“How are you doing with Peter now?”
Raylan asks about the relationship between Adriana and Peter.
This issue is so long time Raylan most concerned about the topic, only now he and Adriana no contact between them also do not know what happened between them.
But Raylan really wants Adriana and Peter to be happy together.
“Me?”
Adriana removed the scarf hanging from her neck, sighed, and said, “We’re fine, and you? How about now?”
She was also concerned about Raylan’s current situation and asked again, “I think that Siena is looking at you differently, are you … really …”
“Don’t be ridiculous, she’s just …”
Raylan’s eyes flickered slightly, and knowing in his heart that there were some things Adriana must not know yet, so he did not say, he said, “Just friends.”
If there is no mistake, Peter must not have told Adriana about his physical condition at first.
In that case, it is also best to keep Adriana out of the loop.
He also did not want to add to Adriana’s grief.
“Your company is developing well now, and when the time comes, if I can, I hope our companies will have the opportunity to cooperate.”
Adriana stepped aside, got two glasses of water and handed one to Raylan, “It’s really nice to see you again.”
“Then why didn’t you call me after all this time?”
“This …”
Adriana some hesitation, really do not know how to go with Raylan to say these words, although the heart very much want to explain, but the words to the mouth and swallowed back.
“I’ve been busy for a while now.”
“Adri, from the time I saw you I noticed that you were pale, very different from the way you were back then. To be precise, I feel that you are very weak now, what is going on?”
When he saw Adriana just now, Raylan noticed something unusual, but because Siena was there, he did not ask so much.
“It’s okay with me, it’s fine.”
Adriana’s eyes are a little evasive, not even daring to go so far in front of him, and not wanting him to follow the worry.
“You’re lying to me?”
A hunch, a gut feeling, made Raylan think that Adriana must be hiding something from her.
“It’s almost New Year’s Eve and now the company is on full holiday, and as far as I know, Peter is supposed to be sick today, so why didn’t you match the change around him and chose to come to Floedan instead?”
A series of questions came to mind, making Raylan’s mind more gripped and wanting to know the questions even more.
“Raylan, you need to stop asking questions.”
Adriana waved her hand, not wanting to explain so much, but rather felt that Raylan’s eyes were too sharp, making her a bit scandalized.
I don’t understand how she sensed the difference.
“That … I’m a little hungry, what do you want to eat?”
“I don’t want anything, I just want to know what you want now, and what you want in your haste to come over to Floedan? I just need a valid reason.”
In the face of Raylan’s constant questioning, Adriana was really helpless.
A cold face, frowned: “I do not understand what you are talking about, Raylan, you are a little too much in charge.”
Adriana took a large sip of water from her glass and shook her head with a sigh, “Order your food, what do you want to know, let’s sit down and talk slowly, okay?”
Now Adriana does not feel the need to hide something from Raylan.
Between her and Raylan, the two trusted each other, knew each other, and the kind of feeling they built up between each other could give him a good idea of how she was doing.
That’s what makes Adriana feel so ashamed of Raylan.
Because if it were her, she may not know Raylan that well.
“Actually, I’m not saying that I could detect the end at first sight.”
Raylan suddenly sighed and raised a hand to rub his temples, “Peter was found to be investigating the matter early in the morning, but it seems that no information was found.”
“What?”
This scared Adriana and she looked at him, “When did this happen, how do you know?”
If everything is the same as Raylan said, then Peter must have been suspecting her for a long time, except that until now Peter has not bothered to ask anything, which in turn makes Adriana think that Peter must have found out something.
“So now …”
Recalling Peter’s attitude when she left Asnana villa today, Adriana suddenly felt that something was wrong.
“Raylan?!”
She suddenly called out.
Raylan looked up at her, “What’s wrong?”
“Go, hurry up and take me away.”
Adriana carried the things, a tug on Raylan, that nervous look also let Raylan followed the heart.
He frowned, and a feeling of uneasiness came over him.
“Where are we going?”
“Take me away to a place where no one can find me, and I want absolute, absolute, absolute safety and seclusion.”
An ‘absolute’ said three times is enough to show the seriousness of the problem.
Raylan’s face was cold and thoughtful, but he said to her, “Follow me.”
The two took the elevator to the parking lot, then got right into Raylan’s car and left the hotel.
After going out from the hotel, the two switched a few cars on the road, and after that sped all the way out of the city and into the suburbs, the countryside.
“What’s going on and what are you running from?”
Raylan some nervous, all the way Adriana are not talking, in turn, let Raylan follow the fear.
He took a sideways glance and suddenly felt that the little woman sitting next to him was breathing a little heavily and sounded a little out of place.
“Adriana? Adri, are you okay?”
Raylan drove, looking at her from time to time, worried about her and afraid to stop.
“Drive, drive!”
Adriana clutched her seat belt with both hands, closed her eyes and said, “Raylan, next, don’t ask me anything, give me some space, take me away as far as you can.”
She was afraid, afraid that everything was a ploy by Peter, afraid of what Peter would find out.
“Are you … having an old problem from back in the day?”
The so-called old problem is probably the same one that made you sick in the hotel back then.
“No … you don’t ask, don’t ask.”
Adriana clenched her teeth and didn’t want to say a word to Raylan.
Now she was frothing and trembling, and even felt uncomfortable everywhere.
From a few months ago until now, every time she was sick she left Peter and went far away. Even every time she was sick, she suffered alone in silence.
Adriana sometimes doubts herself and wonders how she could have had so much perseverance up until now.
Now when you think about it, it was her love for Peter that gave her enough courage to sustain her until now.
“Why cheat on Peter, why hide it from her?”
Raylan’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw Adriana like that, “Are you guilty of the same thing as Peter?”
A sixth sense made him feel that it was really exactly the same as Peter’s illness.
Although not very sure, but also eight or nine.
