Chapter 117 Can’t Bear to Leave Me?
Hearing this, Adele fell into deep thought.
She really wanted to prove her innocence. Now that Frank’s wife had caused such a ruckus in the company, everyone recognized her as a mistress. All sorts of gossip and gossip made her feel uncomfortable.
Moreover, she could not change jobs for a while now. Rather than being scolded by others, it was better to fight for her own name.
With both hands clenched together, Adele thought for a while and finally mustered the courage to meet Damon’s eyes. “What should I do?” she asked, her eyes locked on Damon.
Damon’s expression was cold, but her tone carried an unquestionable certainty.
After thinking for a moment, Adele bit her lips and slowly made up her mind. “Alright, I agree to cooperate with you.” She said softly.
After a pause, she raised her eyes and looked at Damon with clear and determined eyes. “But, I have another condition.”
A faint light flashed through Damon’s eyes. She seemed to be a little surprised. She paused for half a second and asked lightly, “What condition?”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Adele took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. “If I’m not wrong, the benefits of this matter will be much more than mine.”
Although she was not clear about the grievances between Damon and Frank, she could see that the two of them were like two tigers in a mountain. Fire and water were incompatible. One day, they would fight to the death.
Since Damon proposed to let her help him, it meant that he already had a plan and was determined to win. She helped him settle Frank, and he helped her prove her innocence. Although it was helping each other and taking what they needed, in comparison, wasn’t she losing a lot?
Damon raised his eyebrows slightly and pulled the corners of his lips. He was somewhat surprised.
He did not expect that Adele would be smarter than he had imagined and even have the guts to bargain with him.
After a short pause, he raised his lips and said softly, “What conditions? Tell me.”
“I want to resign.” Adele took a deep breath and summoned up her courage.
It was not easy for her to have a chance to bargain with Damon and negotiate conditions. How could she miss it?
Hearing this, Damon’s face turned a bit colder, and a trace of cold light appeared in his deep eyes.
Was she so eager to leave him
Seeing that the man did not reply for a long time, Adele was a little anxious, afraid that he would not agree, and asked repeatedly, “Can I?”
“It depends on your performance.” Damon frowned and said in a cold voice.
Hearing him say this, a hint of surprise appeared in Adele’s eyes.
As long as he agreed, then there was hope for her to leave the company.
Seeing the joy on the woman’s face, Damon’s face became even more ugly. He looked at her deeply and said coldly, “The first step you have to do now is to go back to the company to work and ignore those rumors and gossip.”
Adele bit her lips. Thinking of Frank, she quickly asked, “What about Frank?”
“Listen to his orders for the time being. Otherwise, it will arouse his suspicion. If there is anything you can’t handle, just tell me.”
At the thought of the last time when Frank asked her to accompany her to drink, Adele felt apprehensive, but for the sake of her innocence and her freedom in the future, she had to persevere this time.
She nodded and agreed, “Okay.”
“Hum -”
The phone that Damon had placed on the table suddenly rang. It was Ben. He casually pressed the answer button.
A few seconds later, he replied, “Okay, wait for me downstairs. I’ll go down now.”
After hanging up the phone, he stood up. “There are some things to deal with.”
As he spoke, he walked out.
“Didn’t you say that… there was no work in the morning?” Adele was a little confused.
Damon had just walked to the door when he heard her say this. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and immediately turned around to look at her. “What? You don’t want me to leave?” he asked.
Adele was stunned. He only reacted after two seconds. His face turned red and he hurriedly said, “No… no!”.
She had just said it casually. What was the meaning of that? Moreover, she had long wanted him to leave. He was the one who refused to leave.
Seeing the blush on the woman’s face, Damon curled his lips and deliberately teased, “If you don’t want me to leave, then I won’t leave.”.
“I… didn’t mean that!” Adele hurriedly denied.
As she spoke, she reached out and pushed Damon’s back, pushing him out of the door.
She closed the door. Her heart was still beating wildly. She leaned against the door for a long time before she slowly recovered. She raised her eyes and looked at the two empty bowls on the table. Her heart sank, and she was pulled back to reality.
In the end, it was impossible for her and Damon to be together. He had Clara, and the warmth he could give her was only for a moment. Just now, he had helped her change light bulbs and cooked noodles for her to eat. These were like fireworks blooming and short-lived.
Adele’s heart also cooled down, and her mind became much clearer.
She took a deep breath, slowly clenched her fists, and made up her mind. This time, as long as she helped Damon settle Frank, she would be free, leave Yusuf Group, and leave Damon.
Although it was good news, for some reason, she was not as happy as she had imagined.
Looking up at the room that had not been tidied up, Adele sighed, got up, and went to tidy up the room, no longer thinking about it.
The next morning, Adele went to the company early to report.
It had been a few days since the last time Madam Xu made a scene in the conference room. The heat of the matter was slowly shelved. However, when Adele went back, it seemed to recall everyone’s memories. Wherever she went, it would cause a heated discussion.
After the early meeting in the department, Adele got up and left the conference room. Every few steps she took, she heard a messy discussion behind her.
“I didn’t expect that Adele came back to work again. I thought she had resigned!”
“That’s right! I didn’t expect it either. It seems that some people are thick-skinned and have already risen to a high level!”
“…”
The fine sounds of discussion accompanied by laughter were not loud, but they had no intention of avoiding others.
Adele only felt as if there was a thorn in his back. He did not dare to look back, nor did he dare to stop. He could only bite the bullet and walk forward.
“Are you all done yet?”
At the side, Shirley finally couldn’t bear to watch any longer and couldn’t help but feel injustice for Adele.
“No matter what, it’s just something without any basis! Did you come to work just to gossip?”
With Shirley’s roar, the colleagues beside him all shut their mouths and had different expressions.
“It’s fine. Let’s go.” Adele hurriedly reached out and pulled Shirley.
At this time, even if she explained to them, they would not believe it.
“Adele, are you going to let them bully you like this?” Shirley frowned, not understanding why Adele was so weak.
No matter what, she was still an old employee who had worked in the company for two or three years. Now, she was still the supervisor and assistant. How could she let the ordinary employees gossip about her?
Adele frowned and pulled Shirley forward without saying anything. She only let go after they left the crowd.
“Adele, the more you do this, the more they bully you.” Shirley said bitterly.
“Shirley, don’t worry. I will find a way to prove my innocence, but now is not the time.” Adele bit her lips and said softly.
“Is there anything I can help you with?” Shirley asked.
“If you really want to help me, don’t eat with me at noon.” Adele smiled at her.
“Why?” Shirley was stunned and could not help but ask, “Why?”
Could he help her if he did not eat with her?
