“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
He arrived at the bank and as usual, it was crowded with a lot of people who were there to either withdraw or lay one complaint or the other concerning their account.His case was no different. He was there to redeem his bonus and find out why his last few transactions weren't successful. He had tried to withdraw in several banks before coming here but the transaction kept failing so it made him wonder whether it was a fake alert he received from the General. He knew that wasn't possible considering how wealthy and influential the man was. He wouldn't want his reputation to be tarnished because of such an amount of money. He sat down on a chair behind some people who had been there before. He dropped the crutches on the floor and began to stroke his chin as he waited patiently for his time. Shortly, he was called upon after the customer care had attended to most of them. He reached out to the crutches on the floor and left the queue then entered the bank. “Good morning, sir. How
“You think I can't reject it?” Mr. Daniel asked with disbelief. He felt insulted by Smith's statement. Although he was selfish and greedy, he didn't like the way Adrian rubbed it on his face. How could he talk to him in such a deteriorating manner?“Am I wrong?” Adrian asked in a cold tone. “Yes. You're right, Mr. Adrian. I would have agreed to your terms but because of what you said, I don't think I'll be able to partner with you again,” Mr. Daniel said and looked away. “Are you sure of what you're saying?” Adrian asked and Mr. Daniel scoffed. “Of course. You're the one who needs my help anyway,” he said and scoffed. “That's fine. I'll hang the call then but I hope you don't regret your action later,” he said and Mr. Daniel looked up instantly. His eyes widened in shock and his body shuddered in fear when he remembered what the General said to him yesterday. The General told him to be careful around Adrian and should always try to help him in any way he can. What if Adrian w
“Why are you sending her inside?” He asked in a cold tone. “That’s because she shouldn't be here,” the General responded in a cold tone and Chloe stamped her feet on the floor before leaving for her room. “It seems she knows something about the local doctor we're talking about,” Martin said and the General turned to the doctor with a cold look on his face. “Don’t make me angry, Martin. I thought I told you there's no such local doctor here. Forget I called you yesterday,” he said and the man turned to him with a cold look on his face. “Okay, that's fine, General. I hope you're telling the truth because I can't tell what will happen if it's false,” Martin said in a cold tone. “Are you threatening me?” The General asked in a cold tone. “No, I dare not but I'm sure you know how the Dark Orb works,” Martin said. “Have a nice day, General,” Martin bowed his head and walked out of the house with a cold look on his face. “Let's go,” he turned to the men in black suits behind him. Th
“You got a hundred and fifty bucks for that expensive herb. How could you give it to him at such a cheap rate, huh?” Mr. Daniel asked with an angry tone and Adrian scoffed then looked away. “I wonder why you're angry. Aren't you aware this is how I work, huh?” He asked in a cold tone and Daniel scoffed. “I know but that's not good at all. The medicine was worth over 500 bucks and you gave it to him like that,” Mr. Daniel ranted and he shrugged. “That's because I believe he'll be grateful and send something. He's rich so you should worry less. And besides, I bought this company just to save lives, not to extort money from them,” he said in a cold tone. “I don't care. And how could you be so sure that he'll be grateful, huh?” Daniel asked and he looked away. “That's left to him to decide. And if he doesn't return it then I'll pay with my money. Is that okay with you?” He asked and Daniel took a deep breath. He knew that Adrian was a hard nut to crack and he hated it. As much as he
“Huh?” He asked, pretending as though he didn't understand what she meant. “Don't try to pretend. You didn't want to answer my call or you hesitated before you answered it,” she said and he took a deep breath. “I'm not surprised that you found out. You're the General's daughter anyway,” he said and she smiled proudly. “But why didn't you pick it up earlier? Are you avoiding me?” She asked and he shook his head quickly. “No. I dare not. Who am I?” He asked and chuckled. “Whatever,” she said and rolled her eyes. “You saw my message, right? I called because of that. What do you say about it? Will you like to accompany the party, Mr. Adrian?” She asked. “Think about it. But I don't take no for an answer. And it's tomorrow,” she said and he scratched his head. “Tomorrow? Isn't that too early? I wasn't aware…” she interrupted him before he could complete his statement. “Maybe you would have known if you'd been checking your messages,” she said and he sighed. “That's right,” he res
“Yes. It's special. And I would appreciate it if you could…” Daniel interrupted him before he could complete his statement. “I understand but who's going to run the business? You don't expect me to take up your job, right?” Daniel asked and he took a deep breath. “It's you. Please cover up for me. And besides, you said you aren't going anywhere today,” he said in a cold tone. “Yes, you're right. I'm not going anywhere but that doesn't mean that you should hand me over to the shop. And besides, do I look like an experienced doctor to you?” Daniel asked and he scoffed. “So you acknowledge me as a doctor. That's quite generous of you, Mr. Daniel,” Adrian smiled and looked away.“Don't be this cold. Try to help. I have written the medicine you could give to any patient with any illness so don't try to wither away,” he said in a cold tone and Mr. Daniel nodded his head hesitantly. “Okay, fine. I'll do it. So can you leave and stop disturbing me?” Mr. Daniel asked and he scoffed. “Tha
“We’re there, ma'am,” they looked up as the chauffeur spoke up, interrupting their conversation. “Wow. So fast,” Chloe commented and Adrian nodded his head. He reached out to his crutches and held them closely as the bodyguard came out of their cars and opened the limousine car. Chloe placed her hand around Adrian's waist and supported him out of the car so he wouldn't miss his step and fall on the floor. He turned to her with a bright smile beaming on her face. “Thanks,” he said and she nodded. She had stopped him from addressing her as ma'am since he was older than her and they'd become closer than before. “Where is your invitation…” the guard at the gateway swallowed hard and lowered his head in fright as his gaze landed on Chloe. “Invitation card? This is it,” Chloe chuckled and stretched the card at him even though she knew she didn't have to. “I'm sorry for bothering you. Pardon my manners, ma'am,” the security guard said and she nodded her head. “Follow me,” she said an
