When Adrian heard all the reasoning from Lucas , he felt someone betrayed him again. He became speechless for one minute. after one minute later , he somehow gained some speech back. so he asked Lucas again.
" are you sure that my grandma's distance relatives involved in this? even if they involved what was the reason behind this? as far I know they can't enter main house main house of ours. they can only entered main house when we celebrate something or grandpa summoned them. why I can't understand this situation?"
Adrian asked Lucas with frustrating tone.
"relax buddy. calm your mind. today I'm not gonna talk to you about your grandma's distance relatives. you know something about them. those are the reason they can't enter main house of yours. today is enough for both of us. actually I just felt tired because of Mark's situation. lunch time is up so I think you should eat a healthy lunch and then take a long nap. calm your mind and think about today's report about Eva. those topics are off limit for now." Lucas said calmly.
" I understand. you're right. today we faced a lot of reports. I should think about your situation. I'm sorry." Adrian said.
"it's okay. take care of yourself." Lucas replied.
" let's go for lunch , right?" Adrian said.
"okay. in your cafeteria. let's go." Lucas said.
Although Lucas wanted to calm Adrian's mind , Adrian was already restless inside. but he still followed his bestfriend's suggestion.
They both arrived 15th floor which was the luxurious cafeteria for highest level employees and board of directors (if they wanted to join) and sometimes for CEO Adrian Jones. Here you got healthy, also luxurious food. Jones Corporation selected some reputed chef for this cafeteria. Because health was everything that's the belief grandpa Jones followed.
Adrian & Lucas completed their lunch within 30 minutes and reached Adrian's office. They didn't talk each other except for giving food order with in the whole time. actually both of them wanted calm their mind.
When both of them reach Adrian's office, Lucas stayed there 15 minutes more to console Adrian. After 15 minutes later , Lucas left Adrian office.
After Lucas left Adrian's office, Adrian fell on a deep thought. He started to think that how Eva entered his life and how he, Adrian almost destroyed his life if his fiancée didn't involve in his life. Adrian felt that he played like a puppet under the spell of the whole Brown Family. Thinking about these, his anger level increased and he started to smash wall like punching bag.
How could he become so idiot? He was proud of his IQ but now he was ashamed of his high IQ. Having high IQ all the time, he still played like this. if anyone here about this situation, they would probably laugh for three days & nights.
Adrian couldn't calm his mind after all of this incident. He couldn't figure out how he became like this. Someone betrayed him easily and he couldn't calm his mind. After thinking a lot , Adrian decided he would go Jones Family's main house to talk his parents & grandpa. Otherwise he wouldn't handle business for a long time and that would be dangerous for Jones Corporation.
He still couldn't believe that he thought his fiancée was a greedy after listing Eva's word. How much Eva affected his works and his life? not only that also she created a false persona of him to the social circle & normal citizens through internet. Because of this not only he suffered also his close friend suffered like two days ago's internet trolls.
He now started to think how much his friends suffered because of Eva's company and also those women who ruined because of her. All of the incidents caused a heavy guilt in his mind and Adrian could not reduced his guilt; but it increased level by level after he started thinking of Eva's work.
Now he was in dilemma how he was gonna face his friends and family. He was now cursing himself to believe Eva that easily and not listen his grandfather's warning. Because of that warning they quarreled a lot and it stained their relationship. Also fiancée matter was one of the reason they started quarreling each other that time.
Now it's time to mend all of those distances between him and his relatives because of Eva's slow scheming process. After thinking all sorts of plan , he stick to his most effective plan - apologize his relatives with sincerity.
Then He called Paul and told him to clear his schedule for today and if anything needed , he would inform him through Tony. After that he called Tony and told him to come his office.
Tony arrived Adrian's office within 20 minutes because he was busy with Mary's work ( we'll know that later). Seeing Tony , Adrian told him to collect Eva's report of investigation and all the business report and also important files.
After few minutes later both Adrian and Tony left Adrian's office room and Adrian ordered Paul to handle things clearly for today or untill he came. Then both Adrian & Tony left for Jones Family's main house to meet Adrian's parents and grandpa.
-------------------------------------
On the other side Lucas arrived White Corporation and told his secretary to clear his schedule for today and tomorrow. If any important issues came , his secretary was told to inform his father or his elder cousin to handle this.
He (Lucas) needed more time to digest the whole Eva matter. although he acted cool in front Adrian, he was shocked to receive such calculating news of Eva. He acted that time that he guessed all of this Eva but main reason was he didn't want to Adrian feel bad himself. if Adrian knew that he didn't know all of this , he would become guilty.
But he didn't know that Adrian already started to blame himself for all of those Eva's work.
Although Lucas didn't know Brown Family & Eva's works , he had a hunch that Eva was a scheming girl and rotten in her core. Eva , she would anything for achieving hers goal. But Lucas didn't know that she would stoop this level. Lucas himself started to blame for not caring his friend's wellbeing.
