Our eyes met, and for a moment, it felt like the air had been sucked out of the room. His gaze pierced through me, cold and unyielding, making my pulse quicken beneath my skin.

My heart hammered against my ribcage, and the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. Every nerve in my body felt as if it had been electrified by that fleeting contact.

    Adrian's Pov He didn't burge, rather his eyes drifted between me and the document on his desk. I picked it up, and then read through it.“Board members profile? What do I need this for?” “Perhaps you don't.” He sat and crossed his legs on the couch.“You need to know everyone's profile if you want to work here. This is the first time I will be helping you.”“I do not consider this to be of any help.” I raised a brow and smiled at him. “I do have a question though.”He seemed interested.“Why give me a project that was initially given to the Moretti's? A project that the Mancini's stole.” Nikolai laughed.“I was waiting for you to asj, it took you forever.” He stood up and then walked to me, “What makes you think that the Mancini's stole this project?

When the security was dragging Mattis out, he didn't stop begging for his life.When his hands held my coat, I looked down at him and raised a brow.

We are finally expecting a Mancini heir.”I feigned a smile.“Honestly, after our talk yesterday, I thought it will cause a rift in your relationship with Isabelle.

Isabelle was up, and the maid was in the bedroom packing the sheet from the night before.I turned towards them, and Isabelle was just folding up the stained sheet making sure the maid saw it before placing it in the laundry basket.Sly.I groaned. “Morning Adrian.” Mrs Smith greeted me and I feigned a smile at her as though I had one hell of a pleasurable night.I didn't.

I bet he didn't want to hear his official dismissal due his followers amongst the board.I could tell from their faces, they've gotten the news already. “That's the last report, sir.” Mattis Quinn closed the document and then handed it over to my secretary.“Is there something else that needs to be discussed?” Mateo Mancini turned to me and held my gaze for a minute.He was the only one bold enough to do that.
