Adrian's first day at Echelon started out just fine.

He rejected Edward’s offer of a ride, thinking the staff might find it suspicious for an intern to arrive in an expensive car.

He took a cab to work, dressed in one of the new clothes Royal Garbs delivered.

    Management was not one of Geoffrey's strengths.Vale Industries, once made up of fourteen subsidiaries, was now down to three.The rest had been sold, some barely worth the price they fetched.What remained was nothing but a hollow name.Shareholders had pulled out because of how things were going, and Helena knew if drastic measures were not taken soon, they might end up destitute.Helena had not realised it before, but her eyes were open now.Adrian was a perfect opportunity sent to save them, and she was not letting him go.<

    “Can you believe this? How did he get that lucky?” Helena's tone was contemplative as she stirred her tea. Her gaze was glued to the screen where the reporter was delivering the breaking news. On the screen, the image of Adrian standing tall with the God of War’s arm around him was clear for all to see.

    Unspoken questions filled the hall as all eyes turned to the general.Yet, no one dared speak under the watch of the soldiers surrounding Major General Jenkins. The general stayed silent like he had no idea what Adrian had just said. When Richard gave him a direct questioning look, Charles merely shrugged.An act that revealed nothing and yet said everything.Patricia got her own interpretation from that and turned back to Adrian. “Shameless! That is what you are. I am so relieved you are no longer my disgrace. This is why you can never compare to Daniel. He would never discard his blood, just to cling to a m

He must have thought of falling back on her name after ditching the Cross's name. As if she would even claim a…“You don't have to worry, Ms Lenning. The feeling is mutual.”"Ms Lenning?
