Chapter 163 Flying to Thailand
Hearing this, Adele came back to his senses and smiled apologetically at Emily and Ke Zhelin. “Sorry, maybe I was too tired from working today.”
“It’s fine, Adele. When the dishes are served, we will send you back after dinner. You have to catch a plane tomorrow morning and go back early to rest.”
“Alright,” Adele nodded.
Emily was not so easy to fool. She knew Adele so well that she could see that it was not because she was too tired at work, but because she had something on her mind. Taking advantage of the time when Ke Zhelin went to the bathroom, she could not help but ask, “Adele, what happened to you?”
“I’m fine.”
“Nothing?” Emily raised her eyebrows, looking as if she knew everything. “Just now at the dinner table, you were always distracted. Tell me honestly, are you thinking about a man?”
Hearing Emily say this, Adele couldn’t help but laugh out loud. But what she said was right. She always thought of Damon’s face that deserved a beating. She clearly resisted in her heart, but her brain seemed to be out of control.
“Emily, why do you think I always think of Damon?” Adele took a deep breath, bent slightly to approach Emily, and asked in a low voice, “Emily, why do you think I always think of Damon?”
When Emily heard this, his face immediately revealed a gossipy expression. He kept blinking at her. “Isn’t that obvious? You like him!”
“Nonsense!” Adele’s face instantly flushed red. He subconsciously denied, “How is that possible?”
“How is it impossible?” “Just think about it. Why don’t you think about Ke Zhelin or my brother tonight? Why is it that the person you are thinking of is Damon?” Emily said with a matter-of-fact look.
This sentence was like a basin of cold water, splashing Adele awake a bit, but also a bit rational.
After pausing for a few seconds, she firmly shook her head, “This is impossible. I hate him very much. Maybe I have been in too much contact with him recently.”
She would never consider a man like Damon who was obsessed with flowers. Moreover, she had such an unpleasant marriage experience with Damon. How could she like him?
After making up his mind, Adele promised Emily again, “I will never like him, really.”
Hearing this, the corners of Emily’s lips curved into a subtle smile, but his mouth followed her meaning. “Okay, okay, I believe that it’s best if you don’t like him. Otherwise, my brother will definitely be sad if he knows.”
Listening to Emily’s joke, Adele smiled. Seeing Ke Zhelin walking over, he did not say anything more.
After dinner, Ke Zhelin took the initiative to ask them to send them home. Along the way, Emily seemed to be trying to ease the atmosphere and kept talking.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
When they arrived at the gate of Adele’s community, she asked them to stop. After saying goodbye to them, she pushed the door and got out of the car.
Just as she was about to close the door, Ke Zhelin suddenly called out to her, “Adele.”
When Adele heard this, she turned to look at him and asked softly, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
Ke Zhelin wanted to say something but hesitated. He seemed to have a lot to say to her, but since Emily was still sitting in the car, he paused and pointed to the bouquet in the passenger seat. “You forgot to take the flowers.”
Adele looked over and saw the lonely bouquet placed there. She immediately felt a little embarrassed. She quickly went forward and picked up the bouquet. She smiled apologetically at him. “Sorry, I didn’t see it just now.”
Ke Zhelin looked at Adele and said softly, “It’s fine. Go back and rest early.”
Adele nodded at him and then waved to Emily. Then she turned and walked into the community.
Just as she entered the community gate, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Emily. “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Ke Zhelin is really infatuated.”
Then the phone vibrated again. It was an emoticon sent by her.
Adele looked at the two messages and could almost imagine the tone of Emily when he said this.
She curled her lips and did not reply.
She knew very well that she had no feelings for Ke Zhelin. This had nothing to do with time. It had been like this two years ago, and now it was even more so.
For her, it was better to focus on the relationship between men and women now than to think about work. Moreover, her father still had an operation. She had to be prepared.
After making up her mind, Adele quickened her pace and went back to the apartment to check the things she had packed up again. She prepared for the flight early the next morning and climbed into bed early.
The next morning, before Adele’s alarm clock rang, she woke up first. After everything was ready, she pulled her luggage out and went straight to the airport.
After more than four hours, the plane arrived at the Bangkok Airport.
As the people who set off together got off the plane, Adele felt a clear heat wave attack. She arrived at the hall on the shuttle bus, and she was already sweating all over.
Fortunately, the representative from the other company came to pick them up. The group smoothly sat on the car that had been arranged in advance and headed directly to the hotel that had been booked.
When they arrived at the hotel and checked in, Sister Luo arranged a room. Everyone was in a single large bed room. The conditions were quite good. Everyone was very excited and kept chattering.
“Adele, hurry up and keep up. Our rooms are just opposite the door!”
Xiao Liu from the marketing department warmly held her hand and went straight to the elevator.
After getting into the elevator, someone immediately asked, “Sister Luo, what are our plans for this afternoon and evening?”
“Everyone, rest in the afternoon. At night, the other company will come to treat us to dinner together. There is no need to wear special clothes. Gather in the 7pm hall at night.”
“Okay!”
“Ah Ming, do you want to go shopping together this afternoon?”
“Okay, Zhenzhen, are you going?”
“…”
When everyone heard that they were going to rest in the afternoon, they began to plan their plans excitedly. Adele looked at the happy crowd and also smiled.
“Adele, are you going?” Xiao Liu turned to look at Adele and asked.
“I won’t go. I want to take a rest.” Adele shook her head and said lightly.
After returning to the room, it was finally a little quiet. Adele first went to take a shower, then closed the curtains and began to sleep. When she woke up, it was six o’clock. She packed up and went to the hall to gather.
The dinner at night was for the reception of the other company. Because they were all people from Z Country, there was no obstruction in their communication. The atmosphere was pleasant. After more than an hour, it ended.
When they came out of the restaurant, everyone was in groups of two or three. They moved freely. Xiao Liu pulled Adele and asked, “Adele, are you going back to the hotel?”
Adele smiled at her and whispered, “You go back first. I’ll buy a phone card.”
Although she had only been in Thailand for a few days, she still missed Professor Wes and Ms. Henderson and wanted to talk to them.
After separating from Xiao Liu, Adele found a store on the map that sold phone cards and flagged down a taxi, asking the driver to take her there.
It took less than half an hour to come and go.
The car stopped at the entrance of the hotel. Before getting off, Adele asked for the fare, “Sir, how much is it?”
The driver of the taxi knew a bit of Chinese and pointed at her. “Four hundred Thai baht.”
When Adele heard this, she was a little stunned.
Four hundred Thai bahns, almost a hundred yuan. This time and again, it was all the short-drive roads in the city. How could she use so much?
Moreover, she did not bring much Thai bahns with her. She had spent a portion of the money on the phone card just now, and now there were less than two hundred.
Could it be that the driver saw that she was Chinese and deliberately raised the price for her?
