Chapter 102 It Was Just a Chess Piece
Ms. Henderson looked at Adele, who was already drunk and unconscious, and immediately turned to let Damon in.
After putting Adele on the bed in the bedroom, Ms. Henderson pulled the quilt for her while looking at Damon and asking, “How… how can she drink so much!”
“There is a job bar where she drank some wine.” Damon paused and whispered.
When Ms. Henderson heard this, his face suddenly changed, “The bar? How can you let her accompany the wine?”
Damon frowned, and a dim light flashed in his eyes. He was silent and did not answer.
He had already expected that Frank would make things difficult for her. He had specially told her to call him if there was anything. However, she refused to listen. If he had not happened to meet her at the entrance of Jiangzhou International today, there might have been other accidents.
Seeing that he did not speak for a long time, Ms. Henderson’s face became more and more ugly. “I have always regarded you as my biological son-in-law. Now it seems that Adele is the right choice to divorce you! Go, I don’t want to see you again!”
Damon hesitated for a moment, bowed slightly to Ms. Henderson, and whispered, “Sorry to disturb you.”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the bedroom. He strode out of the bedroom.
He asked in his heart that after Adele married him, he did not fulfill his duty as a husband and did not protect her well. No matter what Ms. Henderson said, the responsibility was on him. He would not say anything.
After coming out of the community and getting in the car, Ben saw that Damon’s face was not very good. He quickly asked, “Mr. Yusuf, where are you going now?”
“To the hospital.” Damon came back to his senses and said in a low voice.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
In the past two days, he had racked his brains and finally found another kidney that matched Clara. After the two sides contacted each other, they would be preparing for the operation. Before the operation, in order to ensure that everything was normal, he would stay by Clara’s side every night.
He raised his hand and pressed between his eyebrows. A trace of tiredness appeared on Damon’s face. He inadvertently lowered his head and his gaze was suddenly attracted by a small puddle on his chest.
Just as he was puzzled, he suddenly thought of the scene of Adele lying in his arms just now. He immediately understood that it was the saliva she left behind.
For some reason, when he thought of the woman’s appearance just now, Damon suddenly felt that the tiredness dissipated a little, and the corners of his lips unconsciously curved.
What he owed Adele, he would compensate her sooner or later.
…
The next morning, when Adele woke up in the late morning, she only felt a splitting headache and her throat was dry to the point of smoking.
She sat up with difficulty, grabbed the half glass of water on the bedside table, and drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the glass, the memories in her mind slowly pieced together like fragments.
How did she come back yesterday? She really had no impression of it at all.
At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open. Ms. Henderson came in with a glass of warm water. Seeing her wake up, he hurriedly came forward and asked, “Adele, how are you?”
“I have a headache…” “Mom, how did I come back yesterday?” Adele took a deep breath and took the cup of warm water.
“Hurry up and get up. It’s getting late. I still have to go to work!” she said.
“Did I come back by myself yesterday?” Adele asked, frowning.
“Yesterday was… Damon who sent you back,” she said angrily.
“What?”
It was actually him? But why didn’t she have any impression of him?
“Forget it, forget it. If you can’t remember, then don’t think about it. Hurry up and wash up. We’ll have breakfast later!”
Ms. Henderson pushed Adele into the bathroom and did not continue asking.
After breakfast, Adele went directly to the company. As soon as he arrived at the department, a colleague informed him that there was a temporary department meeting.
The department meeting was different from the department meeting. It was a meeting held by the main staff of several departments in the company. Because Damon was not there, the meeting was hosted by Frank.
Adele took the meeting record book and followed the staff of the department to the meeting room. Just as he walked to the door, he saw Frank and a few subordinates walking towards him.
His sharp eyes swept across the crowd and finally locked onto Adele. He paused for half a second and raised his chin slightly in front of everyone. He said to Adele, “Come here.”
“Mr. Williams, what’s the matter?” Adele was stunned.
“Go and get me a cup of tea.”
After saying this, Frank walked straight into the conference room.
For a moment, Adele suddenly felt that everyone around her was looking at her. Her gaze and gaze were like thorns, making her feel uncomfortable from head to toe.
She was the assistant in charge of Administrative Department’s family. Now that the vice president of the company suddenly named her name and sent her to make tea in front of so many people, it would naturally arouse many people’s suspicions and suspicions.
Adele took a deep breath and did not care about so much. He casually handed the notebook in his hand to Shirley beside him. “Shirley, help me bring it in first. I will go in later.”
Shirley nodded, took the notebook and entered the conference room with his colleagues.
After making a cup of tea, Adele walked into the conference room with a cup of tea. He placed the cup in Frank’s hand and said softly, “Mr. Williams, this is the tea you want.”
“You sit next to me,” said Frank, nodding slightly.
“Mr. Williams, this is not appropriate,” said Adele, subconsciously refusing.
This kind of meeting was arranged according to the positions of the big and small ones. The position next to Frank was the position of the supervisor. How could she, a small supervisor assistant, cross the position and sit here?
“I said it is suitable,” said Frank in a cold voice.
His voice was neither loud nor soft, attracting the attention of the people around him. For a moment, Adele did not know what to do.
Last time, he asked her to work directly in his office. This time, he asked her to sit next to him in front of so many people. This would cause many people to suspect and misunderstand. In this way, whether it was for him or her, it would not have a good impact.
Was Frank doing this really like what Shirley said? Was he really interested in her? Or was he deliberately putting on a show for everyone to see and make her the target of public criticism?
No matter which answer it was, it made her tremble with fear and unable to adapt.
Biting her lip, Adele lowered her voice and continued, “Mr. Williams, if there is anything, just tell me directly. I promise to complete the task.”
Hearing this, Frank raised half of his eyebrows, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared in his eyes. He smiled coldly and said, “Last night, I don’t think you resisted me like this.”
When these words came out, Adele felt his ears explode, and his back couldn’t help but feel cold.
Some of the surrounding colleagues heard Frank’s words and looked at them with shock.
Frank was clearly deliberately making people misunderstand their relationship!
Adele clenched his fists, and his eyes slowly turned cold. “Mr. Williams, you can’t speak nonsense. Last night, you were drunk at the wine station. After I sent you to the car, I left. You are a noble and forgetful person, but I remember it clearly.”
There was an obvious trace of surprise in Frank’s eyes. It seemed that he did not expect that Adele would refute so firmly. He put on a fake smile and smiled. “It’s just a joke. Why did Ms. Wes take it seriously?”
Adele nodded at him and smiled. He did not say anything else. He turned and walked in the direction of Administrative Department’s door.
As he watched the woman leave, Frank’s gaze darkened, but he didn’t say anything.
Adele forced himself to take a deep breath and returned to his seat. Shirley, who was at the side, quickly came over to ask about the situation, “What’s going on?”
Adele took a deep breath and shook his head. He didn’t say anything, but she was very clear in her heart that Frank was definitely plotting something, and she was just a pawn of his.
