The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 88 - Groceries with a Young Master's Lackey
Adam's shopping list contained exactly seven items.Olivia had sent him out on Sunday Morning with a warning that said “Don't improvise, just get what's on the list”Adam didn't exactly blame her. She'd seen what happened the last time he'd "improvised" during grocery shopping and, according to her, he was a menace.Adam slightly disagreed.Therefore, he'd promised he wouldn't improvise… much.The supermarket existed in the gap between a convenience store and a full supermarket. It wasn't large enough to be overwhelming, and not small enough to be limited, but with the slightly cramped aisles and aggressively cheerful Christmas music of a place that had decided December meant committing fully to a theme regardless of how anyone felt about it.Adam took a basket, pulled up Olivia's list on his phone, and started at the produce section.It was a Sunday morning, which meant the store was at its most peaceful.A handful of people doing errands for the new week, an elderly woman comparing
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 87 – Saturday Calls
Adam had intended to spend Saturday working again but Olivia objected almost immediately.The couple then reached a compromise.Adam would work from his girlfriend's place.The city was bustling that evening. Buses growled somewhere beyond the apartment block, someone below was arguing over a parking space, and somewhere down the street a church choir was rehearsing Christmas hymns.It all reached the apartment as noise softened through the windows.Olivia sat cross-legged on the sofa with a textbook open on her lap.The textbook had been open for nearly fifteen minutes but she hadn't turned a page.Adam was in the kitchen making coffee with the confusion of someone who had absolutely no idea where anything belonged.He opened one cupboard.Plates.Another cupboard.Spices.A third."...How many cupboards do you even own?"Without looking up from her book, Olivia said, "Second one from the left.""I was checking if you knew." Adam laughed in mild embarrassment."You weren't.""Right.
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 86 - Moving forward
After the call ended where Adam set up a meeting time with Osei, he took a minute to reflect before calling for Melissa.."Close your door," he said when she picked up. "Then immediately come to my office."She arrived within a minute.Adam saw her questioning look upon entering so he walked her through the new information. He didn't go into the full details but made sure the important parts were successfully passed. Melissa listened without interrupting, which she only did when the information was significant enough that interrupting would cost her something. When he finished she looked at her notebook, then at him."The bank analyst," she said. "If that arrangement is still active and we can demonstrate it—""The review doesn't just close," Adam said. "It closes in our favor and someone at the bank has to face a significant problem.""Do we have enough proof to demonstrate it?""Not yet. But since Osei has the description, we would need to precisely search for a name and we need to
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 85 - The Crack
Adam was at his desk working through the daily cash position report with focus. The number was the same unfortunate number it had been yesterday. He was annotating it when his phone lit up with a name he didn't recognize. There was the slight intention to let the call go to voicemail but you never know when the important call comes so Adam picked up. "Mr. Wilson." The voice was male, mid-forties, the person seemed to be choosing his words before they left his mouth. "My name is Osei. I work… sorry, I used to work in a coordination capacity for the Korlan Group." Adam set his pen down. "I'm listening," he said. *** Three weeks earlier, while Melissa had been building the shadow file and Adam had been managing the other issues plaguing the company, he'd been doing something else quietly on the side. It had started with Reid. When Melissa pulled the access logs and identified Reid as the source of the data leak, Adam had spent a night thinking about the chain. Riley ha
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 84 - The Longest Week (2)
On Thursday, Adam began to make his move.He'd been thinking about it since the meeting with Jasper at Orlen, examining it from different angles. He wasn't the kind of person who moved on instinct alone. He liked to know what he was picking up before he picked it up.But the mistake on Wednesday had clarified something.He was running out of days to wait for the right moment.The right moment was now, or it was after the end of the year, and after the end of the year was too late.The few days left weren't long enough to absorb another week of deliberation.So Adam decided to go over Jasper's head.Not to Kelvin.Kelvin was the engine of this. Adam suspected it was already personal to the heir, the kind of man who had decided Adam was a statement he needed to make and had been making it for two months regardless of the cost.Going to Kelvin was pointless. Kelvin already knew everything there was to know about his own operation and had decided it was worth running.The person worth ca
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 83 - The Longest Week (1)
It started on Monday, two weeks left till the end of the year, with a number. The number was neither dramatic nor special. It was just a figure sitting in the wrong column of the daily cash position report Melissa had sent that morning. It was small enough that it could have been a rounding error and large enough that it wasn't. Adam stared at it for a couple of seconds before forwarding it to Melissa with a single question mark. Her reply came in three minutes. “It’s not a rounding error. The Hendrick partial payment we were expecting didn't clear overnight. I'm looking into it already.” Adam put his phone down and got dressed. He could already see how the week would be. * By the time he reached the office, the issue was clearer and considerably worse. Hendrick Properties hadn't just delayed the partial payment, they'd withdrawn it entirely. Technically it wasn't canceled, but when the payment was pulled back and left in a pending status, that meant it existed on p
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer 6 - A complicated meeting
The new place was far better than Adam's former living area which didn't say much considering the price he paid for it.It had a wide living area. The floor was tiled edge-to-edge, each piece evenly laid without cracks or uneven lines. The walls were clean and uniformly painted white.A wooden stai
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer 5 - Adjust your policy
Walking on the busy sidewalk with a backpack sling over his arm, Adam thought about his actions towards Roberts.He didn't exactly regret speaking his mind but he had acted fully on emotions which was unlike him."Arrogance system, huh?" he muttered."Leaving Roberts place is for the best but was i
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer Chapter 4 - Buy a wig
In a room where the furniture consisted of only a small bed, a table and a small sized wardrobe, a young man lay on the bed uncaring about the water dripping of his dark hair onto the small bed.If someone else was in the room, they would be surprised at how the young man kept staring into space.O
The Arrogance System: I Become Richer 3 - An arrogant parasite
The restaurant — Benji's Kitchen— was the same way Adam had left it though the jeers and mocking laughter had died down.Adam's arrival, however, had reignited the flame."What is he doing here again?" "Has lack of nutrients caused him to run mad."Walking with a confidence he had never had before
