“Sir. I… I don’t know what’s going on. Did I do something wrong?” She asked, looking like tears were going to fall from her eyes, if Adrian went further with being cold to her.“So, when I give you something to eat, it is a bad omen to you, right?”“No. Mot that, sir. Just that… the way you’ve been asking me to eat.” Martha said, looking quite uncomfortable.“Look. You’re wasting my time, Martha. I have a whole lot to do, and I don’t like the way I’m acting towards you, now. It could get worse if you don’t give me what I want.” Adrian threatened, expecting her to confess if she couldn’t bring herself to eat it.“Alright, sir.” She spoke, and then bent to pick up the spoon, then slowly, took a spoon of the food, and ate its content, and Adrian watched as she swallowed it.“Good. It’s not as difficult as you made it seem. Now, take it to the microwave. I need it to get hot, back. You made my food go cold, just for some reasons I don’t understand.” Adrian uttered, and she picked up the t
Adrian got to the venue and so many people attended, just to see the faces of those who were contesting. Although, he had faced a merciless traffic congestion on his way, here, but all that was forgotten, the moment he got to the venue."It's a very big one, isn't it?" Lucas uttered as he looked everywhere."I know, right? The whole audience who would be here would be really cool, and it's going to be more like the whole world, automatically, has come to watch you.""Exactly. You are right."Just while they were talking randomly, they heard a loud piercing sound which was caused by the microphone that was going to be used."Let all contestants get ready to introduce themselves."As they said that, Adrian left Lucas and went to sit where the other contestants were. "They all greeted each other, and while he didn't know who was representing Steve Wilson's other company, he knew he was going to end up knowing about that, once the person came up on stage to introduce him or herself and
Adrian couldn’t believe his eyes. He had to blink them, and also rub them to be certain he was seeing right, as that was the least person, he was expecting.“Please kindly introduce yourself to the judges.” The Announcer urged, and Adrian cleared his throat, first, before putting the microphone, close to his mouth.“I’m Adrian George, the CEO of AD Tech. I am here for this contest, just to show you that there is a bigger hope for humanity; for our better living, and much more, with the use of technology.” Adrian spoke out loud.And as he said that, the crowd who had come to watch the contestants, began to clap as much and as loud as they could. They felt so positive with the way he put his words, and due to the things, they had seen his company do, the faith was automatically vested in their hearts.Adrian left the stage, and went back to meet Lucas.“I thought the judges were supposed to introduce themselves before anyone else.” He spoke, wondering why they hadn’t done that, and had
They had to go home without Sophie as they had gotten a message from her, saying she had something really important to take care of, and that she would explain to them once she is back. Although, Adrian wasn’t quite okay with that as that was somehow a rash behavior coming from her.They were attending to something really important at that moment, and it was only weird that she got herself working on something else.“Well, we both know Sophie doesn’t act anyhow, or do things she ought not to, so let’s just wait until she’s back, before she explains what really made her not attend the registration part of this contest.” Lucas said, trying to calm Adrian down.He knew Adrian already had a bad or would he say, a stressful day, so Sophie sending such kind of message, could only fuel the pending issue.“Alright. We’ll see tomorrow.” Adrian said, and then they parted.Later that night, Lucas was in his bedroom, having wine to himself as he had a few things going on in his mind, until he got
Immediately after the meeting he had, Lucas showed him the comments on some posts about who people feel, would win. And then he was among the top three they expected to win. This cheered Adrian up a little more, as he felt if the judges and audience would be pleased with him, then there might actually be nothing which Josephine could do, against him.“Alright, we’re going to celebrate tonight. I’ll be inviting some other people as well, and our workers. Let’s celebrate in advance, as it is certain we would win.” Adrian said, and Lucas noted it.“Alright then. I’ll notify everyone quickly, so we can all get ready for the party tonight.” Lucas said, with a smile.Adrian went to his office, and began some paper works, but he closed earlier than usual, since he had a celebration, tonight. Meanwhile, Sophie had also sent another message, saying she wouldn’t be able to attend, and that when she is back, she would explain things to them.Although, he was a bit bothered, but he had to tell hi
Sophie on the other hand, had been in captive, but she wasn’t aware, due to the special technology that was being used, at the mansion they had taken her to. Right there, it seemed like time was passing by, slowly, but if they got out of the mansion, they would realize that days might have passed.Presently, Sophie still thought that she had some time before the contest registration would start or end, if she had to spend a longer time than she thought. Steve Wilson had not been able to see her, throughout those days, and that was the major reason he made them to take her to that particular mansion, of his.Sophie was alone, admiring the beautiful garden, and although, she felt weird about the fact that almost every single time, she felt hungry, and they always brought her food at intervals, without minding that she was probably acting like a glutton.Although, she preferred not to accept the food she was being given, but then, she knew how weak she felt, the first time she didn’t acc
It had been two days now since they found out that there was a high chance that Sophie was in Steve Wilson’s hands. It was in the morning, and Adrian was preparing to go to his office. Although, he and Lucas had sparked up an idea, regarding getting a proof that Sophie was right in there, but before they could make such device, a few days more might have to pass. Hopefully that Steve Wilson wouldn’t do anything to her before then.But also, in those few days, the system had a glitch, and had been giving him tasks which weren’t to his liking, or would he say it was unlikely of the system, giving him such tasks, which would make him seem nothing more than a villain. He also had questions on how the system got into his head, because as far as he could remember, he never had any surgery.Fortunately for him, there was someone who knew about the system in his head, and had reached out to him after he got an alert that the system was misbehaving, so Adrian was more than happy to meet with t
Adrian opened his eyes slowly, and met himself in his car, but he couldn’t move. His eyes were still all fuzzy and unclear, and it was an uncomfortable situation for him to be in.The style and method those men used against him was what was confusing him because he didn’t understand why a group of people would want him, but would leave him without abducting him or whatever.He was also wondering what he had been injected for. His eyes searched through his car to know if something had gone missing, but with what he could lay his eyes on, he didn’t find anything amiss.“Sh…shit.” He cursed under his breath, although, he found it hard to mutter out those words.What got him more frustrated was the fact that he had to meet with the tech expert, and now, he was way beyond late.To the tech expert, it would seem as if he wasn’t serious about it, or like he was being nonchalant. Not long after he thought about the tech expert, a text popped up on his phone.Thankfully, his phone wasn’t too f
