"So it seems," Edward responded.“Keep an eye on him," Adrian stated. “I will be busy most of today. If anything comes up, let me know.”He said before leaving that morning.Deciding to use the bike one last time before storing it for occasional use, he headed towards Viremont Avenue.Viremont Avenue was the renowned financial centre in Aurion.Renowned banks, insurance companies and brokers all vied for space and attention of the elites in the pristine, high-rise buildings that dominated the place.The bank Adrian had his account with formerly was the People's Bank, one of the struggling banks at the edge of Viremont, trying so hard to catch up with giants like

The guard almost pissed his pants at that.He was scared he had foolishly insulted a VIP.“What…? Miss, uhm… You know him, ma?”Twirling her Ray-Ban glasses, Whitmore's smile grew brighter as she said, “Of course. We go…way back. Wouldn't you say so, Mister Cross?”“Miss Monroe.” Adrian responded with a tilt of his head. “If you will excuse me, I have business in the bank.”He took a step forward and Whitmore's smile vanished.

“How dare you talk to Miss Whitmore that way, you idiot? Are you saying the executive director of the bank does not know what she's saying?”Executive director? Well, if this is how unprofessional this bank has gotten, Adrian was definitely taking his business away.Whitmore's benevolent smile was back on her face as she said, “You know what? I will humour him. Get Frank here.”For a moment, Adrian wondered if he should get Edward over too.But then he dismissed the thought. He did not need to have Edward here to put these people in their places.

Chapter 64
Nancy Rouarke, branch manager of the People's Bank, had no intention of leaving.Not until she fulfilled her mission.She had taken that route after a wasted business lunch, trying to convince a start-up boss to bank with them.Zenox always seemed to win, and that made her teeth grit as she thought about how they could survive against the high-end banks.When she first saw the crowd in front of Zenox, her mood soured even more."Cutthroats," she muttered and kept walking. Then she heard the man’s statement about taking his business elsewhere.Like a shark scenting blood, she dived straight towards Adrian, the thrill of seiz

Even Mark looked at the amount in their system as if to be sure his memory had not failed him.“Sir, you only have a little over two billion dollars here with us. Are you mistaken?” he asked cautiously.“What? He has two billion dollars with Zenox already? Who is this man?”That was the same question Nancy also wanted to ask as she stylishly looked at Manager Mark's tablet.True enough, there was over two billion in this man's account.Adrian Cross.She almost dropped her laptop.She knew the Cross fami

In People's Bank, Adrian was treated like royalty.Though the bank was plainer and not as grand as Zenox's, he loved the ambiance.The workers seemed genuinely happy to be working there.Everyone was beaming from ear to ear as they all gathered on the first floor to welcome him with confetti and celebratory wine.He did not know how Nancy had managed it without him noticing, but she seemed to have sent a signal ahead.So, the welcome party swung into action as soon as they stepped through the door.Looking around, Adrian supposed it was a good place to start building his portfolio.So, he asked her, “Get the owner to come in. I w

To Adrian's surprise, they were still waiting outside when he got there.Well.“You are welcome, sir,” A valet showed up even before Adrian was fully out of his car.The man was more sharply dressed than the directors of some companies.The luxury in his dressing depicted the opulence of the Victorian-era-inspired architecture that made the general's home.If it was another time, Adrian would have probably enjoyed the masterpiece of carved roof, turrets, and brick and glass walls that looked like they were from another dimension.Instead, he simply handed his key to the valet and headed to the eyes pinned on him.“What's this?” Richard asked simply, his eyes on the expensive car behind Adrian.Patricia's sneer was on Adrian's dressing, as she had never seen him look that presentable before.She had a sharp eye for luxury and was furious that Adrian dared to show off by wearing things that were more expensive than Daniel's.“Just a few days after leaving home and you forgot yourself? Is

“Miss Jenkins, I hope my son has not offended you in…”“Of course he must have done something,” Patricia interrupted Richard's question. “Clearly, he's a jinx who must cause trouble everywhere. Whatever he has done, Miss Jenkins, we have no part in…”Caroline's displeasure was clear as she said, “What are you talking about? Trouble? Not this one. He owes me a game, that's all.”Richard was relieved at that. He nodded.Patricia’s fake smile was immediately on display as she said, “Oh, that's it? For a moment, I thought my silly boy had offended you. A game, you say. You know, Daniel here is a master at…”“Come with me, Adrian.” C

Caroline's smile was catty as she responded, “Then you will seek her out like a proper fiancé should.”What? None of that was in his favour.“Hey, how is that a fair bet?!” he complained.Caroline's laugh echoed in the alcove as she said, “Rule of the land. You have to comply, Cross.”Then she turned and shot her arrow straight through the centre.Bullseye.The Cross family could clearly hear the laughter and sounds coming from the alcove.While they sat tense and unmoving under the watchful eyes of the standing soldiers

His gaze hardened when he noticed the gown and pricey shoes beneath the apron and cap.“Even maids here wear designer clothes? What a stupid old man.” He thought as he walked silently behind her.The shift in the air and his perfume made her pause.Her smile faded as she began to straighten.Thwack!Daniel landed a hard smack on her butt.Her eyes widened as she turned around in outrage.She saw her man behind her and shouted, “How dare you touch me? Do you know who…?"Daniel grabbed her, forcing her around as he pressed himself against her.
