red,His questions caused the people to look at themselves as they also wondered and found truth in what he had spoken,“That's true! What proof does he have that he's associated with the General?! We all know he's a busy man and doesn't frolic with the commoner!" Adam turned to look at the woman who had spoken and shook his head mildly at her words, the woman in turn scowled at him and hissed, eyeing him in disdain,"Someone should call General Olson and confirm the truth!”The support competitor saw this as another opportunity and promptly shot up from his seat, after all,
