Adam ignored Sean's question, he was speaking with men with accurate reasoning. "I understand there is a cogent reason why Mr Richard won't divulge the truth, but let's be considerate.""That's enough." Thomas got up and began the voting process. "We came up with 2 options. We either lay him off or demote him to a normal staff at the department of Marketing.""Ohhh, either option is fine by me!" Max beamed aloud. "Please lets cast our votes now!" Thomas said as the secretary passed the box around. Adam held his breath as the votes were counted. When Thomas turned to announce the results, he almost wanted to place a call to his grandfather. Even though Richard was strongly against it when he suggested it earlier. He was sure if Senior Walters steps in, they might reconsider! "Votes for Richard to be laid off amounted to 5. Votes that Richard be demoted amounted to-""Cut to the chase already, old man!" Roberto snapped impatiently. "6." Thomas completed. "So we've decided that he w
"How can Walters Corporations help you today, Miss?" Adam faced Daisy squarely after Roberto managed to get Seraphina out before the security arrived. "How do you think you can help me?" Daisy winked. "I want you to help me." She traced her collarbone seductively. "Miss Davidson." Adam drawled coldly. "You're talking in parables, can you go straight to the point?""You want it direct?" She laughed, getting up and making her way slowly to sit on the desk. "I know your relationship with that woman has hit rock bottom, I'm only here to help you." she touched his hand gently. "Help me? How?" Adam played dumb. Daisy bent to whisper. "In ways you can't even imagine. I've fantasized about all the things I would love to do to you!"Adam grabbed her hands to stop her. "Miss Davidson, you're from a wealthy family and you possibly can have any man you want, why me?""Oh, you wanna know why?" She giggled. "You're handsome, with a sexy body! You're rich, intelligent, creative and most of all, a
Seraphina was sobbing. "I pleaded with you to come stand in with me as my husband, but you refused. Now I have become that talk of the show!""A mother of one of those poisoned children was here, she accused me of lying and now they're going to sue me to court!" Seraphina cried painfully. "People are gossiping that you dumped me, contrary to when I bragged that you were my husband and-"Adam disconnected the call when he got tired of her rambling. His phone blew up with calls again. "What's her problem?" He hissed, placing the phone on DND immediately. "Is everything fine, sir?" His friend had to ask. "You can take a break from the auditing until you're in the right dram of mind."With that, Adam headed to the cabinet to pull out a bottle of alcohol. Today was slightly rough, he just needed something to clear his head. Adam picked up his phone to see a notification of a Staff Seminar holding tomorrow. Ernestine decided they holding a new training for all the staffs to open their
"We're going to ask you this question one last time, Mr Carson. Did you or did you not go into Miss Elsa's office when you excused yourself earlier?" Mr Ernestine asked. Adam gritted his teeth angrily. It was a trap. He should have known all along. "Yes. I did visit her office, but-""That's all we need to hear." Roberto interrupted him from behind. "Please call the head security to conduct a search on him!""You must be out of your mind, Roberto!" Adam hissed angrily. "I visited her office, doesn't mean I stole the I-Pad in her bag. What do you take me for?" "If you're as innocent as you say you are, let them search you to prove beyond reasonable doubt!" Garrett spoke up, sending glares of dagger at him. Adam gritted. "On one condition, after all this you apologize publicly for slandering me!"The security men arrived to search through his clothes. "Come on, why would I hide an I-Pad in my clothes?" Adam didn't understand what string Roberto was trying to pull. "What about his br
In the cell, Adam paced angrily, not knowing what to do. He had tried calling Cleo several times but she just wasn't picking her calls. He should have known! He should have guessed it was all a trap! "Mr Ryder, someone is here to grant you out on bail." An officer announced as he unlocked the cell and led Adam to the waiting room. "What happens, son? I was in my office when I heard you have been arrested!" Richard was clearly panicking. "Where's your phone?" was the first question Adam asked. Richard paled, quickly searching through his pockets. "That's right, it has been missing for a while now.""It was all a set up." Adam took his seat, explaining all want happened. "And now my reputation has been completely marred in front of the while company!" He slammed angrily on the table. "I don't care, but someone must pay for this!""Calm down, so. Let's get you out of here first, then we decide our next line of action." Richard proceeded to sign the bail form, leading him to his car
“Don’t tell me you’re delaying his punishment?” Roberto nudged Jake who was quietly massaging his cheeks.“Get him up!” Jake commanded, his gaze hardened.The guards pulled Adam up on his feet, as they looked him up and down. “Isn’t this the good for nothing that won the scholarship last year?” Gerald gasped.“Of course! How else could a haggard looking guy afford to attend West-Borough International College?” Daisy scoffed derisively at him.“I don’t want that good for nothing near me, take him out and beat the crap out of him!” Jake ordered.“Let me go!” Adam screamed, trying to struggle against the guards’ iron grips.Daisy pulled April out of the way and slapped Adam again. “What do you think you’re doing?” That moment, she conveyed all the hatred she had for him into his eyes.Adam knew Daisy saw him as a stumbling block for April as he was always the one preventing her from going fully astray. Once, Daisy offered him a substantial amount of money to leave her alone, but he’d refu
Adam walked into the restaurant, removing his shades when he got to the same reservation he got last time. “There you are, not me thinking I’m about to get stood up again.”Philip was a tall, huge man with a round face and long well-kept beards. His eyes twinkled as they landed on Adam.“Hey, buddy!” He pulled Adam into an embrace. “Its so nice to see you again after all these years!”“How can you not remember me, a major component of your childhood years? I was your father’s best friend and your god father!”Adam tried his best, but he couldn’t seem to recall anything about the man, so he just exchanged a quiet handshake and pulled out a seat.“Nice to see you’re all grown up now.” Philip laughed, waving a waiter over. “What would you like to have? I remember you always loved burgers back then.”Adam frowned. “Well, I can only recall hating burgers.”“Oh, that’s not true?” Philip laughed. “Your father and I were one of the main people that introduced you to burgers!”Adam kept quiet
Outside the restaurant, Adam caught gazes with Gerald and Cleo again, right before he got into the car with Philip. "Do you care explaining what is going on right now? I'm totally lost!"Adam stared at the man without a word. He wasn't still fully sure if he could trust him, and there's no way he could place his fathers life at risk like that. "My father is still alive." Adam shocked himself by revealing the truth."And Gerald has tried to hurt him twice on a row. The last time, he delivered a water-read letter warning me to atay away from my fathers company!""Whoa..." Philip listened as Adam summarized the terrors he'd been experiencing for him. "I thought Felix was dead, oh my god. Why didn't Richard tell me?""That's exactly my question!" Adam snapped. "You guys are my father's friends, why aren't you working together to find the culprit, why are you hiding things from each other?"Philips face turned grim at the mention of that. "There are a lot of things you don't know boy."T
