When the two arrived at the hospital, Anne immediately came over and said, “I just checked the security camera, Vivian left by herself, Edward hasn’t come since he left yesterday.”
That’s when the call came from Raylan.
He answered, glanced at Adriana and said, “Found it. vivian bought a ticket and went back to Waverly.”
“Nonsense!”
Adriana’s face was immediately unpleasant and she said angrily, “What does she want? Just go back, what’s the hurry?”
“Mr. Boone, don’t you have to go with Mr. Alston to talk about the project? Just ignore it, I’ll go back to her. It’s good to know where her mommy lives too, she won’t go anywhere else but there.”
“Okay, go ahead. anne, work hard, turn around and give yourself a break and get some rest.”
“Okay, then I’ll go first.”
Anne put on her backpack and went straight away.
Looking at her distant back, Adriana suddenly remembered Anne’s previous statement that Harlee had asked her to come back as her sidekick at a high price and would give Hale Cobb Law Firm a certain amount of income compensation.
Harlee went to a lot of trouble, why exactly?
Once again, Adriana felt that her identity really needed to be properly investigated.
Over here, Anne had just left when Adriana’s phone rang.
It was Peter’s phone.
“What is it?”
“It’s a nice day, come with me to see the old herbalist, there is no time to be delayed, otherwise if Brenden gets ahead of you and shortcuts you, the project will be ruined.”
Adriana doesn’t care about the success or failure of the project.
Although it is tempting to refuse, and embarrassed.
Then they had to agree.
“Raylan, I’ve taken up a lot of your time over the last few days, thanks. I have to go over to Peter to check out the project with him, and then I’ll be back in Waverly. contact me at Waverly then and buy you dinner.”
“I’m the one who’s missing a meal?”
“That’s not true. If I don’t want to eat, I happen to save it.”
“You think too much, a meal is not lacking, but come what may.”
The two separated at the hospital and waited for a while before Peter drove over and she got into the passenger side.
The car started slowly and went away in the dust.
On the way, Adriana asked rhetorically, “How come you haven’t seen Sandra?”
“I was on my way to pick her up and came to pick you up first.”
Peter looked ahead and answered while driving.
Adriana, who was in a good mood, listened to Peter’s words and instantly felt terrible to the extreme.
It was only yesterday that we met, but once we met, we couldn’t separate?
“I’m curious, you and Sandra just met and you’re like glue? Do you think of her as Adriana, or do you like her?”
The question, no matter how you ask it, smacks of acetic acid.
Peter tilted his head and gave her a look, “What do you think?”
“Nothing to do with me.”
She looked out the window with a somewhat sheepish inclination of her head.
“Sandra is from Floedan, her old home is quite close to the old herbalist’s house, so let her come over as a guide, it might come in handy.”
“Since you are here with the old Chinese doctor to talk about a cooperation project, don’t you know his home address?”
Adriana couldn’t help but tease out a comment.
Snort–
The man who was driving steeply hit the steering wheel to pull the car aside and turn off the engine.
Turning sideways, he looked at ‘Lawson’ sitting in the passenger seat and knitted his sword brow, “Why do I get the feeling you’re jealous?”
His eyes narrowed slightly, “Lawson, don’t tell me that you have eyes for me.”
Peter inexplicably felt a surge of anxious elation as he spoke.
“It’s hard to say that you didn’t want to admit it before, and now you see that I’m interested in other women, so you sincerely expose it?”
When Adriana didn’t say anything, he followed up with a question.
“I used to know you only as amorous, but now it seems you are self-absorbed.”
Adriana withdrew her gaze and looked ahead, “Drive!”
Minmin told himself a thousand times in his heart not to dwell on Peter’s personal affairs, everything is fine with him.
But every time she sees Peter flirting with another woman, she will be inexplicably annoyed.
The man’s gaze did not blink, looked for a long time, the side of his lips raised an arc, smiled.
Then slowly start the sedan.
Adriana sat in the passenger seat, not even looking at Peter.
At that moment, his phone rang and Peter answered it, “Sandra?”
A name, with tenderness and ambiguity, makes people involuntarily float.
“Okay, I got it.”
Peter hung up the phone, turned the car around, and turned back.
“What for?”
Adriana was a little unsure.
“Sandra said she went to the bar temporarily to get her paycheck, and I went over to pick her up.”
Peter seemed to give all his tenderness to the woman named Sandra.
Originally, the tenderness should have belonged to Adriana, but now it is given to another woman who resembles her.
Adriana’s heart was rather uncomfortable and stuck in her throat.
“Stop the car!”
She said suddenly.
“What’s wrong?”
“I said stop!”
She inclined her head and glared at Peter with sharp eyes, “Do you not understand what I’m saying?”
Peter was stunned for a moment and pulled over to the side of the road.
Adriana pulled open the door, got out of the car right away, and slammed it shut with a heavy thud.
It was a scene that Peter could not understand.
Lowered the window and leaned down to look at him, “You’re angry?”
That look, just like a little daughter-in-law aggrieved look, cross look are angry, and definitely because of Sandra’s matter angry.
“Mr. Alston, although the cooperation project with you is from the Flair Group, it was Harlee who forced me to sign. I think it is better for you to go to the old Chinese doctor with Harlee personally. I still have some business in my company, so I won’t accompany you.”
Adriana dropped the words, turned around and walked away.
“Lawson? Lawson?”
Peter called a few times, not ‘Lawson’ turned around, but the lonely back made him a heartbreak.
Turned off the car, pushed the door and got out, and went after it.
“You stand still.”
He raised his voice and yelled, and Adriana really stopped in her tracks.
Standing in place, quietly listening, next to the ears in addition to the blazing cold wind whistling past, it is the sound of tiny footsteps closer and closer.
Adriana stared ahead at the cars speeding by on the highway, and she cursed herself for not being able to fight.
I said I would ignore it and not get angry and furious about him, but when I really faced it, I still couldn’t restrain my emotions.
Women are afraid of moving. Emotion, really moving. Emotion, want to restrain are not so easy.
She couldn’t do it in waves, bland as water.
He came around to Adriana, “Sandra she … I know very well that she is not Adriana, but … I just want to feel something. Once, I left a lot of regrets about Adriana, and I want to make up for it.”
“So, you’re taking your guilt over Adriana and planning to make it up to Sandra?”
That’s ridiculous.
“Maybe that’s the only way to let go of yourself.”
“Instead of making substitutes and emotional outbursts to a woman you don’t know, it’s better to make up for all the guilt you feel for Adriana to Luis and Helen.”
She finished, gathered the collar of her trench coat and looked away, “You don’t have to tell me about your business, it has nothing to do with me.”
