On the other side of the De Luca company, things were far from peaceful, and it seemed that things were only going to get worse before they got better.
Adrian paced back and forth in his office, muttering to himself about the cancellation of the Facci company. His secretary, Joe, knew better than to interrupt him during one of his fits of rage. Adrian was known for his temper, and Joe had learned to stay out of his way when he was in a bad mood.
As Adrian continued to fume, Joe tried to focus on his work, but it was difficult with the sound of his boss's angry footsteps echoing through the office. The other employees were also on edge, trying to avoid drawing Adrian's attention, as three managers were already fired that morning.
Mark remembered how it started when he broke the news to his boss.
"What? They canceled on us?" he asked, his voice laced with anger.
Mark nodded. "Yes, sir. And the reason they gave was that their boss was going on a date for the next two days."
Adrian's fists clenched and his teeth ground together. "How dare she!" he shouted. ".
Joe and the other employees exchanged nervous glances, knowing that Mr. Adrian's anger was not a good sign. They all knew that Adrian would be taking out his fury on them, and they braced themselves for the worst.
Adrian turned to Joe with a menacing glare. "Get me a list of her schedules," he growled. "I want to make sure they know what happens when they cross me."
Joe nodded, knowing that there was no arguing with Adrian when he was in this kind of mood. He quickly got to work on pulling together the list, hoping that he could diffuse the situation before it got any worse.
But deep down, he knew that there was no stopping Adrian's rage once it had been unleashed.
“Here it is boss” Joe hurriedly gave the list of Lillian’s schedule to Adrian.
“The Lawson family huh, Joe I want you to keep the Lawsons busy, so that they don’t leave the office especially Alexander Lawson keeps him occupied for the next few days.Although Adrian, could single-handedly bankrupt the Lawson Corporation, he wanted this to serve as a warning to them.
“Where’s the venue of the supposed dinner date with, Alexander Lawson,” Adrian asked his voice laced with anger.
“ Boss the dinner date is to be held in Circa Nonparril”
“Get my suit ready Joe, I have a date to crash today.” Adrian said with a smug smile on his face.“I’ll get it done immediately boss” Joe immediately left the office to make arrangements for his boss’s gate crashing date.

How have you been Sarah" Lillian asked not minding the sarcastic reply she received. "I've been good" Sarah gave a short reply. Lillian knew Sarah was vexed about whatever had happened 3years ago and she wouldn't blame her for expressing herself in this manner. "Sarah, am sorry. I just needed to be alone for sometime I just needed my peace to gather my thought." Lillian "You know, I thought we were sisters. I thought we moved past the friends kind of relationship. But NO you never took me as your sister. Because if yh did you wouldn't have left like you did." She paused seeing that she's was getting emotional. "You wouldn't hide from me, you wouldn't wait so long to talk to me again Lillian," she continued tear rolling down her beautiful face. Lillian couldn't stop the tear that slipped down her face, she moved to her and hugged her. Lillian's heart sank as she saw the pain reflected in Sarah's eyes. Taking a deep breath, she reached out and gently touched Sarah's hand.

"Last time I checked you guys didn't even want to hear each others name""Things happen" Lillian said and shrugged."They really do" Tyler muttered still in shock as he took a seat beside Adrian. Adrian, "I'll pour you wine, since am in a good mood today" "Cheers to you guys" Tyler raised his wine poured by Adrian still shocked tho"Cheers" both Lillian and Adrian said. After taking a sip Tyler looked at the empty seat beside him. "Still expecting someone?" Lillian looked at Adrian, waiting for an answer. She couldn't get him to say who was coming. "Why don't you take a guess" Adrian said and smirked. Tyler, "I'm definitely not doing that with you." Just then the door clicked open followed by clicks of heels. -- Sarah entered the restaurant awed by the settings, she definitely didn't expect anything less than luxury. But this was at an extreme. A waiter gr
No one told Lillian where they were going for dinner, so she was stunned by the scenery.Adrian came down and posed for Lillian to take his hand. She took his hand and they walked elegantly in to the beautiful restaurant. Entering the restaurant, the place was cozy and filled with neon light, the whole place gave out classy and rich vibe.Lillian was mesmerized by the captivating view the beautiful transparent glasses glistening in the dark of the night. Seats where arranged, in place of four people she thought she was meeting only one of Adrian's friend.

The car came to a halt in front of the beautiful condo. Nancy opened the door, and Lillian stepped out. The guard patiently waited by the car, his gaze watchful as the two women made their way towards the entrance.Lillian gracefully ascended the steps and walked into the condo, with Nancy trailing close behind. The foyer was adorned with exquisite artwork and a grand chandelier that cast an elegant glow over the space.Walking further into the condo, Lillian came face to face with a woman who seemed to be in her forties. She was meticulously cleaning the plush couch, her focused expression softening as she noticed the unexpected visitors.The clinking of heels alerted the woman cleaning. "Who are you?" Lillian inquired, her tone polite but assertive."Good day ma, My name is Caroline. I've been working here for two years now," Caroline greeted with a warm smile, her eyes reflecting genuine hospitality."Alright, I'll be in my room," Lillian replied, her voice composed as she began to
Pacing up and down in her lavishly decorated room, Tasha couldn't seem to get the hang of what she just heard. Her normally composed and haughty demeanor was replaced by ravaging beast with a mix anger and entitlement.Looking up, she glared at the maid, Helen, her voice dripping with condescension. "When did you hear all this, Helen?Helen, a middle-aged woman with a weathered face, looked at Tasha's beautiful but distorted face, her eyes avoiding direct contact. She bowed her head, a gesture of submission. "Young Miss, I overheard the conversation while cleaning the room next to the study. I didn't mean to intrude."Tasha's voice rose hysterically, her entitlement and manipulative nature taking center stage. "How dare she! She's only been back for what? Two days? And now grandpa wants her to take over the company? This is unacceptable!"Helen's hands trembled slightly, but she maintained her composure. She knew better than to engage in a confrontation with Tasha. Instead, she chos
