Chapter 21

Ares.

A scowl seemed to be permanent on my face as I stared at Adela's secretary praesent her latest idea to the tech team and I.

Her latest idea was bullshit. And I was so close to tearing apart the bullshit, common code design she had in put in my front, and telling her to create another design.

I am a successful billionaire, not because my work is unique, not some common shit like what this idiot just wrote for me.

I rubbed my face with my palms, stifling a groan. Even the tech team looked uninterested.

I pressed my lips together to avoid interrupting her as she spoke. My phone turned on as a message came in, but it didn't make a sound because I had put it on DND.

I picked it up, out of sheer boredomness. It was Adela texting me.

Adela; We're at the hospital and she seems nervous as hell.

Me; Make her not nervous.

Adela; I don't know how. You tell me.

Me; I'm at a meeting and I'm pissed. Let's not start with this.

Adela; She won't stop asking about you, you know.
