CHAPTER 70: MEETING (3)

The broker who had threatened the manager left his office. He had a very happy look on his face. He was about to get one hundred million dollars from this business. Thinking this he started walking towards the hotel where the manager was staying.

On the way a car stopped in front of him. Seeing this the broker was a little surprised. Then many people got out of the car. They grabbed the broker and pulled him into the car.

After that day the broker was never seen again. No one knew what happened to him.

We see that it is now night. Adam is about to go make dinner. Just then his doorbell rings. He sees that it is none other than the manager.

Adam lets him inside his house. But Adam is very unhappy to see the manager. He does not like that the manager is now staying at his house most of the time. Adam is thinking if Sophia comes here by mistake what will she think. He has already lied to her once.

The manager sits down on the floor. He says "Now tell me what is the next job?" Adam says "I have a very perfect job for you." Hearing this the manager also gets very excited.

With every job Adam gives him he feels more and more like a secret agent. Someone working in the shadows but shaking the entire world with his actions. He was doing things like that.

Adam looked at the manager. "I am very hungry," he said. "Go make food."

The manager was very surprised. He said "I came from so far away. You should be making food but you are telling me."

Adam replied "I did not tell you to come to my flat." Hearing this the manager stood up. He started walking towards the kitchen. Adam thought to himself. At least his coming here saves me one job.

As Adam sat down on the floor the doorbell rang again. Hearing this a look of worry instantly appeared on Adam’s face. Adam knew who could be at his door at this time. The manager was very surprised. He said "Andrew is in Solo City right? Then who has come at this time?"

Saying this the manager started walking towards the door. But Adam suddenly stood up. He came in front of the manager and told him not to open the door. The manager was a little surprised to hear this. Adam quickly went to the door. As soon as he opened it he saw Sophia standing there.

Sophia was holding a container in her hands. She had already made food in it. She had a smile on her face. She looked at Adam and said "I thought you probably had not made dinner yet. So I already made some for you." Adam was very happy to hear this.

Just then the manager came out from behind Adam. He was very surprised to see Sophia standing in front of him.

He looked at Adam and said "Who is this?" Adam looked at Sophia feeling very surprised and scared. Sophia was also very surprised. She looked at the manager Kim and then back at Adam. Her eyes were clearly asking him for an answer. Who is this?

Adam let out a deep breath. He said "This is my friend Kim. We both used to work together at the last hotel." Hearing this the manager looked at Sophia. He extended a hand. Then seeing the container in Sophia’s hand he put a hand on his head and said "Please forgive me. My name is Kim. Why don’t we talk inside?" Adam was even more surprised to hear this.

Sophia was a little uncomfortable. She had thought Adam would be alone. Now she was realizing that someone was at Adam’s house.

And she had come at the wrong time. The manager took the container from Sophia’s hand. The one in which Sophia had made food for Adam.

He gestured for Sophia to come inside and went into the apartment. Sophia also started to go inside behind Kim. Adam was behind Sophia.

In the kitchen the manager put down the container. He looked at Sophia and Adam who had now come inside. Then the manager asked "Are you two in a relationship?"

As soon as Adam and Sophia heard the manager’s question they both spoke at the same time. "No."

Hearing this the manager looked at both of them. He smiled and said "Wow you both said it at the same time. Just like you are a couple." Hearing this Sophia started blushing a lot. She looked down at the ground.

Adam looked at the manager. "Why don’t you go into the room?" he asked. Hearing this the manager said "What are you saying? I will stay here. I also have to check how well your friend cooks." Hearing this Sophia looked at Adam. The manager then looked at Sophia again. "You did not introduce yourself."

Hearing this Sophia shyly said "My name is Sophia. I actually live in the flat next to Adam’s. And I am also a teacher in the same school where Adam teaches." The manager was very surprised to hear this.

He looked at Adam and said "What? You teach in a school?" He was very surprised because with as much money as Adam had why was he teaching in a school? He was about to speak but he saw Adam’s expression. He was looking at Sophia.

The manager smiled. He understood. "Ah now I understand everything," he said. Annoyed Adam said "Can you not go to the room now?" Sophia said "No it’s okay. I have brought enough for both of you to eat." Saying this Sophia said "No I should probably leave now."

The manager said "Oh no wait. You should also eat with us. We will have our meal together." Sophia was very surprised to hear this. The manager moved forward. He came in front of Adam and stood next to Sophia.

He said "Sophia I may have met you for the first time. But I want to know a lot about you. Because I also need to know what Adam..." He could not say much more.
