Chapter 47 Eating a Box of Mangos
Adele was puzzled. She carefully recalled everything she had eaten and confirmed that she had not eaten any mango.
“What is wrong?” she asked, tilting her head.
While she was thinking, she unconsciously scratched her other arm.
When Damon saw it, he frowned and reached out to grab her hand.
People who were allergic should not scratch their skin. It would just make the itchiness worse.
Adele came back to her senses and saw that her hand was held in the man’s hand. She could not help but blush,”Oh.”
“I will investigate as to why you are allergic. Your current task is to have a good rest.” Damon instructed solemnly.
Adele nodded and looked up at the man. “Have you just returned home?” she asked carefully.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Yes,” Damon replied faintly.
“Will the rumors in the company affect you?” she asked hesitantly.
She was most worried about this matter. Now that Damon had returned, but the rumors in the company had not completely disappeared. She was afraid that it would have a bad impact on him.
Seeing that the woman was lying on the bed with an allergy and was still worried about his situation all the time, Damon’s heart suddenly softened a little.
Adele was worried and wanted to ask more questions, but before she could ask, Damon spoke first, “I will ask Ben to ask for leave for you. Rest well, we will talk about it again after you recover.”
“Okay.” Adele had to agree.
Damon let go of her hand and said in a softer voice, “I will go back to the company first and come to see you at night.”
Seeing that he was about to leave, Adele was a little disappointed in the bottom of her heart and could only nod.
Damon turned around, and just as he took a step forward, he felt the corner of his clothes tighten, and was suddenly pulled back by someone.
When he turned around, he saw that Adele was pulling on his clothes, her expression hesitant like she wanted to say something.
“What’s wrong?”
Adele took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to meet the man’s pitch-black eyes, and said softly, “Tonight… can we go home for dinner together?”
During the past few days when Damon was not around, she always felt that something was missing. Although there was Mary accompanying her at home, she still felt empty.
Damon looked at her and could not say a word of rejection. He paused and answered lightly, “Okay.”
Seeing him agree, Adele slowly released her hand.
Damon walked out of the ward and closed the door behind him.
“Mr. Yusuf, do you need someone to take care of Madam?” Ben asked.
“No need for now. Let her rest well. I’ll pick her up later.”
As he spoke, he strode forward. It was as if he had thought of something, his gaze suddenly turned cold. “Have you found out what I asked you to investigate?” he asked
“I found it. It was your secretary, Sherry from the president’s office.” Ben nodded.
Hearing the name, Damon frowned and said, “Let’s go back to the company.”
No matter what, Adele was his wife. If others wanted to bully her, they had to get through him first. However, he did not expect that the one who did that to Adele was his secretary!
It took less than half an hour to return to the company from the hospital. Damon returned to the office and looked at the surveillance video that Ben had taken out. His expression became colder.
After looking at the scene of Sherry mixing mango juice into Adele’s cup five times, he took a sip of coffee, and ordered Ben coldly, “Go and prepare something…”.
On the other side, Sherry, who was sitting in the secretary’s office, was unaware of the situation here. She was in a good mood, humming a song and using her lipstick.
There was more than one secretary in the president’s office, and the secretary’s office was also shared by two people. The other secretary, Jane, tidied up the documents in her hand, looked at Sherry, and asked with a smile, “What is it that makes you so happy?”.
Sherry looked at the mirror and said with a smile, “Watching the person I hate made a fool of herself made me feel so happy!”.
“Who is the person?” Jane asked curiously.
“I won’t tell you!” Sherry smiled, deliberately keeping her in suspense.
Hearing this, Jane did not continue to ask, but said lightly, “Mr. Yusuf just came back, did you know?”
“Mr. Yusuf is back?” Sherry paused and her eyes lit up.
Ever since she entered Yusuf Group, she had been working under Damon as his secretary and had long started to have a feeling for him, but due to their identities, she did not dare to express her feelings.
This time, Damon was on a business trip. Although she missed him, she did not dare to show it too clearly. She could only use work as a reason to send him a text message. Now that he was back, she naturally could not hold back anymore.
“Yes, Mr. Yusuf has been back for a long time, but he seems to be busy and has been in the office.” Jane said casually.
“I will go over and ask.” Sherry asked impatiently.
Before she could finish her sentence, the office door was suddenly pushed open. She looked at the door and was secretly shocked when she saw Damon standing there. Then, she stood up excitedly. “Mr. Yusuf, you’re back?” she asked.
There was no expression on Damon’s face. He walked toward her without hesitation, “Yes.”
Seeing this, Sherry was delighted and asked softly, “Is the business trip going well?”
“It went well.” Damon replied coldly. He walked directly to her desk and asked, “What about you? How was the work these past few days?”
This was the first time she had been asked this by Damon. She was a little flattered for a moment. “It’s… it’s pretty good.”
“That’s good. I came back this time and specially asked Ben to bring you a gift.”
“Gift?” Sherry was both surprised and excited.
Ever since she worked under him, although she worked as his secretary, the communication between the two of them was always only related to work. This time, Damon suddenly seemed to have become a different person. She was surprised.
Just as she was overwhelmed by this excitement, Damon suddenly clapped his hands.
Soon, Ben walked in with a big box and placed it on Sherry’s table.
Sherry looked at it carefully. There were two large mangoes printed on the brown cardboard box, and there were words next to it, “High-quality mangoes.”
Seeing this box of mangoes, she suddenly felt nervous. She looked at Damon in surprise, “Mr. Yusuf, these are…”
“These are all for you.” Damon raised his chin.
“This…” Sherry was puzzled.
Damon glanced at her coldly and did not speak. He turned to look at Ben.
Ben understood and walked forward. He handed the phone to Sherry.
Sherry saw that it was a surveillance video, the one where she poured mango juice into Adele’s glass!
She suddenly felt cold air brushing through, “Mr. Yusuf… I just wanted to remind her. Because of her, rumors about you spread all over the company. I can’t swallow this anger…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Damon interrupted her with a cold voice, “Eat all of this.”
Sherry followed Damon’s gaze and looked at the large box of mangos on the table. She could not help but shake her body. “Mr. Yusuf, I won’t dare next time…”
“Two choices, either leave or eat all of it,” Damon ordered.
