Chapter 317 Why Are You Pretending to Be Sisters?
When Adele heard this, she came back to her senses, but she could not help but think about Damon’s expression just now.
Did she make him angry?
For a moment, she could not understand. She followed Kevin out of the conference room and sent him away.
The two of them walked in front, followed by the assistant. When they walked through the corridor, Adele could not help but say, “Thank you for what happened just now.”
If not for Kevin, she would have already been kicked out of Yusuf Group.
“What are we thanking each other for?” “If you want to thank me, give me your body?” Kevin raised his eyebrows and suddenly put his arm around her shoulder.
Naturally, Adele could tell that he was joking. She looked up at him and imitated his tone. “Really?”
A ripple flashed through Kevin’s eyes. Before he could answer, footsteps came from the side.
Adele naturally heard it. She tilted her head slightly and just happened to see Damon standing not far ahead.
Her heart suddenly tightened. She subconsciously pulled away from Kevin, and a few traces of panic flashed across her face.
Damon’s eyes were like ice, staring at them. The emotions in his eyes were unknown. When Adele looked up at him again, he had already moved his gaze away and walked straight ahead.
Adele’s heart couldn’t help but beat faster. Unconsciously, a layer of cold sweat had already appeared on her back.
After getting on the elevator, she slowly came back to her senses.
Kevin naturally took in her reaction. He restrained the smile on his face and pretended to be relaxed as he said, “If you really want to thank me, then treat me to a meal another day!”.
“Okay.” Adele replied absentmindedly.
For some reason, Damon’s casual glance had already given her pressure. After she sent Kevin to the company entrance, she returned to Administrative Department.
Shirley looked around at the door. When he saw her, his eyes lit up. He walked forward and asked, “Adele, how are you?”
“I’m fine.” Adele pulled the corners of her lips weakly and walked straight to the office.
When they passed by the office area, Grace happened to be checking the form. When he saw her walk over, his face turned a little cold and he mocked, “Whoever does something will be exposed in the end.”
“Yes, there is no fire in the paper.”
“…”
When Adele heard the sarcasm, she did not take it to heart. At this moment, her mind was in a mess because of Damon, and she had no time to pay attention to them at all.
On the contrary, Shirley, who was walking beside her, could not help but frown. She opened her mouth to speak for Adele. “You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t speak nonsense! You don’t know what happened, so don’t gossip here!”
When the female colleague who was scolded heard this, she raised her eyebrows in dissatisfaction. “Who said that?” “You didn’t specify your name. Why are you so arrogant? Didn’t you just get promoted? You clearly stole her position, why are you still pretending to be close sisters?”
The female colleague’s sharp words made Shirley blush and she did not know what to say.
“Shirley, let’s go back to the office.” Adele frowned and turned to look at Shirley.
Shirley nodded in embarrassment. He was about to follow Adele to the office when the female colleague spoke again, “What’s wrong? I hit a sore spot. Weren’t you quite awesome just now?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Shirley turned around angrily.
The atmosphere was so cold that it was freezing. The female colleague refused to give up and stood up, looking like she was going to quarrel with Shirley.
At this moment, the door of the supervisor’s office was suddenly pushed open. Corine appeared at the door with a serious expression. He glanced at the crowd and said coldly, “What? Is it that I have arranged too little work for you?”
Her one sentence instantly doused the flames that they had ignited, and the other colleagues who were watching the show also withdrew their gazes and busied themselves with the matters at hand.
Seeing that no one spoke, Corine looked at Adele and said, “Adele, come here.”
Adele gritted his teeth, nodded, and walked in that direction.
Originally, she had just experienced a meeting in the conference room. Now, she only wanted to be alone and quiet. She did not expect to be involved in such a dispute again.
She sighed secretly and walked into Corine’s office. Before she could explain, she heard Corine say, “Go home.”
Adele was startled. She looked up at Corine in surprise and said, “Corine, what did I do wrong?”
Didn’t Kevin explain it clearly in the meeting just now? Why did the company drive her away?
When Corine heard this, he smiled and said, “I mean to let you go home and rest for a while. I have already heard about what happened in the conference room. I will allow you to take half a day off. You go back and adjust it.”
When Adele heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief and quickly patted his chest. “I was scared to death. Thank you, Corine.”
“Alright.” Corine smiled. “When you come back tomorrow, you should focus on handling the matter of Jiang Huanchen’s endorsement first. The higher-ups have instructed that I will hand over the task you have to others to do.”
Adele was stunned and finally nodded.
After leaving the company, she went directly to the hospital. Seeing that Professor Wes was in a good condition, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
After accompanying Professor Wes and Ms. Henderson for dinner, she left the hospital and returned to the small apartment.
Today’s day was full of ups and downs. Adele let out a rare sigh of relief. She took a good bath and closed her eyes to meditate in the bathtub. Unconsciously, she fell asleep. When she woke up, the hot water in the bathtub had already become warm water. She quickly came out and wrapped herself in a bath towel.
After drying her hair, it was already late. Adele then strolled to the bedroom and prepared to rest.
The phone that was charging at the head of the bed flashed. She casually picked it up and saw that there were two missed calls from Damon. Her relaxed body suddenly became nervous again.
Why did Damon call her at this time?
Adele looked at the number on the phone screen and was hesitating whether to call back. Suddenly, the phone vibrated. Her hand shook and she directly pressed the answer button.
“Hello? Adele?” a low, lazy male voice came from the other side of the line.
When Damon called her name, Adele’s body went numb. She quickly put the phone to her ear and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I want to see you,” Damon said directly.
For some reason, the man’s voice reached her ears through the receiver, as if it had magic, making her unconsciously nervous.
After a pause, she maintained her rationality and said, “It’s getting late. If there’s anything else, let’s talk about it another day.”
“I’m downstairs,” said Damon in a low voice, as if he had not heard her at all.
“You… What exactly is the matter?” Adele asked in shock.
Was there anything that could not be said over the phone and had to be said when they met?
She gritted her teeth and secretly decided that even if Damon came up to knock on the door later, she would never open the door for her.
“Come down, I have something to tell you…” said Damon.
The man’s voice was a little shaky. It was different from his usual voice. Adele paused and asked doubtfully, “Did you… drink?”
She suddenly remembered that Damon seemed to speak like this after drinking.
On the other side, Damon paused for a few seconds and replied simply, “Yes.”
Adele gasped. His originally firm heart suddenly wavered. “Then you should go home early.”
“You come down… I have something to say.” “If you don’t come down, then I will go up…” Damon added.
“Don’t!”
Adele’s heart tightened. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’ll go down.”
Damon was already drunk. She couldn’t guarantee what he would do. It was better to go down and see him.
Adele hung up the phone and quickly put on a long coat. She took a bottle of frozen mineral water from the refrigerator and went out of the house.
