Chapter 61: Unfaithful Friend
"Argh!!!" Charles growled angrily before flinging his phone away.
"It's the fifth time he had tried Xavier's number to ask him how he got those photos that he sent to him but Xavier's phone was switched off.
As he was panting angrily while thinking about the image he heard a knock on his door but he remained silent while panting angrily, after some minutes the knock resounded again but still he didn't reply and with that the door gently opened and the secretary who had been knocking slowly walked in only to see the angry Charles sitting on his tattered desk his eyes boring into her with an icy glare.
Once she saw how Xavier was glaring at her, she flinched back in fear and immediately her heart started pounding heavily.
"Who asked you to come in?" Charles asked her with a cold but intimidating tone.
"Actually I knocked twice but you didn't reply, I thought you didn't hear it," the secretary said to Charles while stammering in fear.
"Who asked you to come in?" Charles repeated the question once again while peering into her eyeballs sending cold shivers down her spine.
"No-no-one," she stammered while avoiding Charles gaze.
"Then why are you in here?" Charles asked her with an icy glare but she remained silent unable to utter a word while clutching the files Charles had asked her to get to her chest.
"Get out," Charles said to her with a cold tone.
"Yes, sir for coming inside without your...
"I said get out," Charles barked angrily causing her flinch in fear, without thinking twice she rushed out of the office and with that Charles sighed heavily and was about to stand up from the desk when his door bursted open once again.
"I thought I said get out," he tried barked again thinking that it was his secretary but contrary to what he thought it was Adrian who came in.
Once he saw in which state Charles'office was, he jaw dropped in surprise.
"What the hell man, what happened here?" Adrian asked Charles but he ignored him before getting down from his desk and picking up the documents and files he had tossed ground.
"Man I'm asking you a question why aren't you saying anything?" Adrian asked him sighting his phone he had tossed to the side of the wall.
"I'm not saying anything because I don't want to talk about it," Charles said to Adrian while backing him and picking up the document and files on the ground and arranging them on his table.
Without uttering a word to him, he walked to where the phone was laying on the floor and picked it up only to notice that the screen had already shattered but at least he could still see what was on the screen because the phone was still on.
"Is it because of this?" Adrian asked him before showing him the image on the phone and with that Charles turned around and once he saw what he was showing him, he huffed before bending down and picking up the remaining documents on the ground.
"I thought you said you were no longer in love with her?" Adrian asked Charles and immediately he scoffed angrily before around to look at Adrian, his burning in anger.
"Seems like you love hearing me repeating the same thing over and over again, I have said this and I will say it again, I'm not in f**king love with her," Charles said to him with a gritted teeth.
"Really? Then why are you so worked up just because of this?" Adrian asked him before showing him the phone once again.
"If you aren't in love with her, then you shouldn't even be affected by any of this," Adrian said to Charles who scoffed at his statement.
"It seems like you haven't gotten it already, I'm the only one who is supposed to have her complete attention, that's my mission man, if she's sharing the attention with someone else, then how am I supposed to get what I want in order to earn my freedom? Do you know what, I'm not in the mood for this, I'm going to take care of this shit before it gets out of hand," Charles said to him before grabbing his suit and car keys and walking to the door while shoving him off the road.
"Where are you going?" Adrian asked him as he opened the door and was about to walk out.
"What do you care? Get someone to clean up all this mess or can you can also clean it up, after all you share this office with me," Charles said to him before walking out of the office.
"I swear this guy is in love with Sarah and he is going to get himself into trouble if he doesn't cease this rubbish he is doing," Adrian muttered to himself before walking to his desk and picking up the documents laying on the ground beside the table.
"I have to stop him, but how do I do it, should I tell the old man about it?" Adrian asked himself before collapsing on Adrian's chair and placing his two legs on the desk.
"I think I will tell him," he said to himself before taking his phone and placing a across the old man who picked up after some minutes of ringing.
"Hey old man, his are you doing?" Adrian asked him through the phone.
"Adrian, I thought I have told you to stop calling me that, I'm your father for crying out loud," the old man shouted through the phone.
"Yeah, the same father who hides from everyone that I'm his son," Adrian said to him.
"Come on Adrian, you know I'm doing it for your own good," the old man said to him.
"Whatever Dad, actually I have something very important to tell you," Adrian said to him.
"Okay what is it?" The old man asked him.
"Before telling you, I need you to promise me something," Adrian said to him.
"Okay what is it you want me to promise you this time around," the old man asked him.
"I want you to promise me that no one is going to hear about what I'm about to tell you, not even the person in question," Adrian said to him.
"Okay,I promise," the old man said to him.
"Perfect, I wanted to inform you that...
