Chapter 212 The Childish Way of Apologizing
Adele lowered her head and did not dare to look up again. She picked up the pen next to her and began to write and draw on the paper in a panic to cover up her confusion.
After a long while, Adele finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Damon assign work.
This meeting frightened her.
The meeting went on for more than half. Adele slowly relaxed and glanced at the sticky note next to her. She was a little bored and picked up the pen to draw a small cat with a simple pen.
It seemed that after looking around, she added another sentence with a pen, “Don’t be angry —”
This was a comic that she had accidentally seen on her phone yesterday. She found it interesting and copied it based on her memory. After drawing a few, she finally stopped.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
When she looked up again, the meeting had already come to an end.
“Collect all the work reports from the departments,” Damon instructed Ben.
Hearing this, Ben nodded.
Adele looked up and saw Ben walking towards her. She hurriedly closed the report and handed it over.
As if the meeting was about to end, everyone relaxed a little and also took this opportunity to talk in a low voice.
At this moment, Corine leaned closer and looked at Adele, saying in a low voice, “Your report today was good.”
When Adele heard this, he was a little embarrassed. He smiled and replied softly, “It was all Corine who taught me well.”
At the head of the conference table, Damon looked up and saw that Adele had a smile on his face. He could not help but frown.
Yesterday, she had hit him, but today, it was as if nothing had happened. She should talk and laugh.
He restrained the unhappiness in his eyes and reached out to take a stack of reports from Ben. He picked it up and flipped through it.
After listening to the reports from the various departments, he already had an idea. Now, he looked through it again to make sure that there were no omissions.
After flipping through several reports, he looked down and saw that the person in Administrative Department’s report was “Adele”. His eyes darkened, and he picked up the document to read.
As soon as he opened it, the first thing he saw was a sticky note, on which was a card kitten sketched with a black pen, and next to it was a sentence – “Don’t be angry —”
Damon’s dark eyes suddenly paused, and a few seconds later, he unconsciously frowned.
What was she doing?
Wasn’t it a little too childish to apologize to him in such a way? And what was with that obviously coquettish apology?
Two seconds later, he raised his hand and continued to flip through the documents. After flipping through them a few times, he put down the report.
He raised his eyes, his gaze heavy and cold as he swept his gaze over everyone.
After being looked at by him, everyone thought that something had happened and unconsciously became nervous, not even daring to breathe loudly.
“The reports from certain departments are really insincere.”
After saying this, Damon got up and walked out with a cold face.
Ben paused and immediately picked up the report on the table. He said “farewell” and quickly followed out.
Everyone in the room looked at each other.
No one expected that at the end of the meeting, Damon would suddenly lose his temper.
“What’s going on?”
“Who knows…”
“…”
All sorts of discussions mixed together, and the voices grew louder and louder. Adele was also a little stunned. He looked around, then looked at Corine and asked, “Corine, what’s wrong?”
“Maybe it’s because the reports from some department are not up to standard.” Corine shrugged.
Hearing this, Adele did not think much about it. He packed up his things and followed Corine back to Administrative Department.
“Mr. Yusuf, what’s wrong?”
Ben followed Damon back to the president’s office and asked tentatively.
Damon did not say anything. He looked up at the stack of reports he was holding and raised his chin slightly.
Ben immediately sent it over.
“You may leave.” Looking at the documents in front of him, Damon ordered coldly.
“Yes.”
After Ben left and the door closed, Damon picked up Adele’s report and opened it again.
The yellow sticky note was drawn by the kitten. It was ugly, cute, and a little silly.
It was really similar to her.
As this thought appeared in his mind, Damon unconsciously curled his lips. He casually tore off the sticky note and pasted it on the pen holder next to the computer.
For some reason, seeing this little cat, he really calmed down a bit.
After the busy day, Adele stood up and stretched.
After ending all the work at hand on Friday afternoon, it meant that she could live a comfortable weekend.
During this period of time, she was either working overtime or taking on projects. Like a snail, she kept turning the axles and rarely relaxed.
Tomorrow, she would go to the hospital to see Professor Wes and Ms. Henderson, and then contact Director Feng to discuss the specific operation time.
Although she had not collected enough surgery fees, her father’s operation could not be delayed any longer. She first set the operation time, and she would find a way to collect the rest of the money.
Returning to the apartment, Adele took a hot bath. Just as she came out of the bathroom with her head wiped, she saw the phone screen at the end of the bed flashing.
She walked over, picked up her phone, and saw that it was a call from her grandmother.
It had been a while since she last met Old Madame.
Was there something wrong with her suddenly calling her at this time?
Adele did not dare to delay and immediately answered the call. “Hello? Grandma?”
“Hey, Adele, it’s me. How have you been?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Adele smiled and asked, “It’s pretty good. Grandma, what about you?”
When she asked this, the other side suddenly paused. Grandma did not speak, but let out a long sigh.
“Grandma, what happened to you?” Adele asked hurriedly.
“I’m fine. I haven’t been in good health recently. The doctor has been taking care of me for a while, and I’ve just gotten better.”
“I should be much better now, right? I didn’t even know about this.” Adele was a little surprised.
“Sigh, I didn’t ask Damon to tell you. I’m much better now. I stayed in the sanatorium for a while and just came back. Adele, do you have time tomorrow? I want to go out for some fresh air and take a walk in the ecological park. Can you accompany me?” Damon asked.
Hearing Grandma say this, Adele bit her lip and hesitated.
She originally wanted to go to the hospital tomorrow to see Professor Wes and Ms. Henderson, but she could not bear to refuse her grandmother.
Seeing that she did not speak, the grandmother on the other side was sensitive to something and asked, “Adele, is it inconvenient for you?”
Adele came back to her senses and hesitated. Thinking of what happened yesterday, her heart sank again.
She beat Damon yesterday and owed him a lot. Now that her grandmother wanted to see her, how could she refuse?
Forget it, it was better to agree. It could be considered as returning the favor to Damon.
“Grandma, I am free. The weather seems to be quite good tomorrow. It is suitable for us to go out and play. Let’s arrange a time and place.”
When the grandmother heard Adele agree, she immediately smiled and said with a smile, “Okay, okay, okay. Then let’s meet at the gate of the ecological park at nine o’clock in the morning.”
“Okay.”
Adele hung up the phone, but his mood was a little complicated.
Originally, he had made up his mind to draw a clear line with Damon and Yusuf family, but now it seemed that it was difficult to do it.
This trip to Grandma was to make up for Damon.
