Chapter 63 Adrian
Jason was awash with exhilaration, a radiant beauty cradled within his arms. "Melody's close ties with Mr. Teeger secured her the business this month," he explained. "But I'll retrieve it for you next month, Emma. I promise you, I will make it happen."Emma responded with a pout, "Mr. Duncan."Just outside the office, a staff member rapped on the door. "Mr. Duncan, Mr. Duncan, Desmond is waiting at the door of Suite 606. He requests your presence."Jason, not in the mood to attend to anything else, barked, "Let him wait!" The window was slightly ajar, allowing the pale blue curtain to ripple in the stillness of the assistant manager's office. A palpable sense of passion hung in the air.Five minutes later, the knock on the door echoed once more, causing Emma to frown in annoyance. "Mr. Duncan."Jason retorted, "Who is it? So irritating! If you have something to say, say it! If not, get lost! Let Desmond wait!""Mr. Duncan, the guest in room 606 requests you..." "Speak!""The guest in room 606 requests your presence!""What?" Jason cursed under his breath.He rose hastily, dressing himself. Emma watched, dissatisfaction etched on her face. "Mr. Duncan, are you really leaving like this? Who dares to call on you in such a manner?"Jason pinched Emma's waist, "Be good, wait for me. I want to see who dares to stir up trouble on my turf."With that, he rushed out.Upon Jason's entrance, Desmond greeted him with a smile that was more of a plea. "Jason, you finally arrived. It's these people! Today, you need to help me out."Jason raised an eyebrow, glancing around the private room. "Who dares to stir up trouble on my turf? Desmond, don't worry, I'll teach these people a lesson today!"His voice abruptly halted.Jason's gaze fell upon the man lounging on the dark red leather sofa, his legs trembling. Desmond had landed him in hot water. Jason's face blanched as he approached with forced politeness. "Mr. Howard, Mr. Lawson, Mr. Cook, I apologize for my subordinates' lack of awareness of your presence and any disturbance it may have caused."Desmond observed Jason's swift change in demeanor and adopted a humble expression. He nudged Jason anxiously, gesturing at Adrian, "Jason, what's going on? It's this man!"Jason resisted the urge to slap Desmond. "Shut up! Do you realize who you've offended? Mr. Howard might let it slide, but otherwise, not even your grandfather can protect you!" Desmond was such a fool!Mr. Howard?Desmond's eyes widened in panic.This was Adrian?Adrian's gaze turned frosty. "Jason, you seem quite influential here. It appears that Imperial Nightclub has been thriving, and you have been performing well as the assistant manager."Jason dropped to his knees immediately. "Mr. Howard, please don't joke with me. I was in the wrong today. I will rectify this matter promptly and ensure you're not disturbed again."Adrian closed his eyes lightly, as if to rest, and spoke in a calm tone. "Then leave. Handle it properly. I don't want to see this dog again."
