Adrian was glad he didn't bother trying to convince him that morning to let the car drop Adrian at the cab junction. Apart from the probability of anyone from work spotting him getting out of the COO's car, he had wanted the exercise too.

“Sir, did you…?”“Hear you? Yes. You are the department's manager, right?”“Yes, sir," Henry said eagerly.“I gave you a task. You handed it to an intern?”The anger on Edward's face wasn't what Henry expected to be directed at him. “No, sir. He… forced me.”“An intern forced you," Edward echoed.“With his family background, sir," Henry said anxiously now. “He's the God of War's newly adopted son, sir. He threatened to ruin the company. I was just trying to protect the company, sir.”

“Mr Smith will see you now.” Henry immediately stood from the waiting room and followed the assistant. His gaze travelled up her smooth legs to her firm buttocks encased in a tight-fitting pencil skirt. Arousal stirred in him but he reluctantly pulled his gaze away. Scott had promised him so much more than this. When he successfully gets that bastard out of the company, everyone he needed would be his for the taking. “He is here, sir.&rdqu

A dinner invitation. Adrian wondered how he had got involved with another family’s drama when he had enough on his plate already.A promise. An impulsive promise made to his fake fiancée had got him into this.Well, he could have declined the invitation. But there had been something in her tone. He knew that tone. A proud woman’s unspoken plea.Dahlia had been like that.

Seraphina supposed her tiredness must have contributed to her not seeing the scheme so fast.“This was never about GLENCo, was it? You just want to sink your claws into Adrian. Parade him around like your prized collection?”“Hey, don't talk to your mother like that!” Geoffrey bellowed.Seraphina's low tone was just as heated as she said, “She is not my mother.”Helena immediately intervened before her husband messed things up. Of course, she didn't want to be acknowledged as the brat's mother. The plan had to work out.Her v

Seraphina had thought they would surely leave her be now.They got their moment of glory at the Jenkins' event, so maybe they would keep their claws off her? She was wrong.As she walked in that afternoon after a long day of negotiations and paint smell tingling in her nose, exhaustion pressed down on her.Winning back her mother’s legacy was exhilarating, but it was draining. All she wanted was to take a shower, rest for a while, and then get back on the phone. She was trying to get new transport additions. It hadn't been exactly easy, but she was far from backing down.Then she walked through the door and found Helena decked from head to toe in finery. Vivian was almost identical in her lavish wear. Seraphina noticed there had been some additions to their jewellery since the Jenkins event. She didn't care how they got it as long as it didn't affect her.But the twin smirks they wore as their gazes raked over her disdainfully, while Geoffrey buried his nose in a glossy magazi

The weavers are connecting the dots. You said to inform you the moment we get anything. Hope surged within Adrian, but he tamped the excitement down.Expectation always came with a cost.Better to wait than hope too soon.“Let me know the moment you confirm,” he hurriedly typed back. “Send me the confirmed details immediately.”Despite his conscious effort to calm down, his feet quickened towards the door, and he almost ran into someone.“Watch where you are going, young master,” Henry sneered at the title as he tried not to gape jealously at Adrian's custom wear.He knew that shirt brand. The kind he could only dream of.The trousers. One of a kind.Annoyed by the way Henry blocked the doorway while covetously giving him a once-over, Adrian's voice came out light, edged with cold.“Miss me, manager?”Henry's face coloured as he realised he wasn't discreet after all.“Why would I…?”“Because you came all the way here when we have no business this morning?” Adrian cut in sharply.The
