Go?
“Er … right, yes.”
Adriana didn’t know what to say, so she followed his words.
“Why should Mr. Boone be in a hurry? Why not stay and have dinner together? You’ve had a busy day and it’s not appropriate to leave now.” Peter lifted his wrist and looked at his wristwatch time, 5:30 p. m.
Then he said, “Thirty minutes to dinner, you are waiting for a moment? By the way, there is a Clear Bay project to talk to you about.”
“Clear Bay Project?”
Adriana was puzzled, “Didn’t you promise not to be in the bidding?”
“No, it’s something else.”
Peter said.
Then walking towards the side, “Come with me.”
Adriana followed him into the study with him.
In the study, several years have passed, the layout has not changed, everything is the same as before, so Adriana feels extraordinarily familiar, everywhere full of memories, beautiful but also full of sadness.
Peter stood at his desk and took a copy of the information and handed it to her, “I’m not going to bid on Clear Bay, but this information will certainly be useful to you. Here you go.”
Adriana took the information and looked at it. It was all about the background of some Clear Bay residents and the concept of the design of the tourist resort project.
It was the same as handing over all of the Alston Group’s previous preparations for the Clear Bay Project to her.
So …
Adriana was a little confused, “Why did Mr. Alston treat me …”
The man’s eyes were dark and uncertain, his handsome face was covered with vicissitudes, he turned and walked to a floor-to-ceiling window, stood still, sighed and said: “Since Luis and Helen’s mother died, the two children have rarely seen them so happy. As a father, I can give fatherly love but I can’t replace their mother.
And you and Anne are very good to them, and the children love you. The maid called me today to say that the two children are extraordinarily obedient and well behaved with you. So I don’t have any other requests, I just hope you can come and spend more time with Luis and Helen in the future.”
Adriana’s pupils shrink slightly, looking down at the heavy information in her hand, her heart is even heavier.
I always thought Peter was a thin-hearted man, but it turns out that for children, he can really do this selfless.
“I … and Anne are very fond of Helen and Luis, and Helen used to play with Anne when we were in Los Angeles before, and Anne used to pick her up in Los Angeles. Perhaps the child is quite affectionate and attached to us.”
Adriana was a little glad that Anne was Helen’s godmother, and that Anne had a good relationship with Helen and Luis during the years when she was no longer there.
If not, he Lawson’s identity is now really embarrassing.
“I did my research about my mother and Sloane, I’m sorry I misunderstood you.”
The man turned, looked at her, and said, “Ask me anything you want, and I will do my best to satisfy you.”
Peter usually has very little control over Sloane, so he doesn’t believe that Sloane would do something like that, let alone that his mother would actually accuse Lawson falsely because she dotes on Sloane.
“No need.”
Adriana raised the information in her hand, “These are the best returns, but Mr. Alston is better to control Sloane properly, otherwise … one day she will plant her heels.”
“Hmm.”
The man responded.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward as the two men looked at each other speechless.
Adriana touched her nose, “That … then you are busy, I will go down first.”
“Mr. Boone?”
Seeing him about to leave, Peter called out, “Can you add a What’s App?”
“What’s App?”
Adriana pursed her lips and nearly laughed out loud.
She never thought that Peter would have the day to ask for the What’s App.
“No. …”
Instinctively want to refuse, but a flash of light, immediately turned around and handed the phone over, “I’ll sweep you What’s App code it.”
Why not add it?
In any case, Peter’s What’s App will have the two children’s dynamic, although not involved in the process of two children growing up, but at least can feel something.
However, Adriana was wrong.
What’s App friends through, she immediately entered Peter’s circle of friends, the results … a blank.
“Mr. Alston, why don’t you have a circle of friends?”
She added her friend just to see the dynamics Peter posted and read about the past of the two children, who knew that … fell for it.
“I never post dynamics.”
The man returned, raising his hand to his phone, the screen pointed at Adriana, “Isn’t yours blank too?”
“Oh, yes, yes, I’m like you, I never send friends.”
Not sending?
She is a little man dressed as a man, how dare she send a friend circle?
With a sarcastic smile, he turned around and went downstairs.
In the evening, the family of five dined together.
“Here, Luis, don’t you like fish, have some more, and Helen, your roast pork, have some more too.”
At the dinner table, before Adriana could add food for the two children, Sloane had already given the two children dishes, with a gentle look.
Luis looked at the dishes in the bowl, “Aunt ah, since childhood you will only pinch these two dishes with Helen and me, I … am so tired of eating ah.”
“Yeah auntie, I don’t want to eat either.”
Helen nods her head.
Both children served the dish into Sloane’s bowl at the same time.
She was unsure, “Didn’t you used to like it a lot?”
“That’s because Mommy loves to eat.”
The two children spoke in unison, then Helen added, “We don’t want Mommy now, we’re fine with Godmother and Lawson, so don’t eat that dish anymore.”
Adriana held her chopsticks with a slightly firm grip, bowed her head and ate without speaking.
Because, she really did not know what to say.
Instead, Peter’s secretive eyes flashed and he sighed, “It’s good to forget.”
“Lawson, here you go. Let me tell you, my brother’s cooking that is absolutely first-class, you try it.” Lawson stuffed the bowl of dishes into Lawson’s bowl.
Because she never eats from other people’s bowls.
Lawson glanced at her, then at the children, and, noticing the expectant looks of the two children, bowed his head and ate the dish.
At that moment, it was Sloane’s eyes that flashed a little incredulity.
After dinner, Adriana played for a while and then said to Luis and Helen, “Be good, you must behave at home, okay? I’m going back.”
“Well … really want to go?”
“Yeah, can I stay?”
As soon as they heard that Adriana was leaving, the two children couldn’t let go and immediately came up, hugging Adriana’s thighs tightly.
“Isn’t Mr. Boone coming over tomorrow? Why don’t we rest here for the night?” Peter suggested.
“No, no, no, I’ll come over tomorrow, tomorrow.”
She is now a woman dressed as a man, much inconvenience, of course, can not stay.
Adriana told the two children to come back tomorrow, and they spared her.
Adriana spent two days of the weekend at Orchard House, with Sloane constantly pestering her, but nothing too much, so that’s fair enough.
When we returned to work on Monday, the finance department tallied the company’s losses and sent the bills to Alston Group in person.
