Adam was quiet for a moment.The sentence was heavier than it seemed. It wasn't just two clients that were lost, but two important clients.Gerald's importance to Havenridge hardly needed explaining.The Calloway Group was larger and represented nearly twice Gerald's revenue. A firm that had been one of Havenridge's earliest major clients, predating Adam's arrival entirely.Losing them wasn't just a revenue gap but also a large obvious wound to Havenridge's finance and reputation."Did they give a reason?" Adam asked.“Calloway didn't cite anything. Just sent the notice.""That's not the same as Gerald.""No," Melissa agreed. "Gerald told us the truth because he felt he owed us that much. Calloway didn't explain anything." She paused. "Which usually means they can't.”Adam called the two clients later that afternoon.Not to beg or ask for a reconsideration but to tell them that the doors of Havenridge would remain open to them.The rest of the day passed quietly till Melissa came to h

The Metro Business & Property Alliance event was a place Adam had no business being in three months ago. But just a week after the clash with the Lacoste's, Adam found himself there. A "Metro Business & Property Alliance" mixer, the invitation had called it. Adam had gotten an invite through a Victor Hammond, the former owner of Titan Maintenance. The older man had given it to Adam since he was already retired; though Adam felt it was more like he wanted Adam to really build an influence. The clash with the Lacoste family’s consortium showed that it want enough to have clients but also have people he could turn to whenever he needed assistance. Not quite trust but as a helping hand since he was not stable enough to stand alone. Standing by the entrance of the large hall, Adam adjusted the sleeves of his black suit jacket and walked in like he belonged there. If there was one thing the system had taught him better than anything else, it was that: nobody questions a man wh

The air had begun to grow chilly as the end of the year approached. The leaves had already thrown off the shade of green to embrace more darker colors.It was under these conditions that Adam kept running his businesses.He didn't make much of a power move at the moment since his last issue showed his shaky foundations.But he didn't let Havenridge and Titan stop their growth either.Riding the game from the clash with the Lacoste’s, Adam made the property management and the maintenance company search for bigger contracts.They could now get meetings they couldn't get before.It seemed like a nice reward for coming out on top but it still wasn't easy for them.While getting the meetings had become easier, actually winning the contract was difficult.According to Melissa, it had become more difficult than before.It was no surprise to Adam when he began hearing grumblings from the executives of Titan, there was nothing they could do, but he paid it no mind for now.So, it was expected

Olivia's lecture had already ended by the time Adam reached the building, but she was exactly where she said she'd be; sitting on the low stone wall outside and scrolling her phone with patience.She had the look of someone who'd learned not to expect punctuality.So it wasn’t unexpected when, Olivia looked up.Turned her eyes back to her watch, then looked back at him."Who are you?"Adam blinked."What?""You're early."She narrowed her eyes."Did someone steal Adam Wilson and replace him with a responsible adult? Should I be worried?""I'm exactly on time.""For you, that's early." She finally noticed whatever was left on his face from the hallway conversation. "Rough afternoon?""Group project stuff. Derek thinks I've been using the company as an excuse to dodge responsibility.""Has he met you? You don't dodge responsibility. You just collect way too much of it and then act surprised when it crushes you." She hopped off the wall, falling into step beside him. "Is he wrong, though
