“Don’t waste your time chasing after a cripple. Adrian’s position is precarious. Why not aim higher and set your sights on someone like Hiram Watts?” The other woman chortled.
The fiery indignation roiling within Ciara was about to boil over. They even dared to belittle their boss.
Ciara’s voice turned frosty as she spoke. “Mr. Lewis was recently in a car accident and is still recovering. Yet, you two find it fitting to start spreading rumors. Do you not fear your words may reach his ears? After all, Adrian is the eldest son of the Lewis family. Who do you think you are to gossip about him?”
One of the women, still unconvinced, retorted, “So what if he’s an Lewis? He’s just disabled. With Mr. Andrew Lewis entering SJ Entertainment, Adrian will soon be ousted.”
Ciara couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. “Andrew? That buffoon is no match for Adrian. If he ever takes over the company, he’ll run it into the ground.”
The two women stared at Ciara in disbelief. “Are you insane? How could you say something like that about Mr. Andrew Lewis?”
“Believe it or not.” Ciara didn’t want to waste any more breath on them. She quickly washed her hands and made a hasty exit from the restroom.
At night, the Lewis family’s mansion was brightly lit.
Adrian sat at his desk scrutinizing documents with a pen in hand. A massive screen perched on the wall in front of him displayed a video call in progress. Horace’s face flickered on the screen as he reported work.
With a frown on his face, Horace hesitated, as if he had something more to say.
When Adrian glanced up, he caught sight of the uncertain fook on Horace’s face and understood there was more to be discussed.
Adrian hurled the pen away, pinching his nose, and asked, “What’s on your mind? Speak up.”
Horace took a deep breath and gingerly stated, “Everyone in the office is murmuring about your accident and disability. They are spreading rumors behind your back.”
Adrian, unfazed, took a sip of water and replied in an indifferent voice, “Let them. Gossip is just that, no more.”
Horace didn’t stop there. “And, Ms. Mitchell spoke in your favor today,” he revealed.
Curiosity piqued, Adrian leaned forward. “Really? What did she say?” he asked, his eyes glistening with interest.
Horace repeated Ciara’s comments, which he had found out about through his network of insiders.
“Andrew is no match for me…” Adrian’s face lit up with a smile. “Did she really say that?”
Horace hesitated before speaking, carefully selecting his words. “That’s what she meant.”
He finally answered Adrian’s question, although he believed the main point of Ciara’s comments was to criticize Andrew, and not to praise his boss. Despite this, Horace felt he could not say that, and so he skirted around the issue.
Adrian’s expression relaxed, pleased with Ciara’s staunch support.
As they wrapped up their conversation, a faint sound coming from outside the door interrupted their discussion.
Adrian signaled to Horace that it was time to end the video call. “Let’s call it a day,” he whispered in a hushed tone. “If there’s anything important that comes up, don’t hesitate to inform me, especially if it’s regarding Ciara,” he added, his voice serious and deliberate.
“Yes, sir.”

“Yes, sir.”
That night, Ciara returned home completely fagged out. She didn’t have the appetite or strength to have dinner, so she went straight to her room. She took a hot shower and planned to go to bed extra early.
But as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw someone in her room.
“Adrian! What are you doing in my room?”
Ciara asked, startled.
“Your room? This is my house, so all the rooms in it are mine!” Adrian sneered, wheeling himself to the table. He poured himself a cup of tea and took the first sip. “Tell me how your first day at work went.”
Ciara could bet on it that Adrian was the one who asked Donna to make her clean the storage room. She sneered at him and said, “Why should I? After all, you already know how it went!”
“How is that possible?” Adrian gave her a faint smile and asked, “Do you need my help?”
