The current situation attracted his grandfather’s attention, so, both his grandfather and Lucas were seated, before Adrian.“Grandfather, please just allow me to do away with her.” Adrian pleaded, not wanting to hear his grandfather have to give any final say.“Regardless of what she did, you should overlook it and save a life, first. Then after you save her grandfather’s life, we can now settle things amicably.”“But grandfather, by settling things amicably, I believe you mean we would cease to be engaged,” Adrian spoke, hoping his grandfather would agree to that.“No, Adrian. A contract is a contract. You have to work in accordance with the rules. But she’ll certainly be punished for daring to attempt abducting my grandson.Adrian still wasn’t satisfied with his grandfather’s response and then rose to his feet.“No, grandfather. I can’t allow that woman to feel I’m bound by rules, therefore giving her the audacity to do whatever she wants. I will go over to her home to treat her gra
“So, what do we do? Now that he has given you a task, you have to ensure it’s done, the way he wants it.” Lucas said as he finally sat on the couch, after pacing around for about half an hour. “Well, I have no choice but to do this. Truly, if I want to get back at those who did wrong, I must prove that I am very well capable of that, or I would forever be a pauper and a useless being, to them.” Adrian spoke, staring into blank space like he was working out some things in his head.“I think we should start with finding out his current whereabouts, and then we start out what we ought to,” Lucas suggested.“Alright, let’s find out.” Adrian agreed, and they began to make their findings.After conducting deep research, they were able to get his whereabouts.“Paris of all places,” Lucas said as he connected the heel of his palm, to his face, and dragged it down to his chin.“Is there a problem with that?” Adrian asked, wondering why Lucas acted that way because he felt wealthy men were alw
The next day, Adrian was ready for his flight, which was going to take off by 11:00 am, but his grandfather had asked to have a talk with him, by 9 am, so that he would still be able to catch up with his flight, no matter how long their discussion was going to take, which he clearly had no intentions of making it take so long.“So, I have also called you to wish you good luck on your trip, and what you are going there, for. As I withdrew all that I gave you, I wrote a will, that you will only acquire all my wealth when you have a kid from a woman you love.”“Grandfather!” Adrian voiced out in shock as he rose to his feet. “This isn’t what we agreed on,” Adrian spoke bitterly and also tried his best not to sound disrespectful.“I know. I only said it’s when you acquire all my wealth, but I am going to will a part of my wealth to you when you come back from your trip after being successful in what you went to do.” His grandfather assured him, calmly.Adrian understood that his grandfath
He looked back abruptly, hoping he wasn’t about to experience an unfortunate incident. But thankfully, his eyes fell on the lady whom he met at the airport earlier.“What are you doing around here?” Adrian asked, out of curiosity, wondering if she was following him.“I should be asking that. I thought you said you were going to wait for a cab. Why are you walking with your luggage in your hand?” She questioned, giving Adrian a look that seemed like she knew his kind of person; that is people who are too stubborn to listen.“Even if I followed you, won’t I have to walk? The only difference is I won’t have to carry my luggage.”Then the lady burst out in laughter.“Are you for real? So, you thought I meant I was going to carry your bag, and then we’ll walk to your destination? Oh, come on. This is the 21st century.” She said as she dabbed her hand.“You mean you own a cab?” Adrian questioned, looking taken aback.“Yeah, I do. I actually walked backward to ease myself as there are no woo
His ears perked up naturally, eager to hear more. After his encounter with the strict receptionist, he was desperate for any lead on Steve Wilson. He just wasn't expecting it from a cab driver. “How did you know about Steve Wilson?” He questioned her, with a raised brow, keen to hear her response.“Well, it’s a story I don’t really want to talk about.” She responded dryly like she couldn't care less, but looking at her through the front mirror, he could tell that her countenance had fallen.It made Adrian even more curious. For her to have such a reaction to Steve Wilson, then it could only mean that she had to know him on a more personal level. An outsider watching Steve Wilson couldn't just have that kind of reaction. Moving forward, he spoke, “I came here to see Steve Wilson. You know something about him, don't you? How about telling me what you know about him? It shouldn't cost a lot, should it? You’ve been helping me since I got to Paris. How about you help me one more time?”
Adrian was dumbfounded, and his heart began to pound in fear. How did he know him? Did he do research on his grandfather's company? Even still, he didn't think he ought to be recognized that easily. “What do you mean?” Adrian managed to ask, although he couldn't hide the tremble in his voice. “You know me?” Just then, Wilson barked out a laugh and walked towards him. He placed a hand on his chin, and raised his head, looking at him, even though he wasn't taller than Adrian was. “Young chap. You seem familiar. I just don't know where I've seen you.” He said, and his eyes fell on the fake business card.“Joe Turner.” He murmured. “You’re into tech?”“Yes, sir. Our company is intending to be one of the largest tech companies in the city. But of course, yours will still be greater than ours.” Adrian said, trying to banish the fear from his voice. “Let him go. He doesn't look like the con artists roaming around these days. And if he is, you all know how they end up.” The men left Adria
Adrian felt it couldn't be a co-incidence. Every place he passed through, the man was right there, a distance away from him.More like the man didn't want to be seen by him or sort. But Adrian wasn't a man who would just walk on the roads without being conscious of whatever was going on, around him."Who could this possibly be?" He questioned, under his breath.But then, it didn't take long before it came to him that it could actually be Wilson's man. He must have wanted to tail him, just to know more current details about him.Adrian then smiled. He planned to make the day an interesting one, for the spy. He was going to make them believe him by faking a lot of things until he felt it was time for him to go back to Blue Sky Hotel.The first place he headed to, was a coffee shop. In that coffee shop, he called out the attendant after she had served him coffee."Have you ever thought having the perfect entity to tell you the best outfit to wear for the day? Rather than having to ask di
The next day, he was contacted by Steve Wilson’s secretary, asking him to come over to the company, as Steve Wilson wanted to see him. Adrian was happy because he had been invited to Steve Wilson’s main company.It meant that Steve Wilson had gotten a level of trust in him, and it was certain he would be able to ruin him.After the call with the secretary ended, he put a call through, to Sophie.“He just called me, through his secretary. He invited me to his company.”“That’s good news!” Sophie voiced out, happily.“I know right?”“You know what? I will advise you to place a tapping device in his hospital when you see him. It is going to be really beneficial for you.”“Hmmm Alright then. I can just get one done, as quickly as possible.”“Exactly. That would be much better. So, are you going to come pick me up?” Adrian asked, After Adrian ended the call, he got prepared for his meeting, and when Sophie got to the hotel, he went down to meet her.“Alright, you know where I could get the
