Adrian was handsome and he had this charisma around him he wasn’t the man you spot in the middle of the crowd a mile away but if you come across him it’s impossible not to notice his good looks and bright smile that reached his eyes especially when he looked at Jessica Adrian pulled her seat and sat across from her.
