Chapter 33: Plan (2)
"For now you all do your work here," he said his voice loud and clear. After saying this he walked away from the coliseum.
He did not go back to his office. He walked straight to the main school building. He stood in front of the principal’s office. He took a deep breath.
He told himself If you want to do something big you can’t be afraid of these small things. He knocked on the principal’s office door.
Immediately the principal’s voice came from inside. "You can come in."
Adam went inside the principal’s office. The principal Ms. Vince was very surprised to see him. "Adam," she said looking up from her papers. "I believe you should be taking a class right now. Is there a problem?"
Adam took a deep breath. He had to be convincing. "Ms. Vince I’m very sorry," he said his voice full of regret. "I enjoyed today’s classes very much. But I just received a call from my home a little while ago." He paused letting the gravity of his words sink in. He had to make this believable.
He had to sell the lie. His entire plan depended on it. He needed this job as a cover. But he also needed the freedom to build his empire. It was a delicate balance.
"The situation there has become very critical," Adam said his voice filled with urgency. "I have to go."
The principal was very surprised to hear this. She thought It’s Adam’s first day. She was silent for a few seconds. She was deep in thought. Adam knew that his performance on the first day would affect his entire career at this school. But Adam did not care about that.
The principal spoke in a slightly angry tone. "Adam do you know what effect this will have on your performance and your entire career?"
