“Leave?”
Harlee felt that she hadn’t listened carefully enough to what Adriana had said before.
“Adri, you listen to me. You can’t leave in this situation.”
“You’ve said that too many times, I’ve heard enough. harlee, you claim to be my brother, so what have you ever done for me?”
Adriana lazily opened her eyes, swirling with watery waves of smoke to meet his pupils, questioning.
“I know … there’s a lot I’m not doing well enough. But time will tell and now it’s just a matter of opportunity.”
His words came out without any sense of trust from Adriana.
So just close your eyes and whatever Harlee is saying, she doesn’t want to hear it.
“Adri, if you believe me, listen to me and choose to bewith Raylan now. It’s only the best choice if you get married.”
“I really do it for your own good. Because … actually, in front of you I’m shiny and everyone thinks I can do anything, but in THE Soto family. seriously, I don’t have a lot of real power. Most of the time, it’s whatever Grandpa says and I do.”
“Adri, everyone has a time when they have to, and I’m at that stage with you right now. Do you understand?”
Harlee said it very subtly, but also very clearly in telling Adriana.
They are now not in their own hands, all the time do things must think twice, if not, that is the most serious.
These words fell on Adriana’s ears and she remembered them.
“Then you’d better take care of yourself. I’ll take care of my own business.”
Adriana pointed to the door, “You go ahead, I have a lot of preliminaries to deal with.”
All she wants to do now is finish the work at hand and …
I really want to see Peter in the hospital.
It’s just a pity that now in this situation, Adriana couldn’t find a reason and didn’t know how to face Peter.
“You must remember what I said. Adri, just know one thing, I will do everything I can to give you everything you want when it is necessary. Because, I am your brother.”
After saying that, he got up and left.
That kind of cryptic phrase, said no end, which is what makes Adriana’s heart guilty of muttering.
But Adriana didn’t have the heart to think about that.
Continue to devote yourself to your work.
When he was busy, he suddenly closed the file again.
Every word of Harlee’s words has a hidden meaning, and it would be impossible not to listen.
So Harlee is now under the control of Old Mr. Soto?
Nevertheless, Adriana couldn’t understand why Harlee said that.
In any case, Old Mr. Soto is Harlee’s own grandfather, even if Old Mr. Soto is not fully delegated to Harlee now, sooner or later in the Soto family Harlee is going to take the lead.
So what does he mean by that now?
Her brow knitted, she got up, went to the window, looked out, and fell into deep thought.
Not long after, she took her cell phone and called Raylan.
The other side answered quickly.
“Where are you now, I was just about to call you.”
“Do you have time tonight to have dinner together.”
“Of course it’s no problem.”
The other party readily accepts.
Adriana hangs up the phone and returns to her desk to get back to work.
In the evening, the two children were taken to the hospital by Peter’s brother.
Giovanny and Aaren were also with the children at all times, so Adriana was still at ease.
She and Raylan both agreed to meet at a restaurant.
“You’re here, if you don’t come, the food will get cold.”
Raylan flirted as he sipped his wine and watched her.
Adriana looked at the table of dishes, still considered light, but think he is not a thoughtless man.
If it wasn’t for that whole thing with Peter, maybe she would have really chosen to bewith Raylan.
The two sat together and Adriana was a little hungry.
After all, I didn’t even eat at lunch.
“Let’s eat first.”
Adriana put down her bag and ate her meal.
“Mm-hmm, this shrimp and crab congee is still good, it tastes pretty good.”
“That’s for sure, I called with the restaurant owner this afternoon and they prepared it carefully and stayed up for hours.”
“Really, that’s thanks to you. Without you, I probably wouldn’t have this mouthful.”
The two men looked at each other and smiled.
Adriana ate as hard as she could until she felt her stomach was comfortable and full, and then she stopped.
She put down her chopsticks and Raylan put them down as well, looked at her, and asked, “Are you full?”
“Hmm.”
Adriana jowls slightly, takes a sip of her plain water.
Eyelids slightly raised, she gazed at the man across the table with a look of rare seriousness.
It gives Raylan a sense of oppression.
“Don’t look at me like that, it’s pretty scary.”
“Lend me a few people.”
“People? What people?”
“You have your own intelligence network, what would you not know? Of course I want to borrow a few people from you to gather some intelligence.”
“That’s it?”
“Hmm.”
He breathed a long sigh of relief, “That scared the hell out of me. Suddenly so serious, I thought something big was going to happen.”
Having said that, Raylan felt that there was still something wrong with this.
Leaning forward slightly, she leaned closer to Adriana and asked, “So far you haven’t said what you’re borrowing people for?”
“I want to investigate the Soto family. i always feel that the Soto family is suspicious. But I have limited ability and not so much time to do anything at all.”
For Raylan, she still trusts.
Besides, if she doesn’t tell the truth to Raylan, the few people she borrowed will tell Raylan the truth.
Since this is the case, what is the need for her to hide.
“You’re becoming a human being now.”
“What nonsense.”
Adriana took another sip from her cup and inclined her head to look out the window, “Look out here, bustling with people, each one in such a hurry. They have a simple life, but it’s what I want most.”
“If anything, I will give you whatever you want. Will you give me a chance?”
Raylan has not given up the quest.
He had been restraining his thoughts about Adriana, but now he just wanted to make it clear to Adriana.
Not for any other reason, but because of the thing that Alani said to him.
If Alani really did that, it would be unfair to Adriana, and the matter is very unfair to Peter, too.
He, still hesitating.
Adriana didn’t move a muscle, her gaze still fixed on the window.
“By the way, is Tiana a little bit interested in you? I think she’s not bad, maybe she can handle you.”
Adriana asked instead of answering.
Raylan’s question was avoided.
Raylan a hundred times helpless, he said countless times, but the little woman has not given him the opportunity to really make people headache.
“Then you may not know Tiana. she is a flirtatious and amorous woman. A woman’s appearance, a man’s heart. Do you think she’s any good?”
Raylan snickered.
Although he gives people a sense of unrestrained vestigial, but the bones are still righteous and quite a gentleman.
It is natural not to accept a woman as absurd as Tiana.
“I’m curious about one thing. You have your own intelligence network, don’t you know what Tiana is doing in Waverly this time?”
