“Good.”
Adriana was surprised to see her uncle at Oblurg Group.
It’s just that every time I think of him as Lane’s half-brother I feel very complicated inside.
An indescribable feeling came over me.
“Oblurg Group and Fryer Group have rarely cooperated before, now that you and I are both in charge of the company, why don’t we sign a long-term cooperation plan, what do you think?”
With the strength of the Oblurg Group, signing a long-term partnership with the Fryer Group would be a good thing for Adriana.
“You used to take care of me in Los Angeles, and I didn’t think I’d have to be taken care of by you now.”
She smiled, raised her hand to lift the hair on the side of the ear to pin behind the ear, a brilliant smile revealing a shallow pear swirl, very beautiful and lovely.
She then said, “What’s the plan, why don’t you tell us?”
“Here’s the thing, our company mainly produces cosmetic raw materials, while you guys are product development and marketing. How about signing a ten-year contract to develop a new mask product together, what do you think?”
Lane has always had a good relationship with Adriana, and now they don’t have to hide it when they talk together.
Such frankness makes Adriana feel pretty good.
“Really, that’s just great.”
Adriana smiled heartily, raised her wrist to look at the time on her watch and said, “I don’t have much time today, I have to go home. As for the details of the company’s cooperation, I’ll take you to lunch tomorrow and we’ll talk slowly, okay?”
Because she had just said she was busy in the evening and that Raylan was waiting for her outside right now.
With Lane’s support of her work in mind, it was imperative to treat someone to a meal, and the reason she just gave was the best way to treat them.
Lane raised an eyebrow and gave a slight jaw, “No problem. Support.”
The little woman stood up and took the lead in extending her hand, “Mr. Powell, that’s all for today, let’s talk tomorrow.”
The man raised an eyebrow, “I think you’d better call me Uncle to fit in better.”
He raised his hand and touched the short scruff on his chin, wrinkled his eyebrows in deep thought, and the calmness between his words and manner made Adriana think he was a very affable and calm person.
“Is that so? Then … Uncle, see you later.”
The man reached out, and the two shook hands symbolically, each parting.
Adriana has always been indifferent and cold in the mall, but in front of Lane, she shows the sweetness and cuteness of the little girl next door, which makes people like her.
“Okay, I’ll drive you.”
Lane walked Adriana into the elevator and each parted ways.
Adriana came down the stairs and just walked out the door of the building when she saw Raylan standing on the road, leaning against the car.
He placed one hand in the pocket of his pants, a cigarette in one hand, wearing silver-gray sunglasses, his head down and wondering what he was thinking.
She couldn’t see Raylan’s expression, but she could feel the melancholy aura emanating from him.
Adriana walked over towards him, “Let’s go.”
Pull open the door of the sedan and go straight to the passenger seat.
I always feel that I should have a good chat with Raylan, otherwise there will be all kinds of chaos behind.
Raylan took a puff of his cigarette, flicked his fingertips, and the butt landed precisely in a trash can on the side.
Pull open the door, get in, start the sedan, and leave in the dust.
In a Western restaurant.
The two of them casually ordered some western food and sat quietly.
Adriana took her phone and edited a message to Peter.
[Honey, I’m dining out with Raylan today, I’ll be back later.
Because she trusts Peter too much, Adriana decides not to hide anything from him in order to be frank with each other.
Except, of course, for the healing of Peter’s body, which cannot be told.
Putting the phone down, she leaned back on the card seat and looked across at Raylan, “You haven’t been to Oblurg Group lately either, aren’t you going to go back to Floedan for now?”
Raylan, a native of Floedan, came to Waverly because the Oblurg Group was founded in Waverly.
Now that the Oblurg Group has been taken over by Lane and Raylan has no intention of returning to the Oblurg Group, Adriana feels that it would be more appropriate to return to Floedan if that is the case.
Raylan holding a red wine glass, long fingers with jade-like bones gently gripping, swirling dark red liquor, his gaze deep and hollow as he gazed at the table.
Seemingly, thinking about something.
When he didn’t say anything, Adriana added, “I don’t know what your future goals or plans are, but I think you’re a very smart person and being in Waverly will only delay your future.”
Adriana knows that Raylan has deep feelings for her, but right now she really doesn’t want Raylan to be obsessed.
“You are my future.”
The man did not say anything for a long time, and suddenly a sentence surprised Adriana dumb.
The mind goes blank for a moment, mute and unconscious.
After a few seconds of reprieve, she picked up her glass and took a shallow sip of red wine to suppress the shock.
The little woman’s eyes flashed, not daring to look directly at Raylan, “That … me, I’m with honey now. I know exactly what I want, so Raylan, I really appreciate meeting you, thank you for paying so much for me and helping me so much. If I could, I would like us to be friends for life, or relatives. But, never as a couple.”
Adriana held her glass of wine and looked down in contemplation with a somewhat heavy heart.
“Raylan, there are really many, many women who like you, and I …”
“Ho-hum …”
Halfway through the little woman’s sentence, Raylan suddenly laughed.
That laugh is wildly indulgent.
Adriana was confused.
“Just kidding for you. I’ve got a new girlfriend who’s coming over soon, do you want to meet her?”
Raylan said.
“What?”
Adriana’s jaw dropped, incredulous, “When did this happen, why didn’t you tell me when you had a girlfriend?”
If Raylan did have a girlfriend, she would really be happy.
It just all came so fast that she was a little surprised.
“There’s nothing surprising about it.”
The man suddenly curbed his smile, looked at the western food brought up by the waiter, and said, “Eat first.”
“Didn’t you say your girlfriend is coming over? Let’s wait or we’ll wait, otherwise how bad.”
“No, she doesn’t know when she’s coming over yet. Let’s eat first.”
“That’s fine.”
The two ate and talked, and the other never told Adriana who his girlfriend was.
After the meal, Raylan said that the other party could not come today.
Adriana expressed her regret and took Raylan’s car back to Oblurg Group because her car was at Oblurg Group and had to go back to pick it up.
Walking on the road, I passed a jewelry store.
Adriana instantly said, “Stop, stop.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Raylan you wait here for a minute, I’m going to go down and get something.”
“Good.”
The man stopped the car and Adriana quickly got out and went to a jewelry store down the road.
Entering the jewelry store, she strolled around and a guide came up to her, “Beauty, please choose a necklace or a ring?”
“Is there any jewelry for young women? Preferably the kind that is understated and simple yet good looking.”
