Fatal Love:CEO, please let me go

Chapter 177 To Burn Bridges After Crossing Rivers, to Be Ungrateful



Adele rested at home for two days. Time passed by in a flash.

Because she was more or less injured, and the business trip time she told Professor Wes about was four days, she did not dare to visit him at the hospital, so she stayed in the small apartment for two days.

When she returned to work at the company, the news that she ended her business trip early because of physical reasons had already spread in the department. Corine did not ask anymore, and did not even ask her for the business trip report.

It was as if the two days she went to Thailand were like a dream, passing by without leaving any traces.

Adele picked up the cup and went to the tea area to fetch water. Shirley came over and touched her arm. “Adele, don’t be too uncomfortable. This matter can’t be blamed on you.” She said softly.

“Shirley, what are you talking about?” Adele was confused. She did not understand what she was saying at all.

Shirley, who was asked, was also confused. She paused for two seconds and asked, “Aren’t you sad?”

“What are you sad about?”

Shirley said softly, “I heard everyone say that you wasted your opportunity when you went out to study because you were unwell…”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Hearing her say this, not only did Adele not feel uncomfortable, but he also wanted to laugh.

When did she say that she was uncomfortable? She really did not know how some of the colleagues in the department who gossiped about it added oil to the fire and spread the news.

“Don’t worry!” Adele curled his lips and smiled at Shirley, “There is no such thing. Although we missed it this time, it will be better to fight for other opportunities next time.”

Just as she finished speaking, she picked up her teacup and was about to turn around to leave when she turned her head and saw Grace standing not far behind her.

There was a hint of ridicule in Grace’s eyes. He had clearly heard what she had just said.

“Adele, I’m afraid you have forgotten a fact. The opportunity is not exclusive to you alone. This time, because of you, the entire Administrative Department has missed the opportunity to study. You are still so calm to say that there will be a chance next time. Where do you get the confidence?”

There was a thorn in her words. It was obvious that she had deliberately come to find fault. Adele took a deep breath and did not want to be entangled with her so much. He only said lightly, “The opportunity is for everyone. This time, it is indeed because of me that everyone lost the opportunity to study. But it does not mean that I do not even have the confidence to fight for the opportunity.”

After saying that, she took a step forward and was about to leave. When she passed by Grace, she was suddenly hit by a force. With a shake of her hand, the hot water in the cup spilled out and scattered all over the ground.

Adele frowned and turned to look at Grace, who was at the side. Her heart was burning with anger. “Grace, what are you doing?”

It was obvious that she did not care about the opinions of others at all in front of so many colleagues.

“Adele, I just want to give you a piece of advice. If you don’t have this ability, don’t be delusional. Otherwise, you will drag the whole team down. In the end, everyone will only blame you.”

After saying this, Grace turned around and left arrogantly.

Adele took a deep breath and turned to look at the colleagues in the office who were watching the fun. Her heart felt like it was stuck in a big stone.

No one stood up to speak for her.

It was clear that the last time she went to the Ministry of Finance to report the payment, many people changed their views on her, but now, when it came to matters that did not affect their own interests, everyone was still so cold.

Adele bit her lips and did not say anything else. She went to get a mop and cleaned up the ground. Then she picked up the cup and left.

Since no one was on her side, she would still stick to her heart and would not back down when she tried to fight for it.

Not long after she returned to the office, Shirley sent a document. “Adele, this is a document to be sent to the president’s office.”

“Okay, I’ll check it out. There are no mistakes. I’ll send it later.”

“Then I’ll leave it to you.”

After Shirley left, Adele looked at the documents on the table and hesitated.

She had just come back to work today. In addition to the two days of rest at home, it had been two or three days since she came back from Thailand. She wondered if Damon had returned to China.

After she called Damon, the two of them had not contacted each other. Now she was going to deliver the documents and it was best not to meet him.

However, things would not go as she wished. After she finished checking the documents and arrived at the president’s office, she saw Damon and Ben rushing over from the direction of the conference room.

She subconsciously felt a little nervous and tightened her grip on the documents. She braced herself and continued walking forward. She wanted to hand the documents directly to Jane and leave.

However, just as she walked to the door of the secretary office, Ben’s voice came from behind her.

“Ms. Wes, Mr. Yusuf wants you to come to the office.”

When Adele heard this, he gritted his teeth and took a deep breath. Only then did he pretend to be calm as he turned around and nodded. “Okay.”

Following them into the office, Ben did not stay for long. After putting down the things in his hands, he turned around and left with a meaningful look. He even helped them close the office door.

“This is a document that needs you to pass the purpose.” Adele lowered his head slightly and said in a business-like tone.

As she spoke, she walked forward and put down the document.

Damon sat on the chair and looked at the woman’s cold expression.

He couldn’t help but frown.

It had only been a few days since they last met, but she had become so distant.

A trace of emotion flashed past his eyes. Damon leaned back and leaned back in the chair. “Are you feeling better?” he asked indifferently.

In the face of the man’s sudden greeting, Adele hesitated for a moment and said, “Alright.”

After saying these two words, she paused and said, “If there is nothing else, I will go to work first.”

Now that she saw Damon, she would think of the phone call that Isabella had picked up. She always felt strange in her heart.

Seeing her turn to leave, a trace of displeasure appeared on Damon’s face, and he called her coldly, “Who let you go?”

After not seeing her for a few days, she had become so cold. She probably did not remember the scene of her shrinking into his arms and begging for warmth a few days ago.

He had never met such a heartless woman before.

“Is there anything else, Mr. Yusuf?” Adele took a deep breath and turned around to ask.

“The number you want.” Damon took out a business card from the drawer and said coldly, “The number you want.”

When Adele heard this, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes. He took a deep breath and stepped forward.

Last time when Damon was in Thailand, she promised to give her Director Feng’s contact information. Originally, she asked Ben to send it to her, but she did not receive it in the past few days.

Seeing the business card on the table, Adele was a little excited and whispered, “Thank you.”

As she said this, she reached out to take the business card.

But before she picked it up, the other end of the business card was pressed down by a long hand with distinct knuckles.

Adele looked up and met Damon’s bottomless eyes. Her heart sank.

She was slightly startled and hesitated. “You…”

The man narrowed his eyes, as if he wanted to see through her.

“Adele, I can’t feel your sincerity,” he said indifferently.

Only when he mentioned the business card did she change a little, and the rest of the time she was cold to him.

She was so ungrateful as to destroy the bridge after crossing the river?
