“You stand still!”
The man stepped forward and took her by the hand, “Lawson, don’t make me do it!”
Peter pointed to the perimeter, “Look, the water has flooded up, there is no car at all, where do you want to go?”
“Nothing to do with you!”
She yelled loudly.
Pocket phone rang, the phone wrapped in a waterproof bag, and not so much as to get into the water.
Looking at the phone screen showing Raylan’s number, Adriana immediately answered, “Raylan, what’s the status?”
“Vivian has had an abortion and is resting now. edward is there, but don’t worry, with me here, he won’t take anyone away. But it’s raining so hard outside right now that the flights are stopped, so I can’t send her away.”
The bean-sized raindrops crackled on the raincoat, very noisy, even the other side spoke, she sounded a little difficult.
But luckily it was loud enough that she could barely hear it clearly.
“Okay then, you help me guard, make sure you don’t let Edward take Vivian!”
Now that Vivian has finished the surgery, she is relieved.
Without the child, there is less of a bond between Edward and Vivian, and not so much that Vivian will have too many unbreakable entanglements with Edward in the future.
The child is innocent, but it is the greatest misfortune to be born in that situation.
She put away her phone and inclined her head to look at Peter, and at that moment, he found the man’s unfathomable eyes staring at her.
Adriana’s heart thumped and she said something bad.
Immediately turned around and jogged all the way back to the hotel.
Fear of staying a little longer, the face of the makeup will be all gone, and then it will be completely exposed.
Back in the suite, Adriana locked the door behind her, went to the bathroom, washed up, changed her clothes and put on makeup.
Until the moment the person lazily lying on the sofa, the hanging heart finally fell, really scared to death.
When you think about it, you did just get a little impulsive and almost exposed your identity.
Next time, never do that.
Knock Knock-
There was a knock on the door outside.
“Who is it?”
“Me.”
Peter’s voice.
Adriana closed her eyes and lazily replied, “I’m sleeping, we’ll talk about it later.”
Don’t want Peter to come in.
The phone on the table vibrated and Anne’s name was displayed on the screen of the phone.
She immediately answered the phone and asked, “How is it? Is Vivian okay?”
“Mr. Boone, Edward is gone. Just … Vivian she seems to be in a very bad mood, if I guess correctly, a bit regretful to take the child, right?”
Anne told Adriana the truth.
Adriana wrinkled her brow at her words, “I understand, Vivian has been particularly eager for affection before, it’s all to be expected. Anyway, this child cannot be kept now. You should stay with her.”
Edward has gone, and her hanging heart has finally fallen.
It must be Peter’s side to create trouble for Edward succeeded, and also succeeded in distracting Edward.
“Yeah, I also think it’s not the right time for that kid at all, Vivian is too emotional and silly.”
“Okay, she’s in a bad mood, so watch what you say and do in front of her. When the rain stops, arrange for her to leave as soon as possible.”
“Okay.”
Adriana was relieved when she hung up the phone.
The knocking at the door did not stop, Adriana felt that she should thank Peter and simply got up, walked to the door and opened it, looking at Peter standing at the door, she did not mean to let him in, “Mr. Alston, what do you want from me?”
The man standing in the doorway also changed his clothes, black sweater, coat a gray tweed coat, short hair blowing a good look, light can be seen, very handsome, comparable to the type of man.
“How is Vivian’s matter being handled?”
Manly taste.
“It’s taken care of, thanks to you, to say the least.”
“And by thank you, you mean turning me away? Lawson, how much do you hate me?”
He sounded a bit forlorn, and there was some confusion and resignation in his despondency.
“Dislike is dislike, and it’s not to the point of dislike. Between you and I is just a partnership, but there are many men I work with, it is difficult to like every one of them?”
The poisonous Adriana dropped a sentence, and when he didn’t say anything for a long time, she asked again, “Is there anything else? If not, don’t disturb my sleep!”
She closed the door with a bang, shutting the man out directly.
Back in her room, Adriana had nothing to do, so she opened her laptop and started working.
Now the person is in Floedan, but he can still hold video conference with people in the company to deal with work.
By the time everything was done it was already evening.
Adriana got up, went to the window and looked at Floedan under the night, as the rain lightened up.
Her nervous heart gradually fell, as long as she waited for the rain to stop, she could go find Vivian.
After a break, the rain finally stopped at 8pm.
Adriana went downstairs for dinner and had just gone to the Western restaurant when Peter appeared in front of her.
She held her knife and fork, cut her steak, and without looking at him, asked, “What are you doing over here?”
“Dining.”
Saying two words is the same as not saying them at all.
This, Adriana heard with a smile.
Then continue to dine with your head down, not in talking, the silence of the vacancy, are inclined to look out the window neon bright.
“The rain has stopped, when do you plan to leave?”
After a long moment of silence, Peter spoke up and asked.
“We’ll leave as soon as the water recedes.”
She an insomniac, when to sleep is the same, on the contrary, tired themselves lying down to fall asleep, that is what dreams are made of.
“When will you come with me to meet the old herbalist in the village?”
He came to Floedan to talk about the project cooperation, who knew that there was a heavy rain, which affected the work progress.
“Me?”
Adriana paused, her eyelids lifted slightly, looking at Peter, “Don’t you just go over there yourself, I don’t have time.”
“So, I’m working with you and all you have to do is pay for it? Or do you think The Alston family can’t put up that kind of money?”
Peter held his wine and sipped it while watching her.
“You were the one who begged for the cooperation in the first place, and I had nothing to do with it. Of course, if you want to cancel the cooperation, you are always welcome to do so. Don’t worry, with the relationship between us, I will definitely not charge a breach of contract.”
She couldn’t ask for more.
“The relationship between us, what relationship?”
The man propped his elbows on the table, holding his wine, leaning forward slightly, his complex eyes watching her, waiting quietly for her answer.
“Partnerships.”
The very official answer, like a pot of cold water instantly doused the little bit of fantasy that remained in the man’s heart.
Adriana made quick work of it, eating a steak and a pasta dish before pulling out a few tissues to wipe her mouth and getting up to leave.
“Mr. Alston eat slowly.”
She’s gone.
“Lawson?”
The man suddenly called out and she stopped walking, turned around and asked, “What is it?”
“Do we … know each other?”
