Chapter 99 The Old Pervert
Damon’s deep eyes narrowed, and he paused for a moment. Before he could speak, a phone call came in.
Glancing at it, Damon paused for half a second. He directly picked up the phone.
“Peter, what’s wrong?”
“Miss Moore is not in a good condition. You’d better come to the hospital to take a look.” Peter said in a low voice.
Hearing the words “Miss Moore”, Adele subconsciously shivered, and her body stiffened.
Because of Peter’s words, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became much more serious. Damon’s expression changed, and he stepped on the accelerator directly.
Adele suddenly leaned forward, and before she could react, Damon had turned the steering wheel.
“I’ll be there soon.”
He stopped the car by the side of the road and turned to look at Adele. “You go back first.” There was a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Adele’s heart tightened. She pushed open the door and got out of the car. As soon as her foot touched the ground, Damon had already started the car.
He stepped on the accelerator and the car drove away. Adele stood by the side of the road and looked at the car that was getting farther and farther away. A trace of bitterness appeared in her heart.
Whenever Clara was mentioned, the usually calm and collected Damon would lose his composure. This was love.
She looked around. It was pitch black. There were not a few cars on the road. Damon had left her alone on the dark road because of another woman.
Suddenly, Adele felt as if her heart had been fiercely rubbed by a pair of big hands. She felt suffocated and uncomfortable.
She bit her lip, and the pain forced her to wake up a little.
It was unrealistic to stop a car here, but there was no one she could ask for help from…
A wave of bitterness arose in her heart, and then a face appeared in his mind.
After hesitating, Adele still picked up her phone and dialed Owen’s number.
Although she had not known him for long, she could only ask him for help now.
“Hello? Adele.”
“Owen, can you come and pick me up…” Adele tightened her grip on her phone.
“Where are you? I’ll go right now.” The other side asked without hesitation.
Twenty minutes later, Owen drove over. When he saw Adele huddled up by the flower bed, his heart suddenly softened.
He pushed open the car door and got out. He quickly stepped forward, took off his coat, and draped it over Adele.
When Adele raised her head and saw Owen, a layer of fog immediately appeared in her eyes, hazy and dense, making people feel pity.
“Sorry, I’m late,” Owen said in a soft voice.
“No.” Adele stood up, her mood complicated.
She and Damon were husband and wife, but he actually left her alone in the wilderness, and the one who gave her warmth was Owen, whom she had only seen a few times.
“Where are you going? I’ll send you.” Owen hesitated for a moment and asked softly.
“I…”
She did not want to go home. If she went home, she had to listen to her mom’s constant nagging.
“Can you send me to the Dream Hotel in the city center…?”
Hearing this, Owen subconsciously frowned. “Dream Hotel?”
“I don’t want to go home today, and after sleeping a night at the hotel, I’ll go straight to work tomorrow.” Adele bit her lips.
Hearing this, Owen did not ask more. He directly drove her to the door of Dream Hotel. Adele thanked him. Just two steps later, she found that her shoulder was still covered with Owen’s coat.
Just as she was about to turn around, her shoulder suddenly sank and she heard the man’s low and gentle voice, “I’ll send you in.”
Looking at the big hand on her shoulder and then at the determined Owen, Adele felt warm in her heart and swallowed back the words she was about to say.
It had to be said that the feeling of being cared for was still very good.
The two of them walked into the hotel side by side. They did not notice that there was a person hiding behind the pillar next to them. The person was wearing a mask and a cap. His whole body was covered up. He was holding a phone and the camera was aimed at Adele and Owen…
After checking in, Owen sent Adele to the lift and left. When she got to her room, she felt tired and weak. She took out her pocket and suddenly felt something slippery.
She quickly took it out. It was a familiar red silk bag. When she opened it, a silver bracelet was revealed.
This was the greeting gift Old Madame had wanted to give her when she went to the grand house for the first time. How could it appear in her pocket?
Could it be…
The scene of Old Madame hugging her before she left flashed through her mind. Could it be that she had taken the opportunity to stuff it into her pocket?
She still remembered that Old Madame had once said that this bracelet was a relic left behind by Damon’s mother, and it represented the recognition of the Yusuf family.
For a moment, an indescribable bitterness and emotion welled up in her heart.
Grandmother was so good to her that she could not bear to confess the truth and could not bear to hurt her in the slightest.
For the sake of Old Madame’s health, she would accompany Damon to continue this act. As for this silver bracelet, she would return it to Damon another day…
Adele tossed and turned. She did not sleep well the entire night. The next day, she stared at the two big dark circles under her eyes and went straight to work.
After dealing with most of the important matters at hand, Adele immediately rushed to the vice president’s office and waited for Frank’s orders at any time.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
Just as she arrived to report, Frank raised his eyes and glanced at her indifferently. He casually threw her a stack of documents. “Go and highlight the key points in these documents so that it will be easier for me to read.”
“Okay.” Adele lowered her eyes slightly and quickly agreed.
She held the document and was about to leave when he stopped her. “Wait.”
“Vice President Williams, is there a problem?” Adele was stunned and turned to look at Frank.
“Where are you going?” Frank raised his eyebrows.
“I’m going back… to work.”
“Stay here and work,” said Frank, raising his chin.
Adele looked over and saw the sofa next to her. She hesitated.
If she worked here, what would others think of her?
“Vice President Williams, this is not appropriate…” said Adele bravely.
Frank’s face sank, and he said coldly, “What’s wrong with that? It can improve your work efficiency. Hurry up.”
Seeing his firm attitude, Adele had no choice but to take the documents and sit down on the sofa.
Not long after, a few colleagues came to report the project. When they opened the door, they saw her sitting on the sofa, and their expressions were somewhat intriguing.
After enduring for an entire morning, Adele finally came out of the vice president’s office and went to eat with Shirley when it was time for lunch.
On the way, Shirley saw that she did not look too good and could not help but ask, “After working at the vice president’s place for half a day, how did you become like this?”
Adele sighed helplessly and told Shirley everything that had happened in the morning.
When Shirley heard this, she could not help but widen her eyes. She leaned over and whispered, “Is Vice President Williams interested in you?”
When Adele heard this, she thought of Frank’s pair of eagle eyes and could not help but shiver. “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Shirley shook her head and said seriously, “I am serious. Do you not know that he is an old pervert?”
