Dustin observed what was going on at the front desk on the security feed on his screen.
Adrian arrived at the front desk.
"Mr. Pierce, you're here." The receptionist nodded at Adrian, and Adrian nodded back.
Crispin and the driver, Nicholas Olson, assessed Adrian.
"What a self-important person the general manager of Duscia Corporation is! How dare you make Mr. Tonra wait downstairs?" Nicholas asked in displeasure.
Adrian did not spare the driver a single glance. He could not be bothered to speak with an insignificant staff member.
If Dustin had not given him the orders, he would have chased these two out already.
"You're the general manager of Duscia Corporation, Adrian Pierce, yes?" Crispin looked at Adrian contemptuously.
"I've never heard of the Pierce family having a person with your name. You're quite capable of fooling the families of Hattan so easily with the same last name." Thinking that he had dirt on Adrian, Crispin smiled very tauntingly.
"What are you here for?" Adrian asked with a smile. He did not bother to answer Crispin directly.
Crispin scoffed. He thought that Adrian was faking his calmness and that he had to be panicking internally.
"I don't care if you're a member of the Pierce family. I'm here today to talk to you about business," Crispin said. "You're in charge of this company, right? You can make the decisions."
"I am only the general manager and handling the company's matters for someone else," Adrian said. "Decisions are made by our CEO."
"Oh, you have a CEO?" Crispin was surprised by this. He had not heard anything about it.
“So, you're just a pawn, then. I was wrong."
Adrian's gaze was icy. He was losing his patience and did not want to talk to Crispin any longer.
Back in Summerdale, anyone who dared to speak to him in this way would be flat on the ground already.
"Since you're not in charge, I won't waste my breath. Get your CEO to come down here to see me. I want to talk to him," Crispin said casually.
Adrian felt very displeased at that.
"Our CEO is your "
Before he could finish speaking, Adrian's phone rang. He answered it.
"Bring them upstairs," came Dustin's voice.
"Come with me," Adrian said flatly. He then turned and headed to the elevators.
