“What are you afraid of, I’m with Eliza
It’s not like you’re not coming back. It’s just that you can come back whenever you want.”
“As you wish.”
Adriana sighed and took a tissue to wipe her eyes, “It’s fine, actually, I want to be like you guys.”
Adriana glared at Harlee and recoiled in relief.
She had previously felt guilty for hogging things that should have belonged to Harlee, but now her heart is a little lighter knowing that Harlee doesn’t care about these things.
“I wish I was like you, but unfortunately I don’t have the chance now.”
There really isn’t any chance of that.
Because …
She is different from Harlee.
Harlee only has Eliza, and she has Peter behind her, Peter’s family, and Jenkins’ family that needs her to protect and hold her up.
As long as Brenden is still around, as long as those who are eyeing the Obren are still around, Adriana instinctively feels that she will not come down easy.
But now knowing that these people are leaving one by one, it’s really hard for her heart, it’s very hard.
The pain was like a large palm tightly choking her neck, so that she could not breathe.
Harlee sensed that Adriana was not in a good mood and added, “You don’t have to worry, we’re just going back for a while and will be back in a while.”
“When?”
“In a few days.”
“In a few days?!”
“Three to five days.”
Adriana: “…”
After a long moment of silence, she waved her hand, “Go away, I want to be alone and quiet.”
Adriana really wants to be alone and quiet and is not in a very good mood right now.
“Okay then, you sit down for a while, I have to go back and check on Eliza. She’s pretty bored at home by herself.”
“Go ahead.”
Adriana smiled as she watched Harlee leave.
Harlee closes the office door and leaves.
The formerly lively office was now left to herself, which made Adriana feel a little lonely, empty and cold.
That feeling of despondency may not be felt by others, but she personally experienced, that feeling is really hard to say.
There are only a few people I trust around me, Alvin, Raylan.
But now they’re both leaving.
Although after leaving is to face a new life, but into her world for so long in the person, so soon to leave, but she can not let go.
Adriana sat in the office all day without eating, unmotivated to work.
It wasn’t until Peter’s phone rang in the evening that her meditation and contemplation was interrupted.
“Adriana, what time do you get off work?”
Adriana looked at the time and it was already 8:00 pm.
She patted her head, “Good, good, soon the paperwork in hand will be finished, I’ll be back later.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
The man didn’t ask anything, didn’t say anything, didn’t even come over to pick her up from work.
…
Asnana villa.
Zac sat down in front of Peter and looked at him with his chin in his hand, “You knew Adriana was in a bad mood, why didn’t you go pick her up yourself?”
“She needs some privacy, and my presence, on the contrary, will make her more stressed.”
A woman, how can she be sad for another man in front of her husband?
Adriana doesn’t show it so obviously, because Peter knows her too well.
Instead of picking up Adriana and making her pretend to be happy and relaxed, Peter would prefer to leave Adriana alone to let herself go and have a good time.
Peter waited at home for a long time before Adriana came back.
No matter how late it is, whenever Adriana enters Asnana villa, she is sure to see him on the bench on the left side of the courtyard.
Or legs folded holding a laptop in busy, or looking down at the file, or holding a magazine flipping through …
The car stopped, Peter got up and walked over, and Adriana got out of the car.
“Adriana?”
“Honey.”
The two looked at each other, the man stepped forward and took her into his arms, dropping a kiss on her forehead, “Hard work.”
“Nowhere.”
Adriana leaned into his arms.
The two did not speak, but embraced each other for a long, long time.
It was not until Adriana soothed the sadness in her heart that she stood out from the man’s arms.
“Let’s go inside.”
She said.
Peter slightly jawed and took her hand, “Today I made mushroom soup for you, the first time I did it, so I took you to try the poison.”
He said it half-jokingly.
Adriana was relieved, “Actually, you don’t have to make soup every day.”
Now Peter stays at home every day to recuperate his body, alone is really boring, if not she works too much every day, really want to spend time with him at home.
“Honey, how about going to the office with me tomorrow?”
Harlee will be leaving in a few days, the company still needs her to handle things personally, and now Peter is too bored at home alone, so it’s a good idea to take Peter to the company together.
Peter, who went to the kitchen and walked out with two bowls of soup, smiled dotingly, “Obey.”
He had thought about it a long time ago, but didn’t want to interfere with Adriana’s work, so he didn’t squeal.
Since she said so, he naturally obeyed.
The two were sitting at the table chatting away when Adriana’s cell phone rang.
Adriana didn’t want to answer the phone, but when she saw that it was Dayana, she answered it anyway.
“Dayana?”
“Ms. Hale, excuse me for calling you so late.”
Dayana said politely.
Adriana mused that it was probably because more things had happened in the last two days, and she alone had directly affected three companies and tarnished the reputation of YY Entertainment Company along with them.
Now she is calling to cancel the cooperation with the company, after all, the contract has not been signed, it is not too late to backtrack.
“It’s not too late, I’m still dining. Is there something wrong?”
“I just wanted to ask how things are going with the agent contact on your side?”
It was clear that she meant to continue working with Adriana.
Adriana was a little surprised and raised her eyes to look at Peter, then said to Dayana, “Dayana, Jimmy is very busy with his daily work, I think … he would have refused.”
She didn’t want to bother Jimmy with some nonsense about her own company.
“Oh, yeah.”
Dayana responded, and after a short silence, she said, “Well, then, we’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Hmm.”
Hanging up the phone, Adriana put it down.
Looking up at Peter, a slightly puzzled look flashed across his eyes, somewhat confused by Dayana’s routine.
“What the hell is this Dayana’s set-up, honey, could she be coming for Jimmy?” Adriana sensed something keenly.
If Dayana is here for Jimmy, then she really should give Jimmy a call.
Peter’s gaze flickered slightly as he thought for a moment, “Maybe, not really.”
“Oh.”
When she couldn’t get an answer, Adriana stopped asking questions, and the two of them chatted and ate together.
After the meal, Adriana went to brush the dishes.
Sitting on the couch absentmindedly brushing up on the TV show, Peter came over with a fruit plate, pinched his fork and forked a piece of fruit and handed it to Adriana’s mouth, “Here, have a piece of fruit.”
