A gossip in office
"Adele!" Rose was blinking her eyes looking at her with shock. Eva was standing with her mouth wide open. Blake and Noah were looking at her up to down.
"What? Have you seen any ghost?" Adele asked being irritated by their gaze. They had been looking at her since she entered the office. Even every employee was looking at her with those expressions. She was thinking from the beginning what was their reasons.
"Tell me truthfully girl, are you stalking Albert Knight?" Eva said pointing her index finger at her., "You have been to the CEO's office more than anyone ever did. And today you came with him. How?"
Adele was surprised how they knew about it. She got down the car on the road to avoid these gossips. But bad luck!
"You were in his car, right? Your picture has become the hot topic in our office gossip page." Blake said with a smirk.
Well, there was a gossip page too? H

"Mr. Lan, I thought the CEO would be here." Albert was enraged with the thought just a newcomer company disgraced him. He came to meet them by himself and the CEO didn't care to show up and even didn't provide any decisions with the man in front of him. How dare they! "Errr....Mr Knight, actually she's quite busy." Nathan didn't know any other excuse. He himself didn't know what was Adele doing. But the bitter truth was she ditched her own company to work with other ones. Sometimes Nathan wondered if she really cared about those properties of billions. "Busy? What did you mean by busy?" Albert asked in a cold tone that made Nathan gulped his saliva. Damn you Adele! If Nathan found her, she would be beaten to a pulp. Nathan sighed and dialled Adele's number. But she didn't pick the call up. Albert wanted to bury him alive. He was fuming with anger. He never tolerated any lacking in respect. "I think, I'm not interested in De

He was the only one to give me support all the time, he tried to keep me safe."Come on Adele! Don't behave like a kid. I was here with a goal and I reached it.

"Who are you?" Samuel Cooper was trying to free himself from the chair. His hands and legs were tied with nylon ropes and even his eyes were blindfolded. He could only use his voice for protest. But there was no one to listen to him.Robin was standing there with a devilish grin. His eyes lit up hearing the torture session. He was holding a light solution of sulphuric acid with gloved hands. It was enough of burn anyone's upper skin but not enough to burn deeply. With a smirk he splashed a little towards him. When each drop of the splash gave burning sensation to Cooper's skin, he screamed."I asked who are you?" He screamed with all of his life. But that only made Robin to splash once again."Who I am?" He repeated the question and suddenly opened his blindfold. As Robin used mask to hide his face, Samuel and couldn't see him."You remember Liam who killed Elijah Wilson?"

Adele's POV I'm filthy! I'm filthy! That Liam made me filthy. He took my innocence forcefully. I never wanted to remember these again and again. It just made me more and more bloodthirsty, it turned me to a demon that I never wanted to be. "Ade!" Albert roared at me. His voice contained too much anger but his eyes reflected concern. I couldn't believe his eyes sometimes. No one except my family showed concern about me. I closed my eyes and lowered my head, "Leave me, Albert! Please." I didn't want to open up my weakness, my filth. I didn't want anyone to drag into my life. Not even him. "Adele!! Listen to me." He grabbed my arms tightly, maybe so tight to stop blood circulation. He put his index finger under me chin and made me look at him. "How did all these happen? Tell me." His voice turned soft. What should I say? Would he like to listen to it? Would he like to know how his wife became filthy?

Adele's POVBeing with Albert never made me regret. From the first meeting, I felt secured and protected around him. I was feeling those senses were growing deeper each passing day, and that's the thing I feared most. He didn't know anything about me except my parent's real identity. I knew that was enough for him to cherish me but for me I was still confused.Last night, I saw another Albert in front of me. He was not ruthless or cruel, he was just soft and caring. I was afraid of falling for him. I didn't come here to stay or start a new life. I must go back to San Francisco because I already made a promise. One part of me wanted to stay in his embrace while the other wanted to run away. His life was full of darkness that pulled me towards him but having no way back bothered me most."Mam! You can go in." Ryan's words brought me back to work. Ryan knocked the office door twice and guestered me to go in. I raised an eyebrow. Albert still

"I'm sorry....I'm....so...sorry." the man was stammering in front of Albert which caused him smirk like a devil. For the man lying on the floor in a bloody state, Albert was the God of death. "Sorry?" Albert's smirk darkened, "I think Xavier should say that." Xavier sighed with the sentence. He knew what his boss actually meant. But the man on the floor was still unaware of the depth of his words. "How dare you try to leak our underworld data?" Albert was furicious. If the data got leaked, the whole mafia organisation would fall in danger. He got an order from their head to get rid of this poor but scheming person. The man gulped hard.
