Adrian started with the whole game, and this time, it was a harder one, but he was able to win it.CONGRATULATIONS! YOU LEVELED UP!Then 30 thousand dollars was sent to his account, and he almost jumped up, feeling the reality of the luck that had shone on him. He was glad, and felt on top of the world, over the money. This made him so determined to continue working harder, and to also ensure he won all he had to, to get money.~As time went on, days turned into months, and months turned into a year. Adrian began to build up his wealth. From playing casino games to having solo food contests, brought by the system, he was becoming much more stable.CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE REACHED THE THIRD STAGE AND WILL BEGIN TO RECEIVE TASKS. GOODLUCK!Not long after the system notification popped up, about ten million dollars was credited into his account.Adrian smiled as he dipped his hands into his pockets while staring at the beautiful sky from his balcony.“Sir, they’re here.” One of his gua
“Adrian?” Damien voiced out, looking surprised, but somehow, that surprised look held a hint of sneer.“Yeah, it’s me.” Adrian smiled, overlooking that.When some of his classmates bullied Adrian for being so poor, Damien would always tell them that Adrian could turn out to be wealthy, someday. And even when the other kids laughed, Adrian had always taken that word as a ray of hope.“Wow. It’s been a long time since I saw you. The last time I saw you, you were still looking for a job.” Damien reminded him, and Adrian laughed a little.“Yes, that’s right. So, you work here?” Adrian asked, happy that Damien found a good job, and was certainly living a good life.“Yeah, I do. What about you? You came here for a job or what?” Damien asked, out of heightened curiosity.“No. The receptionist called you minutes ago, to inform you of a client who is here to acquire a building. I’m the client.” Adrian gladly told him.He was happy to let him know that, just so he could refer to those times whe
“Consider it done.” Austin Clementon spoke and then signaled his guards to get Damien out of the office.“Thanks for your cooperation.” Adrian appreciated him, with a smile.“It’s my pleasure. Please let’s go over to the office to get some paperwork done.” Austin Clementon urged, and both Adrian and Sophie followed him.But before they got into the elevator, they saw Damien being dragged out, and when Damien spotted them, he immediately ran to meet Mr. Clementon.“Sir, these people are nothing but fraudsters. Don’t take them in.” Damien voiced out, pointing his hands at both Adrian and Sophie.“And that is the reason you got fired. Because you do not have the ability to recognize potential customers. Just imagine, you would have sent him away when even most of my able customers were finding it difficult to buy it.” Mr. Clementon complained.“What!” Damien exclaimed softly.“Yes. And he has insisted that you get fired. Next time, you watch your mouth.” Mr. Clementon spoke, with a glare
Adrian walked up to the reception, with one hand in his pocket, and then looked at the woman, crying, hopelessly.“Good morning, sir. How can I help you?” The receptionist asked, politely, with a smile on her face. “I’d like to pay up her children’s hospital bills,” Adrian said to her.And on hearing that, the woman looked up at him, shocked. She rose to her feet immediately, with her eyes tearing up.“Sir, did you just say paying up my kids’ hospital bills?” She asked again, to be certain she heard right.“Yes, I did. I’m going to pay up your kids’ hospital bills.”“Oh, my goodness. I can’t believe it, sir. Thank you so much. Thank you very much, sir.” The woman appreciated him, more and more.“You’re welcome, ma’am,” Adrian responded and then turned to the receptionist, who was beaming with smiles.“So, how much is it?” Adrian inquired, and brought out his card.“Both her kids’ hospital bills sum up to 2 million dollars.” The receptionist responded politely.Adrian found it difficu
That night, Adrian would have shared his testimony about how he was helped by someone he had once offered assistance to, but he couldn’t, because anything about the system, was confidential, and he shouldn’t be telling anyone about it.“So, cheers to our first progress.” Adrian raised a toast, and both Sophie and Lucas raised their glasses of wine and clinked it.“Yeah!” Lucas voiced out happily, and they all had their seats. “So, I have put it up that we’re in need of workers, in the tech field, and I have been receiving emails of their CVs. It’s so difficult to choose any, because they’re all good.” Lucas spoke, with a smile, revealing his nice set of teeth.“I understand things like that. Sophie should also be in charge of that. Pick the ones you feel should be elected, and then we send them an email to come for an interview, tomorrow morning. I think by 11 am, they should have checked their mail or something.” Adrian spoke and sipped his wine.“Yeah, they should have. I’m going to
Adrian didn’t know if he was to move closer to her, or not. He decided that he would act like he didn’t hear what she said, and was going to stay for a while, before walking up to her.At least, she wouldn’t know that he had been here, all along, because she seemed too occupied with her present mood.Although, he wondered why she wanted to kill him, even after saving her grandfather,“Why would she still be after me, even when she had made it clear that we had nothing binding us.” Adrian thought to himself as he stared at her.Then he took steps forward until he got close to her.“Never thought I would see you.” He spoke as he also placed his hands on the trail. Then Talia glared at him, with so much hate, visible in her eyes.“Oh! I thank the heavens that you’re alive.” She said, and sneered at him.“I should take that as an insult, I guess,” Adrian uttered as he looked far beyond the river.“Whatever you wish.” She spoke harshly.“And why are you suddenly sounding too harsh? Isn’t
Adrian turned away from her, not in the mood to even deal with someone as despicable as she was.“Are you trying to run from shame? Acting all big, and something?” Adrian turned back at her, beginning to get annoyed at the way she was speaking to him.“I think you should just stop, and leave. I’m not here for you.” Adrian uttered sharply and turned to the attendant waiting for him. “I’d like to have a black leather bag.”“Alright, this way, sir.”Regina rolled her eyes and blocked his path before he would make a step, further.“Rather than watch my ex-husband, make fun of himself, I would leave. I’m so happy no one knew we were once married. If not, it would be so difficult for me to raise my head up high.” She voiced out sharply, meaning to hurt Adrian to the bones, but none of it got to him.He watched as she walked out of the store, and then turned to the attendant, whose head was dropped down, to show respect.“Please show me.” He urged and followed her the moment she began walki
“Gotcha!” Lucas voiced out, heartily, then turned to both Adrian and Mr. Daniel. “It wasn’t easy, but I managed to find him, using an extra-something, you know.” Lucas said, with so much pride.He had put so much focus on it, and wanted to badly get it done, just so that Mr. Daniel wouldn’t have anything on them, whatsoever. And now that he got it, he couldn’t help, but show how happy he was, to have gotten the job done.Adrian smiled, and then turned to Mr. Daniel.“Now, you have your man. And here is his location, and I’ll advise you go in a way that none of his minions would alert him, when they sight you, getting closer.” Adrian spoke, with a little concern.“Thank you. I really appreciate it. What can I do to show my appreciation?” Mr. Daniel asked, looking really grateful.“Well, maybe when I need your help, I’m going to ask.”“Then we might need to exchange contacts.” Mr. Daniel spoke, with a smile.Both Mr. Daniel and Adrian, exchanged contacts, and he left, after that.
