Adrian stood by his car in the crowded New York City port as he stood far away from Will, who was standing close to some containers and was talking to some of the port's men.

Adrian was watching the situation from afar and looking at his goods as it is being transported from the containers to transport trucks.

Meanwhile, Will was bribing some men he was dealing with every time he wanted to bring some prohibited goods into the port, holding in his hand some signed papers that Isaac had checked before, and he was also carrying some cash.

Will : Thanks Tom. here's your share.

The man nodded to Will while he was receiving the money, then went out to complete his work and supervise the men as they transported the goods. Will then went where Adrian was standing.

Adrian : So?
Will : Everything is perfect.
Adrian : Great. you are going to stay here until they are done okay?
Will : Cool man.
Adrian : I'm going to the office, don't call me unless it's urgent.

Before Adrian finished his sentence his phone rang in his jacket pocket, He took it out and looked at the name and immediately knew that there was a problem. He looked to Will and then went to his car while Will returned to monitor the transportation.

Adrian sat in the car and then answered the phone.

Adrian : Yes?

He listened carefully, his eyebrows tied up and a vein in his neck seemed to start beating.

Adrian : When was that? ... Okay ... No don't do anything about it. i will take care of it.

Adrian ended the call and put both hands on the driving wheel, and began to tighten his grip on it in clear anger, then he began to curse loudly.

Adrian : You bitch.

He tightened his lips as he was thinking, looked at his phone on the seat next to him and then he picked it up and started looking for a name in the list of names, then put the phone on his ear.

He was mad and shifting his gaze across the port, trying to focus on his words.

( Hollywood's Studios )

Maria was sitting in the chair getting her make-up done, when one of the workers in the movie was doing her make-up in preparation to shoot one of the scenes of her expected movie. Her phone rang on the table as she was flipping some magazine. She picked up the phone to find Adrian Dawson name on the screen. She suddenly remembered that they exchanged their phone numbers at the party last night. She grabbed the phone and answered it with a clear rush.

Adrian : Hey Maria.

Maria : Adrian ?
Adrian : Yeah.
Maria : What's up?
Adrian : Great. You left early this morning we could not talk or even have breakfast together.

Maria waved her hand to the make-up lady so she would get out of the room.

Maria : Yeah. you know the movie and work, I had to go but i was gonna give you a call anyway. You know i had the best time last night.
Adrian : I believe you did. listen why don't you come over tonight? we could have our own little party.
Maria : Sure. Great. I will be there tonight. See you then.

Adria ended the call with a victorious smile on his face, he knew very well what he was doing.

After Maria finished the call, she looked at herself in the mirror in front of her with clear admiration and smiled at herself. Adrian Dawson asked to meet her again without making any effort from her. He saved her a lot of time and efforts in trying to seduce him with that call. She smiled to herself and called on the make-up lady to finish her work.

Adrian drove his car out of New York seaport to his company's skyscraper. He parked his car and rushed to his office.

He entered the office and then picked up the phone to speak for his assistant.

Adrian : Estelle, Bring me my coffee please and call Isaac tell him i need him in my office.
Estelle : yes sir.

Adrian took off his jacket, folded the sleeves of his shirt, then sat on the chair and raised a sheet of paper to look at it.

Isaac entered the office after a while, then went to the chair front of Adrian and sat on it.

Isaac : you wanted to see me?
Adrian : yes. what did you do about that agent?
Isaac : we were just talking last night, you don't expect me to know everything this fast.
Adrian : You said you're going to take care of this thing. Well the bitch is digging about my life. She saw Maria leaving my place this morning.
Isaac : Did you mean she was out the mansion all night?
Adrian : Yeah. She even followed Maria and saw her buying some drugs from some blond girl i don't know.
Isaac : Did Maria saw her and told you?
Adrian : No. I have some friends inside the FBI. Someone called me and said she is thinking that she could use Maria against me.
Isaac : What are you going to do?
Adrian : Right now. I need to be really close to Maria Carter so she would be under my eyes 24/7.But about that bitch i'm still thinking about it.

There was silence between the two and Isaac leaned on his hand thinking.

Isaac : You should not be close to Maria. She should know that you have nothing to do with her buying drugs.
Adrian : I'm not even involved so I'm not worried about the drugs thing.
Isaac : Yes that makes sense.
Adrian : Look Isaac. You have 24 hours bring me every thing about this bitch. even her underwear size i wanna know every little detail about her.
Isaac : Okay. Anything else?
Adrian : Yeah. Will got the stuff this morning so meet him and take the papers.
Isaac : Okay.

Isaac got out of the office, then took out his phone, looked for a number, then put the phone on his ear.

Isaac : Hey. I need to see you right now. for the sake of the old days. The downtown cafe yes.

Isaac ended the call, then went to the elevator and pressed the parking button.
