Glow In The Dark (B×B) [Book 1 of the Lethal Passion Series]

Chapter 11

"How many more dishes are we left with Trish?" She turned around to give me a wide grin on her face as she held up the container of washed berries.

"The dessert only so we're basically done! Damn...I'm beat. Oh, you should wake Adrian up now. It's 5:10 already." 5:10?! Shit!

Racing up the stairs, I pushed his door open to see him stirring in his sleep, burying his face into his pillow as one of his legs hang at the side of his bed. I really worry about his sleeping posture sometimes. Walking over, I lifted his leg back onto his bed before
shaking him softly.

"Wake up Adrian, you have to wake up already."

"Mhmmm...5 minutes beautiful."

"No Adrian. You have no time already. You have to have dinner with the Robertsons at 6. Your dad said that it was for business purposes so you must attend it."

"Fucking old man...fine...I'll get up. Or not he will come looking for you for trouble." He grumbled sleepily before starting to remove his clothes.

"I'll be waiting for you in the dining room at 5:50."

"Where are you going?"

"Change?"

"Oh...okay."

Leaving his room swiftly, I raced into mine to take a quick wash before throwing on my butler attire and then making my way downstairs to check on Trish. Let's just hope that this dinner goes well.

Adrian's POV:

"Thanks for inviting us over, Lucian." Mr Robertson greeted as Dad opened the door for them.

"No problem, Henry. Please, come in." Once seated at the table, dad motioned at Ryan for the food to be served as Henry stared up and down at Ryan like he was a piece of meat. Take your fucking eyes off him you pig or I'll poke them out like meatballs out of their sockets with a fork.

It wasn't long before he walked out with a tray in his hands, placing the plates in front of us skillfully as he balanced them in ease. He's so perfect in what he does...I'm envious. "Thank you Ryan." I thanked him clearly when he place my plate down in front of me. Unlike the two old men who just nodded slightly and the woman who remained quiet. Tsk. Do they even have proper table manners? I doubt so.

"You're welcome, Young Master." He says politely before stepping aside.

"You may go back now, Ryan." Dad finally spoke up as he shooed Ryan away without sparing him a glance.

"Yes, Master." He bowed slightly before heading back to the kitchen.

Just as it was the last dish, aka dessert, the pig spoke up with a pair of confident beady eyes. "Who is he, Lucian? I've never seen him before." That's because he was doing his job well you idiotic pig and he is my future husband for your information.

"You mean Ryan?" Dad asked him back curiously.

"Yeah."

"He's Adrian's bodyguard and the house butler."

"He's one fine specimen, I will say. How much?"

"What do you mean by how much?"

"How much does he cost? I'll buy him over." He says smugly as he reached into his pocket to grab a cheque.

"He's not-" Dad spoke up to reply but I cut him off immediately. Ryan's mine so I'll reply to that shithead.

"Mr Robertson. Not to be rude but I  suggest you to choose your words wisely before speaking them." I warned him seriously but he dared to laugh it off it front of my face like I'm telling him a joke.

"Don't get so worked up Mr Black. He's just a servant, right? I can just give you one of my best as an exchange." He said nonchalantly with a stupid smirk on his face which is tempting me to slap it off. And what did he call Ryan? Just a servant?! Go to hell you pig! You fucking asshole! Who are you to call Ryan just a servant?

"Ryan is not a servant! I have tolerated enough of your foolish actions already Mr Robertson and to think that I've just warned you about speaking after using your brains. I'm out of here and whatever deal my dad wanted to sign with you is off. I wouldn't want to make a deal with someone who doesnt use their brains and be glad that I'm not punching you. Rumours spread like a fucking hell fire." Unable to control my anger, I lashed out at him without mercy, leaving the three of them stunned at the table. Why look at me stunned? Might as well crap in your pants. I'll be more glad like that.

"Let's go Ryan." Dragging a clueless Ryan out of the kitchen by hand, I made him get behind me on my motorbike before speeding off to who knows where. As long as he's with me, I couldn't care about anything else. All of them can just go and fuck themselves.
