After their shopping that night, Abigail turned to Adolphus, handing the bags to him. “Here, they're yours. Consider this my graduation gift to you." With a bright smile on his face, Adolphus collected the bags from her and muttered. "Thank you so much, Abigail. I'm really grateful for these.”“You're welcome. I'd have gotten more for you. Unfortunately, I don't have enough money so you must make do with these ones.”“These are more than enough, Abigail. You have no idea how much this means to me.” Adolphus replied, reaching out to hold her hands.The couple walked out of the place hand in hand until Abigail thought of something and turned to Adolphus, inquiring. "Why don't you go and return this one from where you borrowed it. You can just put on one of the clothes I bought for you.”Her suggestion got Adolphus pale, and he swallowed hard while looking for the right word to reply to her with. Maybe it was time for his lies to catch up with him.What excuse was he going to give to he

“I'm getting ready, Dad. Although I'm a little nervous and terrified." Adolphus confessed, taking a sip from his coffee.He heard a small laughter escape his father's lips before the man muttered. "You should be terrified because taking over the McAllen empire is no joke.”"There's a lot of work that needs to be done. And remember, you're only allowed to grow it better than it already is. Your job is to expand it and not to run it down." Adolphus felt a lump in his throat as he listened to his father's words. It wasn't helpful at all.Those words were proof that his father expected better from him.He wouldn't just bear the McAllen name in mere words. He had to prove it by working harder to make the McAllen empire greater than it already is.“Ok, Dad." Adolphus managed to mutter, placing his cup back on the table.He didn't know what else to say to his father. All he knew was that he'd do his best.There was silence between both of them, and Adolphus thought that his father had hung

"I don't work for you, Mrs. McAllen, so you don't have the right to fire me. The only one with that right is Mr. Nicolas McAllen.” Bradley replied back without fear, leaving her extremely furious.He wasn't someone to cower before Ursula's intimidating and threatening words. He just respected her as the boss's wife. Bradley knew his worth and was certain that Nicolas would never fire him because his wife asked him to do so.“The boss asked me to bring his son to the office today. That's what I'm doing. So if you have any problems with that, just confront your husband instead of stopping me from doing my job." “Ah!" “What!" The guards exclaimed when they heard those words, their eyes widened and immediately darted towards Adolphus who had been silent all along.The one who was just called the boss's son.They had a lot of questions in their hearts but didn't utter a word. They only kept gaping at each other with questioning glances and with their mouths open."Guards, take him away f

As he addressed the executive, Adolphus felt so bold. A boldness he didn't know he had.He discussed briefly with them and surprisingly, they were corporating and the conversation was flowing well.Only those two men opposed him in a few circumstances. The men who had earlier questioned his capability.Adolphus replied politely to everyone who asked him a question. All he needed was their corporation and they promised to give it to him. He also needed to do a great job in order to earn their trust.Less than an hour later, the meeting was finished and Adolphus went to start his job as the CEO. His father's office was handed over to him while Nicolas took over a different office as the Chairman of McAllen corporation.He had no intention of relaxing and leaving all the work for Adolphus.His job was not yet done, especially as Adolphus was still a newbie.Inside the luxury office that had become his own, Adolphus took in a deep sigh and went to sit on the swivel chair, his bright face

Adolphus thought about Bradley's words and decided to listen to him.He was right. What Abigail needed at that time was to be on her own without him bothering her.She needs to get used to learning the truth about Adolphus.It was still looking like a dream as she made her way home that night.While Bradley drove Adolphus home, Abigail's parents were in their sitting room, totally in awe about the news they watched. The news about Adolphus being the son of Nicolas McAllen.They didn't believe it at first, but the news was all over various TV channels.In fact, every television station was talking about him and there was no way they'd all be lying.For that reason, they had no other choice but to believe the news.Brett turned to her husband whose mouth was open in shock. The shock of the news they'd received.“Am I the only one who saw the news?" She muttered the question and her husband shook his head a few times.“No, I saw it too." Benson replied back to her, their eyes fixed on ea
