Although she knew that Edward and Vivian would be coupled up, she did not expect Edward to keep pestering Vivian.
Vivian must have been threatened with some kind of leverage, if not how would she have let Anne go to LA alone?
But since Vivian is hiding it, she has her reasons, so she can’t force it at the moment.
She went back to her room and pretended not to know anything.
She studies with Aaren during the day and trains with Aaren in the evening while Helen works with her teacher on new lessons.
Perhaps because of regular exercise, her wounds recover faster than normal.
As long as it is not a high-intensity stretching exercise, it will not affect the wound and will not be very painful.
“You’re not well enough to train intensely every day.” Aaren feels that Adriana’s training has been a little too intense in recent days.
“It’s okay, go ahead.”
Adriana endured her injuries and practiced sparring and grappling with Aaren constantly.
These large movements can easily pull the wound, but Adriana did not scream a pain.
“I’m exhausted, I’m not playing.”
Aaren persuaded ineffective, can only play the game themselves, lying on the ground to call for mercy.
Adriana Fang unclipped her gloves, took off her hat and left the training room.
After showering, Adriana lies in bed playing with her phone.
That’s how I found out that What’s App has several messages.
When I clicked on it, it was an unfamiliar picture, and after looking at the What’s App friend name I realized it was Theresa’s What’s App number.
[Is it a surprise that I’m pregnant?
[Adriana, I told you you can’t beat me, Peter will always be mine and mine alone].
[We’re getting married, I hope you won’t miss our wedding ceremony].
[Five years ago you showed up for my engagement to Peter; five years later you showed up for our wedding. adriana, don’t you think you’ll always be a sidekick in front of me?
A few messages, everywhere showing the other party’s smug high profile
Looking at the message, Adriana smiled, flung the phone aside, raised her hand and rubbed her temples, her mood unconcealably complex and irritable.
When she did not know her birth before, her determined heart had wavered in the face of Peter’s advances.
But I did not expect to reveal the past, after all the truth is revealed waiting for such a result.
How is it possible to say that you don’t hate?
Lying in bed, Adriana had a long time to sleep.
But thinking about going to work tomorrow, I took a sleeping pill and went to sleep.
Fryer Group.
Adriana appeared to everyone today in a woman’s outfit, so much so that she walked to the president’s office only to be stopped by Rene, “Who are you, please? An appointment is required to see our president.”
“Don’t know me?”
She tilted her head towards Rene and pursed her lips, speaking to Rene in ‘Lawson’s’ characteristic male voice.
“You … you … Mr. Boone?”
Rene understood the reason for this, even if he was stupid.
“So you’re a woman? You are Adriana … no, Ms. Hale?”
Rene’s jaw dropped, he covered his mouth in disbelief and shook his head, “That’s incredible. Ms. Hale, you really surprised me.”
This morning she received the news that a new person would be coming to the Fryer Group, and she thought it was really a new official.
I never thought it would be Mr. Boone, who I have been with for almost half a year.
Adriana pursed her lips and asked, “Come in and tell me about what’s been going on at the company lately.”
“Okay.”
Rene walked in and stood in front of the president’s desk and said in a respectful and serious manner, “Half a month ago, Mr. Gu signed a cooperation project with Mr. Alston of Aclurg Group. And the company …”
As the secretary general, Rene has a superb memory and an excellent ability to express himself, and it took him ten minutes to tell the whole story of what happened in the company for most of the month.
Adriana got a general idea of the situation and was fully engaged in her work by noon.
It was busy until noon when Harlee showed up at her office.
Adriana, who was working, glanced up at him with indifferent eyes, then looked down and continued working, oblivious to his arrival.
Harlee knew she was very unpopular with Adriana and was not offended, taking a cup of milk tea and placing it on her table, “Take a break and have a cup of milk tea. It’s Waverly’s most famous …”
“Sorry, I never drink milk tea.”
Without waiting for his words to speak, Adriana refused.
The man’s evil face was slightly embarrassed, and then a light smile emerged, taking out a dessert from the handbag he was carrying, “Waverly’s new Michelin store, this is the store’s hot tiramisu, it’s delicious. I made a reservation yesterday.”
Opened the dessert box and placed it beside Adriana, “Eat a little in busy.”
His voice was gentle to the extreme, genuinely wanting to pamper the little girl in front of him.
“Desserts can be fattening.”
Adriana held the contract in both hands and kept her head down looking at the terms of the contract, concentrating on it.
“A little bit of it, properly, won’t hurt.”
“Don’t eat.”
Once again, Adriana refused.
“That’s fine, I’ll eat.”
Harlee took a bite from the spoon to fill her mouth, but the rest of her eyes glanced at Adriana, and seeing that she was unresponsive, she passed a spoonful of tiramisu to her mouth, “Take a bite, just one, you’ll like it.”
Coaxing Adriana like a child.
“Harlee you bore …”
Some small emotions Adriana frowned and growled in displeasure. But the moment she raised her eyes, she looked at Harlee’s lips swirling with a light smile, her eyes full of a kind of brother to sister kind of doting little eyes …
The words that came to his lips were slowly swallowed back.
With slightly drooping eyelids, she looked at the spoonful of dessert, and with a few moments of hesitation, she bowed her head and took a bite, “Thanks.”
Perhaps this is the brother-sister bond, no matter how much can not forgive, but after experiencing so many things, or involuntarily put aside the past grudges and grievances.
Harlee was prepared for Adriana’s rejection, but expected her to eat it.
At that moment, for some reason, a sourness suddenly welled up in the bottom of the heart, sourness with a little joy and excitement.
“Is it good?” He asked.
Adriana’s eyes flickered slightly as she stared at the document, then continued to look at it and said in a cold voice, “Average.”
“Then it’s not good. Then, I’ll buy you something better later.” Harlee threw that one snack directly into the trash.
“By the way, do you want to go back to the Soto family home for the evening? Grandpa wants you to come back for dinner.”
“No go.”
Adriana refused directly, but then realized that the refusal was too decisive. Immediately added a sentence, “There are still a lot of things that need to be taken care of right now, so I don’t have time for now.”
“How about …”
Knowing that Adriana didn’t want to go back to the Soto family compound, Harlee said, “Why don’t you let Grandpa come out and we’ll eat together?”
By saying this, he was doing his best to look out for Adriana.
Adriana is tempted to say no, but Harlee’s attitude leaves her no way to say no.
“OK, let’s talk after we’re done.”
“Okay then, you’re busy, I’ll wait for you.”
Harlee stopped bothering Adriana and stepped aside, holding her phone and playing with it, looking at Adriana every now and then.
