Adriana pointed to the bouquet of roses and said to him, “How about you send me flowers and I’ll buy you dinner?”
“Allowed.”
“Heh heh, okay. You’ll have to wait for me, I still have a few important documents in my hand that I haven’t dealt with.”
“Good.”
Raylan responded and sat aside without speaking.
Adriana was fully engaged in her work, looking at the document, intending to finish it before speaking.
However, life does not allow Adriana to have peace.
She had just finished the paperwork in her hand and hadn’t had time to close it when someone rushed into the office.
Pushed the door open with a bang, hitting it with a clang.
Adriana looked up and saw Theresa standing aggressively in front of her with her mask on and Peter, with the attitude that she would like to eat her alive.
“What brings you here?”
When she saw Theresa, Adriana’s face was sullen and a little cold.
Theresa walked in and looked at Adriana, and then at the bouquet of flowers on her desk, before realizing that there was still Raylan there.
“Adriana, are you ashamed? You’re already with Peter, why are you still hooking up with Mr. Powell?” What, do you like to have your feet in two different boats?
Adriana looked at the secretary who was standing in the doorway somewhat helplessly and waved her hand, signaling her to go down.
Then he said to Raylan, “Go down and wait for me.”
“You, all right?”
His unfriendly gaze was fixed on Theresa with a few moments of coldness and warning.
“You go down first.”
Adriana said again.
Raylan then got up and walked out.
Since the little woman has spoken, he naturally believes in it.
Adriana walked to the office door and closed it, turned back, looked at Theresa with cold eyes and said, “What did you come to see me about today, because of Peter again?”
She was helpless and explained, “You can’t force yourself in matters of emotions, Theresa, you should learn to let go. I don’t want you to still be immersed in your own world, do you understand?”
From what happened to Peter, she looked away from a lot of things.
Faced with the man she loved, hearing the sad news of his imminent death, Adriana wanted to cherish nothing but it.
More than that, I think Theresa is a poor person who knows nothing about Peter’s situation.
If Peter dies, I’m afraid Theresa will be the one to grieve the most.
“Adriana, don’t act like a saintly woman, okay, it’s disgusting. Adriana, from today onwards, we are at loggerheads, and from now on, as long as I am Theresa, you will not have peace.”
Leaving the words behind, she turned around and left.
Adriana was a little confused, still thinking about what Theresa really meant, but then the secretary came in, “Ms. Hale, it’s not good, there are a lot of reporters downstairs, saying they want to interview you.”
“Journalist?”
Adriana thought about it and wasn’t surprised.
When Theresa broke off her engagement with Peter because of her, it was a big deal then and it is still a big deal now.
Those reporters do not know where they heard the wind, I guess this time because of this matter again, want to come to interview.
“Also, a few troublemakers came to the company’s door, saying that the company launched a beauty product with quality problems, after using a red rash, swollen face. Now is receiving a direct interview with the reporter.”
Rene told Adriana the truth about what was going on outside.
Adriana had a bit of a headache, thinking how things could be so coincidental, and it looked like Theresa’s handiwork.
But no matter what, now that it has happened, she has to face it.
Running away is not the only way to solve things.
“Come down with me and take a look.”
Adriana and Rene both walked out of the office, took the elevator and went straight to the lobby.
The security guards outside the hall were trying hard to block the troublemakers, but there were so many reporters that they were really somewhat powerless.
“Look guys, Ms. Hale is here.”
“Ms. Hale, may I ask if there is a problem with your company’s beauty products, is there anything you need to explain about this matter?”
“Miss Theresa broke off her engagement with Mr. Alston, is this matter still because of you?”
“What do you think about Theresa and Mr. Alston calling off their engagement, and do you still plan to stay with Mr. Alston?”
…
Adriana didn’t care to listen to the reporters’ long list of questions.
It was the troublemakers who pointed at Adriana and cursed her head.
“Black-hearted boss, treacherous businessman, your beauty care products are really going to kill people.”
“Look at my face, it’s in this state now, what the hell are you going to give?”
“If we can’t settle this matter today, I’m not finished with you.”
“You’ll do anything to make money, I’ll sue you!”
…
Listening to the men, Adriana stayed calm.
Walking to the door, the security guard blocked her way and she waved her hand, signaling for silence.
“Listen to me, will you?”
She raised her voice and said loudly, “I have deep sympathy for what you are experiencing now. You said you used our company’s cosmetics, please provide us with the purchase list and samples, and we will send them to the appraisal department for identification. If it is our company’s problem, we will do our best to be responsible for you.”
Adriana watched as several women’s faces were covered in a red rash and swollen and frightening, and things really weren’t looking too good.
“FUCK, for the sake of earning money treacherous merchants, words are so nice. We have been buying for so long, where did we get the list?”
“It is your company’s product that has gone wrong, and you must give an explanation.”
“Or we’ll stay here today.”
…
Speaking, speaking, those few people directly sitting on their knees, sitting in the doorway of the company hall, blocking the way.
That way, it seemed like they would block a whole company if Adriana didn’t give a reasonable account today.
“Ms. Hale, is there really a problem with your company’s product?”
“What do you think about this matter?”
“I’ve heard there are several other patients who have been hospitalized in serious condition.”
…
Faced with the reporters’ tricky questions and those who spilled the beans, Adriana was not too nervous, but calmly said to the media reporters: “Our company is doing the right thing, now we will call the police to deal with it, while looking for identification department to do identification, and will now suspend the sale of this beauty and skin care products. Must give everyone a reasonable explanation.”
“Rene, call the police!”
She barked a command to Rene.
As a result, her approach drew the displeasure of several people, who took the cosmetics in their hands and threw them towards Adriana.
“Bah, you are all colluding with the government and business, what reasonable explanation, but just taking money to make things perfunctory.”
“I’m not going to believe you guys!”
“Beat you to death, I’ll beat you traitors to death.”
…
With that, the few emotional people jumped up, pointed at Adriana, and cursed.
A few cosmetic bottles were thrown, and Adriana easily passed them, but Rene was a defenseless girl, so how could she easily avoid them?
On the spot, he was hit on the head by a bottle of hydrating water, his head bled out and he fainted.
