The building looked older up close.

The paint had faded unevenly and the sign above the entrance had missing letters, leaving behind faint outlines where they used to be. What was supposed to show Havenridge property management was “Harid proper agement”

The glass door was clean, recently wiped, but the metal frame around it had small chips that hadn’t been fixed.

Adam paused for a moment before stepping inside.

‘With an office so welcoming, I wonder how they can manage someone else's building.

  • The Arrogance System: I Become Richer   Chapter 62 - The Longer Conversation (2)

    “A good defense is worth three rushed contracts later?”Adam fell into contemplation.He realized how glad he was that someone was there to actually confirm his ideas. While he and Melissa, to an extent, had decided to focus on the contracts they already had, most executives of Titan Maintenance weren't on the same page with them.It sometimes made Adam wonder if his actions were correct.He then thought about Walter Cho, the rolled-up blueprint, the eighteen-month timeline he'd walked away from."I already passed on something this week," he said. "Big potential deal. Too much exposure for where things are right now."Adrian pointed at him. "That's it. That's exactly it."He looked genuinely pleased that Adam already understood the concept of what he was trying to say. "Do you know how many people your age I've watched blow up a perfectly good company by refusing to stop moving? Speed is great until it isn't. The best thing I ever did for my business was take a six-month period where

  • The Arrogance System: I Become Richer   Chapter 61 - The Longer Conversation (1)

    Adrian was already outside, leaning against the wall two storefronts down with his jacket pushed back and his phone face-down on the railing beside him.His demeanor was one of someone who genuinely had nowhere better to be.When Adam pushed through the door, Adrian looked over and raised his chin."I thought you might follow," he said."The card was right there." Adam fell into step beside him as Adrian pushed off the wall. "Where are we going?""There's a decent diner about six blocks up. Good coffee, bad lighting, nobody bothers you." Adrian said as he glanced sideways. "Unless you had somewhere to be.""I'm good."They walked, their footsteps echoing of the street where few people passed.Thursday evening tended to be that way since the weekend hadn't quite arrived, the city was at a mild simmer rather than a boil.Adrian had his hands in his pockets and the relaxed stride of someone who'd made peace with the pace of things a long time ago."You said that was the longer conversati

  • The Arrogance System: I Become Richer   Chapter 60 - Adrian Vance

    Adam stayed with his drink, where Daniel had left him, not quite ready to move.The bar had filled up properly now.The earlier quiet replaced by the low comfortable noise of a Thursday evening finding its rhythm.He was thinking about nothing in particular or trying to, at least, when someone dropped into the chair across from him with the full confidence of a man sitting down at his own kitchen table."Hope that's not saved," the man said, already settled, already comfortable.Adam looked up.Mid-thirties, maybe. Sandy hair, open collar, a jacket that was clearly expensive without announcing itself. He had a drink in one hand something clear, probably just soda and a relaxed expression of someone who'd happened to notice a free seat and took it."It's not," Adam said."Good." The man glanced around the bar with mild appreciation. "Great place. Genuinely underrated.""You come here often?""Now and then." He turned back to Adam with an easy smile. "Adrian Vance.""Adam Wilson.""I k

  • The Arrogance System: I Become Richer   Chapter 59 - Meeting the Cousin Again

    Adam was surprised when Olivia texted him on Thursday evening if he was available to meet with someone. ByMore surprisingly was the person. Daniel. Her cousin.When he thought about it, Adam felt it should have been expected.He was dating the man's cousin afterall.The bar Daniel had chosen was fairly simple.No craft cocktail menu on a chalkboard, no Edison bulbs strung at careful intervals to suggest character. Just solid wood counters, decent lighting, and a bartender who didn't hover.Daniel was already there when Adam arrived, sitting at a corner table with two drinks already ordered, jacket off, collar open.He looked up when Adam walked in and raised a hand in a wave, like they were picking up something that had been briefly interrupted rather than starting something new."Adam." He didn't stand, just gestured at the chair across from him. "We finally meet properly this time.""I know," Adam agreed, and sat.The drink in front of him was whiskey, neat.He hadn't told Daniel h

  • The Arrogance System: I Become Richer   Chapter 58: Not Yet

    Walter Cho's office wasn't what Adam expected.There was no glass tower and no skyline view, just a converted warehouse space near the rail yards, exposed brick, a long table covered in rolled blueprints instead of a polished desk.It smelled like sawdust and coffee.Adam liked it more than he expected to and he also felt it fit the man's character more."Most people who meet me for the first time look disappointed," Walter said, not looking up from the plans he was straightening. "They want marble. I give them plywood and ask if they still want to talk business.""I came for the conversation, not the furniture." Adam replied."Good answer." Walter finally looked up, gesturing at the chair across from him.Melissa was already seated, notebook open, pen uncapped.She'd arrived some minutes early, the way she always did, like punctuality was a personality trait instead of a habit."Your assistant called ahead asking for margin breakdowns on three of my past projects,"Walter said, amuse

  • The Arrogance System: I Become Richer   Chapter 57: The Quiet Side of the Job

    Melissa Hale’s apartment was smaller than people probably expected, given the title on her business card and the six-figure decisions she signed off on weekly.In the living room, a desk was crowded with two monitors, a coffee maker that ran basically every hour, and a couple of sofas.She liked it that way.Less to clean, more to focus on.It was just past seven in the morning, and she was already two coffees in, scrolling through Titan's contract pipeline with the focus of it not being a chore, but a shape waiting to be solved.Her phone buzzed.It was a text from her only friend and self-acclaimed sister, Hana.– Mom's asking if you're still "working for that rich kid" lol. She wants to know if he's nice.Melissa snorted, typing back without looking up from the second monitor.–Tell her he's polite and chronically late. Otherwise a functional human.–She says that sounds like every man in the family.– I know that.She set the phone down and let herself enjoy the small, ordinary no

    The Metro Business & Property Alliance event was a place Adam had no business being in three months ago. But just a week after the clash with the Lacoste's, Adam found himself there. A "Metro Business & Property Alliance" mixer, the invitation had called it. Adam had gotten an invite through a

    Jasper had been to Kelvin Lacoste’s office many times in the past.Each time was either an assessment, report or to receive an order.He pressed the button for the fifty-second floor and watched the lobby disappear beneath him as his mind ran through its earlier preparations.He was not afraid of K

    Adam was quiet for a moment.The sentence was heavier than it seemed. It wasn't just two clients that were lost, but two important clients.Gerald's importance to Havenridge hardly needed explaining.The Calloway Group was larger and represented nearly twice Gerald's revenue. A firm that had been o

    Adam didn't sleep much that night either.But this time it wasn't nerves.He sat at the small desk in his apartment with the Havenridge performance data spread across his screen and worked through it the same way he had worked through everything since the system first appeared behind his eyes — met
