Chapter 271 To Make Her Feel Guilty
Adele looked up and happened to meet Clara’s eyes.
The two of them did not speak and exchanged glances. It seemed that they had already seen through each other’s hearts.
Adele took the lead to withdraw her gaze and recalled what had happened last night. She could not help but feel a headache.
Last night, she was in a daze and had a fever. She did not expect that Damon would look for her, and she did not expect that he would stay to take care of her for the entire night.
A man and a woman alone in a room. Even if she had a mouth full, she probably wouldn’t be able to explain it clearly. Adele knew in his heart that at this time, although Clara didn’t say anything, in his heart, he was sure that there was something between her and Damon.
Xuanxuan couldn’t help but mutter from the side. Clara frowned and seemed to be a little angry. He turned his head and said coldly, “Alright, Xuanxuan, don’t say anymore!”
When these words came out, Xuanxuan closed her mouth.
Adele took a deep breath and looked at the scene in front of him. Her two hands were tightly intertwined, and she was at a loss.
But even if she couldn’t explain it clearly, she had to forcefully explain it at this time.
She gritted her teeth, looked up at Clara, and said firmly, “Miss Moore, last night, Mr. Yusuf really went to find me. It was because I was sick and had a high fever. No one could ask me for help, so I called him and asked him to bring me fever medicine.”
“Later, I didn’t go back to the fever. Mr. Yusuf was afraid that something would happen to me, so he stayed.” “I can promise you that I didn’t do anything. I forgot Mr. Yusuf’s identity and ignored the relationship between you and Mr. Yusuf. I’m sorry.” Adele took a deep breath.
At this time, she could only try her best to take the blame on herself. Otherwise, Damon and Clara had a conflict because of her, and the matter of the marriage of the Ye family’s Yusuf family was something that she, a small company employee, could not bear.
At this moment, Clara’s voice came, “It doesn’t matter. I believe in Damon. I am going to be engaged to him. He will not do anything to let me down.”
Adele’s heart trembled, and his palms were sweating.
Then, Clara continued, “Moreover, Adele, I regard you as a good friend. I know that you will not do it.”
“Miss Moore, I will keep my distance from Mr. Yusuf. Don’t worry.” Adele looked into her eyes and nodded.
Hearing this, Clara smiled and reached out to cover the back of her hand. “Thank you.” She said softly.
After chatting for a while, Adele used the company as an excuse to say goodbye to Clara and left the coffee shop.
As soon as Adele left, Clara’s face darkened. She stared at the slender figure outside the window and a dark light flashed in her eyes.
Xuanxuan heaved a sigh of relief and asked, “How was it, Clara? How was my acting just now?”
“With your acting skills, you can even win an award.” Clara turned around and smiled.
“But Clara, I still don’t understand. What’s the use of acting in front of this woman?”
“As long as she has a point in her heart, she won’t have any close contact with Damon anymore. Moreover, after this incident, she must be very guilty towards me. When the time comes, it will be much easier to pinch her.” Clara snorted coldly.
She knew Adele’s personality. As long as she trusted her, everything would be fine after that. Wouldn’t it be up to her to decide?
Sure enough, for the whole afternoon, Adele was immersed in her guilt for Clara. She did not expect that Clara would be so generous. If it was her, her fiance lived in another woman’s house for a night, she would definitely not be able to accept it, right?
She sighed and only came back to her senses when she heard the knock on the door.
“Secretary Ruan, there is a document that needs Mr. Yusuf to sign.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Adele took it and looked at it, then nodded, “I will go find Mr. Yusuf to sign it later. You go ahead and do your work first. I will inform you to come and get it after signing it.”
“Okay.”
Adele screened all the documents he needed Damon to pass through. He got up and went to the office. He knocked on the door and heard a response from inside. Then she pushed the door open and went in.
She walked forward and put the documents on the table. “Mr. Yusuf, these are all documents for signing. Please look over them.”
Hearing this, Damon casually picked them up and looked through them one by one. His expression was focused. His eyes swept over the contents of the documents and he picked up a pen to make several marks.
Soon, two documents were signed, and there was another document that needed to be amended.
Adele took the document and was about to leave, but he was stopped by someone.
Damon straightened his back and leaned back. He casually covered the pen cap with his hand, and his indifferent gaze swept over her.
Adele was a little nervous, and his heart unconsciously accelerated.
Damon stopped her, not saying anything. This was the most painful moment.
Just as Adele could not help but speak, the man’s cold voice came, “There is a dinner party tonight, you will accompany me.”
“I…”
Adele frowned and resisted in her heart.
At the thought of what happened at noon today, she did not know whether she should agree or not. If she agreed, and Clara knew, wouldn’t she be slapping herself in the face? If she did not agree, it could also be considered a part of her work.
Sensing her hesitation, Damon frowned and looked up at her. “What’s wrong? Is it inconvenient?”
“I want to go back to rest early today, and I have injuries on my head. I’m afraid it’s not suitable.” Adele took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.
Hearing this, Damon’s eyes paused for a moment. He glanced at the woman’s forehead and said lightly, “Yes, I understand.”
“Thank you, Mr. Yusuf,” Adele said happily.
After that, she stepped out of the office.
A trace of astonishment flashed across Damon’s face, and he unconsciously frowned. If he had not seen wrongly just now, there was clearly a look of joy on Adele’s face.
Could it be that she was so unwilling to go with him to socialize, or rather, she was so unwilling to be transferred to his side to be his secretary?
The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, until Ben knocked on the door.
“Mr. Yusuf, the proposal for Tai Xing’s collaboration has been drafted.”
As Ben spoke, he handed over the document in his hand.
When he heard that it was a collaboration with Tai Xing, the gloom on Damon’s face disappeared. His face became more serious, and he took the proposal and began to read it.
This cooperation with Tai Xing Group was a big project, involved in the investment of seven hundred million yuan. As early as a week ago, the news had been frequently spamming this cooperation with Tai Xing, and everyone in River City’s business circle knew it.
This project was also one of the biggest projects in the next half year of Yusuf Group, and Damon naturally paid attention to it.
Opening it, Damon frowned, “The later part of the planning needs to be revised.”
“Yes.”
Seeing that Ben was about to leave, Damon called out to him, “By the way, what has Ye Group been doing recently?”.
“The people over there have sent news that Ye Group is planning to hold a press conference.”.
Damon nodded slightly and said lightly, “Yes, I understand.”.
Sure enough, Ye Fengpeng followed the way he said.
In fact, speaking of which, public apology was not the only way, and Yusuf Group was not incapable of helping him. In the end, he just was not willing to help him.
He was more willing to watch Ye Group go to ruin bit by bit from the perspective of a bystander.
