**ADRIAN**


    I smirked as I watched Brianna step out of his office. She doesn’t know what awaits her if she walked out of the building. A few moments after she stepped out, Manuel marched into my office. With the look on his face I knew he had met Brianna on his way in.


    “Wasn’t that the irondy from the restaurant? The one that kicked your dick?” He mused.


    “She is the one. I told you I would hire her so that I’ll get my revenge on what she did to me at the restaurant.” I replied.


    “When I saw her she was mumbling something like: *if only I didn’t need money, I’d have beaten him to a pulp* with an angry frown on her face. She didn’t even know someone was in the elevator with her, I guess whatever you sent her to do must have made her annoyed.” He stated. I snickered when I heard what he said.


    “She must be crazy if she thought she could beat me up, she’s working under me so she’ll have to do anything I tell her to.” I told him.


    “Well that is not what I came here for.” He said dismissively,”Will you be chanced to hit the club tonight?” He asked.


    “No I won’t. I will be busy with some important stuff.” I replied.


    “I know you won’t be busy with anything. You just don’t want to hang out with me. Or do you have another best friend aside from me that you’re tired of hanging out with me?.” Heined childishly stomping his foot like a spoilt kid.


    “Seriously I’d be busy doing an online meeting with investors outside the state. And I don’t have another friend besides you. I can’t handle another person with the same level of immaturity as you, if I do I’d die an untimely death.” I said sighing.


    “Can’t you just postpone it to maybe tomorrow or another day? Please? I promise there will be lots of fun and hotdies. It is the most popr club in town these days.” He stated.


    “I’ll think about it.” I replied.


    “If you say that you’ll think about it that means you are not going so please just say yes huh?” He said looking at me with puppy dog eyes and a pout that was supposed toe out as cute but it ruined his good looks.


    “Fine, fine I’ll go OK? Anything to stop you from looking at me with that face.” I groaned agreeing reluctantly because if I didn’t he’ll do anything to make sure Ie along with him. Besides, who can say no to a night of fun, drinking and hotdies.


    “Yay! I promise you won’t regreting. I heard it is a very fun club.” He said grinning childishly.


    “Just don’t make me regret going. I will schedule the meeting to another day.” I sighed.


    “Bye! I’ll text you the address of the club.” He said.


    “So that’s what you came here to do. You didn’te to check up on me?” I asked.


    “Yes that’s what I came to do. How will Ie over to check up on you its not like you’re my girlfriend or something.” He replied.


    “Speaking of which, when are you gonna get yourself a girlfriend?” I asked Manuel seriously.


    “I might as well ask you the same thing.” He responded.


    “Oh you know me, I’m not ready formitment and girl problems. All I wanna do now is to make more money, fuck and have fun.” I stated.


    “Well I hope you change that mindset soon.” He replied.


    “I’ll see you tonight. Bye!” He said walking to the door.


    “Yeah see you tonight dude.” I responded.


    **BRIANNA**


    Immediately I stepped out of the building, I gged down the first cab I saw and entered the cab.


    “Where are you going miss?” The cab driver asked.


    “I don’t really know sir but this is the address given to me.” I replied showing him the paper on which the address was written.


    “This ce is pretty far miss, its gonna cost you some more dors than usual.” He stated.


    “Just take me there sir, I’ll pay any amount. I’m already runningte.” I responded tiredly. He ignited the car’s engine and sped off into the road. I kept mumbling incoherent words wishing I wasn’t the one he sent to his house. After driving for fifteen minutes, the car suddenly jerked forward and stopped. I stared at the driver worriedly wondering what happened to the car. As if reading my mind, the driver turned his head to look at me and said,” I still went to the automobile repair shop this morning to check if anything is wrong with it and they said it was in a good condition.”


    “Well what are you doing sitting there, go and check what is wrong with it.” I snapped rudely, I didn’t care if I sounded rude. I don’t wanna lose my job because I got back to the officete.


    The driver got down from the car and walked over to the front. He opened the hood and checked some things in it and sighed. He came back into the car and I asked him what’s wrong with it.


    “The car radiator is overheated so the radiator is damaged.” He said.


    “What are we gonna do now? I don’t even know where the ce I’m going is located.” I ranted.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    “There is nothing I can do unless you can wait till the repairmanes because I’m going to call him now.” He replied already pulling out his phone from his pants pocket.


    “Well I can’t wait till the repairmanes. I’m runningte already.” I said to him getting out of the car.


    “Will you collect the money for the fifteen minutes?” I questioned rummaging my purse for the money Mr Adrian has thrown at me earlier in his office.


    “No need for that. I didn’t even take you to your destination so there is no reason for me to collect money from you.” He said kindly.


    “At least take this from me. You used money to fill gas into your car at the gas station and I’m pretty sure you have people at home waiting for you at home toe back and feed them. So take this.” I stated handing a few dor notes to him.


    “Thanks for this miss, may God be with you.” He thanked me.


    “No problem.” I replied. I turned towards the direction the car was going before it broke down. I walked for minutes thinking that maybe I could find another cab but the road was void of cars. There was no single soul walking on the road and the thought of it was freaking me out.


    I continued walking aimlessly for minutes before I came out to a busy road. Different cars were driving by and I kept trying to g down a cab when I see one but they kept ignoring me till a ck shy SUV stopped in front of me. I tried walking away thinking that maybe the driver of the car got the wrong person but before a could even take a step, the person wind down the window of the car and his head popped out.


    “Hey! What’s a beautifuldy like you doing under this scorching sun? It’ll burn your beautiful skin.” He called out. I ignored him and kept walking but he continued following me.


    “Hop in mydy, I can take you to wherever you’re going.” He said. When I heard what he said I thought about it. I might as well go in his car because I waste already and I can’t keep walking without knowing where I’m going, I might get lost. I turned back to the car and got in. He looked at me as I settled down in the passenger seat.


    “So what were you doing walking alone on such a hot day?” He asked.


    “My boss sent me on an errand and the cab I took broke down on the road. I don’t even know where I’m going.” I replied.


    “Didn’t he give you an address or something?” He questioned.


    “He gave me but I don’t know where it is located.” I answered.


    “Let me have a look at it.” He said and I gave him the paper. He looked at it and smiled.


    “Well you’re in luck. I’m also going somewhere around this area so I have no problem taking you there.” He stated.


    “Thank you.” I mumbled.


    “You haven’t told me your name yet.” He said.


    “I’ll tell you mine if you tell me yours.” I replied.


    “My name is Carlos.” He said looking at me.


    “Brianna.” I told him simply. I wasn’t in a mood to talk and I wished we got there immediately. I can’t even imagine how Mr Adrian would react if I got back to the office sote that the meeting would be postponed.
