Thump, thump-
Adriana’s heart was racing, she couldn’t stop gulping, and even her eyes were shimmering a little.
What does that mean?
It is not possible that the impulse to go out in the afternoon to look for Vivian, was wet by the rain makeup, so that he found the end?
She stood nervously, her mind turning a hundred times in just a moment.
“Awareness.”
Adriana nodded back.
She clearly found that when her words fell, the man’s hand holding the wine glass obviously tightened a few points, and his handsome face changed color a few points.
“Maybe it’s a past life thing.”
Adriana added immediately afterwards, as if all the words were deliberately flirting with Peter.
She hooked her lips in a smile and walked away.
Left alone Peter, face gloomy like ink, raised his glass of wine and drank it all.
At that moment, the cell phone he had placed on the table rang.
Looking at the name displayed on the phone screen, it was Theresa’s.
“What is it?”
He asked.
“Peter, do you remember what you were told yesterday?”
Theresa asked.
Naturally, she was talking about the woman who looks a bit like Adriana.
“Say what you have to say.”
Seems to be in a bit of a bad mood, and he seems to be talking a bit mean.
“That person is also in Floedan now, if you want to see, I can ask her to come to you.” Theresa hesitated a bit before adding, “If … you don’t want to meet, I guess you won’t have a chance later. Because she … has to leave the country first thing tomorrow morning. In the future, then will not be back.”
Peter’s originally firm heart was surprisingly a bit loosened after hearing Theresa’s words.
Adriana?
The woman who lives only in the memories left by the surveillance video is the one he thinks about day and night, but can’t see again.
But it is also his lifelong regret.
Theresa suddenly said so, and Peter’s thin, thick lips pursed into a straight line, hovering on the edge of seeing and not seeing.
“Well, Peter, I see what you mean. In that case, it’s better not to see each other anymore. After all, Adri is no longer there, and there is no need for you to see her again. I’ll hang up now. …”
Theresa spoke very slowly and said she was going to hang up, but she waited for a long time without hanging up.
In the end, I couldn’t wait to hear back from the other side of the phone.
She sighed with some regret and took the phone to her eyes, wanting to hang up the phone.
“Where is she in person?”
Just as Theresa was extending her thumb, she heard Peter’s words and immediately withdrew her hand, with a smile of satisfaction under her eyes that she couldn’t hide, with a hint of calculation.
“Go wait for her in the hall, she’ll be there soon.”
Theresa hung up the phone.
After that, a call was made to the woman, “Now you are ready to go, and I hope you will not let me down. This time is a step up to the top, if you miss it, you will lose this opportunity forever.”
“Theresa, thank you, I will not fail you.”
“That’s good, wait for you to behave.”
Theresa smiled gratefully and looked at the hung-up phone, the smile on her cheeks gradually chilled a few points.
“The good show is starting, I wonder if Adriana is ready?”
She immediately made another call to Adriana, the phone rang for a while the other party did not answer, Theresa thought Adriana would not answer the phone, who knows that there came Adriana’s voice, “call what is the matter?”
Once she saw that it was Theresa’s phone, Adriana wanted to hang up at first, but thought about the orders Harlee had given her that the next step was to acquire the Lindsay Group.
At that moment she had mixed feelings.
The ghost answered the phone.
“Of course I miss you, my good sister.”
She speaks with that kind of smugness that makes people chill.
Adriana lifted a hand to ruffle her hair on her forehead and said with little patience, “If calling means making small talk with me, I’m sorry, I don’t have time. You’d better get to the point.”
The tone and attitude are almost the same as Peter’s.
The resemblance between the two made her heart quite upset and her face turned a few shades colder, “Adriana, oh no … should call you ‘Mr. Boone’, the person most people in this world know is Lawson, not Adriana. You say, if one day, someone has taken your place, what to do?”
Provocation, naked provocation.
Adriana’s eyebrows tightened and a chill flashed under her eyes, “Theresa, what do you want?”
“Twenty minutes from now, Asnana Hotel lobby, you can go down and have a look, there will be a surprise.”
She said a beat, and added: “not to go can regret it, miss the big show, regret for life, don’t blame me for not reminding you.”
“What do you mean, Ther…”
Adriana wanted to say something else, but Theresa had already hung up the phone.
She held the phone, her eyebrows knitted together, and always had a bad feeling coming to her mind.
What is Theresa up to this time?
She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down on the outside, watching the gradual appearance of many pedestrians on the highway, then knew that the road water must be gradually receding.
She wanted to take a taxi and leave, but when Theresa’s words came to her mind, her silent heart couldn’t help but be curious to know what was going on.
After twenty minutes of tormenting Adriana, she gathered everything and pulled the door open, ready to go out.
When I opened the door, I saw Peter walking out from next door.
“You’re leaving?”
Peter looked at her and asked.
“Hmm.”
Adriana returned perfunctorily.
Without too many words, the two got on the elevator together, pressed the button for the first floor, and the elevator doors closed, slowly going down.
“What do you want?”
Adriana stood beside Peter and couldn’t stop asking.
It seemed vaguely like Peter was choosing to go downstairs now, could it be because Theresa had also called Peter?
I always felt that Theresa must have something to do with the matter.
“Go down to … and meet a friend.”
“Friends?”
Adriana’s face sank and she murmured thoughtfully.
Could it be that the big show Theresa just mentioned has something to do with Peter?
The man was not talking, and Adriana could not ask any more questions.
The two men stared forward and remained silent.
Ding–
The downward elevator eventually stopped on the first floor and the doors opened.
Peter stood unmoving, seemingly waiting for Adriana to go down first.
Adriana stepped out and Peter saw her walk away before walking out.
The woman walking in front of her walked slowly to the hotel lobby, deliberately slowing her pace in order to wait for the ‘big show’ that Theresa was talking about, holding her cell phone and pretending to be making a call.
And at this moment, the hotel lobby appeared a girl wearing black high-waisted pants, with a white lace. Silk bottom, coat a khaki windbreaker girl, her neck tied with a red scarf, wearing a beret, slightly curly long hair draped and hanging, shoulders carrying a shoulder bag.
Simple dress, look déjà vu.
And what shocked Adriana the most was the woman’s face …
Not far away looking over, that person actually looks exactly like her …!
To be precise, it is exactly like Adriana.
The resemblance is unmistakable, both in face and behavior.
