“Ms. Hale, leave everything to us.”
Aaren patted his chest with confidence.
Giovanny jowled slightly toward Adriana, “Ms. Hale is at ease.”
At ease?
How can Adriana be reassured now?
Just thinking about what Old Mr. Soto had said made her feel shaky and trembling inside.
But on second thought, the first day of the year can not avoid the fifteenth, the one that comes is finally going to come.
The two children had already changed their clothes and each came out of the room.
“Mommy, we’re leaving then.”
“Mommy, don’t miss us.”
Looking at the two lovely children, Adriana walked over and rubbed the hair of the two little ones, “Be good, be good, and remember to call me if anything happens, or ask for Aaren and Uncle Giovanny.”
“We are all big kids already, mommy don’t worry too much about us oh.”
Luis grinned, looked at Helen again, and said, “I’m the older brother, and I’ll make sure to take good care of Helen.”
“Ch, what you are my brother ah, is not just half an hour earlier than me.”
“Not to mention half an hour, it’s your brother even a minute earlier.”
Adriana: “…”
“You are brother and sister, go out to take care of each other, do not cause trouble, understand.”
“I know.”
“Gee, Mommy, you’re so nosy.”
Helen listened to her mommy’s rambling words with some helplessness, “Let’s go, bye.”
“Hmm.”
Adriana waved her hand and watched them both pull their suitcases, with Aaren and Giovanny following close behind, still more than a little uneasy at heart.
She did not send the two children away, but simply stood on the balcony and watched as their car slowly drove out of the neighborhood.
Adriana does not like parting, because every parting always makes people inexplicably sad.
After packing up at home for a while, I drove to the office, had a morning meeting, and then started to deal with the documents. The secretary came over and reported the work schedule for the day.
The people had just gone out when she received a text message from Aaren, [Already on the plane, don’t worry, we’ll take care of them].
[Hard work.]
Adriana replied with two words.
After a busy day, Adriana met with two clients in the afternoon and returned to the office at 6:00 pm.
Raylan made a call to Adriana, “Off duty yet?”
“Just finished working. What’s going on?”
“Do you want to have dinner together tonight, I’ll treat you.”
Adriana leaned back in her executive chair, looked at the time on her computer, and nodded, “Fine.”
“Okay then, see you later.”
Hanging up the phone, she slumped back in her chair and squinted for a while
Knock Knock-
A knock on the door woke Adriana, “Enter.”
Raylan pushed through the door and walked in holding a bouquet of flowers and placed them on her desk, “For you.”
Adriana looked at the bouquet of lilies plus roses, dotted with full blooms, leaned over and sniffed, “Well, it smells pretty good, thanks. But … Raylan, I think it’s better not to send it in the future, I …”
“I know you don’t like me, it’s hard not to, give me a chance to woo you?”
Raylan interrupted Adriana directly and gagged her.
Adriana was rather bemused, “Okay.”
Now that she has said that, what else can she say?
The two then went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, only to receive a phone call in the middle of the meal, and Raylan said to her with a serious look on his face, “Adri, sorry, I have to leave for a while.”
“It’s okay, go ahead.”
“That’s fine, I’ll treat you later.”
Raylan picked up his suit and hurried out of the box.
At this time, a waiter sent over a cup of honey grapefruit tea, “This is the store’s new drink, free to taste.”
The waiter put down the honey grapefruit tea and walked away.
Adriana looked at a table of rich dinner, can only be enjoyed by one person, can not eat all the real pity.
One can only eat alone while sipping a drink.
After eating, the party left the hotel.
Because she left in Raylan’s car, she had to take a taxi now that Raylan was gone.
In the early spring evening, the streets are not very crowded, and after the rush hour, they are not so congested.
Adriana sat in the cab, looking out the window at the neon-lit night scene, deep in thought.
“Master, go along the river.”
“Okay.”
Without her children around, Adriana wanted to walk along the river by herself.
The car turned left and headed in the direction of the river road, not much further, bang, a loud bang, accompanied by a violent crash, Adriana was caught off guard and crashed into the front car seat, knocked dizzy.
Immediately covered his head, looked back, did not see clearly what was behind, the side of a car and crashed over, the door of the cab he was in are dented a few points, the car passively slid a few dozen centimeters towards the left.
“SHIT, what’s going on?”
The driver was wearing a seatbelt and Rene was unharmed, but was surprised by the suddenness of the situation.
“Go, go, go quickly!”
Adriana instantly instructed the cab driver, “Hurry up.”
“Good, good, good.”
The cab driver stepped on the gas pedal, violently increased speed, sped away, smoothly escaped the danger, not forgetting to ask: “My goodness, girl, in the end you are what kind of person ah? This in the end offended is what big man ah? In broad daylight to … ouch I go, here we go again, here we go again.”
The cab driver has not finished a sentence, the car behind and catch up.
Adriana was frightened and pulled out her cell phone to call for help, but then Alvin’s call came in.
“Senpai?” Adriana answered the phone and asked nervously, “Is something wrong?”
While she was on the phone, she looked back at the situation behind her, fearing that several cars behind her had followed.
As expected, a car suddenly picked up speed and came straight towards her side, “Watch out, master, accelerate, accelerate, they are coming after us.”
“Ugh ugh, well, I’ve fucking throttled up to the bottom.”
The cab driver was scared out of his mind and has been sweating profusely for a short time.
“Adri, what’s going on at your end, what’s happening?”
“Senior, I’m along the river road and I’m in a bit of trouble.”
Although Adriana said very calmly, but from Adriana’s reaction just now has been very obvious to feel that things are not simple.
Alvin immediately said, “Don’t worry, I’ll call someone over right away, What’s App, share the location with What’s App immediately.”
“Okay, I know.”
Adriana hangs up the phone, opens the What’s App, and because the body keeps getting hit, taps the phone screen several times before tapping in and initiating a location share with Alvin.
By this time, the cab had entered the road along the river, and the night breeze by the river was slightly cool, and people were scarce.
The performance of several cars behind is obviously better than the cab, but it is a few minutes, directly forced the cab to stop at the side of the road.
“It’s over, it’s over.”
The cab driver was bloodless with fear and sat there shivering.
Knock Knock-
Several cars came down several uniformly dressed, strong men, walked up to the cab and knocked on the window glass and beckoned to the cab driver, “Come down.”
