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. “
“Welcome, Adrian,” the General welcomed him warmly and he cocked his eyebrows. “Huh?” Adrian looked up with a surprised look on his face. He wasn't expecting the man to utter such a statement considering how their last encounter was. The man was cold and indifferent to him because of his wife. He doubted him and even threatened to kill him if anything happened to his beloved wife. “What's the problem?” The General asked with confusion and he shook his head negatively. “Good afternoon, General. Hope you aren't angry I came late,” he said in a polite tone. “Why should I be? I am not. Stop being polite,” the man said and he smirked discreetly. It seemed the man was seeing some improvement in the condition of his wife hence why he was happy. “May I know the reason why you called a convoy to look for me after sending me out of your house?” Adrian asked and the General shook his head. “You should forget about the past and move on with the present. I was only concerned about the wel
“Good. I love your action, Sir,” Adrian commented and the man scoffed. “Just mention it and stop wasting my time. You don't know how precious my wife is to me,” he said as he brought out his phone. Adrian called out his account details to him and the man typed it on his phone.“Done,” the man said and returned the phone to his pocket. “I'll pay the rest once you're done treating my wife. You should know that if anything happens to my wife, I won't hesitate to cut your head off,” the man said warningly and he smiled. “I thought we were over this, General,” he said and shook his head with a sigh. “Wow. That's fast,” Adrian said as his phone binged with an alert of 5 million dollars. He breathed out in relief and a bright smile broke out on his face. For the first time, he received a credit alert of more than a million dollars. Who could have believed he would receive such a hefty amount of money after his wife cheated on him and chased him out of the house?He was still going to
Matilda turned to Adrian with a bright smile beaming on her face. “Thank you, Sir,” she said respectfully and bowed her head slightly. “You don't need to be polite, ma'am. I'm his doing my work,” Adrian replied and she said. “I still have to thank you. I would probably be dead by now if you hadn't intervened and helped me. I owe you one,” she said and he smiled. “You don't owe me one, ma'am. Your husband has already paid for my job,” he said and she shrugged. “That's my husband's treat and not mine. And don't try to reject mine when I give it to you,” she said and he nodded his head. “Of course, I won't. Who am I to reject your offer?” He asked and bowed his head. “How are you, dear?” The General asked in a concerned tone as he pulled his wife into his arms. She smiled as she lay against his broad chest. She missed the scent and warmth of his arms. She was bedridden and couldn't remember all those things. She would have died and wouldn't have a chance to be in his arms again
Adrian stopped on his track and stared at her with a surprised and confused look on his face. Huh? He asked, unable to fathom why someone of her caliber would ask him out for dinner. “Yes, you heard me. I want you to eat dinner with us,” she said and he arched her eyebrows.He couldn't believe that the wife of the General could offer him dinner. But for what? Why would she do such a thing? Her husband had already paid for his service. Not only did she offer him lunch but she politely asked him not in a way he thought rich people do. It seemed he had a wrong idea of them. He thought all rich people were the same arrogant and proud individuals. It seems he has to change his perspective. “I’m sorry. I won't take that offer.”“I appreciate your help,” he said and bowed his head slightly then turned to the exit. “Will you really turn down my offer?” She asked in a calm tone and he sighed deeply then turned to her. “I don't know why you're doing this. I bet you're grateful that I sav
“Huh?” He gasped out in shock and choked on the wine he was drinking. “What's the problem?” The General asked and handed him a bottle of water. He gulped it down and breathed out in relief then dropped the bottle of water on the table. “What did you just say, Sir?” He asked and the man looked away. “Why did you look shocked? Isn't my daughter good enough for you?” The man asked again and Matilda smiled. It seemed as though they planned it. “Dad!” Chloe complained and glared at her father, who paid no attention to her. “What's the problem?” The man asleep Adrian, who remained silent. His expression was straight and blank. It was hard to read through his expression. None of them could tell what they were saying. “Why did you look tense? You shouldn't because I was only joking with me,” the man said and chuckled to ease the pressure that overwhelmed the atmosphere. “Better be,” he took a cold breath and replied. As much as he wanted to believe it was a joke, he knew there was
“Too busy, huh? It seems you've grown more wings, Edward,” Mr. Daniel said in an angry tone and ruffled his hair with a frustrated look on his face. He kicked the table beside him and the glass on it fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. He clenched his fist with an angry look on his face and bit his lips until he almost bled. He couldn't believe that Adrian could turn him down so easily. It later dawned on him that it was because he claimed he was busy earlier when Adrian tried to talk to him that was why he turned him down too. But he shouldn't have done that especially now that he had promised to cure the General's wife. “What is he going to tell the General when he calls?” He asked himself but he couldn't get an answer to it. As much as he hated to admit it, he knew Adrian was more knowledgeable in the medical field. And he couldn't afford to ruin his reputation before the general. What is he going to do? Maybe it was a bad idea to claim the credit that was meant fo
“Transfer unsuccessful?” He asked with a surprised and confused look on his face. “Stop feigning ignorance, you fool,” she cursed at him and threw his ATM card at him. He shook his head and caught it midway before it could get to the ground and crash. “You have to be patient with me. I think there's a mix-up somewhere. It has to be. There's a lot of money in my account and…” she interrupted him before he could complete his statement.“That's enough. I have heard enough from you,” she said in a cold tone and he kept quiet. He didn't bother to argue with her because he knew that he was at fault. “I should have known that you're part of those beggars, who used to come here to beg for alms,” she said and rolled her eyes at her. “I wonder how you manage to get through the security with this appearance of yours,” she said and scoffed then reached out to the telephone on the table. “Don't make any calls. It's an internal error, probably network. I'm certain. There's more than enough i
