As I stepped out of the conference room, I couldn't shake off the image of miss Confidence as I would call her it suits her more rather Stella, that she called her herself....
Though she was way out of my league judging from her outfit, but I couldn't deny that she was extremely intriguing and attractive in an extremely charming way. Her bright smile and sparkling eyes lingered in my mind like a pleasant aftertaste, more like something I would want to possess and explore...
I noticed Fredrick's eyes on me, amusement dancing in his gaze. He knew me too well; normally, I would have walked out coldly without sparing her a glance. But there was something about Stella that had caught my attention, I ignored his gaze like I didn't notice in the first place...
As I strode towards my limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom the only one in this city and one of the most expensive car in the world, the sleek black exterior gleaming in the sunlight, one of my bodyguard immediately opened the car door for me with a bow showing extreme respect.... I stepped inside, the soft leather enveloping me in comfort and the comforting Ac that drifted my thoughts towards Stella... Fredrick followed right behind me, I knew he thinking of how to ask me questions so he could calm his curious mind...
"Master Adrian, should I help you look more into her background?" Fredrick asked, his tone neutral, but a hint of curiosity lurking beneath, I thought as much, but I wasn't going to satisfy his curiosity today...
I raised an eyebrow, looking at him with a cold, menacing gaze. "Don't bother, thanks for your help," I replied, a hint of sarcasm creeping into my voice. I focused on my phone, scrolling through emails, but my mind kept drifting back to Stella her charisma kept drawing me in....
Fredrick cleared his throat, a subtle reminder that he was still there. I knew he was trying to play the role of perfect PA, but I also knew he was dying to ask me more questions and I felt better knowing fully well his trying to analyze if I liked her or not...
We arrived at my mansion, the sprawling estate nestled in the heart of the city, the most expensive villa in the city of andropolis(city of men), As I stepped out of the car, the warm sun on my skin was a pleasant contrast to the air-conditioned interior. I walked into the sitting room, the opulent decor and high ceilings a testament to my wealth....
Surprisingly My dad, James Huston, sat on the couch, his imposing figure commanding attention. He glanced up at me, his eyes piercing, and asked me to sit down. I called for a maid to serve coffee, the aroma of freshly brewed Arabica filling the air....
As I waited for the coffee to arrive, I couldn't help but wonder why my dad had come to visit me in my home. He was someone I respected and revered, but I also knew him well enough to recognize when he was trying to manipulate me but sorry for him the old Adrian is gone....
The maid returned with a steaming cup of coffee, and I took a sip, the rich flavors a welcome distraction from my thoughts. My dad's eyes never left mine, a hint of a smile playing on his lips, seeing him you would think he was the most perfect saint you would ever meet but I knew him so well, the only person he was a saint for was my his wife, my birth mum to be more precised but she didn't deserve it...
I raised an eyebrow, intrigued by his unending smile I knew he was up to no good, What does he want to discuss?, And why did he think he could just waltz into my home and unexpectedly and be smiling without going straight to the point...
The game was on, let's who is going to talk first...
