“Yeah.”
Adriana put her bag on Raylan’s desk and didn’t bother to walk over to the couch to sit down, so she leaned directly against the desk, her arms around her chest, and said coldly, “If Raylan and I don’t work out, won’t that affect you a lot? In case your fiancé changes his mind, don’t cry in front of me again when the time comes.”
There are times when Adriana really does not want to talk to Theresa superfluous nonsense, if it is not here today met Theresa, most do not want to be in contact.
I just didn’t expect that after years of not seeing her, Theresa’s mouth is actually so indebted now.
“You … hum, do not deceive yourself and others. Peter and I will soon be married, so you should not covet. Some things, then one cannot be two.”
The small face that was just swirling with laughter has now become hideous and embarrassing, as if a wolf in sheep’s clothing had been unmasked to reveal its true face.
It’s appalling.
“Huh.”
Adriana laughs and doesn’t say anything.
Turned around and walked out.
In the hallway, Raylan was on the phone with his father, who was standing over there and could be heard growling from a long distance away.
Adriana was a little sorry that it seemed she hadn’t met Raylan’s father in all the time she had known him.
And I don’t know what his father is.
However, Adriana always felt that Old Mr. Soto should have had contact with Raylan’s father, otherwise she wouldn’t have gone to all the trouble of urging her to be with Raylan.
She leaned on the railing and looked out the window, taking in the view of Waverly.
The sky, extraordinarily blue, the sun, extraordinarily warm.
A kind of ‘years of quiet’ sense of both.
Nay, life is full of sadness.
In the middle of the day, Raylan finished the phone call on his side and came towards Adriana.
“Is everything okay?”
Adriana is concerned.
Raylan put away his phone, his long fingers unbuttoned his suit, lifted the hem, crossed his arms, and stood by her side, not saying anything for a long time.
He did not say anything, indicating that the situation is not very optimistic, Adriana had to comfort: “You do not have to care too much about business matters. Besides, it doesn’t matter if Fryer Group can work with you, Oblurg Group. As you know, I don’t plan to stay in Waverly for a long time.”
Already ready to leave, just now the time does not allow.
“Adri, I’m afraid things are tricky this time.”
He let out a sigh.
The preoccupied look is worrying Adriana to follow, “What in the end … is wrong?”
Having never seen Raylan look like this before, Adriana now looked at him and began to mutter in her heart.
“Atror is coming.”
“Atror who?”
Adriana doesn’t know much about the Atror side.
Only know that Atror side of the four families have huge power, too little will be involved in the Waverly side of things.
This time Atror came, I’m afraid things are not so simple.
“The Atror people are … working with you?”
If Atror’s people came to work with the Powells, the Powells would not have any reason to refuse.
“Not just with me. There’s also … Brenden.”
He took out the cigarette case from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, lit it, held it in his lips, took a drag, and half the time, his lips exhaled a faint cigarette.
“I’m afraid this time, Waverly will not be calm. Many things you do not know, but in any case, this time will not have any effect on you, but I am afraid that it is not so simple for The Alston family ….”
“The Alston family?”
Adriana really does not know these things.
Since returning to Waverly and having her true identity revealed, all she cares about is her children and herself.
As for other things, simply do not care.
Now suddenly talking about The Alston family, Adriana remembers seeing Jimmy at the hospital yesterday.
Peter’s brother.
He came back at this stall, could it be … that there is some big change?
“If you say so, then the person to worry about should be Peter. what moves will he … make?”
Invariably, she exposed her small mind.
At the critical moment, Adriana is still worried about Peter.
At the word, Raylan slightly side-eyed, deep eyes looked at her, and then withdrew his gaze, two fingers holding the cigarette, and took another puff.
Faintly, he said, “I don’t know.”
There was a silence, and the two did not speak again.
Atror’s people will take a while to arrive, so you’d better meet them together and be prepared.”
Adriana pondered from side to side for a moment and jawed slightly, “Good.”
It’s better to meet when it’s time to meet.
Back in the office, several people chatted about company matters, and no one talked about each other’s personal matters.
After waiting for half an hour, Raylan’s cell phone rang.
“What is it?”
“Mr. Powell, the Griffin family is here.”
The secretary was the first to inform, and then said, “Old Mr. Powell means for you to go down to meet and greet.”
“I … well, got it.”
Raylan put away his phone, not without a little exasperation.
He’s always had his own way with things at work and doesn’t care to grovel to anyone, and now Atror’s the Griffin family is coming over and he needs to go downstairs to get them himself.
The heart is more or less upset.
“What’s wrong?”
Adriana asked.
“The Griffin family is here and asked me to pick it up this afternoon.”
“I’ll go with you.”
“Good.”
So, the two got up together and headed outside.
Seeing the two of them so close, Theresa felt good though, but from the bottom of her heart she felt that Adriana’s life was really too good.
“Look at Adri and Mr. Powell, they are really a match made in heaven, and they are getting along well.”
Theresa sat across from Brenden and made small talk with him.
“Perhaps, that’s the beauty of Adriana.”
I have to say that Brenden also thought Adriana was good back then.
Naive, she is Peter’s woman.
A smiling glance at Theresa, a few invisible shake of the head.
Foolishness!
And the two people who walked to the elevator entrance over there got into the elevator and went straight downstairs and stood in the lobby and saw a row of luxury cars parked outside.
Adriana couldn’t help but feel, “Quite a big row.”
“the Griffin family in Atror ranked the second, is considered a family below the ten thousand above the big man, in the mall, everyone respect.”
This may be the reason why old Mr. Powell should let him out to meet.
“So why did you choose to work with you the Powells?”
Adriana felt that the Griffin family must have an important need for the Powells, otherwise they would not have come to Waverly to seek cooperation.
Even if it is cooperation, that should be the old Mr. Powell personally to Atror only.
“I don’t know, the old thing didn’t say.”
“The old thing?”
“My dad.”
“Oh, that’s a charming way to address … someone.”
Adriana couldn’t resist flirting with it.
Speaking of the work, the two have walked outside the hall, looking at a row of Rolls-Royce lined up, a group of bodyguards side by side, a clean suit, sunglasses, white gloves, imposing.
And that a gold Rolls-Royce door opened and the first to land was a … high heel?
In a whirlwind, one person came out with his head down and stood in front of the crowd.
The person was wearing a tight white dress, long wavy hair draped over the shoulders and hanging, wearing silver-gray sunglasses, covering half of the face, only to reveal flaming red lips.
