“Yeah? An apology?”
Theresa stood with her arms around Peter’s chest and surveyed him, “Mr. Boone is empty-handed, is this the right attitude to apologize?”
“Theresa.”
Peter called out and said, “You and Anne are friends after all, this … is not very good.”
“What’s not good?”
Theresa turned around and walked to the sofa, sat down with her legs folded, looked to the side with her head in exasperation, and muttered, “Anne has always treated Adriana as a friend, as a best friend, not taking me seriously at all, so why should I take her seriously? You don’t know what happened yesterday, she was determined to kill me, I’m not that much of a saintly bitch. She wants to kill me, how can I …”
Seo turned back to Adriana with a stern look, “Yung her!”
Her meaning is clear: she wants to put Anne behind bars.
“She’s Luis and Helen’s godmother. It’s hard for me to explain to the children when you do that. Besides, the child will have a stigma against you.”
Without waiting for Adriana to speak, Peter had already spoken, walked up to Theresa and said in a calm tone.
“Peter, don’t you think you’re being too selfish?”
Theresa was so angry that she stood up, raised her hand and poked her chest, and said, “For four years, you have clearly seen how I feel about my two children, and Anne treats me like that, isn’t it because she is the godmother of the two children, so she is reckless? You as my fiance, do not consider for me?”
If Peter had interceded for Anne in private, she could have accepted it, except that Adriana was present today.
After four years, she didn’t want to be a disgraceful defeat for Adriana once again.
“So what are you going to do?”
Peter asked.
Adriana listened to the two men chatting over there, and she was not anxious, leaning leisurely against the desk, her arms around her chest, her eyes falling on the gently shaking toes of her shoes, thoughtfully remaining silent.
“Follow the legal process, of course. Isn’t she Anne a lawyer, I’d like to see what she wants to do to excuse herself.”
The words are sharp, with a hard edge in the words, always looking at Adriana when she speaks.
“Stop it. Anne is Lawson’s girlfriend, and you and Lawson still work together …”
“I don’t care.”
No matter how Peter spoke, Theresa’s attitude was firm, “This time I will make sure Anne goes to jail and will not let her go!”
It was so hard to find an opportunity, how could it be easy to let go?
Peter persuaded a few times and found that Theresa was greasy.
The cold face cold a few points, harsh gaze stared at her, and finally, he lightly pursed thin lips pulled, want to say something, but suddenly turned to leave.
“Peter? Peter?”
Theresa called out to the man, but the man walked away without looking back.
Didn’t even look at Adriana as she walked past him.
Obviously, angry.
Snapping-
The moment she waited for the office door to close, Adriana raised her hand and clapped it gently, applauding her. “Tsk … a good hand of cards played thin. Theresa, you still haven’t changed after a few years.”
Still so foolish.
“Ad…”
Theresa almost shouted her real name in a fit of anger, but when she thought that she was in the company and was afraid that there were ears on the wall, she immediately changed her tone and said, “Lawson, don’t be arrogant and domineering in front of me. This time I’ve made up my mind to make Anne suffer.”
At the end, that ruthless look glared at Adriana and added, “At all costs!”
Adriana propped her hands on the edge of the table, her fingers slightly tightened, still a little worried, I must say.
After all, Anne is not too young, if really in jail, that life will add a stain that can not be wiped off.
“Is that so?”
She laughed.
“What are you laughing at?”
Theresa couldn’t read the chill in Adriana’s smile.
“Laughing at your incompetence, of course.”
She shrugged and continued, “Your real opponent is me, but you can’t do anything about me, so you can only find Anne and get angry. Is this what you think you can do? In my case, it’s just incompetence.”
“You … you … you say that again?!”
Theresa was furious at her words, her entire facial muscles trembled slightly, her face bursting red with anger, and she couldn’t wait to go up and strangle Adriana to death.
“From five years ago to now, have you ever beaten me? It’s just a defeat under the hand. Neither Peter nor Anne can win their hearts, what does that mean? It means you have a problem with your character.”
One is a man and one is a former BFF.
It’s just that every single one of them is not in her favor, so why not consider considering the reasons?
“Get out, get out!”
Theresa was furious and pointed at her.
With a glance, he found the cup on the table, copied it and smashed it towards her, yelling hysterically, “Get out, Lawson, I told you to get out, did you hear me?!”
The cup arced in mid-air and smashed straight towards Adriana.
She dodged with a flash of her body.
Bang–
With a crunching sound, the mug landed on Theresa’s desk and smashed on top of her laptop, spilling coffee all over the keyboard, and the mug shattered in response.
“So angry? Theresa, you’re not worthy to be my opponent! There is still a long way to go, we’ll see!”
Leaving the words behind, he ignored Theresa’s insulting voice behind him, pulled open the office door and walked straight away.
Who knows, just walking down the corridor, he saw Peter standing at the entrance of the elevator.
It seems that …
Waiting for her.
She subconsciously swallowed, gathered her emotions, and took a big step towards him, “Mr. Alston wants something?”
Peter was looking down in thought when he heard footsteps coming.
Turning back, he saw Lawson walking toward him.
The man frowned with a serious face, “I’m sorry I couldn’t help with Anne.”
“What happened to Anne had nothing to do with you, and I know you did your best.”
She really did not expect that Peter would approach Theresa to intercede for Anne after she was imprisoned.
Very amazed and incredulous.
“Anne is Luis and Helen’s godmother, as I should be.”
The man’s cool appearance is already a few years ago is the thing.
Peter is now extraordinarily approachable and grounded when he speaks to him, and can even be described as down-to-earth.
But when he faced Theresa, his face always brushed off the coldness, chilling.
Adriana had some self-doubt, could it be that he had already found out who she was?
Ding–
Elevator doors open.
The two men walked in.
In the elevator, the two men were on either side of each other, looking ahead, and the sudden silence felt a little awkward.
Adriana raised a hand to ruffle her short hair and said, “How have Luis and Helen been doing?”
“It’s okay.”
Peter responded, “Just making a fuss about you going over to teach them taekwondo, I said to find them a teacher, the kids didn’t agree.”
“Oh.”
Adriana gave an oh and lost it.
There was another moment of silence until they reached the first floor and the two exited the elevator, the man walking behind her.
