In fact, Adrian had been extremely hostile to William since he had joined the company a few days ago.
The reason was very simple—before William became the general manager of the Solar Corporation's Orange County branch, Adrian was the person in charge of the entire branch office!
The Orange County branch of the Solar Corporation originally belonged to the Brookes, so the former general manager was one of their distant relatives.
But since the sudden fall of the Brookes, all of them had left LA, and their remaining businesses were acquired by Lucas. Adrian and the other long-tenured employees remained in the Solar Corporation's Orange County branch instead of leaving with the Brookes.
In their opinion, the Brookes were just the owners of the company they worked for, so there was no need for them to go down together with the Brookes.
