Adriana knows that Flora likes Jenkins, but whether Jenkins likes Flora or not she is not sure.
But Jenkins came to beg Vivian about Flora, but not to Edward, so it is clear that he is afraid of Edward.
He, like Flora.
Adriana can feel that Jenkins likes Flora, but does not dare to show too obviously, only wants to help Flora in silence, probably because he knows that The Hale family can not afford to marry the Henderson Family Missy.
He was afraid of Edward to the bone.
‘Lawson’ and Anne suddenly returned, Jenkins frowned slightly, slightly flustered face flashed a little restrained look.
“Lawson?”
He called out, hesitantly walked up to her and said, “Lawson, can you …”
“Can’t!”
Adriana threw the briefcase in her hand directly on the table, took off her trench coat and rested it on the sofa, sitting on the sofa with her lazy legs folded, sweeping her cold eyes at him, “Why should I let LOC go and what qualifications do you have to talk to me?”
Jenkins is her brother, the son of her adoptive mother.
Adriana has always been fond of Jenkins because in The Hale family’s extended family, Jenkins is the only one who treats her well.
I just didn’t expect that one day Jenkins would actually come begging her for Flora’s business.
“I …”
Although Jenkins is the president of YY Law Firm, it is a far cry from the Fryer Group.
He will naturally have a few humble moments in front of ‘Lawson’.
Tipping his head to look at Vivian, he seemed to be waiting for Vivian to speak up and ease the embarrassment for him.
“Go back, I can’t possibly promise you that.”
Adriana put down a sentence, and then added, “Unless, you have a good reason!”
Anne and Vivian subconsciously looked at Adriana, and then their eyes slowly fell on Jenkins’ body.
“Enough reason?”
Jenkins was a little confused as to what reason would be considered sufficient.
Seeing his hesitation, Adriana asked, “Do you like Flora?”
“Like.”
Jenkins hesitated for a moment and returned.
Sure enough, he really likes Flora.
Adriana immediately said, “the Henderson Family is rich, high status, I advise you to recognize yourself, early break should not have thoughts.”
And not to mention the Henderson Family’s background strength, single Edward that poor character, Adriana felt that Jenkins simply can not marry Flora.
If you know the story has no ending, why do you insist on it again and again?
“That’s my business, it has nothing to do with you.”
Jenkins most taboo is between him and Flora, Adriana touched his scales, so much so that he was slightly humble in front of her, but now with an inexplicable anger.
“Good.”
Adriana slightly jawed, a decent light smile on her handsome face, her right hand slightly raised in a ‘please’ gesture, “Mr. Hale, please.”
Sending guests.
Jenkins was in an awkward position, his hand tightening on his briefcase, his gaze falling back on Vivian as he stared at Adriana.
Finally withdrawing his gaze, he walked away without a word.
“Wait.”
Jenkins had just reached the living room door when she heard ‘Lawson’ call out.
He took a step and turned slowly, his probing gaze directed to ‘Lawson’, “Mr. Boone what is it?”
“There’s nothing wrong with trying to get me to let Flora go …”
Adriana got up, walked over to him, locked eyes with him for a moment, and walked around him, “Come out with me.”
The sudden change of attitude and the mystery of ‘him’ made Jenkins a bit puzzled.
Followed him out and stood at the end of the hallway of the apartment, looking through the window at the snowflakes drifting outside, Adriana said quietly, “I want … to ask you something about Adriana.”
At Floedan, Raylan reminds her that there may be a big secret behind her identity.
Before Raylan reminded her, she only had occasional wild guesses and did not take them seriously.
But now all sorts of things come one after another, but let Adriana think there must be something wrong with the identity.
“Adriana?”
Jenkins’ complexion changed slightly, and his eyes were obscure.
“To be precise, it was to ask your mother something about Adriana.”
Adriana finished and added, “You should know that Anne was my girlfriend and we both knew Adriana, and although she passed away, I want to help her find her mother. This is … Adriana’s ‘last wish’.”
That was all she could say to gain Jenkins’ trust.
Jenkins’ eyes burned into him, as if trying to peer through her eyes to find out what was going on in her mind.
When Adriana saw him deep in thought, she said, “Contact me when you’ve thought about it.”
The words fell and went straight away.
Entering the living room and closing the door, Anne and Vivian looked at her and asked in unison, “What did you want to talk to him about?”
“You wouldn’t have told her the truth, would you?” Anne asked again.
“Nothing, just advised him to stay away from Flora.”
Adriana didn’t tell the truth and was worried that if they knew too much it would lead to more trouble.
“Vivian, how are you feeling? Feeling better?”
She walked up to Vivian and asked, “Has Edward asked you for anything else in the last two days?”
“He …”
Vivian wanted to say something, and her folded hands tightened slightly, “No, didn’t look for me.”
Her subtle facial expressions and body changes fell into Adriana’s eyes, allowing her to pierce through the difference, “No, that’s good. Take a good rest in the last few days and return to work when you are well.”
…
Fryer Group.
Adriana spent the last three days on official business, because the trip to Floedan had overwhelmed a lot of work, so she had to work hard.
Seeing that today is already the 24th day of the lunar month, the night of the festival.
The company took all annual leave.
Buzz-
The phone on the table vibrates and rings, interrupting Adriana who is fully engaged in her work.
She answered the phone while flipping through her papers, “What’s up?”
“Mr. Boone, today is a holiday, can I … go back to spend the holiday with my mom?” On the other side of the phone, Vivian said.
“Of course it’s no problem. The company is already closed today, so you don’t have to come back if you go back, spend a good time with your aunt and uncle and say hello for me by the way.”
“Thank you Mr. Boone, you and Anne come with me to my house for New Year’s Eve.”
“Yes, of course it’s good.”
“That’s fine, Mr. Boone I’ll go back and prepare the good food first, you guys come together later.”
Hang up the phone, Adriana put down the file, leaning on the executive chair, looking at the phone screen, frowned and thought, then called Anne.
“Anne, have you investigated what you were told to investigate?”
After returning to Waverly a few days ago, Adriana clearly felt that Vivian looked gloomy and was hiding something in her heart, so she asked Anne to investigate secretly.
“As you said. Vivian should be threatened by Edward, I was not quite sure before, but just saw Edward and Vivian arguing in the street, I was standing far away to hear not too clearly, but vaguely heard ‘do not hurt my mother’ or something. ”
Anne told Adriana the truth about the two days of tracking.
“Got it.”
Adriana sighed softly, raised her hand to rub her brow, and added, “It’s holiday night, so let’s dine together at Vivian’s tonight.”
