Chapter 162 Why Are You So Hungry?
Two days before she went to Thailand, Adele was busy. In addition to working during the day and returning to the apartment at night, she had to pack up her things.
In addition, she had to find time to go to the hospital to see Professor Wes and Ms. Henderson, the company, the hospital, and the apartment at three o’clock. She had not had a good rest at all.
The day before she left, all the preparations had been completed. Adele finally had some time to rest. Unexpectedly, she suddenly received a call from Ke Zhelin.
After Ke Zhelin was sent to the hospital last time, she specially called to ask about his injury. After knowing that there was nothing serious, she was a little relieved.
Now that Ke Zhelin was discharged from the hospital and asked her out for dinner, because of what happened last time at Zstan, she could not refuse directly. After thinking about it, she had to agree.
“Then tonight, I want to call Emily together. The three of us are old classmates, do you mind?”
As soon as he said this, the other side of the line obviously paused for half a second. Then, Ke Zhelin’s gentle voice came, “Sure, the more people, the more lively.”
Hearing him say this, Adele felt relieved in her heart. She chatted with him for a while and then hung up.
The reason why she called Emily was because she could imagine how awkward it would be for her and Ke Zhelin to eat alone. After thinking about it, she could only pull her up.
Adele took the phone and called Emily. After explaining the matter, Emily couldn’t help but laugh.
“Adele, Ke Zhelin invited you to dinner, and you called me. Aren’t you deliberately making me a third wheel?”
“I just thought it would be awkward for me to eat alone with him, so I called you.”
“I won’t go, I won’t go. I won’t be so insensible!” Emily said deliberately.
When Adele heard this, she pretended to be sad and persuaded, “Emily, just take it as helping me. If you don’t go, I will be embarrassed to death alone…”
No matter what, she and Ke Zhelin had not seen each other for several years. She did not dare to imagine the scene when the two suddenly ate alone…
When Emily heard this, she smiled mischievously and said, “I must go! I was just joking. How can I leave you at this critical moment?”
When Adele heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with her for a while before hanging up. She put down her phone and continued to work.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. Adele had originally agreed with Emily that she would come to the company to look for her, and then the two of them would go to the designated restaurant to meet Ke Zhelin.
However, just as she packed up her things and before she could leave the office, Ke Zhelin called her.
“Hello, Adele, are you off work? I have arrived at your company.”
Hearing Ke Zhelin say this, Adele was stunned. Obviously, she did not expect him to come directly to pick her up. After two seconds, she slowly responded, “I… got off work. Are you downstairs?”
Ke Zhelin’s voice was warm and pleasant, without any hint of urging, “Yes, at the door of Yusuf Group, I will wait for you to come down.”
Hearing him say this, Adele’s heart unconsciously became a bit anxious. She had just gotten off work when Ke Zhelin called, indicating that he must have arrived in advance and had been waiting for her.
Adele did not have time to think about it, so she had to immediately agree, “Okay, I will go down now.”
Hanging up the phone, she went downstairs with her things. As soon as she reached the door, she saw Ke Zhelin wearing a formal suit and holding a small bouquet of flowers in his hand.
Usually, when she saw this scene on the street, it was either a confession or a proposal, which made her suddenly nervous.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
Adele took a deep breath and a bad feeling arose in her heart. He was holding the bouquet of flowers, could it be that he was going to give it to her?
It was now the peak hour of work, and the employees of the company came and went. Maybe they would be seen by colleagues in the department.
But now that things had come to this point, she could only force herself to go up. She quickly stepped forward and softly called out, “Ke Zhelin.”
When Ke Zhelin heard this, he turned around and saw him. A smile immediately appeared on his face. He stepped forward and handed the flowers in his hand to her. “Adele, this is for you.”
Adele looked at the bouquet of flowers in his hand and still hesitated. He smiled and asked, “Why did you suddenly send me flowers?”
Ke Zhelin seemed to be a little embarrassed. He smiled and whispered, “When I came over, I saw that there were flowers sold on the roadside. I thought they were very beautiful, so I bought a bunch of them.”
Hearing him say this, Adele secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She reached out to take the bouquet and whispered, “Emily just told me that she was on the way. She should be arriving soon.”
Ke Zhelin nodded. “Okay, my car is down there. Let’s get in the car and wait for her first.”
Adele naturally agreed. She and Ke Zhelin stood here. She also held a bouquet of flowers in her hand. It was quite eye-catching. It was better to get in the car first to avoid being seen by colleagues in the department.
She took a step forward and followed Ke Zhelin down the steps. As soon as she reached the car, Ke Zhelin opened the door like a gentleman and invited her in.
Adele nodded at him and said softly, “Thank you.”
Just as she was about to get in the car, she suddenly felt a cold light coming from the side. She paused and subconsciously turned to look. Unexpectedly, she saw a black Maybach parked not far away. A man in a black suit was standing next to the car.
Adele’s heart subconsciously tightened. When she saw the coldness and gloomy expression in Damon’s eyes, she was inexplicably a little flustered.
How could she have expected that things would be so coincidental that she was hit by him when she was holding a bouquet of flowers in Ke Zhelin’s car.
On the other side, Damon still maintained that action. His dark eyes stared at her without moving, and his deep gaze was dark and unknown.
He was waiting to see if she would get on Ke Zhelin’s car.
Being stared at by him, Adele inexplicably panicked. He only felt that all his emotions had nowhere to hide. It was as if as long as she got on the car, she would do something to let him down.
Ke Zhelin, who was standing at the side, noticed the abnormality. He looked at Damon, then turned to look at Adele and whispered, “Adele…”
Adele came back to her senses. She thought about it again. She had nothing to do with Damon. Why should she care about his thoughts? Thinking of what he had done, she felt even more angry. She turned her head and smiled sweetly at Ke Zhelin. She got into the car without hesitation.
On the other side, Damon looked at the woman who had no scruples and suddenly felt a sense of irritability.
Was she so hungry and picky? Any man was willing to accept it!
“Mr. Yusuf, it’s time to go. We still have to catch the plane.” Ben noticed the abnormality and quickly came over to remind her.
Damon frowned and looked away. Without saying anything, she opened the door and got into the car. With a “bang”, she slammed the door shut.
Adele sat in the car and looked at the unhappy look on Damon’s face. She suddenly felt a sense of pleasure, but when she watched the Maybach drive away, her heart felt empty again.
Not long after, Emily came. The three of them went to the restaurant to eat together, but Adele just could not get interested. For the whole night, her mind was filled with the expression on Damon’s face before he got in the car.
At the dinner table, Emily finally could not bear to watch anymore and could not help but ask, “Adele, what’s wrong with you? Why do you look like you lost your soul?”
