Yes, he was the son of a close friend of mine, but I did not really get to know him. I first noticed him after he began working here," Watson falsely claimed, paying close attention to Adrian's composed expression.
He wondered what was going on in Adrian's mind or if he was suspicious of him.
The thought of getting caught alarmed Watson wrongly and he gulped in dread.
"I think I can bat this," Adrian said as he straightened up on the chair.
Watson gives Adrian a startled look, who in turn laughs at him.
"Mr. Watson, you have not revealed why you are here yet," Adrian said, cutting off all other questions.
Watson was there to talk to Emerson about the contract termination, but he was now too afraid to talk to Adrian about it.
'It's not safe to talk about it just now, not after Adrian is doubting me' Watson pondered to himself.
