Chapter 108: George
Hearing Locks' words and seeing that Locks had cut his call the manager remained silent for a few moments. On the other hand Adam also became completely silent.
He had heard all of these conversations with the help of the One-Click Billionaire app. But then Adam remembered something important.
Then he shouted at the manager through his own phone "I told you to find out his name and more information about him." Then the manager who was still in shock after the intense call after hearing Adam's angry words came back to the present time.
And he said very surprised "Stop shouting at me. And you should see what a big deal I have just achieved. It could have taken us years to get this kind of an opportunity. But I have gotten you a billion dollar deal in just a few weeks." Hearing this Adam also calmed down a little.
And then Adam said calmly "The deal that you are talking about. It is not a deal at all. But it is a well thought out trap. Although because of him giving us such a higher amount now this man will not be able to destroy us directly." Hearing this the manager was very surprised.
He said to Adam "You are repeatedly talking about a trap. But I don't see any kind of a trap in this situation." Hearing this Adam let out a deep breath again.
And he said "Listen to me very carefully. This is because this is a long and complicated game. A venture capital firm has to generate a real profit. Wherever it invests its money. And that too it has to do it for a long period of time." After hearing this the manager was very surprised.
Then he said to Adam "But I still don't understand how this is a trap." Hearing this Adam became very annoyed.
And he said to the manager "How can you guarantee the generation of that much money when you don't even know much about the market in the Empire?" Then the manager said "But what is the need for me to know about the market when you can just send me continuous money from your end?" Hearing this Adam suddenly became silent.
And he realized that even after having infinite ways to generate money he was getting tensed over such a small and insignificant thing. These kinds of things did not matter to Adam at all. Because he had the technology to generate as much money as he wanted whenever he wanted.
Hearing this Adam suddenly smiled. And he said "I had completely forgotten about that. Please forgive me." Then the manager said again "Now you have put me to sleep a lot. Now you should praise me a little too. My ears are longing to hear my praise." After hearing this Adam said "You did a very good job." And saying this he immediately cut the call.
The manager was very surprised. And shouting at his phone he said "Such a small and insignificant praise." And he was about to call Adam back. But then he stopped himself.
He felt that he should not bother Adam anymore. And as he was thinking this he remembered one more thing. And he immediately called Adam again. But Adam did not pick up his call.
Adam had also closed the Click Billionaire app. And he now lay down on Annie's bed. He knew what the manager wanted to ask him. He wanted to know how did he know what was happening.
And especially how did he get his office phone number. He did not want to give any kind of a clarification on this right now. Because he did not have any good excuse that he could give to the manager for this.
As soon as Adam lay down on the bed the door of the room opened. From where Annie came.
And seeing Adam she shouted and said "You cannot sleep on my bed. How many times have I told you this?" After hearing this Adam said "I am not sleeping on your bed." But before any more conversation could happen between them Rachel came from behind.
And she said "Adam I want you to meet someone." Hearing this Adam was very surprised. And he thought in his mind "So soon? I did not think that my stepmother would contact Samantha's family so soon." But Adam did not think much about it at this time.
And nodding his head he started to leave from there. Annie was watching from behind. She was very surprised. She was thinking that Adam knew everything. And despite that why was Adam still listening to Rachel's words.
In the beginning Annie was very surprised to see Adam. It had seemed so easy to her parents to manipulate Adam.
But she knew it would not be so easy. As much as Annie had been able to talk to Adam and get to know him. She knew that Adam was planning something of his own. Although Annie had not told her parents about this.
Because anyway her mother would not take her words very seriously. Annie did not want to get involved in all of these complicated things. She just wanted to live a normal life. Where no one would disturb her.
The scene shifts. And we see Adam and Rachel coming downstairs. And they came to the hall. Where Adam saw that his father Ricky was talking to another man. Adam saw that man.
And he was very surprised. Because that man was none other than Samantha's father George.
Rachel said from behind "George I want you to meet someone. This is my eldest son Adam. The one whom I was praising so much." Hearing this George's attention shifted from Ricky to Rachel first.
And hearing Rachel's words he looked at Adam who was coming behind Rachel. And smiling he extended his hand forward. To meet Adam.
Adam also extended his hand forward and met George. Ricky was not looking at Adam. But he was looking somewhere else. George then said "It was very nice to meet you Adam. I have heard a lot of praise about you from your mother. You are very lucky to have such wonderful parents." Hearing this Adam was a little surprised.
He had kept an eye on both Rachel and Ricky. Because his plan already included something else entirely. That is why he was completely ignoring these small things.
At the same time Adam was also very surprised. He looked at Rachel.
And he thought "I am really very surprised." He had thought that his stepmother would directly go and start talking about his and Samantha's relationship.
But that did not happen. Instead Rachel was indirectly introducing Adam to George. He did not know what his stepmother was really thinking.
Adam's goal for now was just to meet Samantha. And to include her in his own plan. He had no plan to marry Samantha at all. Although he also did not know what his future would be.
That is why he could not say anything for sure about his future right now. If his marriage was destined to happen with Samantha. Then he would not even refuse it. Because he still felt that Sophia did not like him in a romantic way.
He thought that she just saw him as a good friend. And nothing more than that. While shaking hands with George Adam said "I am also very happy to meet you." Hearing this George smiled.
And he said "You are a very well-mannered young man." Hearing this Adam realized that George still had a soft spot for his stepmother in his heart. The same soft spot which he had also read about in the report. Knowing this Adam smiled. And he said "I feel as if you already know my mother from before." After hearing this Rachel was very surprised.
And she looked at Adam. She was thinking in her mind "How did Adam know that?" Ricky was also very surprised. Then George smiled. He said "Actually your mother and I used to study together in the same school. That's why you must be feeling like that." Hearing this Adam smiled.
And he said "Oh. Then you have known my mother for a very long time. That's a very good thing." But George was very impressed.
By Adam noticing such a small thing.
Then George said "I am very impressed with you. Because Rachel has told me many things about you. And she was not wrong. When she was saying that you are very smart. In the beginning I thought that she was over-praising you a lot. Just because you are her son." Hearing this Adam was a little surprised.
And he thought "What? Did his mother not tell him that he was a stepson. And not her real son?" After hearing this Adam looked at Rachel. Rachel looked away from Adam and looked at George. She did not think that it was necessary to tell George anything about this.
