"Well well well, look what've got here. The murderer" Adriana heard the guy say and her face flushed in embarrassment.

Well that was a good first impression!!

 She hoped this wasn't the son the woman was talking about.

Mrs Taylor, who didn't know the underlying meaning to what he had said, thought of it as Chris trying to frustrate everyone and couldn't pick a better person than their guest here.

"Chris! You shouldn't speak like that to our guest" Mrs Taylor scolded and she saw him raise an eyebrow at her as if to ask why she had indicated it as 'we'

Mrs Taylor stared at her son for a while before finally clearing the air. "Justin, she will be your new personal assistant" Mrs Taylor said and she saw him tilt his head at her in question.

"Why do you feel I need an assistant mother? Have you started getting jealous that I might cheat on you and is just using her as a disguise to monitor my movements?" Chris said with a serious tone even though his words contained a lot of ridiculousness in them while Adriana just stood there looking like an outcast. She especially didn't like that it was the guy that had seen her threatening someone with the heel of her shoe that she had met to work for.

"I don't know, maybe having her around all the time should teach you to stop going to places you are not meant to"Mrs Taylor said in a much ratherly calm expression because she knew Chris wouldn't say no to her. She had only employed Adriana to keep an eye on him and report to her his every movement, her son had shown he needed some serious monitoring and she would give it to him.

"My my you amaze me mum but don't you think i'm too smart for your tricks?" Chris said as the corner of his lips pulled up as if amused at the actions of his mum.

Adriana couldn't decipher what was going on but if there was anything she could grab from the weird discussion, it seemed that Justin didn't like the idea of him having a personal assistant.

"So when am I to start work, Mrs Taylor?" Adriana went ahead to ask. She didn't need to care what Chris thought, it was Mrs Taylor who had given her the work.

Mrs Taylor shifted her gaze to look at Adriana with a smile. "Now dear" she answered and she could notice the glare he gave her. "So you are going to have her follow me to school?" Chris asked in disbelief at his mother.

"Why not?" Mrs Taylor answered as she offered him a smile and instead of waiting for him to shoot another question at her she waved at Adriana and left for her room.

"What do you think you are doing?" Chris asked the girl with a hint of glare as she noticed her come to stand beside him.

"Doing my job" Adriana answered even though his voice was cold and unnerving.

Justin's lips twitched as he moved his feets going to enter his motorcycle while Adriana followed closely behind him. Adriana looked up in question at him wondering why he chose to ride a motorcycle when there were clearly more than enough cars that she had seen when she entered.

She wanted to get on the motorcycle with him but he was quick to stop her as he raised one of his fingers signaling her to stop right where she was.

"You are not riding with me" came the Curt words from Christopher to have Adriana's eyes widen staring at him. What did he mean she wasn't riding with him? Her job was precisely to be around him at all times!! As that was what Mrs Taylor had instructed her to do when she had given her this work.

"But Mrs Taylor precisely told me to follow you to......." Adriana wanted to say but he was quick to cut her short.

"Ride at your own cost" she heard him say and she felt her leg stiffen for a bit but when she saw him climb on his motorcycle putting on his helmet she did the same not wanting to take his word literal as she took it as just him trying to scare her away.

Even though she had thought of his words as just him trying to get her off from getting on his bike, Adriana was quick to rethink her words as she watched the guy drive like a crazy psychopath who was wishing for death. She could have sworn she almost had a panic attack when she saw him cut through traffic and almost run over a moving truck just that he was skilled enough to miss it and avoid a possible accident which she wasn't sure would not happen within the few minutes she rode with him on this bike.

She had her lips sealed as she occasionally held her breath in order to suppress her accelerated heart beat due to the way the maniac kept riding like he was wishing for a death wish and wanted to drag her along with it. The ride to where they were headed seemed longer than necessary and once they had finally reached, Adriana found herself quickly getting down from the bike almost instantly and she sent a sharp glare towards the guy who had not even taken his time to look at the fuming girl who seemed flustered.

"Did you have to ride like a maniac?" Adriana cursed at the guy through gritted teeth and that was when she saw him leisurely raise his head up to look at her and she saw his lips twitch at her words.

"Stand guard and watch my motorbike" was what he said, counting her earlier statement as insignificant.

Adriana scoffed at his words as if he had made a joke. She should stand and watch guard of the motorbike huh? She would rather steal it and sell it instead so that she would not have to work with this screwed loosed head again.

Adriana walked to stand in front of him holding eye contact with him and neither did he break away. "You must be joking" Adriana said confidently as if challenging him but when she watched him lean over, she noticed his entire demeanor change at that instant making her slightly gulp.

"Let's watch and see if I am" he said coldly and without taking another look at her turned and entered into the premises of the building they came to.

Adriana's line of sight followed him and that was when she realized they were at her university.she had been too infuriated to even notice. Wait! He also schooled here? Adriana didn't know this as she had hardly attended school.

She could only watch him leave and somehow, she did not know why she stayed put where she was. It was as if he had compelled her to stay right where she was but the guy had done nothing. The only mistake she had made was looking directly into his eyes which only ran a chill down her spine as she felt the coldness and danger around them. 

Adriana's eyes darted back and forth and she noticed students who were randomly walking by stare at her but she had better things to do than to worry about them. She bit her lower lip looking at the gates of the school wondering if she should follow him but by now she was sure he had covered enough grounds where she might not see the direction he went. And not that she knew his class.

There was something very unnerving about the way he spoke which had left her scared to talk back at him for a second but she wasn't going to let him intimidate her again. Adriana thought as she now walked over to the building to get in.

Her heels clicked on the floor as she neared the gates and before she could even attempt going in, the security man who was standing guard at the gate was quick to stop her.

Adriana rolled her eyes feeling he wanted interrogating her again as she was already thinking of an excuse to tell him but before she could even speak, she heard the gateman say to her, "Chris has ordered me not to let you in"

Adriana snapped her head at him. What did he mean by that! "So you mean I can't go inside the school just because you were instructed by a mere student!! He doesn't own the school!" Adriana's lips twitched in frustration. Was that guy really trying to mess with her? She could only scoff at the thought as she continued glaring at the man.

"Basically,yes he does and secondly,never come here again" the man answered to her question which was not even meant to be a question in the first place as she had used it as sarcasm which left her stunned for a bit.

She knew there was no point arguing with him as Chris had already given the order to him to have her walk back to where she had been standing previously as she fumed in anger and frustration.

It seemed like everyone just had the sudden urge to start frustrating her.
