Adrian was still trying to understand why the system had given him just three hours to establish a person.“It seems you begin to get more ridiculous as time goes on,” Adrian uttered under his breath as his eyeballs danced left and right, thinking of how he could get the task done.Then he rose to his feet, abruptly.“Well, I’ve got no time to waste, so, I got to get going, now.” He said to himself, and walked towards the door, then stepped out of the office.As he walked out of the company, he got into his car and began to drive along the road and other places he could think of. Most people he saw, either looked like they were going to work or they looked more like illiterates that wouldn’t know what kind of business they wanted, and how to keep it alive.He searched around for over two hours, and then leaned on his car seat, taking a break for a while. He obviously couldn’t just give the opportunity to anyone, not worthy or capable, or it wouldn’t be an establishment, and he would h
Adrian took her to a shopping store, first to give her a new, confident look. At least, the executives were not kids who would see a woman, looking poor, and a bit tattered, and then allow her to become the CEO, without questions.“Now, you look much better,” Adrian uttered, with a smile.“I really don’t know how else to thank you.” She said, with trembling lips.“The only way you can thank me is by doing good at the meeting. Sound confident, and ready for the position you’re about to take. The reason I’m having faith in you is because you have once headed a firm. So, please I have helped you up to this level, the best you could do is to act good enough for them to be convinced.”“I will try my possible best. It’s just like an interview.”“Yeah, you could put it that way,” Adrian said as he urged them to both leave the store.He had about fifteen minutes left, and that was actually the reason he came over to a store that was not far from the company.In about three minutes, they got t
Adrian felt really good and didn’t know how else to express his joy or he would seem crazy. No one knew he was happy about two things, so, if he expressed his joy over two things, it would seem really weird to him.After the conference meeting, Dorothy went out with Adrian, she thanked him so much that tears were almost dropping from her eyes. She didn’t know what else to say or do to show him how grateful she was.“You don’t need to thank me. I can tell that you’ve done many good deeds when you still had enough, so I feel you’re just being paid back, such good deeds.” Adrian said as he got into his car with her.He was going to drive her back to the hospital to see her kids before she would go home.After dropping her off at the hospital, he drove back to his own company to check on how things, were.“Welcome.” Sophie greeted, with a smile.“Thanks. How is everything working so far?” Adrian asked as he sat on his executive chair.“Yes. Everything has been going well. The only thing w
The next day, Adrian got up from bed, beaming with smiles. He felt so good today, and couldn’t wait to get to the company.On getting to the company, his employees all greeted him as he walked in, and then headed to the elevator which button he pressed, to take him to the last floor.“Good morning.” Sophie greeted him, happily.“Good morning. How was your night?” Adrian asked, out of concern.“It wasn’t cool. But I had to endure since it was for a greater cause.” She replied, with a slight smile.“It’s going to be just for a while. By the way, that reminds me, let’s head over to the production lab, to see what they have cooked for us, and how well, it is going.” Adrian mentioned, and rose to his feet, then stepped out of the office.Sophie smiled at how energetic he always was, and always ready to use his time, wisely. She followed him, down to the production lab.“Good morning, sir.” They all greeted Adrian as he walked into the lab.“Morning, everyone. I hope you’re working hard on
Nathan Reeds had already agreed to have a meeting with Adrian, in the afternoon, and Adrian was more than prepared for it.“Are you sure this is going to work?” Lucas asked, trying to be certain things weren't going to go south.“Trust me. I've got this under control. Just relax and follow things the way they ought to play out.” Adrian said to him, hoping he wasn't also going to mess things up with his little faith. When it was about time for their meeting, Adrian went to meet with Nathan Reeds at a particular garage and Nathan was the one who picked the location.“So, you are the man who sent my niece to jail, then! Who are you, and what do you own?” He questioned, with his brows, raised.“Oh, come on. Do I have to be someone on your level, before I can send your niece to jail?” Adrian questioned and scoffed as he dipped his hands into his pockets.“For a young man, you are quite bold and daring. Anyways, today will be the day you learn your lesson.” As Nathan said that, his men be
The woman managed to get him to stay stable before she was able to inject the sedative into him.“What did you inject into me?” Nathan questioned at the top of his voice.He tried to move, and his eyeballs were dancing left and right, looking like he wasn’t comfortable with what was going on.Slowly, his eyes began to close up, and Adrian glanced at the woman.“Alright, I think you can start, now.” Adrian urged as he placed his hands on his waist.The hypnotist then closed all the curtains around and turned on the AC. So, the only sound that could be heard, was the AC.“If he were awake, I would have used a pendulum, but in his sleep state, I could also work on him. The cool atmosphere can also help, so I’ll need perfect silence, alright? Even though he makes any noise, or does anything you don’t expect, don’t make a noise.”“Alright, just hurry up with it. We don’t have much time. I just need this done with.” Adrian uttered, trying to show how urgent it was.He had so many things to
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
