“Who I talk to on the phone has nothing to do with you. harlee, you just need to mind your own business.”
She snapped her phone on the table, took a file from the high pile of documents, flipped it open, and started reading it with full concentration.
“Is it Raylan?”
Not waiting for the desired answer, Harlee is still a bit reluctant look.
Came up to him and asked.
Adriana’s brain hurt from being annoyed by him, “Harlee, are you very idle? Help me with all the paperwork if you have nothing to do.”
It’s really too angry.
How can a person that old be so interested in gossip like a child?
Sensing that Adriana was really angry, Harlee’s face immediately piled up with a flattering and pleasing smile, “Adri? Sister, can you not be angry? Look at your recent face is not very good, brother to buy you milk tea, dessert. I heard that when a girl is in a bad mood, some milk tea and dessert will be in a good mood.”
“I don’t need …”
Adriana immediately refused, but before she could say a word, Harlee had already walked out of the office.
Only the clanging of the door gave her a response.
Proof that Harlee has left.
Adriana snapped the file shut and brushed her forehead, furious with him.
Buzz–
The phone vibrated again.
The same goes for Peter’s What’s App.
Open the phone What’s App, the other party sent a picture with a cute little girl pencil emoji.
The bad mood was gone in this moment.
Immediately took the phone and edited a text message to Peter: [I’ll send you a message after work, get some rest].
[Good.]
Waiting for Peter’s reply, Adriana Fang put down the phone.
But the phone just put down not much longer, it rang again.
She thought it was still a message from Peter, but after a quick glance she realized it was a message from Eliza.
Eliza?
What exactly does it mean to send her a message all of a sudden when there has been almost no contact since the last separation from Motril?
Adriana was a bit puzzled.
Tap on the message, it’s a voice from Eliza.
“Adriana, where are you, I’m planning to go to Waverly recently, can I dilly-dally at your place?”
To go to Waverly and come to join her?
Thinking about the relationship between Harlee and Eliza that time, it makes sense that Eliza would shun Harlee, so why would she come to Waverly at this time?
Adriana hesitated for a long time and finally sent a message back.
[Yes, no problem].
Recently a period of time is estimated to go to the lake villa in the evening, the house is empty, Eliza want to live, it does not matter.
The text message had just been sent and a reply was received from Eliza, the other party just replied with a ‘yes’ and let there be no response after that.
Adriana doesn’t understand exactly why Eliza is coming over, and all can only be known when Eliza arrives.
She then went to work, and after a short while, Harlee returned with milk tea and cake.
Placing everything in front of her, “Here, see what you like to eat?”
I have to say, Harlee was really nice to her.
To make her happy, a bunch of things were bought, enough to fill her desk.
Adriana was made to lose her temper by Harlee and slapped the table, “Big brother, do you know that …”
I’m working!
Before the four words could be uttered, they were interrupted by Harlee.
He looked at Adriana with a surprised and unexpected face, “What did you just say? You called me big brother?”
Adriana: “…”
That’s just a moment of emotion, okay, when really called big brother, that’s what!
“Did I … say that you misheard.”
Adriana really can’t do anything about Harlee.
“Called, you just shouted a big brother. adri, you are accepting me? Finally accept me as a big brother?”
He was happy like a child, standing by Adriana’s side, pulling her and hugging her directly, “Adriana, my brother is sorry for so many years, I know it’s my bad, but you must believe me, I will protect you in the future and not let anyone bully you.”
Because of a misunderstanding, Harlee became overly emotional.
Adriana didn’t expect him to react that much either.
“All right, all right, in the office, what do you look like pulling and tugging?”
Pushing Harlee away, Adriana looked at him with a rare seriousness and said, “Harlee, if you really treat me as your sister, then the only thing I ask of you is that you take care of Luis and Helen for me. no matter when and where, don’t let them get hurt, that’s the best you can do for me as a brother ‘take care’!”
What the situation is like now is unclear, but Adriana is very guarded against Old Mr. Soto.
Always feel that this old man is not trustworthy.
On all sides, Adriana just wants to protect her two children, and Peter.
Even if Peter has only a short time of less than a month, she will have to guard that man well.
“Why?”
Harlee doesn’t understand what Adriana means.
“It’s nothing, just remember the words.”
Adriana waved her hand, “Thank you for the milk tea and pastries, I enjoyed them. So, you can go now.”
She knew that if she didn’t accept them, she figured Harlee would be in the mood to mess around with her for another while.
“Yes, yes, yes, of course it’s no problem. But you have to take good care of yourself too oh.”
Harlee seems to be in a very good mood, speaking before all for the … has a sappy tone.
Adriana: “…”
Can you get away and clear my ears a little.
Harlee rolled, nimbly.
The office finally quieted down.
But Adriana looked at a desk full of desserts and had a headache, and immediately made the internal call, “Rene, come in here.”
After saying that, not much later, Secretary General Rene walked in.
She leaned on the executive chair and looked at the documents, without raising her head, she pointed to those milk tea and pastries on the table, “Take it over, you guys share it. It’s for your afternoon tea.”
As a girl, there are few people who do not like milk tea and pastries, and Rene naturally does. “Thank you Ms. Hale.”
She walked out with a pile of stuff.
In the afternoon, without Harlee’s pestering, Adriana finally settled down.
After reading a lot of documents, it was already 7:00 p. m. when I was done.
She immediately stood up and took her cell phone to call Peter.
The phone rang for a while ringing and the man answered.
“Honey, where are you?”
“Downstairs in your office.”
“Er … that, sorry, I was too involved in work just now to forget. You wait for me, I’ll go down now.”
“Silly girl, there’s no rush. I’ll wait for you.”
“Okay, I’m on my way.”
After hanging up the phone, Adriana simply packed up and walked out of the office with her bag.
As a result, just as I walked out of the office, I saw Harlee coming out of the elevator.
Adriana suddenly lifted her eyes to the ceiling with a feeling of life and death.
