With that, hestarted the sedan and headed towards Fryer Group.
Arriving at the company, there were still journalists gathered at the entrance, mobbing the company.
“It looks like it’s not easy for you to get in.”
“It’s okay, there’s a small door at the back of the office, I’ll go in through there.”
“That becomes, you take care.”
Raylan was a little uneasy.
Adriana got out of the car, “Let’s go.” Closing the car door and carrying her bag, she walked in through a small door on the side of the office and took the elevator straight back to the office.
In the office, Harlee was on the phone, seemingly communicating with someone about the company’s cosmetics, looking a bit anxious.
Without speaking, she hung her bag on the hanger and walked to the water fountain to pour a glass of water.
It was a while before Harlee finished her call and Adriana asked, “How did it go, what about the troublemakers?”
“What else can be done? Of course, it should be sent to the hospital for examination, and the police station for accountability.”
Harlee crossed her arms and paced around the office, “It’s obvious that someone is operating under the radar, and now there are negative rumors out there, and several beauty companies are suspending their cooperation.”
“I can understand that. By the way, have the samples of cosmetics been sent for inspection?”
“It’s been sent.”
“Then wait for the results at ease, by the way, let the public relations company to deal with it, do not make a mess on Twitter Trend, looking for people to control the comments, to do the place should be nothing.”
Adriana was a lawyer back in the day and has more or less experience in this area.
Harlee walked across to her and sat down, “The old man may have to come over later to ask for you, so you better be prepared.”
“Looking for me for a crime? I’m just in time to have a good talk with him.”
It was too much to publish the fake news between her and Raylan without her permission.
“You … you …”
He pointed at her and tried to say something, but swallowed his words several times.
Look at Adriana a little anxious, “If you don’t want to say, don’t say. If you want to say it, just say it, don’t stammer, okay?”
Watching makes people anxious.
“I just want to tell you not to confront grandpa easily, you are not his opponent. adri, I am your brother, listen to your brother for a second, okay?”
Harlee followed anxiously on fire, afraid that Adriana and the old man called the board, when the loss of suffering will also be Adriana.
“Then I’d like to ask you, what is your relationship with Eliza?”
Not wanting her to trust him for once, Adriana deliberately asks something she didn’t know before, probing Harlee from his mouth to see how much Harlee can confess to her.
“Chen … Eliza?”
Harlee’s eyes flickered slightly, touched her nose, and leaned back on the couch in silence.
“Huh.”
Adriana snorted, “This is what you call getting me to trust you? A little thing is hidden so deeply. But you don’t have to say that I’m not interested in your affair with Eliza at all.”
Put down the cup in your hand, get up, do a stretch, then walk to your desk and look at the paperwork.
She was so bashful that she really didn’t seem to care about his business.
Harlee’s heart is more or less not, “It’s not that I don’t talk to you, but …”
“Stop!”
Adriana raised her hand to interrupt him, “I gave you a chance to say something, you didn’t, and now you don’t have to. I’m going to work, you should do what you need to do, go do what you need to do. Also, you don’t need to interfere in the matter between me and the old man. If you think I shouldn’t be in the Fryer Group, just say the word and I’ll immediately pack up my things and get out of your sight.”
How could she not want to leave?
To be precise, she wants to go more than anyone else, only now the situation does not allow it.
“There’s really nothing you can do about it.”
Harlee’s temples jutted out in anger, then she walked over to the couch and sat down.
So far, neither of them is paying attention to the other, so they are at a standstill.
An hour or so later, Old Mr. Soto appeared in the office.
Adriana looked up at him and saw that the old man was as gloomy as ink, with his hands behind his back, and his aura was overwhelming.
A high profile of the rise of the teacher, she did not even bother to speak.
Continue to look down at that one document, intending to finish processing it.
Who expected the old man was not happy, walked to her desk, raised his foot and kicked the desk, making a loud noise.
Adriana had no choice but to close the file, “Something wrong?”
There was no honorific, a straightforward questioning.
Since returning to the Soto family, Adriana has tried to make peace with Old Mr. Soto, or rather, to really treat him as her own grandfather and feel what it’s like to have a loved one to dote on.
Naive, in that beautiful surface underneath, hidden nasty heart, all conspiracy and calculation, the deceitful.
“As the CEO of the company, you disappeared for a few days for no reason, you didn’t answer the phone, you didn’t handle the company’s business. Adriana, since you came back to the Soto family, I ask myself not to treat you harshly, but this girl is really disappointing!”
The old man turned the walnuts with his back in the outstretched hand, and knocked on the table with his other hand, somewhat angrily.
“So what, what are going to do with me?”
Adriana doesn’t want to explain, and doesn’t care to explain.
“You …!”
Bang–
When Adriana refuted her face, Old Mr. Soto slapped the table in anger, and his voice was particularly harsh.
Harlee saw that the situation was not good, immediately stood up and walked to the front of the two, “Grandpa, Adri is not in a good mood lately, she just went out for a walk to adjust her mood to go. Besides, in the time she has been with the company, the company’s revenue has increased by ten points in just a few months, and she is considered the best among young people. Very good.”
As the older brother, Harlee sold out to intercede for his sister.
Everywhere, she defended Adriana and sincerely hoped that the old man would not ask for her guilt.
“Get out of the way, who’s talking to you.”
The old man had a sullen face and did not give Harlee any face.
Originally Adriana was quite annoyed Harlee, but now see the old man that fierce, unrecognizable look, the fire came up.
Standing up, he looked at him and said, “He’s my brother, how come he can’t speak for me?”
A word that fell on Harlee’s ears, causing him to flinch for a few seconds and look at her in amazement, his heart gleaming.
Yesterday she called out to her brother a few times, which was enough to make him happy.
Today Adriana actually contradicted the old man for him, although it was bad, but actually went to disobey the old man for him.
At this moment, Harlee is excited and happy.
There is an urge to rush to Adriana and hug her tightly.
“I’m talking to you, it’s not his turn to interrupt!”
Old Mr. Soto is not going to change his attitude because of Adriana’s words, but rather more stern.
“Really, then I’d like to ask you. Without my permission, you announced my relationship with Raylan to the public without permission, isn’t it a bit … excessive? It’s not your turn to interfere in my affairs! ”
“Unbridled!”
The old man was angry, and a heavy slap on the mahogany desk surface.
