Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

Adele knew in her heart that wherever she went now, everyone’s discussion would follow. She also did not want to implicate Shirley and cause her to be isolated by her colleagues.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She reached out and patted her shoulder, “I have my reasons. We will eat together after this matter is over.”

Hearing her say this, Shirley knew that it was inconvenient to ask more, so he could only nod hesitantly and agree.

When it was time to get off work at noon, the employees and colleagues of various departments went to eat. The staff canteen and company were the most crowded time. Adele deliberately avoided the meal time, thinking that he would wait for fewer people to go out.

After a while, hearing that the noise outside was a little softer, Adele got up and left the office.

Walking to the door of the company, she planned to go to a nearby store to pack a takeout and go back to the office to eat. It was convenient and fast, and she could avoid meeting her colleagues.

She went down the stairs and walked with her head down. She saw a pair of shiny leather shoes. Before she could react, a lazy male voice came from the top of her head, “I’ll wait for you at the door for half a day. If you don’t come down, I’m going to go up.”

Adele was stunned. When she looked up, she saw Kevin, who was smiling at her.

“You… Why are you here?”

The smile on Kevin’s lips deepened. He took a step forward and approached her. “Why can’t I come?”

“You…”

Adele faltered, unable to speak. She was just too surprised. After all, she had not seen him for a while.

Looking at the expression on Adele’s face, Kevin smiled even more. “Are you thinking about me day and night? Are you surprised to see me now?”

“No.” Adele glanced at him and stepped around him to walk away.

“Hey, where are you going?” “I’m here especially to find you!” Kevin hurriedly chased after her.

“What’s the matter?” Adele was not in the mood to joke with him at this time.

“I went on a trip recently and came to find you as soon as I came back. Is Ms. Wes not willing to give me the face to have a meal?” Kevin asked.

“I don’t have time,” Adele refused coldly.

She and Kevin were not from the same world at all, and there was no need to waste time with him.

Kevin walked in front of her, turned around and smiled at her as he retreated, “Aren’t you going to eat now?”

Adele was momentarily speechless, “I…”

“Since you want to eat, I want to eat too. Why don’t we eat together?” said Kevin, frowning.

“You can eat, but let me go first,” said Adele.

Although she had not known Kevin for a long time, she had already figured out his temperament. As long as it was something he had set his mind on, he would not easily change his mind.

Instead of arguing with him and wasting time, she might as well agree to it and end the meal quickly.

Seeing that she had agreed, Kevin did not say anything else and brought her to a nearby restaurant.

After taking a seat, the waiter brought over tea and menu. Kevin directly gestured for Adele to order.

Adele casually flipped through the menu, ordered two dishes, and handed the menu to Kevin.

For some reason, Kevin’s expression suddenly darkened. The unruly look on his face disappeared without a trace, and his pair of phoenix eyes lingered in Adele’s hands.

Adele did not notice. After handing over the menu, he picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

Kevin randomly ordered a few dishes and sent the waiter away. He immediately looked at Adele and wanted to say something, but he stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Adele looked at Kevin’s expression and could not help but be a little surprised.

Normally, Kevin would look carefree and unruly, but now that he was staring at her with a heavy gaze, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Adele took a deep breath.

“You divorced Damon?” Kevin frowned.

“How… did you know?” Adele’s hand that was holding the cup trembled.

“You don’t have a ring on your hand.” Kevin glanced at the woman’s fair hand.

When he pestered her in the past, Adele would always reveal the ring and say that she already had a husband. But today, not only did she not say that, even the ring on her hand had disappeared without a trace.

Adele lowered her head and glanced at her empty left hand. Her heart sank, and the corners of her lips curled into a bitter smile.

Last time, Damon had asked her to keep the ring so that it would be convenient for her to deal with her grandmother. She kept it, but she would not wear it on normal days. After all, every time she saw the ring on her hand, she would think of her hasty and laughable marriage.

“Are you really divorced?” asked Kevin, who was sitting across from her.

“Yes,” said Adele, looking down at her.

She had nothing to hide now.

Hearing this, Kevin clenched his fists and smashed them onto the table.

“Bang!” A loud noise caused everyone around to look over at them.

“This Damon! I must get even with him!” he said angrily, ignoring the gazes around him.

Adele looked at him in surprise. Why was Kevin angrier than her?

“… Why are you so angry?”

“I am angry that he is blind!” Kevin gritted his teeth and said.

Looking at how he was defending himself, Adele inexplicably wanted to laugh.

Coincidentally, the waiter came to serve the dishes. Kevin frowned and handed a pair of chopsticks to Adele. He said in a deep voice, “Eat, hurry up and eat. After eating, we will go to Damon to settle accounts!”

“Ah?” “Actually… I was the one who proposed the divorce.” Adele was confused and asked softly after hesitating.

“Did he bully you?” Kevin asked with a frown.

For a moment, Adele did not know how to respond. “… Not really…”

“If not, why would we divorce? Adele, do you think I’m a fool?” Kevin’s face was so cold that it could drip water.

Adele was speechless for a moment and could not say anything.

Didn’t he say that he wanted them to divorce last time? Why did his attitude change so quickly today?

Seeing Kevin’s angry look, Adele was angry and laughed. She slowly put down her chopsticks and asked, “Didn’t you say you wanted to chase me last time? Shouldn’t you be happy that I divorced Damon?”

Hearing this, Kevin snorted, raised his hand to button the table, and said in a low voice, “Eat.”

He did have a good impression of Adele. At first, he thought that she was different from other women, and inexplicably wanted to be close to her. During this period of time, he was on a business trip and thought of her from time to time, but it was not the kind of love between men and women, but out of another kind of emotion. He could not say it, and he could not say it clearly.

Adele smiled and did not continue to ask. He picked up the chopsticks and began to eat.

After dinner, outside the restaurant, Adele looked at Kevin and inexplicably felt that he was pleasing to the eye. “Kevin, I have to go back to work. You should go too.”

“I’ll go with you.” Kevin walked to her side and said in a serious tone.

Adele was stunned. Did he really want to go to the company with her?

She took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, “Kevin, I know that you regard me as a friend. I am very grateful for your concern, but the divorce is my private matter…”

“Who said that I have nothing else to do with Damon? Let’s go together.” Kevin raised his eyebrows.

As he spoke, he walked forward.

Looking at the man’s determined back, Adele sighed and shook his head helplessly.

Now, she only hoped that Damon was not at the company at this time. Otherwise, she could not guarantee that something would happen.
