After going through too much, Adriana has nothing but disappointment and despair for Peter.
In truth, there is also heartache for the man in front of you.
When an accident happened, Peter lost his memory, and he was also an innocent.
Naive entangled with him for so long, after the ups and downs is his fervent pursuit, because the two added a Theresa, like a mountain that can not be crossed, so she chose to escape.
There is also the blockage of The Alston family, which is also a gulf that cannot be crossed.
But in the end, he was impressed by Peter’s tenderness and agreed to be together.
However, the beginning is both the end and the end.
So maybe she and Peter aren’t right together.
Although in Adriana’s heart, has long been love for the man in front of him, even love not less than Peter.
She must also refrain from all feelings.
“Sloane is as good as she is, you don’t have to do this to her.” He sounded slightly angry.
“What to do to her? It’s just dislocated. Next time there’s no measure, I’ll waste her.” Lawson took out a cigarette case from a side drawer, pulled out a cigarette and lit it, took a deep drag, lifted his jaw slightly, and exhaled a faint cigarette at Peter, “Ask Mr. Alston to go out if there’s nothing wrong.”
She was already a non-smoker, but now she is in male makeup, so she is just doing it to act like it.
In fact, the smell of smoke are revolting, smoking has not been lung.
“Arrogance!”
The man’s eyes narrowed slightly and he took a step closer, “What, on account of being Anne and Alvin’s friend, you think I don’t dare to do anything to you?”
His gesture made the seated Adriana very passive.
She got up leisurely and met him with all eyes, “Then what do you want?”
What does he want?
Peter looked at the man close at hand, sniffing his faint breath inexplicably a familiar feeling was born, the brain swung through a few blurred images.
Déjà vu in a dream.
Those eyes, eyebrows, face shape, are too similar to that person too.
“Do you know Adriana?”
He suddenly asked.
Adriana’s cigarette hand trembled slightly, and she immediately turned her back to him, hiding her panic and pretending to be calm, “I don’t know. Waverly is well known for the affairsof Mr. Alston, who does not know.”
Sitting in the executive chair, Adriana took a puff of her cigarette and said, “If Mr. Alston came over just to tell me those funny stories, I’m not in that mood to listen, and I don’t want to listen.”
Lifting his finger, he pointed to the door, “Get out. Ahem …”
Because she took a puff of smoke, she didn’t spit it out in time and it entered her lungs and choked, “cough cough …”
Adriana pushed the cigarette directly into the ashtray, covered her mouth and coughed, choking on her tears.
I drew a piece of paper to cover my eyes, not wanting Peter to see the embarrassment.
The man looked at her that way and wondered, “Mr. Boone doesn’t smoke?”
A puff of smoke choked Adriana dizzy, half a day to get comfortable, red eyes glared at him, “I always dislike smoking, recently want to learn to smoke. However, the smell of smoke is too bad.”
She threw the cigarette into the trash as soon as she could, feeling really ashamed.
Peter looked at her with a deep, complex gaze that was impossible to read.
“Is there anything else, please leave if there is nothing else. I have too many things to take care of right now, and I hope Mr. Alston won’t hold me up at work, otherwise, I’ll call security.”
Peter used to be cold and lonely, never bothering to talk to anyone.
And now he has changed a lot, calm, mature, there will always be an indefinable gloomy atmosphere between the brows.
“I’ll let bygones be bygones about Sloane, but you’ll have to buy me dinner.”
The president of Alston Group is begging for food from her?
“No time.”
“In that case, then the Clear Bay project The Alston family will do everything they can, no matter what the cost.”
Putting down a sentence, Peter turned around and walked away without looking back.
Watching him leave until he reached the door, Adriana immediately shouted, “Wait.”
Clear Bay Project’s strongest competitor is the Alston Group, and if the Alston Group chooses to withdraw from the bid, the Fryer Group will have a better chance of winning.
This is the task Harlee has given her, or she will never be able to return to Waverly.
Waverly is her sad place, but the two children are here and she thought she had really forgotten until she didn’t see them and could care less.
But since yesterday with the two children, she has softened her heart.
I think the rest of my life, no matter how to accompany the child, even if it is silently watching the child grow up.
“I’ll buy you dinner and you’ll give up your bid for Clear Bay?”
The man stood there, silent.
Sort of a default.
“Okay, I promise you.”
It’s just one meal, it’s simply too easy.
At that, Peter’s lips could not help but emerge with some faint curvature, and the gloomy mood went with it.
Perhaps even he didn’t notice the difference in his state of mind.
Turning around, she walked to the sofa and sat down, waiting for Adriana to serve tea.
Squeak-
With a soft thud, the office door opened again.
In walks a familiar person.
Alvin.
“Lawson, you … brother? What are you doing here?”
Recently, Alvin went abroad on a business trip, just after dealing with foreign matters, he rushed back to meet Adriana, who knew that he actually found Peter in Adriana’s office?
Unbelievable ….
His heart suddenly stalled slightly, his heartbeat seemed to have missed a beat.
Inexplicably nervous.
How did they get together?
“You’re here just in time, Mr. Alston wants to have lunch together, so we’ll be together.” Adriana said directly.
“Dinner?”
Alvin is even more unreadable.
Walking towards Peter, he asked, “Brother, don’t you like to dine with others? How come you’re so close to my Lawson after only one month of not seeing him?”
His Lawson?
I have to say, a sentence makes Peter inexplicably a little upset.
“Lawson is Anne’s boyfriend, and Anne is Luis and Helen’s godmother, and the two kids went over to stay yesterday. As a token of appreciation, it’s only natural to invite him to dinner.”
Just now, it was clearly the man who asked her to invite him to dinner.
When Alvin arrived, he immediately changed his explanation.
“Boyfriend?”
Alvin felt his brain was not enough, where is this going?
The questioning eyes fell on Adriana, making her uncomfortable, and she immediately explained, “Yes, yes, Anne is Luis and Helen’s godmother, and we met yesterday, and the two children were crying and wanting to sleep with Anne.”
There are some things she doesn’t dare to say in front of Alvin.
The whole boyfriend thing has always been Anne’s nonsense.
She also did not bother to explain, so … it … became a real thing in the eyes of others.
“And you’re letting Luis live there with Helen? Are you crazy?”
Alvin, slightly agitated, questioned.
The words fell and felt something wrong, immediately changed his mouth and said: “You and Anne can not even take care of themselves, but can also take care of big brother’s children? Stop it. They are at the age of learning and need daily tutoring, you are so busy, do you have time?”
