Adrian still didn't understand the words of Lucas even if he was high IQ person. Because he still did think that Mary was a greedy person and could do anything for money. That's the whole reason he ignored his little heartache. But in future drama between Mary & Adrian would be more funny and dramatic.
" what's the look of your face. still don't believe me? okay, don't believe me. just focus of her moves in future and you will know. by the way where are your secretary head? call him and I'll clear your understanding about Eva." Lucas said with taunting tone.
When Adrian heard Lucas mocking again , he fully came back his senses. And realize that what Lucas wanted to do. At least he could understand Eva's scheme. He actually told many times that he loved some else not her. He could not love her even if Eva saved him in the past , as for marriage that out of questions.
" I believe you but about Mary , I don't want to believe you. even my grandfather didn't tell me how Mary convinced him to marriage between us. Grandfather may feel that Mary is calculating person but couldn't anything because of his kind attitude. leave Mary's case for future, first handle Eva's case." Adrian said seriously.
After that he called secretary office and summoned Paul for investigation. Couple minutes later Paul knocked Adrian's office and after receiving Adrian's permission he entered the room.
"good morning Mr White. how are you?" Paul greeted Lucas. Because they knew each other very well.
"I was very well untill I witnessed your boss's blind romance. so all in all I'm in good mood. you'll be when you'll witness your boss's misery. leave that. how are you these days? were your boss punishing you for no reason? if you want to resign your job in future , tell me and I'll introduce you an excellent boss. and you will be happy. actually your boos summoned you for investigation. what kind of thing Eva did here in the past. we want all the list and whole story. we'll give you one hour to do that. and before doing that , please give a cup of Lotte. thank you." Lucas said and mocked Adrian again for his ruthlessness. also in the same time he offered Paul a olive branch.
Hearing Luca's offer Adrian felt his blood started to boil. how could his childhood best friend backstab ( oh no , it's actually stabbed ) him. everyone in this felt Adrian's rage but Lucas didn't care about it. he only care about his childhood darling. Paul felt, if he didn't leave this room he would skin alive in future.
" thank you for your generous offer Mr White. I prefer my boss even if he ruthless person. I'll show the investigation results in an hour." after saying that Paul nodded to Adrian and left the room. Before doing investigation he ordered another secretary for giving Lotte and black coffee for boss's office.
after Paul left the office , Adrian asked Lucas , " how could you? and who is more capable than me? except that Albert Wilson."
when Adrian uttered Albert's name in his mouth , he felt like he would kill that person. that person only competitive person to him. actually he didn't know that Albert was not just competitive person but also his rival. that was in future.
when Adrian said Albert's name in gritting tone , Lucas felt that Adrian was a childish person. he started to think that what would his bestfriend do when he knew that his fiancée trusted Albert more than anyone. also Albert loved Mary and Mary was his beloved sweetheart. That was a secret no one knew until him (Lucas).
Thinking about Albert & Adrian's war made Lucas fully satisfied. He would gloat both of them who mocked him in his childhood. All these things made Lucas happy and he revealed satisfactory bright smile.
Seeing Luca's smile Adrian became slightly suspicious but didn't think much. After a long time, he witnessed Luca's bright smile. But Adrian didn't know that Lucas put this bright smile on his face when he was with Mary & her friends.
"stop smiling. what's the reason of your bright smile?" Adrian asked curiously.
" you will know in future. promise me one thing - don't beat me then. actually you will put more bright smile than me when you'll find that treasure", Lucas replied happily.
When Adrian heard Luca's reply , he didn't feel good. He felt something was missing.
In the meantime Paul ordered a secretary for Lotte & black coffee and sent those to CEO's office. Then he left for investigation. 20 minutes later , a secretary knocked Adrian's office and after getting permission secretary entered Adrian's office and served them. Then she left the room. While Adrian & Lucas enjoyed their drinks , Paul started to ready the crime list of Eva & her family. Actually the list wasn't that bad. They just took advantage of Adrian's power & connection for their business growth and Eva fired some low level employees. So they could control Jones business.
Adrian knew about those fired issues. He always thought that those employees did some bad things in his corporation like Eva said. Also those employees were low level , they didn't have any power so he did what Eva liked. And Brown Family's rapid growth, Adrian let them to take advantage of him because Eva saved Adrian in the past. That saving incident was also big matter still now for Jones Family. Eva was not only saved Adrian but also she faced some disadvantages after that incident. That's why most likely Adrian felt gratitude towards Eva. He felt that Eva that little girl faced that problems because of him.
If Adrian knew that Eva schemed against him and replaced his benefactor for their scheme , then he would destroyed Brown Family for sure. Adrian was walking ruthless devil. But because of gratitude towards Eva , he revealed his gentle side. Actually Adrian was never gonna believe that little Eva would do this kind of calculating work.
Adrian's family had a doubt about saving Adrian and Eva being benefactor. But they couldn't open their mouth because of Adrian. They also wanted Eva to stay away from Adrian but the scheming girl Eva ruined their plan every time.
