Test her for me.

Chapter 6.

Test her for me.

Lincoln's POV.

I watched silently as the lady I hit scurried away. "Hmm! So interesting." I thought.

"Sir, what should we do with her?" One of my guards questioned me.

I stared at the cheque with me and chuckled coldly, no one had ever rejected my generosity before, not like I love being generous in the first place. A part of me hated the fact that she rejected my money and another part liked it, she was proving to be different, feisty.

"Leave her for now til I come up with an idea, let her feel like she has won, allow her to rock the crown for now til I'm ready to break her." I replied to my guard coldly and squeezed the cheque in my hand before trashing it, "But I would like to know everything about her." I completed my speech and began to leave the hospital with the guards trailing behind me.

"Okay, sir." The guard I was speaking with answered.

"Adrian," I muttered out her name, tasting the name on my tongue, the name was such a nice name for a pretty lady like her. "Adrian," I muttered it again, hmm. I entered my car and sighed.

"Where to sir?" My driver questioned.

"Just take me home. Today is already messy." I told him. He nodded before zooming the car out of the hospital's compound.

I was rushing to a cafeteria where I was to meet an old friend to talk about some important businesses and that was when we hit Adrian with the car. Even though I wasn't the one driving, I can't blame my driver because I was pestering him to drive faster and I made him lose concentration, resulting in the minor accident, if not, he would have been shedding tears by now, I hate to be begged for mercy, I am not so merciful and I always take up my blames and pay for it.

I am Lincoln Lime, 32 years of age and I am proud to say that I am a very successful businessman and I love money. That is why my money cannot mistakenly be with someone else without any reason and that lady dared to refuse it.

I scoffed when I remembered the way she rejected it, she had pointed it out clearly to me that I should give the money to someone else that needed it more like the money was worthless. I even gave her the offer to name a price, but she seemed not to care, she was like really ready to trash the money back to my face.

Ruminating about the incident got me angry and I picked up my phone, "I want everything about her by the end of today, I won't appreciate any mistake and I don't want to hear any excuse." I told the guard that was going to find out about her and that was when I could stop being reckless. "We are here sir." My driver announced and I stared out of the car to see that we were in the compound of the mansion.

The door opened for me and I got out of the car to see the flight of maids waiting for my arrival.

"Welcome boss." They greeted me, which of course I ignored.

I walked into the mansion and made myself comfortable on a sofa, "A glass of whiskey." I ordered out, not directing my order to anyone in particular.

The glass was brought to me and I began sipping it slowly as I allowed my mind to wander about to the lady earlier, when I remembered her face, I let out a smirk before it slowly turned to a smile and I didn't know when I laughed out loud. She was pretty, no doubt about that, I thought and gulped down my wine.

Two of my guards entered the sitting room, disturbing my daydreaming, I was going to scold them harshly but, "Sir, Carter is here to see you." One of them told me and I swallowed back my scold.

"Let him in," I told them and he was allowed in. "What do I do to own this visit, Carter?" I questioned him immediately he entered.

I didn't even ask him to sit down, though he sat anyway without my permission and I let him be, I didn't want any trouble with his boss, who was my friend, if not, he wouldn't dare.

"There is a message for you from my boss, and he said you should keep it a secret no matter what." He replied to me.

I crossed my legs on each other and rested my jaw on my knuckles, "Hmm." I hummed with my eyes fixed on him, thinking of what his words might be. The friend I know did not like keeping secrets, so what changed? "What is your boss' secret Carter?"

"He wants you to take up his position as the CEO of his companies, and everything he owns, for the meantime he won't be around." He said. I jolted from my seat, "What? What do you mean? Me? His representative? The CEO?" I bombarded him with questions, obviously astonished and he chuckled.

"Yes Mr Lincoln, that's what my boss wants. You are his only friend and you are the only one he can trust with a job like this and that is why I'm here, though that's not all that he wants from you." He told me.

My mind became a thinking mess immediately, me, a representative? Why me? I couldn't help but keep on thinking about it and my friend was too wealthy, too damn wealthy, so why will he wants me to represent him? Is he dying and is indirectly writing his will? I kept on thinking and I became a little bit worried. I had to question Carter, "What's wrong with him? Is he sick?"

"No Mr Lincoln, he is not sick, he just wants to go on an emergency trip and won't be back for a long time and since he trusts you, he is giving you an opportunity." He replied to me.

I caressed my temples with my fingers as I was beginning to feel some rising heat everywhere on my body. He was way wealthier than I was and him, allowing me to be the CEO was like allowing me to taste more heaven.

I smirked and raised my brows to Carter, now with a nonchalant smug, pretending that the position didn't freak me. "Tell your boss that he shouldn't worry, I will handle his business well and it can't be that hard, I have my own company and all that, that I'm handling, so he won't be difficult," I told him.

"Okay Mr Lincoln, that's solved. Now, it remains the most essential part of my being here." He told me and leaned forward to me on his seat with a file in his hands.

"There is another part?" I cannot help but ask, I was just waiting for him to deliver his message so that I would be able to celebrate, I was so happy that I would be richer soon, and now, he said that there is still another part, what if it's a bad news? I didn't want to hear it, but I had to. "What is this other part?" I questioned him further.

He sighed, probably thinking of the perfect way to say it, he was wrestling with himself and somehow, I knew that his next words might be scary. "Um," He began, "my boss wants you to help him with a lady." He said.

"What? A lady?" I was marveled. My friend had never spoken of any lady apart from his wife who betrayed him, and now, hearing the words from his PA sounds weird. And again, he never found it difficult to approach a lady before, so why was everything difficult for him now? Not like any lady in her right sense would reject him as he had the money.

"Yes Mr Lincoln, a lady. He doesn't want you to help him in asking her out, he just wants you to test her for him, you know, he doesn't want to fall victim to betrayal again, he doesn't want any lady to date him for his money again, so he needs your help. He should have been the one that will come to you right now by himself, but he couldn't make it here." He explained.

I chuckled and relaxed in my seat. "So, you're indirectly telling me that he cannot date someone without my help."

"That's not right, but I will say yes. You just have to help him with the company and help him with the girl, he got one that he likes already." Carter told me and stood to his feet and at that same time, my guard entered, the one I sent on an errand.

"This is her file, everything you would like to know about her is here, just do your job and that's all." Carter gave me the file before leaving.

I was not anxious to open the file but I did open it, "What the......" I was astonished when I saw the lady's pictures.

"Sir, is this not your woman?"
