When Krista entered Adrian's office, her heart skipped a beat. She couldn't help but be in awe of how handsome he looked. Yes, he is in a wheelchair, but it did not reduce his good looks and appeal. He was still a King!
Her heart sank when Adrian let out a sigh of irritation, but it did not matter. Krista thought, 'By the time I'm done telling Adrian about Riley, I'll be that person to comfort him.'
"What brings you here?" Adrian asked in the most uninterested way.
"Adrian, you wouldn't believe this, but I have proof that Riley is cheating on you," Krista finally found the courage to say.
"Cheating on me?" Adrian asked while leaning back on his wheelchair. "Riley would never cheat on me."
"But I have proof! I can prove that Riley was kissing another man at the beach!" Krista hurriedly opened her phone and showed Adrian the pictures. She explained, "I was at the beach once and saw Riley. I took as many pictures as I could!"
Adrian raised a brow as he scanned the photos. He said, "This isn't Riley. If anything, these look like edited pictures! Several gradients had been added to this photo, a work done by an amateur!"
"But it is her!" Krista insisted. "I saw her with my own eyes."
Adrian shook his head and described, "All you have is a peripheral view of someone who looks like Riley. And this man who was with her -"
"I think it's the bar owner of the restaurant at the beach. He is a tall guy, and he likes wearing a hat. His name is Emmet," Krista said. She leaned closer and revealed, "I have been observing him for days, and he has been looking at me in fear."
Krista nodded and said, "Emmet is afraid that I might catch him red-handed one day. He and Riley are being cautious."
"You have been observing the bar owner for days?" Adrian asked, utterly taken aback. "Like a stalker?"
"Um. Yes, I wanted to get a better picture of Riley and him," Krista said. "The pictures I had were not clear enough."
"It, in fact, is not clear! And if you spread rumors about this when all you have is a dark picture of a woman's figure who looks like Riley, even I will sue you for defamation," Adrian said curtly.
"Me? Why me?" Krista asked in horror.
"Anything you say against my wife or me without solid proof will affect the company's reputation!" Adrian's voice strengthened as he said. "Besides, Riley would never cheat on me."
Krista panicked. She was almost sure the pictures were enough to bring Riley down, but why was Adrian unconvinced?
Trying to dig through her brain, she finally found a solution. She offered, "I'll continue to watch Emmet! One day, Riley and Emmet will meet in broad daylight, and I will have a better picture! You'll see, Adrian!"
"What?" Adrian asked, looking aghast.
"I'll investigate Emmet," Krista repeated.
At first, Adrian looked repulsed, but eventually, he said, "You go do that. Watch Emmet day and night and whether it rains or shines. You must observe him, not from afar but close by. Buy all the equipment investigators have, binoculars, listening devices, etc."
"Yes! Yes, I'll do that, anything to prove to you that Riley cheated on you," Krista declared.
Adrian shook his head. He said, "Whatever. Do what you must to prove your theory. If you find a solid proof, I'll reward you handsomely."
Krista gasped. She asked, "Really?"
"If you prove it, but if you don't, I'll teach you a lesson for putting your nose where it doesn't belong," Adrian said.
Yet again, Krista panicked but insisted on what she had seen. "I can prove it! I promise I will. I know it's Emmet!"
