Fatal Love:CEO, please let me go

Chapter 175 They Were All His Pawns



Xiaoman Lu looked at the man in the wheelchair and her expression softened. The warm light gathered on his face, outlining his gentle outline.

At that moment, she couldn’t help but be startled.

When it came to Adele, this man who had a distant look on his face actually became much gentler.

While she was surprised, she couldn’t help but guess into the depths.

Kobei caught the light sneer in Xiaoman Lu’s eyes. He calmly turned around and didn’t say anything else.

It was just acting in front of her and it was a little interesting.

Anyway, there was still a long time to go. Not only Adele, but she was also a chess piece in his hands.

That was all.

The aroma of the grilled meat shop assailed her nostrils.

Adele, who had been hungry for an entire morning, had a large appetite. A few pieces of meat wrapped in the flavor of raw vegetables had suddenly eased her hunger.

When she raised her head, she happened to see Ben picking up his chopsticks to pick up the snowflake beef on the iron web, but who knew that a pair of chopsticks suddenly reached over from the side and quickly picked up the roasted beef.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

“Emily, do you have to be so bad that you have to snatch Assistant Johnson’s meat?” Adele looked at Emily and couldn’t help but chuckle.

“That meat doesn’t have his name written on it. If I snatch it, it will be mine.” Emily said.

When Adele heard this, she looked at Ben and smiled at him helplessly.

Others might not know her best friend, but she knew her best. Only people who were interested in her would be like this. Towards those that she was not interested in, it was a completely disdainful attitude.

For her to treat Ben like this meant that there was a play between her and Ben.

As they chatted and laughed, the atmosphere at the dining table was relaxed and cheerful. After the meal, Adele was full and her mood was much better.

On the way back from the restaurant, Emily suddenly pulled her arm and smiled. “Adele, there is a concert at the end of the month. It will be held at River City International’s venue. Do you want to go?”

“There is your program?” Adele turned to ask her.

“There is a ensemble. I am a cellist.” Emily raised her eyebrows and smiled.

Thinking about how Emily had returned to China for so long and had not had much work to do during this period of time, now that she finally had a show to perform, how could this good friend of hers not go and support her?

“Of course I have to go.”

Adele agreed and turned to look at Ben on the other side, smiling lightly, “Assistant Johnson, come with me. Emily’s cello performance.”

When Ben heard this, she was slightly startled. Her gaze shifted to Emily as if she was asking for her opinion.

Emily glanced at him and deliberately said in a faint tone, “Alright, then I’ll leave an extra ticket.”

When Ben heard this, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, but the expression on her face was very restrained.

Seeing this, Adele only felt that she was standing in the middle of the two people, like a bright light bulb. She smiled and saw the taxi parked by the roadside. She immediately had an idea.

“Emily, my stomach still hurts a little. I’ll go home first.”

“Assistant Johnson, I’ll have to trouble you to help me send Emily home,” she said as she looked at Ben.

Before they could react, she dragged her suitcase to the taxi and got in.

The moment the car door closed, Adele saw her friend’s slightly angry and delicate face. She turned her gaze to the other side, but there was a smile on Ben’s face.

She smiled and immediately ordered the driver to drive.

The two of them bickered in public and in secret. If she stayed, she would probably become a wicked person, right?

On the way back, Adele took out her phone and opened the lock screen. She saw two missed calls.

It was Damon.

She tightened her grip on her phone and was a little surprised.

From the time she and Damon had known each other until now, the number of times Damon had taken the initiative to call her could be counted on one hand, let alone two times at a time.

Could it be that something had happened?

Adele was a little uncertain. When the car arrived at the entrance of the community, she hesitated and picked up her phone to call.

The call went through, and after several rings, someone picked up.

“Hello?” Before she could speak, a gentle and pleasant female voice came from the other end.

Adele’s body froze, and her mind suddenly went blank.

Why was it picked up by a woman?

“Hello? Hello, are you looking for Damon?”

The woman on the other side saw that there was no reaction, so she asked another question.

This sentence allowed Adele to hear the voice clearly and recognize the owner of the voice.

Wasn’t it the female celebrity she met in the office that day, Isabella?

She was actually with Damon, and she was also in Thailand!

Adele didn’t have time to think too much and hurriedly said, “Sorry, I called the wrong number.” She hung up the phone without thinking.

The phone hung up. She held the phone and an indescribable feeling enveloped her heart.

Adele bit her lower lip and thought of what Damon had said to her. He said that the company sent a colleague to study on a business trip was just to cover his actions.

What action did he have? Could it be a private meeting with an actress?

Then what was the matter about her being kidnapped? Was it just an accident?

Perhaps, Damon had always been the fickle Damon. She could not change her mind just because he saved her.

Adele’s mind was suddenly in a mess. The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. In the end, he simply turned off his phone and pulled his suitcase back to his apartment.

At the same time, in the restaurant of the hotel, Damon walked to the dining table, untied his suit, sat down, and looked at Isabella opposite him. “My phone is ringing?”

Isabella’s beautiful eyes wandered. He glanced at the phone on the table and shrugged. “I picked it up. The call was wrong.”

Hearing this, Damon did not think much. But after pausing for a few seconds, a face suddenly flashed in his mind. His eyebrows tightened, and he paused for a moment. He still picked up his phone and found the address book.

Sure enough, it was a call from Adele.

He glanced at Isabella and said in a deep voice, “After eating, go to find Su Yucheng. He will tell you the specific task.”

After saying this, he did not say anything else and turned to leave.

When he reached the corridor outside, he took out his phone and dialed again. A mechanical female voice came from the other end, “The phone you dialed has been turned off. Please…”

His eyes darkened. Damon held the phone, feeling a little complicated. He paused and called Ben.

The phone was dialed, but for some reason, no one answered.

Damon frowned and a trace of displeasure appeared in his heart. He did not expect that the two of them would be so bold when they returned to the country. One turned off his phone and the other did not answer the phone. Was it intentional?

At this moment, Ben, who was sitting in the car, suddenly sneezed.

He rubbed his nose and looked at the woman beside him. Emily was leaning against the back of the seat and had fallen asleep.

Seeing the woman’s side profile, Ben unconsciously curled the corners of his lips.

Suddenly, the car braked, and the body of the car paused. Emily, who was asleep, tilted her body and leaned directly on his shoulder.

Ben turned his head slightly and found that the distance between the two of them suddenly shortened a lot. As long as he lowered his head, he would be able to touch her smooth forehead.

Ben curled his lips, and his always calm heart began to beat faster.

He… could it be that he had fallen in love with her?
