Chapter 92 The Common Enemy
Adele immediately turned her head to avoid his gaze, but she felt a little guilty.
Could it be that she had been discovered when she peeked at him?
She bit her lips, forcing herself to focus and continue to focus on recording the meeting.
Damon caught a trace of panic on the woman’s face, and his gaze finally fell on the tips of her red ears. A few seconds later, his lips curled up lightly.
Finally, the meeting was over. Both sides were happy. The negotiation was over and it was almost time for dinner. The representatives on both sides naturally had to eat together.
After everyone left, Adele followed the secretaries out of the meeting room. She looked at the people walking away and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It was really a big challenge in the meeting room just now, but fortunately, nothing went wrong.
After walking a few steps, Adele saw Grace who was walking in front of her, and suddenly remembered the matter of her falling down in the meeting room.
At that time, although she was in a hurry and did not pay attention to her feet, there were no obstacles at all on the ground. She still remembered that when she came in with the documents, Grace was diagonally behind her.
If Grace had taken advantage of the fact that no one was seated at the scene and had secretly tripped her, it was very likely.
After all, she was the only one beside her at that time.
“Grace, wait a minute.” Adele took a deep breath and stopped her.
“What’s the matter?” Grace asked coldly.
“If I remember correctly, you were right beside me when I fell down just now…” Adele said coldly.
“Do you think I tripped you? Ms. Wes, don’t slander me.” Before she could finish, Grace interrupted her.
“I haven’t said anything yet. I just wanted to ask you why you didn’t help me. I didn’t expect you to say that. Did you really trip me?” Adele said coldly.
“Don’t talk nonsense!” Grace said, her face turning pale.
“You know best whether I am talking nonsense or not. I’ll let this slide this time. But if this happens again, I will not let it go.”
Previously, she had always been tolerant. She always felt that it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. But now, it seemed that sometimes, showing weakness would not only not gain sympathy, but the other party would keep pushing their luck. Her wandering heart slowly hardened.
Without waiting for Grace to say anything, Adele took a step forward and walked straight ahead.
Looking at her back as she left, the coldness in Grace’s eyes became more and more obvious.
Just now, it was indeed her who had tripped her. She just wanted Adele to make a fool of herself in front of everyone. Unexpectedly, after being away for a while, Adele had become much more unyielding than before!
Grace became angrier and angrier. Before, she had never regarded Adele as an opponent, but now, she could no longer take it lightly!
“Grace, I didn’t expect that you would be defeated.” Suddenly, a soft laugh came from the side.
Grace turned around and saw Sherry coming from the side. Her face turned cold. “Ms. Turkle is not much better.”
She had also heard about the grievances between Sherry and Adele.
Hearing her say this, Sherry was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said, “Grace, have you ever heard of a saying that people who have a common enemy are friends? Do you think we are friends now?”
Because of Adele, she had suffered so many punishments. She would settle the debt sooner or later.
Grace’s expression changed slightly. She looked at Sherry, and after a moment, she slowly said, “Of course we are.”
After rushing back to the Administrative Department, Adele felt that her throat was dry. When she returned to the office and saw the ointment and spray on the table, she was stunned for a few seconds.
Who put these things here? It was clear that she hadn’t come with any this morning.
Adele lowered her head and looked at her swollen knees. She was even more puzzled.
Suddenly, the man’s cold face flashed through her mind.
Could it be Damon?
How could he care about her?
Adele shook her head and threw these thoughts to the back of her mind. No matter who sent it, she had to get a cup of water to drink first.
She went to the tea area to get a cup of warm water and drank half of it in one go.
When Shirley saw that she was in the tea area, she immediately brought a cup over.
“Adele, I heard that you went to receive the foreign guests?”
Adele nodded and said softly, “Yes, just to arrange things. It’s quite tiring.”
“Is that so?” Shirley blinked and asked nosily, “I’m quite curious if that French representative is handsome or not. How is he compared to our Mr. Yusuf?”
“If you want to see him, you can run to the door now. Maybe you can still see his face.” Adele could not help but laugh.
“Forget it, forget it! I’m too lazy to go.” Shirley curled her lips. She suddenly thought of something and said, “By the way, I saw Mr. Yusuf’s subordinate, Assistant Johnson, come over just now. He entered your office and quickly left.”
“Ben? What was he doing here?”
After hesitating for a moment, Adele thought of the medicine on the table and suddenly realized.
Could it be that it was Damon’s order?
Why was he suddenly so concerned about her?
Before Adele could figure it out, Shirley saw that Grace had returned, and her expression suddenly changed. “Let’s not chat anymore. Otherwise, Grace will scold me again.”
As she spoke, she jogged back to the workstation.
Adele glanced at Grace and returned to her office with a cup.
Just as she sat down, she received a message from her phone.
She opened it and saw that it was a message from Owen.
“I’m doing business in the city center at noon. It’s very close to your company. Is it convenient for us to have a meal together?”
After she met with Owen yesterday, the two of them exchanged contact information and added WeChat. As soon as she got home, she had received his message. He said goodnight to her in the evening and reminded her to eat breakfast in the morning. There was not much information, but it was just right. It gave her a warm feeling like a spring breeze.
Adele glanced at the time. There were still five minutes before she got off work. She hesitated for a moment before agreeing and sending a message back to Owen.
“Okay.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you downstairs at your company. See you later.”
He was already downstairs?
Adele was shocked and immediately packed up her things. When it was time to get off work, she quickly took the lift and left.
She and Owen had just met. If she was seen by her colleagues, she could not avoid gossip. She might as well go down quickly to avoid embarrassment.
When the lift reached the first floor, she trotted out of the hall. As soon as she went out, she saw a tall and big figure standing not far away.
When Owen saw her, he curled his lips and waved at her. His smile was as gentle as ever.
Adele also smiled at him and stepped forward.
On the other side, under the steps, in the black Maybach, Damon was flipping the tablet.
“Did you send the medicine?” he asked lightly.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“Yes, I did.”
“En, let’s go.” As he spoke, he put down the tablet and casually raised his eyes. When his gaze swept past the window, it suddenly focused and his expression suddenly sank.
Adele was actually with a man!
