Chapter 102.1

Third Person’s POV

Two weeks have passed.

The accident that happened in the CUR8 mall has never leaked through the media. But Nocturne, who was keeping a close eye on the Crimson Meadow’s CEO has heard the accident. He planned to take his revenge, but he thinks it won’t be good to fight against Adira anymore since she has more card to use. And so, he stopped pursuing the unbeatable leader.

Many days passed by and finally, it was time for Adira to go out of the hospital. Oddly, she recovered so fast unlike other patients who underwent the same head injury. Her doctor even joked that she might be from a tiger clan since she healed so quickly.

As this will be the day of her discharge, two men waited for her outside her room.

Who are these two men?

Basically, they are the two guys who keep going back and forth in this place for long two weeks. Hansel said that Adira would recover if they were here, since all they do is fight in front of Adira. To solve that, the guys decided to come on separate days.

Now, the hectic visits will end.

When Hansel opened the door of the room, she and Adira saw Geoffrey and Chadwick waiting outside.

It seems that even on the last day, they won’t stop bothering Adira.

“Hansel,” Adira called while staring at the two men smiling at her. “I clearly told you to discreet the day of my discharge.”

Her secretary nodded her head. “I did my best to keep it a secret ma’am.” Then she ogled back to her boss. “But it seems their Intel to get information is strong.”

Well, if it is the CEO of Wine&Vibe and the soon-to-be chairman of CUR8 corporation, then it is possible for them to buy information at ease.

“I know you two are both excited to see me,” Adira said, flipping her red hair like someone who knows she’s pretty.

Hansel would agree to that. Her boss is indeed pretty. And in fact, it was Hansel who suggested to Adira that there’s no wrong in trying to know who’s better between Chadwick and Geoffrey. Still, seeing her act like a queen kinda embarrassed her a bit. And so, she titled her head on the other side and swallowed the embarrassment.

“But why do you have to come at the day of my discharge?”

“I came here so I can help you with your luggage,” Chadwick said.

“Or if you are still feeling weak, you can lean on me while walking,” Geoffrey offered.

Like a real queen, Adira lifted her chin and looked downward to the two men who seems ready to lick her feet if she wants. Well, she can’t blame them for acting so overprotective after the incident. Until now, the two must be still in shock after seeing her collapse in front of them.

However, even if Adira enjoys getting this special treatment from two handsome men, she does not want to appear dependent. After all, Adira is Adira. That did not change even after the accident.

Raising her brow, Adira opened her lips and said with a grin, “I think you forgot who I am.”

At the words, multiple guards wearing black suits and earpieces came marching. There was no one in the empty hallway of the VIP wards but the aura they have was overwhelming, as if there is a great shock wave flowing in the air as they marched forward.

Soon, these strong looking men with bulky bodies perfect for their role as bodyguards, stood in front of them. Then, they bowed their heads.

“Greetings to the lady of Hale!” They greeted with utmost respect.

Geoffrey and Chadwick looked alternately at Adira and the guards. Just now, she really seems the daughter of a billionaire, but the look on her face has the expression of a gang leader instead.

‘I think she can play the role of being a mafia queen,’ thoughts played on the two men’s heads. When they looked at each other, they somehow read each other’s thoughts and were convinced that they shared the same idea.

“I am thankful for your willingness to take care of me,” Adira said to the two.

Geoffrey and Chadwick diverted their eyes to her.

“But I apologized that I don’t need any of it. My father sent enough men to bring my things.”

She swayed her red hair and walked confidently at the center, along with the men in black who walks on each of her sides. Hansel followed right after.

Seeing Adira walked away, the two men just realized that they gained another competitor to get her attention. And this competitor is the strongest above all.

“If it is her father then we don’t have a chance to win,” Geoffrey said with a chuckle.

Chadwick nodded his head and agreed, “Right. He’s a very strong opponent.”

Even so, they are happy that Adira and her father grew closer after this incident. Adira seems to smile genuinely and happy whenever she’s with her father. Although it is still hard to be comfortable around the old man, she’s noticeably trying her boss, as much as Falcon does.

As Adira’s back faded when she turned into the right side, the two men tilted their heads to look at each other.

“It’s been a long time since I saw you,” Geoffrey said to Chadwick.

“What long? We just saw each other yesterday,” Chadwick rebuked.

Geoffrey chuckled while nodding his head. “Yeah. And we’re always fighting over Adira.”

“Hey, you look like you are having fun.”

“Sort of. Anyway, what I mean is… it’s been a long time since we talk.”

At his words, Chadwick’s beams faded. They fought a lot over Adira and bickered. But until now, they haven’t talked about their misunderstanding in the past.

“Will there be a time when we can talk?” Geoffrey asked.

For a very long time, Chadwick was the one who wished for it to happen. Seeing that Geoffrey is offering, that means he’s really ready to fix their past. And although Geoffrey is a competitor in love, Chadwick has no plan of declining the offer. Because above all, he was a real friend of the past.

“Sure. I’ll be glad,” Chadwick replied.
