Being asked to step into his boss' office one sunny Monday morning and fed enough bull to make him want to throw up about how this company couldn't do without his talents... blah, blah, blah... did not start his week off all too well. Adrian had zoned out and waited for the punch line. Not even he saw this one coming down the tracks- he was given one of those good news, bad news talks by his then boss.
The good news was he was being promoted to become one of the youngest department heads in the company. The bad news was the job promotion meant he had to up sticks and move to a new state. It seems our company was opening a new office in Houston and you can guess who they wanted to run the IT side.
I think what made his boss stall was how quickly he got Adrian to agree. Hell, why not. His last relationship had recently cratered with most of our friends taking her side. When Jasmine decided to pull the plug on our relationship, she did a fine job of pulling up the drawbridge on the way out. For some reason she thought he would drop to his knees and beg her to stay.
When Adrian didn't go crawling to her, she got pissed about it. This wasn't fitting her plans to leave him a broken wreck. Yes, Jasmine was a real piece of work and the false accusations and out and out lies that followed made him wonder who this woman really was. The accusations ranged from taking her ass while she was asleep to feeding drain cleaner to the neighbor's children.
All his time was spent countering her accusations that in the end, he just didn't have it in him to fight her anymore. At least they never made it past the engaged stage. Lord knows what he would have been worth when she finished divorcing him.
So for the last three months, all he seemed to be doing was drifting. A change was what Adrian needed and if this company was going to pick up the bill for the move, and throw a promotion into the mix as well... Hell, why not.
