“A store room? For that same 200 dollars?” He asked with a confused look and she nodded her head. “But that's cheating,” he complained and she scoffed. She glared at him with a cold look on her face. “Are you interested or not?” She asked and he nodded his head.“You should know that I'm helping you out because of your condition. The room is off-limits so I'd advise you to behave and leave as early as possible. I don't want to have a problem with my manager,” she said and he nodded his head gently. “Okay, no problem. I will make sure to take care of the room and I'll leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning,” he said and she nodded her head. He brought out all the cash inside his pocket and stretched it at her. It was 200 hundred dollars. Maybe it was a good idea that he didn't ignore Brian's money on the floor. He wouldn't have been able to pay for the room and he would be stranded yet again. “That's good. So take the key and leave before I change my mind,” she said and stret
“Are you sure of what you're saying?” The man asked and she nodded her head quickly. “Yes, I am certain of what I'm saying, sir.”“How could I see him and lie that I didn't see him? I didn't see anyone like him yesterday, Sir,” she insisted and the manager nodded his head then turned to Adrian. “Thank you. You can continue with your job,” the manager glanced at Adrian, who was burning with anger. “What do you have to say to this?” The manager asked. “There's nothing I have to say but I'm sure you know there's no way I would be able to have access to that room without keys.”“And even if I stole the keys and entered, I wouldn't have the guts to sleep because I know how tight your security is,” he said and the manager nodded his head gently. The manager frowned and turned to the receptionist, who lowered her head in shame. “Is that true? Don't make me angry,” he said in a cold tone. “That's a lie. Like I said earlier, I don't know this man. Maybe it was my colleague he saw and no
“Adrian,” Chloe yelled and ran as fast as possible toward Adrian, who was on the brink of falling into the ocean. “You can't die not yet,” she half-yelled and fought back the tears that threatened to pour down from her eyes. Luckily for her, he missed his step as he was about to dive into the ocean and he ended up calling in her arms. It took her a lot of stress before she was about to track and locate him. She had been keeping tabs on him after she found out that his wife had sent him out of the house and she needed his help desperately. “Mr. Adrian,” she called out at him and tapped on his face worriedly. He opened his eyes weakly and turned to her with a cold look on his face. “What do you want? Why did you save me, huh?” He asked. “I don't know whatever you're passing through that made you think committing suicide is the right thing to do but whatever it may be this isn't the right time,” she said and he scoffed. “Judging from your expression, I'm sure you need my help,” he
“What's the problem?” The General looked up with a worried look on his face after hearing the words that came out of Adrian's mouth. “I don't know until you tell me the last place she went before this happened to her,” he said and the man arched his eyebrows. “What is he talking about? You'd better ask him so he'll stop putting us in suspense,” he said and she nodded her head. The doctors, who were present, couldn't help but frown as they listened to Adrian spewing out nonsense to the General. They thought Adrian was just one of those local con artists who claimed to be a doctor just to swindle people of their money. “That's enough, Mr. Man. I can't stand and watch you trying to scam my patients, okay.”“I think I have had enough of you. What has where she went to have to her illness?” The man who seemed to have a beef with Adrian said in a colder tone. “It has a lot to do so if you don't have anything better to say I'd advise you to keep shut and stop disturbing me,” Adrian sai
“What happened to you?” The General asked as he leaned closer to his wife, who was coughing out blood. The blood wasn't ordinary blood. It was dark in color.“I don't know what's happening to me, Feng. I feel like something is burning inside of me,” she said and Adrian breathed out in relief after hearing that statement. That was what he needed to hear since he wasn't aware whether the cure worked well because it didn't work out as it was supposed to. The meridian and acupoint were supposed to push out dark blood from her veins but it happened in another way. He was worried if something had gone wrong but he didn't know that she was coughing the poison inside of her until he moved closer and stared at her. “Congratulations. Your wife is healed,” he said and the General turned to him with an angry look on his face. “What do you mean by that, huh?”“My wife is coughing out blood and you have the guts to congratulate me. Why are you congratulating me? Because she's going to die?”“I
The next day, he woke up as the ray of the sun pierced into his eyes. He yawned and shut his eyes open then stood up from the floor where he spread his mattress on. He picked up the mattress, dusted it, and pushed it inside his traveling bag. Although it was a pity that he had to sleep in an uncompleted building, he knew he didn't have a chance. And it was better than going back to that god-damned house of his wife. He bit on his lips and clenched his fist with an angry look on his face as the memory of what happened between his wife and Brian came rushing to his head. As much as he didn't want to remember, the memory was still fresh. He snapped out of his thoughts, reached out to his crutches, held it firmly, and stood up from the floor then picked up his bag from the floor. Of course, he was supposed to collect money from those people considering how rich they were but he doesn't work that way. He earned the trust of his clients first especially those who looked down on him b
Adrian looked up and stared at his wife with a cold look on his face. He glared at her as she walked majestically toward him with a cocky smile on her face. She was proud and elegant. “You can have your seat,” he said in a cold tone and her manager, Mr. Donald, stood up from the chair. “Welcome ma'am,” he greeted her and bowed his head in respect. “Can you excuse us? I want to talk to my soon-to-be ex-wife,” he said in a cold tone and Donald arched his eyebrows. Sarah stared at her husband with a surprised look on her face. She was expecting Smith to be on his all four begging her to accept him back to his life but here he was acting like he didn't care about her. She believed he was acting that way so she would believe that he'd gotten over her. There was nothing like that.“Huh?” Donald asked with a surprised look on his face. “I'm sure you heard me. Or are you deaf?” He asked in a calm tone and Donald grunted. “He can't leave this place without my permission. He's my manager
Just as he was about to leave the restaurant, he remembered that he was going to leave his ex-wife, Sarah, who seemed to be the most confused person on earth at that moment. He turned and stared at her with a cold gaze on his face. “I'm sorry that I'm leaving you so soon but it seems my ride is here and I can't afford to waste my time on a piece of trash like you. Can I?” He asked and turned to the guards, who understood the assignment. “Of course, you can't, Sir,” she said and moved closer to him with an angry look on her face. She raised her hand to slap him but the guards surrounded him with a fierce look on their faces. “If I were you, I would drop my hand and leave in shame.”“How dare you raise my hand before our master?” One of the guards asked in a cold tone and she arched her eyebrows. “Master?” She asked with a confused look. “Why are you surprised? Don't you know?” He asked, playing along. The bodyguard was taking the play further than he thought and he enjoyed it. “
