e turned to look at Farrah, who was shocked. Was Philip that superstitious?
drian found the whole thing ridiculous but was still curious. He fixed his gaze on Farrah, not giving her le chance to lie to him as he asked, “So, what did you do on that day?”
he started recalling what had happened the day she and Philip had met. It had been a regular morning- arrah had left her apartment for her morning run.
uddenly, she’d heard someone shouting about a thief. She’d seen a man running in her direction with a ag in his hands, so she’d stretched out a leg to trip him without even thinking about what she was doing. ust then, a walking cane had appeared out of nowhere, stopping beside her outstretched foot. Together, rey’d made the thief trip and fall flat on his face. Just like that, she and Philip had met for the first time iter doing a good deed.

arrah didn’t know what to say. This marriage was ridiculous, to say the least. After a while, she mustered. le courage to say, “Adrian, I want to ask for your help with something.”
e didn’t respond, nor did he open his eyes. She knew he was listening, though. She continued, “I want my doptive parents to get divorced; it’s also what Mom wants. Do you know any good lawyers who can help ith this?”

e returned to his senses, keeping his eyes shut as he said, “I’m not going to interfere in your family’s atters.”
arrah fell silent. She knew that even though they were married and Philip adored her, Adrian himself dn’t like her. She had no right to ask him for favors, and he had every right to reject her.
e was the CEO of Prestige Group–how could he have time to help her handle her personal matters? He as too busy for things like that. So, she didn’t say anything else.
fter a while, Adrian said, “My mother wants to meet you.”

arrah was evidently taken aback. She turned to look at him. He continued, “Prepare eeting. We’re heading to Locke Manor for dinner tonight.

“Since I’ve already given you a card, I suggest you buy a few outfits you You represent me, too.”
She understood what he meant. “Okay. I’ll go buy something now.”
