Peter went to the study to rest, but Theresa eagerly poured a cup of coffee for him and knocked on the door to bring it to the study.
“Peter, I’m leaving later, see you’re so busy to make you a cup of coffee.”
Theresa walked into the study and closed the door, a little shade flashing across that smiling innocent face.
Peter, who is buried in his office, crackled his fingers on the keyboard, his eyes unblinkingly looking at the documents on the computer.
“Put it here, I’ll drink it later.”
He said coldly.
Theresa’s eyes flickered and she looked a little flustered, “I have freshly ground coffee, it won’t taste so good when you drink it later. You try it, it won’t delay your work.”
Delicate hot gold white porcelain saucer holding a carved cup, filled with a full cup of coffee, in the room with air conditioning still looks like a cigarette curl.
The dizzying heat hazed Theresa’s face, which held a wry smile.
Peter frowned, stopped the work at hand, swept a sideways glance at Theresa, while a deep gaze at the cup of coffee, thoughtful end up, placed in front of the lips, blew the air.
Thump thump thump –
With each subtle movement of Peter, Theresa’s heartbeat could not be restrained from beating faster, her heart hanging in her throat, so nervous that she forgot to breathe.
The eyes were fixed straight on the cup of coffee he was holding, with vague expectations.
“Theresa …”
The man suddenly sends down his coffee and his narrow phoenix eyes fall on her, “What’s the feud between you and Lawson?”
It’s Adriana again!
Hearing Peter mention ‘Lawson’, Theresa’s face chilled for a few minutes, “No. Oh, Peter, it’s hard to give you a cup of coffee, you do not taste. Hurry up, drink it and I’ll go back, so it’s a way to say goodbye to the past.”
Since she said so, Peter could not resist.
I had to drink the coffee cleanly and then put the cup on the cup holder, “Okay, I’m still busy with something, you go out first.”
“Okay, you get busy then.”
Theresa’s smile grew more and more enigmatic as she turned and walked out, closing the door behind her.
At that moment, standing in the doorway, she looked at the man working inside through the doorway and said, “Peter, after today, you will belong to me, Theresa, and no one can take you away from me!
“Hey, what are you doing?”
Suddenly a sound, scared Theresa’s face changed.
Turning back to Sloane, she gave her a blank look, “Don’t you walk with a voice?”
“Gee, I’m to blame for being a thief.”
Sloane teased.
“Don’t bother.”
Theresa walked around her and walked away.
Downstairs, Theresa went to the bathroom, closed the door, and opened her phone to look at the time on it.
Thirty minutes past twelve.
She bought the most overpowering and powerful drug, the effect of the drug can take effect in ten minutes, twenty minutes will be enough to the extreme.
Watching the time pass on the phone screen, for her every moment is torturous.
Listening to the laughter of Adriana and Luis in the hall outside, God knows how jealous Theresa was.
Both four years ago and now, she lost to Adriana.
This time, Theresa had to recognize reality, which is why … came up with this despicable tactic.
Ten minutes later.
Theresa took a look at the glass mirror in the bathroom, organized her hair, painted the most sultry fiery red lipstick, pursed her lips, boasted of her flirtatious style and threw a wink at the mirror, put away the lipstick and went out of the bathroom then went upstairs.
Knock Knock-
Knock on the door of the study.
Peter’s voice came from inside, “Come in.”
She pushed the door open and walked in just in time to catch a glimpse of Peter tugging at his tie with what appeared to be some anxiety.
Theresa laughed it off and once again set a dejected and despondent cheek as she walked up to him, “Peter, that … I … I’ve thought about it and I’ve decided… … to go on a blind date. But … I’m a little scared, can you send me?”
She took his arm and shook it.
“You go on a blind date and ask me to come with you? Not appropriate.”
“What is not suitable ah, are you to introduce me to people, of course you have to go ah, after all, you have to help me to keep watch.”
“I’m not finished with the work at hand.”
“Peter, you just said that my life is important, and now you won’t put down your work for me?”
Theresa let go of him as soon as she could, pretending to sulk and droop her cheeks.
In the end, Peter could not withstand Theresa’s softness and, naturally, more guilt towards her.
After all, Theresa has been with him for more than a decade, and Peter, even if his nature is cold, is certainly not a thin-hearted and cold-blooded person.
“Okay, just give me three minutes.”
“Really? Then thanks Peter.”
Theresa was ecstatic and waited quietly on the sidelines, her hands nervously interlocked, her fingertips tapping on the back of her hand once or twice.
Three minutes later, Peter shut down his computer, “Let’s go.”
The two walked out of the study together, talking and laughing.
Adriana, who was sitting on the sofa in the hall, was facing in their direction and had a good view of the two men’s speech and behavior.
At that moment, Adriana felt that the handsome man and woman burned her eyes.
She immediately lowered her eyelids and stood up, “Okay, that’s it for today, I have some things I need to take care of this afternoon, you guys study well at home, okay?”
She suddenly felt she shouldn’t be here, ruining the happiness and beauty of someone else’s family.
“Well … Lawson, are you leaving now?”
“Can we play a little longer?”
Luis and Helen both begged him.
Instead, Sloane sat on the sofa, his feet lazily crossed on the low table, a lollipop in his mouth, watching ‘Lawson’, silent.
“Good boy, I really have something to do. But I can promise you guys that I’ll take you to eat good food in a couple of days, okay?”
“Really?”
“Not going to lie?”
“Of course not.”
Adriana smiles and agrees.
After rubbing the heads of her two children, she walked straight away.
“Lawson, what are you doing?”
The person had just taken two steps when she heard Peter calling out to her.
“Something wrong?”
Adriana turned back with an indifferent look on her face.
“You’re going back?”
Peter asks.
Adriana’s contemptuous eyes looked Peter up and down for a moment, disdainfully withdrew her eyes, picked up the trench coat from a side hanger, put it on, and walked straight away.
“I’ll drive you.”
Peter knew she was leaving and said immediately.
When she heard that she had to give Adriana a ride, Theresa immediately got nervous and pulled her lips, just as she was about to refuse, she heard Adriana say, “No, I’m driving the car.”
“That’s right Peter, you send her back, what about her car.”
She tugged on Peter’s sleeve, “You’d better hurry up and see me off, I have to get my hair done later and then go meet the guy you recommended, otherwise I’m afraid no one else will see me.”
In the interval when Theresa was pulling Peter to talk, Adriana had already gotten into the car, started the limo and left.
