The unforgiving gesture, angry Theresa face slightly red.
But thinking about what’s on his mind, he finally calmed down.
Once again, I picked up the tea and handed it to him, “Mr. Boone, please forgive me for my bad attitude just now. Since you are here, why don’t you taste Waverly’s special Dragon Well, it tastes excellent.”
Adriana’s eyes scanned the delicate white porcelain tealight, paused for a few seconds, took the tea and took a sip.
After a moment, he put down his cup and said, “Say something straight, I don’t like to beat around the bush.”
“Here’s the deal. …”
Theresa saw her drink her tea, so she accepted her apology, sat down opposite Adriana, smiled and said, “Actually, I came here today to discuss a personal matter with you.”
“Say.”
The ‘man’ attitude is as cold as basalt ice, his eyes are contemptuous, his face is full of impatience and disgust.
That look, where is the appearance of a woman?
Although the facial features have a few similarities with Adriana, but Adriana is a sensual and gentle woman, definitely not his current dangling look.
So the doubts that arose yesterday were instantly dispelled.
“Then I’ll be … straightforward. luis and Helen are Peter’s children …”
“Pick up the point.”
Before Theresa could say a word, Adriana gave a soft rebuke.
“Oh … good.”
Even though Theresa’s heart is not happy, but still restrained her anger, said: “I want you to send Luis and Helen to Orchard House, two children are Peter’s heart, he is very heartfelt children. The two children live in your house, not to mention the trouble you have caused, but also forced Peter also live there to go. He actually is not worried about the two children.”
What she said Adriana knew in her heart.
I have to admit, Peter was a disappointment to her back then, but the sense of responsibility and commitment to the children really touched Adriana.
“Anne is the children’s godmother, the children just want to be with Anne, there’s nothing I can do about that.”
Is there nothing that can be done?
Just selfishly wanting to spend more time with my children and make up for years of forced neglect and care for them.
“You are Anne’s boyfriend, Anne will definitely listen to you, Mr. Boone, please help me, Peter is my fiance, how can you bear to let us live in two places like this?”
Theresa dropped her stance and begged.
Adriana’s hand holding the tea cup gave a slight pause, and then took a sip.
“Why wouldn’t I put up with it? It’s not like it’s my fiancé.” She smiled blandly.
The laugh seemed to mock Theresa, but in fact it was a satire of her own tragic and dramatic life.
After a few twists and turns, Theresa is finally by Peter’s side, the woman who has always been by his side.
“You …”
Theresa was dumbfounded.
Angry end of the tealight took a large sip of tea, indignantly said: “If it were not because of you guys I would be living in two places with Peter?”
“What a joke. You’ve been with Mr. Alston for four years, and you can’t even maintain a good relationship with each other, what does that have to do with me and Anne? Besides, the person you love is Mr. Alston, you should ask him to go back, not me!”
Adriana placed her glass on the table, “If I was called today just to talk about personal matters, I’m sorry, I have things to do, so I’m sorry.”
“Wait!”
Seeing that Adriana was leaving, Theresa got anxious.
Immediately said, “This time the cooperation of the development of new beauty products. You talk to my father about cooperation is 50-50 profit, so, if you can get Peter and the child back to Orchard House, how about I let 10% profit?”
She reached out and made a ‘six’ gesture, a gesture of self-proclaimed generosity.
Adriana laughed.
He touched the tip of his nose and smiled with contempt at the corners of his lips, “You think I’m short of that little money?”
“Seventy percent!”
Adriana: “…”
Theresa: “Seven point five percent at the most, no more!”
It’s true that Adriana is not short of money, but the investment in this partnership is huge, and seven point five percent is not a small amount. It seems that Theresa is really in love with Peter.
She wrinkled her brow and leaned back in the tai chi chair, looking at her, “I’m curious, you’ve been with Peter for four years, how come you’re not married yet?”
“I … us …”
Theresa’s eyes flickered, the anger on her cheeks faded, and then, like a little woman in love who has been left out, she looked down, her fingers pinching the corner of her coat, and said dejectedly, “I’m trying.”
“He doesn’t like you?”
Her words almost made Adriana sure of what she thought.
At that moment, the heart suddenly a soreness flooded with a slight pain, so she was very difficult.
Indefinable emotions, I do not know whether it is happy or sad.
But really feel that Theresa love humble.
Theresa kept her head down and didn’t say anything.
Accustomed to seeing Theresa’s arrogant and domineering look, Adriana was a little uncomfortable.
Finishing the last sip of tea from his cup, he got up and left.
Walking to the door of the box, she said, “Sign the contract, and I’ll have him move out today.”
Pulling open the door and walking out, he said to his secretary Rene, “Have Ms. Lindsay sign the contract and send it to the office.”
“Yes, Mr. Boone.”
Rene nodded.
Adriana leaves the teahouse and drives back to the office.
When I was on the road, I suddenly received an unfamiliar phone number.
“Hello, who is it?”
“Lawson, Anne is in my hands now, if you want her Rene to be unharmed you will come alone, or I will waste her!”
A familiar voice, no need to think about it to know who the other party is.
Adriana’s fingers holding the phone tightened slightly, clenching the bones white at the knuckles, angry, “Sloane, you were a child playing house? Is that funny?”
It’s just crazy.
Perhaps in the last life and Sloane two eight characters clash.
I’ve just returned to China and played against Sloane many times, and each time she behaved so childishly, like a child.
“Fuck you, who’s playing house with you? We’re on the roof of the Priasau Building. If you don’t come over, don’t blame me for being rude to Anne!”
“Uhhhhhhh …”
Sloane’s words fell, a sound of uh-uh came from inside, most likely covered the mouth, so you can not speak.
But listening to the voice, we can tell that the other party is indeed Anne.
After hanging up the phone, Adriana drove to the rotten Priasau Building.
On the way there, Rene gave her a call, “Mr. Boone, Ms. Lindsay has signed off on seven point five percent of the proceeds.”
“Good. You go back to the office right now, drop the work in hand and find me a new apartment.”
“Okay.”
As secretary, Rene didn’t ask many questions, he just had to execute.
Adriana hangs up the phone and continues driving.
I can’t help but feel a pang of sadness.
Willing to sign a contract with Theresa, not because the other side is giving away profits, but to make one thing clear to her.
With Peter is already in the past, not to continue to dwell on.
After spending five years of her youth, she did not want to spend the rest of her life on Peter’s body, did not want to disturb his life, as long as she knew that he was doing his duty to his two children, a father’s role will give her peace of mind.
Priasau Building.
Parked the car, Adriana stood in the middle of the wasteland of artemisia a person high, looking at which a rotten building, there are really a few blurred shadows on the roof of the building, can not be seen clearly from afar.
