Peter didn’t expect Old Mr. Soto to show up at the Fryer Group’s president’s office at this time.
“Humph. Since she is your woman, she should be properly disciplined and not come out to make a fool of herself, my Quintin’s granddaughter is not someone who can be messed with.”
Old Mr. Soto slapped the table, furious.
“Yes yes yes, Grandpa Soto, I was wrong, I’m sorry.”
Theresa’s seconds.
I thought Adriana was not well received by the Soto family, but now I realize that the Soto family is so fond of Adriana that she is a little jealous and envious.
“Peter, let’s go.”
She pulled Peter and left in a very sorry state.
The moment he brushed past Adriana, Peter could not help but fall on Adriana’s body.
The two eyes met unexpectedly, each with complex eyes, each with a thought.
It was not until the two left the office that Raylan smiled and said, “Old Mr. Soto is wise, Adri, and I am so happy to have Old Mr. Soto spoiling you so much.”
He is a very pleasant person with an easy-going and kind personality.
Old Mr. Soto stood in front of Raylan with his arms folded, his cloudy eyes looking her up and down, “I hear you’ve been courting my granddaughter?”
A mouthful of ‘granddaughter’, called very affectionate.
Adriana has not accepted the Soto family until now, but she was really touched by what Old Mr. Soto and Harlee did today.
Women are sensual creatures.
Some small, insignificant gestures can also melt a person’s cold heart.
“Huh.”
Raylan awkwardly smiled, raised his hand and scratched his head, “I like Adri is not false, but the feelings of things can not be forced, everything must also listen to her wishes.”
“Oh, yeah?”
Old Mr. Soto reached up and ran his hands through his hair, sighed and looked at Adriana, “Girl, what do you think about this?”
Ask her?
“I … don’t have any ideas right now.”
Adriana shook her head like a rattle.
All the things stirred together, so that she feels exhausted every day, now there is really no intention and idea of a relationship.
“Are you simply unable to let go of Peter?”
Harlee was very direct in nailing the thoughts in Adriana’s mind.
“Is that so?”
Old Mr. Soto played with the walnut in his palm, turned it around, frowned and thought about it, and said, “My Quintin’s granddaughter, I can agree to be with anyone, but not him, Peter. Not to mention the feud with The Alston family, just the way he is a womanizer is not appealing to me.
Shaking his head, he added, “Not worthy!”
Between the lines, it’s very much like Adriana.
“I … just want to take care of the company right now.”
“Nonsense!”
Old Mr. Soto intended to her words, reached out and poked her head, “You are not young, wait any longer is the old woman left. I look at Raylan this boy although unruly, but for you is sincere, you may try?”
One sentence defines the relationship between Adriana and Raylan.
“No! Raylan has a fiancée!”
Others don’t know about Raylan, but Adriana knows in her heart.
Knowing that Raylan and Lynn are engaged to be married.
If not, Lynn would not have entered Raylan’s room in the middle of the night to carry out the assassination at her home.
Thinking about it, Adriana only felt shivers.
The consequences of that day would have been unthinkable if Peter had not stepped in.
“No.”
Raylan denied it, “She and I are no longer married, Lynn is abroad now, and their parents are planning to move abroad in a while. Our marriage was cancelled a long time ago.”
“Lynn? That’s Floedan’s the Kramer family?”
Old Mr. Soto had also heard about the Kramer family.
“Yes.”
“If you cancel your marriage with the Kramer family, then I will allow you to talk to Adri girl and live in a place. After all, they are young people, and you can’t force your feelings, but you can cultivate them. If it really does not work, then you are separating at that time, there is no harm.”
Old Mr. Soto is very open to emotional matters, which is not expected by Adriana.
When Old Mr. Soto asked her to return to the Soto family, she thought there would be a business alliance, but now she actually thinks Raylan is good enough to let them get along?
The Powells are strong and Raylan is interested in her. If she and Raylan can get together, it will be like a tiger adding wings to the Soto family and taking it to the next level.
Playing a good hand.
“Adri, Raylan is nice to you. I’ve heard that Alvin is interested in you too. But he’s with that unattractive internet girl who’s not good enough for you.”
Harlee, who hadn’t said anything, spoke up.
He didn’t think Adriana and Alvin were a good match.
As for why it is not appropriate, no one has revealed.
But Adriana also understands that Alvin and Peter are extremely close, and if she is urged to be with Alvin, it is undoubtedly pushing her towards Peter’s side.
Naturally, the Soto family would not agree.
Adriana knew there would be no stopping the reckoning when she returned to the Soto family, she just didn’t expect it to come so quickly.
But …
She still prefers Raylan to Alvin.
Appreciation, to be precise.
Very much appreciated and the two hit it off.
After years of getting along and honing their skills, the two have a good tacit understanding value.
“Okay, it’s settled. You and Raylan two good benefits for a while, if still can not, the old man I will not force you.”
Old Mr. Soto waved a hand toward Harlee, “All right, follow me downstairs.” The two of them walked towards the office, and when they reached the door, he turned back to Adriana and said, “The company is fine today, so you can go home early. You can go see a movie with Raylan and go shopping. Girls, we must have a girl’s appearance.”
He walked away and Harlee pursed her lips at Adriana and raised an eyebrow with an affectionate smile.
Closing the office door, the two men’s voices faded away.
Adriana took a deep breath and shook her head helplessly, “Do you think Old Mr. Soto’s mind is not pure?”
She walked over to the couch and sat down, resting on the couch leaning back and looking up at the ceiling with her eyes, “This is whyI don’t want to go back to THE Soto family. Step by step, conspiracy by conspiracy.”
“That makes sense.”
Raylan is a little distressed by Adriana.
He knows Adriana’s previous encounters, understands her childhood hardships, moreover understands her desire for affection, Naive really looked for affection, but the result is today.
“What are you going to do?”
Raylan walked across to Adriana and sat down, elbows propped on the arm of the sofa, resting his chin, “I do think you can take advantage of the situation. It’s just a game, you’ve played it a lot. Haven’t you.”
His words are quite meaningful and have some truth to them.
“So, you really plan to actually …?”
Adriana pointed to herself and then to Raylan, and the meaning was unmistakable.
“What, think I’m not good enough for you or what? If Old Mr. Soto forces you to go on a blind date with another man, the outcome is not yet known.”
