Talia shouted at him, in anger, and then he moved closer to the glass.“Well, you don’t need to scream too much. Enjoy the consequences of your actions” Adrian said, and walked out of the station, with Talia screaming she would make him regret.Now, the pending issue had been resolved, and the next thing was to continue with the project which he wanted to monitor closely. He got back to his company, in no time, and headed into the production lab, immediately. Adrian smiled to see that the project was almost finished.“Alright, everyone. You can take a break once you’re done with a particular stage, and then tomorrow, you can continue.” Adrian informed, and they all responded happily.Adrian went back to his office and finished going through some documents until it was time to go home.On getting home, he felt so hungry and had even passed all the restaurants where he could get some fast food, so he had to rely on the food that he would tell his maid to cook for him, just now.“I need
Adrian was in agony as he held his tummy, tight. He couldn’t bear the pain, and blood mixed with his spit as he fell to the floor, and tried to drag himself, at least, to the door, probably he would be able to reach down the stairs, which was seeming so impossible.“Arrgh…” He groaned, squeezing his face in pain.He could barely reach halfway into his room before he began to feel so weak. His eyes became fuzzy, and his head also felt so heavy that it became so difficult to raise.His breath was heavy and raspy as well, and his body went limp.Just before his eyes went shut, the door barged open, and although Adrian couldn’t hear a thing, a high-piercing sound filled his ears.He didn’t know who came in; if it was an enemy or a friend, and what intent they had as they came in, but he hoped he wasn’t going to die so soon, and even before dealing with his enemies.~The next time he opened his eyes, he was in a ward, in the hospital. Everywhere seemed serene, and the only sounds he could
The day happened to pass, so fast, and with each hour that passed by, Adrian couldn’t help but feel excited over the end results of his project.It was about 5 pm when he gathered the production team lead and his members, for a meeting.“So, I’d like to thank you all for being so hardworking and focused on this project. You took my desire as yours, and that’s so mind-blowing. I already know this project is a success, so I will be rewarding your hard work, by giving each and every one of you, a bonus to your salaries. By month’s end, you’ll receive it.” Adrian informed them, and they all clapped happily.“Thank you so much, boss. For having faith in us, and our work. We promise never to disappoint or fail you.” The team lead assured Adrian, and he nodded, acknowledging his words.“Alright then. My men would be acting on it, tonight. Thanks for your co-operation. Dismissed.”~It was nightfall already, and Regina had just had her bath, not long. “Oh, jeez. If they had been able to take
Adrian phoned Mr. Nicole a little to midnight after he had thought his plan over and over, through and through, and on the second ring, Mr. Nicole answered the call."Well…" Adrian started, not knowing how to bring about the topic, at first."You've made up your mind?" Mr. Nicole asked, wondering what Adrian’s decision was going to be."Yes, I have," Adrian replied as he played with a loose wool from his pillow. "And what is it?" Mr. Nicole asked, and Adrian smiled, over the phone. He could sense the eagerness in Mr. Nicole's voice. Mr. Nicole really seemed to be looking up to Adrian, and it was all the more reason for Adrian to feel pressured to make it work. "I'm going to try my best to convince Mr. Checkers," Adrian replied, and Mr. Nicole couldn't contain his smile."Thanks so much, Adrian. I really appreciate it. I really do." Mr. Nicole told him honestly, and Adrian smiled still twirling the loose wool around his finger. "So, I'll arrange your flight. You just need to get the
Well, Adrian decided to ignore it, thinking maybe she was just like that—weird, and smiling."Jameson is having a meeting right now. He actually didn't plan for it. It was a sort of impromptu meeting. It was uncalled for so he had to attend to it using Skype. He'll be down in a moment, so in the meantime, I can keep you occupied. I'm Maya, Jameson's wife." She explained, then introduced herself as she walked to him, extending her hand.He shook it politely and she held onto his hand. Adrian wondered what was wrong with her. She had just called herself Mr. Jameson's wife so why was she still trying to flirt with him? Was she there to sabotage his mission?"Would you let go please?" He asked, the words polite and soft but nothing like the hard look in his eyes, and she smiled, then left his hand.He was highly irritated by her actions, but he had to keep it calm and cool, so he wouldn’t blow up his chances even before he could start."You're just what I like. Well, follow me. I want to
Adrian stared at the magazine not knowing how he was going to sneak his way into Mr. Checker's heart, if he wasn't even going to listen. Then Maya picked up the magazine and stared at it, but didn't make a comment. She only sipped her wine, carefully as she stared at it, and then seconds later, her eyes met with Adrian's and she raised a brow. He looked away from her, and turned to Mr. Checkers."What day do you think would be perfect for you to listen?" Adrian asked, and Mr. Checkers looked out the window with a look of utter disinterest pasted on his face. "I'll call you very soon. Although, I do not assure you that I will still agree to sell the land." He continued, raising his glass to his lips."Honey, don't drink too much wine. Whenever you drink too much, you do not eat whatever I cook." Maya whined and she went over to him, taking the glass of wine from him gently, and he looked up at her, with a smile on his face."I can't help it. The wine is delicious." Mr. Checkers count
On the other hand, Lucas was with his camera, around Steve Wilson’s house, that is; Adrian’s previous house.“What the hell does Regina keep looking for, here?” He uttered, under his breath.He felt that Regina was naïve to what Steve Wilson could do, even if they were both planning something together which she is a hundred percent aware of.He took the picture of her stepping in, as evidence, in case it was needed by Adrian for something. Either to believe that Regina kept going there, or for any of his wit games. He was about to remove his mask, while turning around to leave, then he bumped into a huge body. Lucas looked up to find out who it was that he had bumped into.Behold, it was a man, in dark suit. He looked so rigid, and his facial expression was firm.“Why does his face look like someone who is capable or murdering without any traces, found?” Lucas thought to himself, fearfully. “Who are you, and why do you keep on staring at that mansion?” The man questioned, with his e
Adrian immediately regained his composure and took a step back."Listen, I have my ego too, lady. Tell me if you're interested or not. You were all into me this morning, bugging and clinging onto me. Thinking about it, I decided that there's nothing for me to lose so I could tally with you.” He uttered and paused for a while.“But next, you accuse me of using you. Who's using who in this stuff? You want to use me because your oldie is not enough for you. Isn't that what's happening here?" He attacked her, feigning anger and she blinked, rethinking everything and the anger cleared from her eyes."Well…" she was saying but he held up a hand."And did I ever suggest you help me with your husband? Think back on our conversation. I only commented about how the dinner wasn't perfect because your husband wasn't exactly pleasing. You're the one who went off bragging about how you could turn his heart of stone into foam." He shot at her."I wasn't bragging!" She said and her eyes began to shi
