“Ms. Hale is so happy. In all the years I’ve worked with Mr. Alston, it’s the first time I’ve seen him so attached to a woman.”
Summer lamented from the bottom of her heart.
“Oh, yeah.”
Adriana laughed helplessly, her smile slightly formal and unnatural.
“Yes, even when Miss Lindsay was there, Mr. Alston at most asked me to make her a cup of coffee. And today Mr. Alston is carrying you upstairs. You’re so happy, I’ve never seen any girl with this kind of treatment.”
Perhaps because Summer is a self-effacing personality, she treats Adriana very well.
“That … I was hurting my foot, so …”
Adriana was eager to explain, but Summer smiled frankly, “Ms. Hale, our Ms. Hale is a handsome and rich diamond king, since he likes you so much, you must catch it. Go for it.”
Secretary Su finished, made a cheering gesture towards her, smiled innocently, brushed the frame of her glasses, turned around and left.
Adriana: “…”
What should she say?
Peter is usually as cold as frost, I thought his Alston Group employees should have a great opinion of him, but I never thought there would be people to speak for him.
He went to the conference room for a meeting, and Adriana had to stay alone in the office waiting for him.
I was bored, opened a packet of snacks, leaned on the sofa and enjoyed a moment of peace and quiet.
Suddenly, a voice came from outside: “Is your Mr. Alston here?”
“Mr. Alston is in a meeting in the conference room.” The voice of Summer, the secretary.
“That’s fine, I’ll wait for him in the office.”
“Mr. Henderson, there’s … in the office.”
Summer’s words have not yet spoken, the office door has been pushed open, Adriana side glance over, then saw Edward and Zac two wind and breeze in.
“Ms. Hale, they …”
Summer looked embarrassed, Adriana waved her hand, “It’s okay, you go out.”
“Yes.”
Summer nodded and turned around and walked out, taking the door with her.
It is Edward and Zac two people look at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and finally the eyes fell on Adriana’s body.
“Ms. Hale, what are you doing here?”
Zac’s easy-going nature took the lead and asked, while Edward’s icy gaze swept over Adriana and walked over to sit in front of her.
“Peter asked me to come over.”
She truthfully informed that Adriana was not rusty when facing Peter’s two brothers, but it was inevitably a bit awkward to be together in the office in this way.
“Well, I told you, there must be a reason why big brother asked you that.”
Zac arm gently nudged Edward, raised his eyebrows, and smiled thievishly.
“That phone call from Peter this morning, did you have him make that call?” Edward’s eyes narrowed slightly, and an incredulous look flashed under his eyes.
“No.”
She shook her head, paused for a moment, and added, “He was the one who wanted to fight, what does it have to do with me.”
Now is considered to understand, Edward and Zac two reason for rushing over, think because of the morning Peter called Edward’s reason.
Suddenly, a cell phone rang in the office and Zac answered the phone, “What? Okay, okay, okay, I’m going back to the hospital right now. I’ll be there in twenty minutes.”
Hanging up the phone, Zac patted Edward’s shoulder, “Mr. Henderson, I’m going back first, there’s a big operation in the hospital.”
“OK, go ahead.”
Edward nodded his head.
Zac said hello to Adriana, “Ms. Hale, you guys talk, I’ll go first.”
“Bye.”
Adriana waved her hand and watched Zac leave the office.
She didn’t like Edward very much, and now she felt that the atmosphere was even more awkward to the point of unspeakable.
She bowed her head and quietly ate to pass the time, while Edward sat across from her, his eyes sweeping to her from time to time.
“Mr. Henderson might as well say what he has to say.”
Always silent, always looking at her, but slow to leave the office, if not to have something to say, what else could be the case.
“Tell your brother to stay away from Flora in the future.”
He spoke directly.
“My brother? Jenkins?”
Adriana wrinkled her brow and suddenly smiled, “Doesn’t Mr. Henderson think he’s funny? I really wonder what your job is as Mr. Henderson, people who don’t know think you really have nothing to do with everything!”
She really wants to be Edward to die of anger, their own family has money, power and power is very big?
It is like a ‘dog with a rat meddling’ stance.
Hearing her words, Edward looked colder for a few minutes, “Woman, the person who dares to talk to me like that, except Flora, you are the first.”
“Is that so? Is the next sentence to warn me to watch myself and not be reckless just because Peter likes me. Right?”
She was even more indifferent, her mocking gaze fell on Edward’s body, “If you want to keep Jenkins away from Flora, why did you put her in YY Law Firm? Besides, Flora doesn’t even like Alvin, so who does she like, or who does she have a new suitor for, and you want to care?”
Adriana laughed lightly at her birth, with obvious sarcasm in her eyes, “If you really want to reject everything against Flora, you should keep her at home, out of the house, then no one will return to her.”
That was fun.
Everything has to be in charge, I’ve never seen such a man.
Edward’s angular handsome face was slightly austere, slightly narrowing his narrow sharp eyes, “Are you provoking me?”
“I dare not provoke. I’m just stating the facts, and if Mr. Henderson doesn’t like to hear them, feel free not to listen.” She had a disdainful face.
“You …”
Edward’s anger went straight to his head, “You think I can’t do anything about you because Peter likes you?”
Adriana raised her eyes and suddenly put the snack in her hand on the table, her slightly smiling eyes gazing at him, “Since Mr. Henderson has no self-awareness, why don’t we do a test to try whether you or I are important in Peter’s heart?”
“Childish!”
Edward stared at her for a long time, grunted coldly and got up, “Just because I can’t do anything with you doesn’t mean I can’t do anything with Jenkins. I warned you, don’t blame me for not saying hello in advance.”
After he finished, he stepped out of the office.
Looking at his back, Adriana knitted both eyebrows and sighed, “What the hell is going on?”
I had a feeling that there was something between Jenkins and Vivian, how come Flora is involved now?
After sitting for a while, she took her phone and called Jenkins, “Brother, what are you doing?”
“The company has a bunch of things going on right now, you’re doing the dumping, we can be the hard workers.”
Jenkins snickered.
“Is that … free tomorrow, talk to Vivian, you come out with her and Flora, free up a day and take you guys to a BBQ and relax.”
