No one told Lillian where they were going for dinner, so she was stunned by the scenery.Adrian came down and posed for Lillian to take his hand. She took his hand and they walked elegantly in to the beautiful restaurant. Entering the restaurant, the place was cozy and filled with neon light, the whole place gave out classy and rich vibe.Lillian was mesmerized by the captivating view the beautiful transparent glasses glistening in the dark of the night. Seats where arranged, in place of four people she thought she was meeting only one of Adrian's friend. That doesn't seem like the case.Adrian pushed out a seat for Lillian who sat down gracefully."Won't you tell me who's coming" Lillian asked, curious but she didn't let it show."Can wait to find out, huh?" He smirked knowing fully well he made her curious she just wasn't showing it.In the next minute someone was ushered in, Lillian was seated backing the door, so she definitely could not see the door.--No one told Lillian where
Did you guys really marry?" Tyler asked wide eyed. "Yes" Lillian answered truthfully. "When did this happen?" He asked. "Last time I checked you guys didn't even want to hear each others name""Things happen" Lillian said and shrugged."They really do" Tyler muttered still in shock as he took a seat beside Adrian. Adrian, "I'll pour you wine, since am in a good mood today" "Cheers to you guys" Tyler raised his wine poured by Adrian still shocked tho"Cheers" both Lillian and Adrian said. After taking a sip Tyler looked at the empty seat beside him. "Still expecting someone?" Lillian looked at Adrian, waiting for an answer. She couldn't get him to say who was coming. "Why don't you take a guess" Adrian said and smirked. Tyler, "I'm definitely not doing that with you." Just then the door clicked open followed by clicks of heels. -- Sarah entered the restaurant awed by the settings, she definitely didn't expect anything less than luxury. But this was at an extreme.

Faced with the death glare from the ruthless lady, Mark's adrenaline rushed, he felt goosebumps on his skin, the boss lady is so mad right now because they had lost a contract worth hundreds of millions to their competitor the De LUCA company. "And why the hell are you looking so lost," Lillian asked, coldness apparent in her voice. "I'm sorry Ma'am, I'll ensure this does not happen again," Mark said in a very serious tone. After 10 minutes of silence. Mark looked at Lillian only to find her blowing on her nails, only if one could wake up to this sight every day, there was no doubt why she is called the beautiful beast in the business world. "Set up a meeting with the DE LUCA company" Lillian's beautiful voice rang out jolting Mark from his reverie. "What!!! Ma'am, did I hear you right Ma'am? " Mark stuttered "Do not make me repeat myself," Lillian answered coldly. "Yes, Ma I'll set it up right away, excuse me." Mark scurried out of the office. Lillian stood up and went aroun
knock knock There was a knock on the door “come in” Adrian said without looking up as he knew only Joe was brave enough to enter his office at this time of the night. The first thing Joe noticed when entered was his boss reading a file, while sipping a cup of coffee, he wonders who drinks coffee at night, his boss is a workaholic everyone knows that, he’s very hardworking, and that why all the employees in the office are hardworking and diligent as well, Joe shook the thoughts out of his mind and focused on his boss who had his head bowed reading a file.“Boss it's 3 a.m in the morning, aren't you going to rest” came Joe’s hoarse voice it was obvious he was really tired.“You go to bed, I'll sleep in my office bedroom when I'm done with these files” Adrian replied without raising his focus on the files he was working on.” alright Sir I’ll take my leave ” Joe turned around and left. Adrian's phone suddenly rang“Hello Dad” Adrian's voice rang out as he answered his phone which was ri
The next dayLillian woke up early in the morning to a beautiful sunny day, as she prepared for work she thought about what happened yesterday at her company, the thought of it made her ecstatic to see what the De Luca wanted from her even if she knew why, she still needed to meet and talk to them in person, especially the De Luca’s Patriarch Adrian De Luca, she made a mental note to ask Mark her secretary about the meeting venue with the De Luca.Lillian went into her walk-in closet to get clothes for today's meeting, she had a meeting with the board members of the Facci company, though the Facci company in New York is not the main HQ, the Facci group of company's main HQ is in London, where Facci grandparents and other relatives reside, her grandfather is currently the CEO, she choose to leave London 3years ago because of the disaster that struck her family, she begged her grandfather to let her run the branch in New York as she doesn't want to stay in a country that has hurt her th
On the other side of the De Luca company, things were far from peaceful, and it seemed that things were only going to get worse before they got better.Adrian paced back and forth in his office, muttering to himself about the cancellation of the Facci company. His secretary, Joe, knew better than to interrupt him during one of his fits of rage. Adrian was known for his temper, and Joe had learned to stay out of his way when he was in a bad mood.As Adrian continued to fume, Joe tried to focus on his work, but it was difficult with the sound of his boss's angry footsteps echoing through the office. The other employees were also on edge, trying to avoid drawing Adrian's attention, as three managers were already fired that morning.Mark remembered how it started when he broke the news to his boss."What? They canceled on us?" he asked, his voice laced with anger.Mark nodded. "Yes, sir. And the reason they gave was that their boss was going on a date for the next two days."Adrian's fist
The black eye catching Bugatti came to a halt in front of the luxurious Circa non pareil, Mark elegantly came down from the car and opened the door for Lillian and she gracefully alighted the car.As Lillian entered the restaurant,Mark trailed behind her the soft glow of chandeliers illuminated their path, casting an ethereal ambiance around them. Lillian's dress, a flowing gown adorned with intricate lace, accentuated her graceful figure, while Mark's tailored suit exuded sophistication and charm.The waiter hurriedly informed the manager that Miss Lillian had arrived. The manager, a middle-aged man with a distinguished look, adjusted his suit and straightened his tie, ready to greet the esteemed guests.The patrons seated at nearby tables couldn't help but steal glances, captivated by Lillian's striking beauty and the air of mystery that surrounded her. Murmurs of curiosity spread through the restaurant, and whispers of speculation filled the air.The waiter, sensing the significanc
After the passionate kiss between Lillian and Adrian, the atmosphere in the room changed drastically. Adrian, now sitting opposite Lillian, glared at her with a cold expression that would have sent shivers down the spine of any normal person. But Lillian, undeterred, maintained eye contact, fully aware that she had successfully maneuvered him into a vulnerable position."Why should I marry you?" Adrian's voice cut through the tension, his tone icy and devoid of any warmth.Lillian leaned back in her chair, a hint of amusement playing on her lips. "Well, let's say it's a business proposition, Adrian. We stand to gain from it, both in our own unique ways."Adrian's eyes narrowed, suspicion etched across his face. "And what exactly do you mean by 'we gain'?"Lillian raised an eyebrow, her voice laced with confidence. "I bring connections, influence, and resources to the table. You, on the other hand, possess wealth and a prominent name. Together, we can create a formidable alliance, o
