Chapter 145 - Small Building
Adrik arrived home by eight o'clock that day and silently walked into the room, then shut the door, making sure not to make a loud noise. He turned around and his gaze fell on his little wife, who was outfitted in a blue pyjama, curled up on the sofa, and peacefully sleeping.
A smile formed on his lips and he dropped his mask and black suitcase on the table, then walked towards the sofa and leaned down, placing a soft kiss on her head.
He stood up and walked straight into the bathroom, giving himself a nice warm shower. He swathed himself in a white robe when he was done, then strolled back to Leia and gently carried her up from the couch in a bridal style.
He gently laid her down on the bed, then climbed in beside her and wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer to him. He nuzzled her neck, and a relaxed breath escaped his nose as he shut his eyes.
"Why are you back so late?" Leia, who was in his arms, abruptly asked with a voice that held weariness.
Adrik's eyes blinked open, as he was not expecting her to be awake. He flipped her over so she would face him and stared into her pitch-black pupils. "I am sorry." He smiled at her and lovingly kissed her lips.
Leia rolled her somnolent eyes and moved closer, wrapping her arms and legs around him. "Good night." She buried her face in his chest and gradually dozed off.

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye, and it was currently 2 pm.
Dressed in black joggers and a white polo that left only her tattooed arms and neck revealed, Leia smiled at herself in the mirror, then finally tied her short hair up. She really has never liked girly things and mostly dresses in outfits like this. She only wears gowns during important parties.
A low breath escaped her nose. And she slid into her trainers, then turned to Adrik, who was seated on the couch with his laptop on his lap and his green eyes focused on it.
She walked up to him and squatted down, then grabbed his attention and smiled at him.
Adrik scrutinized her, and a wide smile couldn't help but form on his face. "You look beautiful." He chuckled softly, and Leia flicked her two fingers at his forehead. She cupped his cheek and delivered a soft kiss to his lips. "I will be back soon." She kissed him again before standing up and giving him one last smile, then walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.
She strolled out of the mansion and stepped into the Lamborghini, then shut the door and drove off.
Her eyes glanced around on the way, and she carefully noted down each place she drove past, to make sure she wasn't going the wrong way.
Finally, after a maximum of two hours, she slowed down the car and parked it on the roadside.
She glimpsed at a small building that looked so lowly through the window of the car, pushed the door open, then stepped down.
She adjusted her polo and covered her eyes with her black shades. A smirk emerged on her face, and with her left hand shoved into her pocket, she crossed the road and made her way towards the small building.
She got to the door and left three light knocks on it, then patiently waited. it didn't take twenty seconds when the iron door pushed open, revealing a bulky man whose chest was vibrating as though he was about to fight with someone. His short hair was all messed up and his brown eyes, which held unfriendliness, stared intently at her.
Leis raised her brows, and a smirk emerged on her lips. "I want to see your boss." She said, with no bit of respect in her tone.
The bulky old man glared at her and scoffed before he moved to let her in. Leia grinned at him and walked past him, making sure to narrow her eyes dangerously at him.
The bulky man gazed intently at her for a moment before slamming the iron door shut and locking it with the big, heavy locks that will at least take up to 60 seconds to unlock, unlike normal locks.
Leia halted on her steps and turned her head to glance at him. An unknown, vicious glint flashed in her eyes, and she sneered deeply within her heart, then continued on her steps.
She walked further and finally stopped somewhere that one would call a living room. However, this looked nothing like a normal living room.
Everywhere looked rough, and above the ceiling was a small bulb that was dangling slowly and emitting a dense light. In the middle was a round table that had a chair on either side and bottles of beer on top of it.
She shrugged and walked to the chair, then sat down and crossed her legs, patiently waiting for whoever she was waiting for.
Another man arrived inside the room after a few seconds, and Leia turned to glance at him. He was slim, unlike the bulky one. However, he was completely bald with a small eagle tattoo drawn on his neck.
The bulky one walked up to him, and he whispered something into his ear. He nodded, then used a sign to tell the slim one to keep an eye on Leia.
With that being done, he left the room, leaving only Leia and the slim one in the compartment.
Leia chuckled softly within her heart and began to play with the cover of the bottle she saw on the table. Her finger flipped it over and turned it over again.
Seconds passed and minutes passed, but the man he came there for never showed up.. Not caring to say a word to the slim man, she continued to play with the cover of the bottle, a half-grin hanging on her lips.
