Appointment

Adele was standing in front of a skyscraper, she looked at the building in front of her as she nervously smooths her dress with her free hand while holding her bag tightly with the other hand. 

She walked into the building, admiring the interior decor and the amazing art works there. As a big fan of art she recognised some art pieces and the artists. 

Adele smiled at the receptionist “Good morning”

“Good morning ma'am, who are you here to see?” the lady asked with a smile. 

“I have a meeting with Mr Kings” Adele replied

“Take the elevator to the last floor, the third room by the left.” the lady directed after finding the appointment on their Tab. 

Thank you” Adele muttered as walks towards the elevator. 

Adele checked herself in the glass elevator, she wanted to look simple and elegant and not someone who's depressed from not seeing her boyfriend which explains why she's wearing an off-the-shoulder body con dress that has a slit on the left leg. 

Complimenting it with a matching red bottom heel and bag. 

She looks expensive and hot too. She brought out her phone to check the time. 

“Ding” The elevator door opened leading her to an aisle, she walked further before finding the third room on the left which was the last room on that floor. 

She knocked before pushing the unlocked door open. She was expecting to see an office area or something but was welcomed with a large sitting area. 

It's an apartment not an office. She gasped, looking around the beautiful room, and didn't notice the young man standing feets away from her as she was amused by the design and color of the room. 

It was designed with black and Gold screaming wealth. 

“Ehm ehm”the man coughs getting Adele's attention. 

“Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't see you when I walked in”she said shyly, facing the man with her head down

“It's okay, Miss Harris right?. You can have your seat here, Mr Kings will be with you shortly”

The man said with a smile, making Adele smile too as she nodded. 

She took her seat, and waited patiently. She just wants to meet him and get over it. 

Ten minutes has passed and Mr Kings is yet to show up, they've been refilling her cup of tea since then. 

She spent her time thinking about Jacobs and going through the texts that she sent to him. Jacob is one of the most caring and loving guys she has ever met and she's lucky enough to date him. 

She's meeting with one of his friends once the meeting with Mr Kings is over. 

“Miss Harris, sorry for the delay Mr Kings said he'll join you shortly” the man said again. 

Adele nodded, even though she's not comfortable but she's the one that needs help from him after all.

The large door on the other side of the room opened and she heard footsteps, she stood up immediately and faced the direction where Mr Kings was coming from. 

A tall figure in black, with broad shoulders walking in the middle surrounded by security men, making it difficult to see his face

“Why is he walking with security to me in his apartment, is he really that powerful?” She wondered. 

She was shocked when they stop abruptly, when they almost got to where she was standing

“I thought I was going to meet with her father, Why is she here?”

“I'm sorry, I needed to speak to you personally, you know, ehm… about the marriage stuff.” She stuttered

She noticed he was trying to hide behind one of his huge guards and his voice sounded strangely familiar. 

“There's nothing to talk about, I only have business with your father and not you. Have a nice day” He said not giving her a chance to say a word as he turned to leave. 

But determined Adele was quick, as she moved to the other side of the room and grabbed his hand within a blink of an eye. He was shocked by her action

“I really need to talk to you, You can't just expect me to marry a stranger I know nothing about, we should get to know each other at least” She flared up which instantly caused his security guard to move closer to them.

They tried to pull her away which caused her to pull Mr Kings along with her. Everything around them stopped as she stood face to face with her boyfriend Jacob. 

Shock Is an understatement, as Mr Kings kept his expression stoic. 

“Jacob?” She whispered seconds after.

“What are you doing here? what's this?” She asked confused as she tried to take another step forward but was blocked by his guards. 

“I've been going crazy trying to find you, you went missing all of a sudden and here you are, Mr Kings?”. Her voice broke while she tried to recover from her shock. 

“I thought something bad had happened to you , I thought you were dead but…… but you're hale and sound and____” she paused to take a good look at him.

“WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU REALLY?” she shouted at him with tears streaming down her eyes. 

“You don't want to know amor. I don't have anything to say to you, if you have any questions asked your father, Richard will see you to the door” With that he left her standing.

Adele took a step back and stumbled, she sat there, on the floor crying her eyes out. 

“Jacob! Jacob Killian!!” she screamed, he could hear her but he didn't react and she watched the door close behind him. 

She didn't know how long she had been sitting there until Richard, the man that had been attending to her said it's time to go. 

He helped her up, she grabbed her bag and walked towards the door, turned back to look at the door Jacob went through before leaving. 

She tried to put herself together as her makeup was ruined already, she went straight to the restroom in the lobby, she looked at herself in the mirror and bursted into another round of tears. 

She cried out in pain and anger as she tried to muffle her cry but she couldn't keep the sound. 

She called her best friend Amanda to pick her up because she's not in her right mind to drive.
