Chapter 131 An Accident
She did not think too much about it and immediately took out her phone and opened the message.
“Wait for me at the underground garage at six o’clock this afternoon. If you have something to say, say it.”
It was a simple sentence and the order was clear.
Adele suddenly felt a little excited. He said that there was something going on. It might be related to Old Man Bai’s birthday on Sunday. Maybe Damon had already planned to deal with Frank.
She quickly tapped on the screen and replied with two words, “Okay.”
Putting down the phone, Adele suddenly felt a lot more relaxed. As long as she could start moving, the distance to return her innocence would be very close.
She rested for a while at noon. When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Adele was a little sleepy. She picked up the phone and scrolled through the messages. She saw the messages in the department group chat incessantly.
“Did you know that Mr. Yusuf’s girlfriend came today? She is very beautiful!”
“Is that so? Do you have a photo? Please share it with me!”
“…”
There were many women in the department, but now that they were talking about gossip, the popularity rose. After a while, someone really sent a picture. Although it was blurry, it could still be seen that the man in the picture was a talented woman. It was quite a good match.
Looking at the two people in the picture, for some reason, Adele felt as if something was blocking his heart, and he felt a little bitter.
Unexpectedly, after Clara finished the operation, she couldn’t wait to see Damon in a few days.
Adele threw down the phone in his hand, picked up the cup and went to the tea area to pour water. Coincidentally, two female colleagues were standing there drinking tea and chatting.
After a simple greeting, Adele began to boil water to make tea.
“This is the first time that our Mr. Yusuf has a cycad tree blooming. When have we ever seen a woman beside him?”
“That’s right. I heard that Miss Moore is still in the office. It seems that the two of them have a good relationship…”
The sounds of discussion entered her ears. Adele gritted her teeth and felt a little upset.
She made tea and turned around to leave the tea area. She went straight back to the office.
“Ms. Wes, come here.”
Before he reached the door, Corine stopped him.
“Okay.”
Adele put down the cup and followed Corine into the office.
“Corine, what can I do for you?”
“Take this document to the president’s office and have Mr. Yusuf sign it.” Corine raised his hand and handed over a document.
Adele’s outstretched hand paused, and an unnatural expression flashed across his face.
Corine did not notice her abnormality and instructed, “Send it as soon as possible. Sign it and come back to me.”
“Okay.” Adele took a deep breath.
She turned around and walked out of the manager’s office. Adele felt that the thing in her hand was like a hot potato and could not be thrown away. She was in a dilemma.
If she went to send Damon documents at this time, she would definitely bump into him and Clara. If she did not go, Corine would wait for it again.
She looked up and wanted to find someone to send it for her, but in the department, the only person who could send it for her was Grace. But Grace was so close to Sherry now, how could he help her?
After thinking about it, she could not think of a good way. Adele took a deep breath and had to take the documents to the president’s office.
At this time, she could only bite the bullet and go up.
When she arrived at the president’s office, Adele saw Sherry standing at the door from afar. She and Jane were standing together, and the two of them were discussing something in low voices.
Sherry was originally smiling, but when she looked up and saw Adele, the expression on her face suddenly froze.
Glancing at the document in Adele’s hand, she did not say anything. She turned her head proudly and did not stop her.
At this time, Adele hoped that she could stop her, but… she did not.
Taking a deep breath, Adele bit her lips and stepped forward. She raised her hand and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Hearing the voice inside, Adele gathered her courage and pushed the door open.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Damon sitting in front of the desk, and Clara was sitting on a small chair, quietly guarding the side.
She took a deep breath, walked forward and handed the document over. “Mr. Yusuf, this document needs your signature.”
Damon glanced at her indifferently. There was no extra emotion on his face. He reached out to take the document and began to read it. Clara, who was beside him, was much more interested in Adele.
The current Clara looked much better than when she was in the hospital. She had red cheeks and pink lips. She wore a long beige dress and had an outstanding temperament. Although her obedient appearance made people feel close to her, the corners of her eyes carried a bit of pride. She was not overbearing, but she was full of confidence.
The wealth of the world, the rich little sister, these synonyms were suitable for Clara.
Adele could feel her gaze wandering on her. She lowered her eyes slightly, hoping that Damon could finish signing the document as soon as possible so that she could leave quickly.
Clara sized her up. Finally, his gaze fell on her chest card. When he saw the three words “Adele”, his eyes suddenly darkened, and the expression on his face was somewhat distorted.
It was actually her!
Clara bit her lips and her face gradually returned to normal. The corners of her lips curled up into a faint smile and she called out her name in a clear voice, “Adele.”
Hearing this, Adele’s back suddenly tightened. When she raised her head, Clara had already smiled and looked at Damon beside her.
“Damon, so it was her?”
When Damon heard this, her hand that was flipping through the documents paused and she looked at Clara. “What?”
Adele was extremely nervous. From what Clara said, could it be that Damon had once discussed with her? Or did Clara know about her relationship with Damon?
How was that possible?
Clara smiled harmlessly and winked at Damon. “It was the last time I heard her voice on the phone and misunderstood you.”
Hearing her say this, Adele heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that she was talking about that matter.
A trace of emotion flashed past Damon’s eyes, but in the end, he replied indifferently, “Yes, it’s her.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Clara smiled, turned to look at Adele, and said softly, “Don’t take offense to what happened last time. Damon has already explained it to me. I misunderstood you.”
Adele was confused, so he had no choice but to agree and nod at her in confusion.
Just as she was lost in thought, Damon handed over the document. “It’s signed.”
Adele reacted and quickly accepted it. She turned around and walked out.
Before she took two steps, she heard Clara’s voice coming from behind her.
“Damon, I will accompany you to work this afternoon. I won’t make trouble…”
“No, you are still in recovery period. You have to rest more.”
“No, I just want to accompany you!”
“…”
Walking out of the office, Adele closed the door casually, isolating the sound inside. She took a deep breath and her mind was a little chaotic.
She had always thought that Damon was a god-like figure that ordinary people could not touch, but she did not expect that in front of Clara, he was actually no different from an ordinary person in love.
He was gentle, patient, and considerate… but he only treated Clara alone.
Back then, when they were in Yusuf family’s villa, although he treated her well, it was cold concern and polite inquiry.
With a bitter smile on his lips, Adele clenched the document and quickened his pace to leave.
The scene of Damon and Clara together just now still appeared in front of his eyes. The two of them were a perfect match. They were indeed a perfect match. Even if the two of them did not talk or look at each other, just sitting together, they were like magnets, attractive to each other.
They were true love, and the time she appeared in Damon’s life was at most an accident.
