Adriana continued to devote herself to her work and was busy with client appointments in the morning and afternoon.
The good thing is that Harlee takes into account that she is busy, so he personally handles all the project negotiations on business trips.
When she returned to the office in the afternoon, she took a short nap.
That’s when the assistant came in and said Jenkins was coming over.
Adriana sighed, genuinely feeling that she was too busy and would love to take a break for a while.
“Let him in.”
She took a sip of her coffee, and just as the cup was set down Jenkins came in.
Still in a suit and tie, carrying a briefcase, wearing a pair of glasses, a civilized look.
But compared to a few years ago a few more calm, and not as introverted as that year.
“Brother.”
She called out, “Why are you free to come over today?”
Saying that, he instructed Rene, who was standing by, “Go pour a cup of coffee and bring it over.”
“Yes, Ms. Hale.”
Rene walks out of the office and closes the door.
Jenkins raised his hand and touched his tie and said, “I took a business lawsuit a while ago and went out of town to do an investigation, and I came back to know that you were beaten up. How’s it going? Is everything okay?”
He put down his briefcase and walked over to Adriana, “The Alston family are such assholes, they even bully a woman.”
An angry look of a brother’s heart for his sister, looking at Adriana’s heart warm.
Adriana shook her head, “It’s okay, I’m not hurt.”
She looked at Jenkins with a raised eyebrow, “Not bad, now more and more barrister model, back to ask you to be our company’s special legal counsel. How’s that?”
Now that she manages the Fryer Group, she still has the right to choose which law firm to work with.
It’s a way to support her brother’s work.
“My business is not important, I just came to see you, by the way … by the way …”
Jenkins wanted to say something but couldn’t.
Adriana had a smile on her lips, “By the way, what about Flora?”
How could she not know what Jenkins was doing here today?
According to Flora’s character, it is impossible not to tell him.
All expected and nothing more.
“Adri, I know there are things I shouldn’t interfere with, it’s just that … I don’t understand why you keep making things difficult for Flora? Those things with his brother, they have nothing to do with her.”
Jenkins had heard something about Vivian, but felt that the two were not comparable in the matter of Edward and Flora.
“Sit.”
Adriana gestured to the couch, looking calm and without much ups and downs.
Jenkins looked at Adriana and walked over to the couch and sat right there, quietly waiting for her to give an answer.
The office door opens and the secretary brings in a cup of coffee. Adriana walks over and takes the coffee and turns to Jenkins.
” Thank you.”
He said politely.
“After we came back this time, it seems like it’s been a long time since we sat down to have a meal together, or else, together in the evening?”
If we say that apart from Luis and Helen, Jenkins is probably the only person in the world who can make Adriana feel close to her.
“Of course it’s no problem, I’m just worried that you don’t have time.”
Jenkins spread his hands, “You are so day to day, several times I wanted to invite you to dinner, afraid that you do not have time.”
“Then wait for me for a moment while I take care of the task at hand.”
“Hmm.”
With permission, Adriana went to her desk and continued working.
There were few tasks at hand, and the work was taken care of before I could go out to dinner with Jenkins without worrying.
However, many things seem to go against the grain.
She hadn’t been busy for long when her office door was pushed open and a man came in, walked up to her and knocked on her desk, “What are you working on?”
“Hmm?”
Adriana put down the contract in her hand and looked up to see that it was Harlee?
“What brings you here.”
She subconsciously glanced at Jenkins sitting on the sofa and found that he looked slightly embarrassed.
Harlee didn’t notice when she came in earlier, and only now did she notice Jenkins coming over.
Smiling, he walked over, “Mr. Hale, why do you have time to come over today?”
“I came by to see Adri when I had nothing to do.”
“Really? Then why don’t we have a casual dinner together tonight?”
Harlee initiated the invitation.
“No, I have something to say to my brother.”
Adriana didn’t wait for Jenkins to speak before replying directly.
The brother she is talking about is no other than Jenkins.
As of now, although the relationship with Harlee has slightly eased, she still won’t call him brother.
Harlee’s handsome face stiffened slightly, but it was a few seconds of loss, then said, “I’m your brother too, what’s the matter that I can’t know?”
“Mr. Gu is joking, I just haven’t seen Adri for a long time and wanted to catch up with her.”
Although Jenkins rarely comes to Adriana, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t pay attention to Adriana’s affairs.
As his own sister, although not his own, but his life was given by Adriana, naturally to her heart to the bone.
Noticing the delicate relationship between Harlee and Adriana, she immediately came forward to ease the relationship.
Adriana looks uncomfortable. What goodwill Adriana had left for him has been gone since Harlee threatened to take her back to the Soto family.
“What’s the matter with you coming over here?”
She asked in a hard tone.
Slowly sitting in the executive chair, continued to flip through the documents in his hands, but this time it was a bit to look at the heart.
Adriana knows Harlee too well, nothing is too important, so she must have something to discuss today.
“It’s nothing. It’s Luis and Helen’s weekend, so I thought I’d take the kids to my place to have some fun and not disturb you at work. Besides, you’re so busy and they’re bored when you don’t have anyone to spend time with them.”
Harlee walks toward Adriana, talking as she goes.
The words ‘kind and understanding’ sounded good, but Adriana couldn’t be happy.
“No need, I’ll make time for them tomorrow.”
The Soto family people have been threatening her to go back to the Soto family and now they are putting their ideas on the two children, which is really upsetting Adriana.
Even the pair of shearwater eyes are swirling with suppressed anger, burning in the tentative.
Harlee is so smart, how could she not notice that her face is not right, immediately said: “I am the children’s uncle, I was not able to spend time with them before, now just want to make up for it. You are so busy every day, who else can I look for if not the two children?”
A gangly smile, the eyebrows flowing out is the doting on Adriana.
He really likes Adriana and loves this sister.
But they are separated by Old Mr. Soto, which makes all the relationship so hard.
Adriana closes the folder and drops the file on the desktop with a snap.
With his hands propped up on the table, he slowly rose, leaning forward, his cold eyes gazing at the man standing across from him, “I repeat, stay away from Luis and Helen.”
The Soto family started to fight for the children just after they got the custody of the two children.
Adriana really feels that life is ironic and plays tricks on her all the time.
“Fine, fine, since you do not agree to forget it, then …”
