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
Adam got into his office, a large smirk on his lips. He'd loved the look on Roberto's face when Perry was roasting him with words! Finally, that rascal has met his match. "Now, I'm really glad I didn't let her go so easily. At least we get someone to check my cousin once in a while!"He relaxed on his seat to begin his work. Garrett and Sean had been shocked to hear Perry speaking so cruelly. Guess she didn't have the hide her true self just to please anyone again. Adam was working on a few new project presentations to be discussed at the next board meeting. When his accountant walked in with a brown envelope. "Hello, Adam."They stood to exchange handshakes. "What's the latest update?" Adam asked, usherinv him to a seat. "It's a lot, Mr Carson." the man handed Adam the finishes reports of the auditing they'd spent sleepless nights on. "To be candid, I'm not too surprised. I know how far my cousin can go just to get what he wants!""But this is bad for a vice president, don't yo
In the hospital, Adam paced the halls his nerves going stack with worry. "Get ready to spend the rest of your life in jail if as much as any harm comes to that man!" He slammed at Max who was seated at the waiting area, having a blank expression. His friends had jilted him when Adam kept threatening all of them, and left him to his fate. Suddenly a blonde woman rushed into grab Adams shirt. "Please what happened to my husband? Why did he faint and go unconscious?" How wife kept screaming. Adam faced Max angrily, not wanting to reveal the truth to the woman yet, she might tear him part and prove how crazy she was. "Please calm down, ma'am. The Doctors are trying their best revive him already!"Mitchell paced the hall, sobbing aloud and crying. "I heard from some company staffs that he was pushed by a colleague! I'll tear that person part for daring to touch my husband!?"Her words sent a shiver of fear down Max spine and a smile of happiness up Adam's face. He didn't even need to
Jackson relaxed back on his seat, taking in the view of everyone present here. Sabrina and Skylar had also been invites from the department of Sales to watch the panel. He was at the meeting of the board of directors and everyone was already seated, waiting for the main actor of today's movie to come in. "Do you to explain why you're late on the last day of your panel hearing?" Ernestine slammed at him immediately he walked in. Sean's eyes was swollen red and he swayed as he walked in. "You're all going to sack me anyways, what's the use?""This man is drunk!" Somebody shouted at the table. "How dare you come in here to disrespect us like this? What do you take us for?""Start the meeting already, I don't have time." Sean rebuffed them. "Man, what's wrong with you?" Roberto and Garrett rushed to help him from tumbling to the floor. "Let go of me you betrayer, after all what we've been through together, you have decided to jilt me, it's fine!" Sean pushed Roberto's hands away and
Adam put on his headphones, adjusting the vol of his speakers. "Can you hear me now?" He asked the man on the other side of the video call. "Yea. Loud and clear." Philip replied with a smile. "It's so good to see you again, pal. How have you been?""All well and good." Adam replied. "And your girlfriend?" Philip chuckled. "I don't have a girlfriend, sir. I'm divorced and-" Adam was interrupted by his low laughter. "I was referring to Cleo. Hope she hasn't gotten herself killed yet?" His face turned grim. "That's the issue, Philip. She's so stubborn that no matter what I say, she never listens!" Adam sighed angrily. "She keep risking her life I keep warning her and she keep brushing me off.""Some people are just wired to love danger and adrenaline rush." Philip shrugged. "It reminds me of her father back in the day, the man was the most stubborn person I've ever met in this life, he literally wouldn't spend a day without getting himself in danger!"Adam listened as the man earne
Cleo was out of the house before Adam knew it and no matter how many times he tried to tell her name, she didn't budge. "There she goes again." He sighed, falling down to rest on the sofa. When will he even have rest? From one issue to another. Adam went in to see his sister, she was happy playing video game with Holton. Now that Cleo was no longer around, she always hung around him.And he had automatically become her bodyguard. Adam returned to the sitting room, moving around carefully. He had been having an urge to inspect the house and see what places need furnishings and extra security. That night Cleo snuck in was still fresh in his memory. If any person that means harm try to come in that way, they were totally doomed! He took his time to inspect all locks, windows, doors and even the shelves which could harbour someone with evil intentions. Adam as thrown out of his reverie by a loud knock on the door. He opened it to reveal half a dozen muscular men, all dressed in bl
The day for the meeting finally dawned. Adam calmly made his way in, despite the cruel looks from Roberto and his friends.Everyone was already seated as usual, except the members of both teams of the police. "We're here today to have a final honest review of the report submitted by Roberto to the Colorado Police Force in the past!""For fuck's sake, how many times do we intend to review that document?" Robert's voice was the loudest with a shriek. Today was the first time he looked genuinely pissed off. "Well, it would do you good to keep your mouth shut at this point!" Ernestine tried to admonish him but he unleashed a verbal attack that shocked everyone present. "What's wrong with you, Robert? Why are you being so vile?" Others tried to talk to him, but he kept on baring his fangs in anger. "Welcoming our new guests for today," Adam wasn't too bother about his cousin tantrums. "Let's all welcome the FBI financial team over, including the deputy Insepector of Police FBI, Mr Ph
"What did you just say?" Charles burst out laughing. "Look at the pot calling kettle black!""And what exactly are you trying to say? Do you think everyone is as callous and cruel as you are?" Philip shot back at him. They were already getting caught in their own works again, so Adam had to step in to calm the man down. "You can argue to your hearts content later, we're here to prove them wrong and show the world what a mess the Colorado Police Force has become!" Adam whispered furiously to him. Philip finally had to urge to calm down, seeing Charles face was just a remainder to all the pain he and Felix endured in the past. It was Charles that went ahead back then to heap lies upon lies in the report that sent Felix out of Colorado back to his fathers home town where he got into an accident and his wife died! It was all Charles fault! Philip took in a large breath to calm himself down. Fighting with words isn't as much of a flex as it looks. "Well, as I was saying gentlemen. A
