Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

Looking at her blushing face, Damon suddenly found it interesting and wanted to tease her more.

He raised his eyebrows and asked again and again, “Really?”

“No, really no!” Adele was flustered and said affirmatively.

Seeing her like this, as if she was afraid that he would take advantage of her, Damon smiled slightly and slowly wiped the medicine on his finger. Then, he got up and left.

“Wait a minute!”

Adele suddenly thought of something and quickly called out to him.

She hadn’t had the time to ask him about Sherry.

Damon turned around and stared at her with a dark gaze.

“I heard that Sherry was punished and even went to the hospital. Did you do it?” Adele asked cautiously.

“It was me,” he said, his face turning serious.

“Was she really the one who caused my allergy?” she asked.

“She was also the one who took the photos.”

After learning the truth, Adele was surprised and puzzled. She murmured, “But I… have never offended her.”

She and Sherry had only met a few times. Although she knew that Sherry did not have a good impression of her, it was not to the point of framing her.

Looking at the woman’s expression, Damon paused and stepped forward. He stared at her and said, “This world has never been so simple. You must always be or stay on guard and protect yourself.”

Adele bit her lips and her mood became complicated.

Seeing that she did not speak for a long time, Damon said softly, “Alright, rest early.”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Suddenly, Adele reached out and grabbed his hand.

Feeling her hand on his palm, Damon was stunned. In his impression, this seemed to be the first time Adele took the initiative to pull his hand.

“Thank you, thank you for protecting me.” Adele took a deep breath and said solemnly.

She had never enjoyed the feeling of being protected. Before, it was Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes who protected her. But now, there was another person by her side who could protect her.

Damon lowered his eyes and saw the woman’s eyes. For some reason, his breathing suddenly felt a little stifled.

She seemed to have completely trusted him, but he was not completely sincere with her. Only he knew that he had other bad motives.

At that moment, he actually felt a little guilty from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at those eyes, Damon couldn’t bear it. He looked away and pulled his hand out of her hand. He said coldly, “Rest early.”

Before he finished speaking, he had already taken large strides and walked out.

Adele was completely unaware of the change in the man’s emotions. She smiled happily, but in her heart, she had never been satisfied.

Although today’s life was complicated, it was getting better.

After a good night’s sleep, Adele woke up the next day. The red rashes on her body had mostly disappeared. She stretched herself and looked at herself in the mirror. She was in a rare good mood.

When she arrived at the company, the department held a temporary meeting. After the supervisor, Corine, told her about the recent important things, she suddenly looked at Adele. “Adele, come and report the progress of your task.”

“Okay,” Adele replied with a smile.

She reported the latest situation regarding the gift box reservation and the other details. Corine listened, nodded, and said softly, “Give me the specific documents.”

Adele immediately handed over the document.

After flipping through the document, a satisfied smile appeared on Corine’s face. “Okay, according to the contract, the gift box can be transported to the company warehouse before the holidays.”

“Yes, I also discussed it with the assistant of Corecords Company. When the goods arrive, they will help send them into the warehouse, so we saved an additional transportation fee.”

“Well done.” Corine said, “All of you should learn from Adele’s working attitude and stopped gossiping.”

The expressions of the colleagues next to her were all different. Some who gossiped a few days ago turned red and had nothing to say.

Now, the news that Sherry had been punished by Damon to eat half a box of mango had already spread throughout the company. No one was going to gossip casually anymore, especially Adele’s gossip. After this incident, anyone could tell that her identity was not ordinary.

After the meeting ended, Adele walked out of the conference room. Several colleagues surrounded her and flattered her. “Ms. Wes, you are really amazing. You managed to settle the issue of the holiday gift box by yourself!”

“That’s right! Corine values you the most now! You have to take us with you too next time!”

“…”

Suddenly becoming the center of the crowd, Adele was a little uncomfortable. She smiled embarrassedly and shook her head. “I was just lucky. In the future, I have to learn more from everyone…”

Grace followed behind them, her gaze was cold, and she scoffed at those people.

Not long ago, each and every one of them had been surrounding her. Now the situation changed and they changed their mind too. What a fence-sitter!

She stared at Adele, and her disgust for her increased. Previously, she was only dissatisfied with her promotion. However, after this incident, she truly felt the threat that Adele posed to her.

If she did not stop Adele faster, she was afraid that her position in the Administrative Department would be unstable in the future. If Corine was promoted, then Adele would be the biggest competitor on her way to becoming the Supervisor!

The more Grace thought about it, the more disturbed she became. She clenched her fists and felt uneasy.

No, she could not just sit around and wait for death like this. She had to do something!

Adele had been pestered by her colleagues for a whole day. They followed her everywhere, like sticky candy that could not be thrown away. She was so scared that she did not dare to leave the office.

It was finally time to get off work in the afternoon. She was about to send a message to Damon to ask if he wanted to go home with her, but before she could send the message, Ms. Henderson called her.

“Hello? Mom?”

“Adele, are you off work? Come home for dinner.”

“It’s time to get off work. Why did you suddenly ask me to come home today…”

“Don’t ask so much. Just come back when I tell you to. Your dad and I have something serious to tell you.”

Adele was both helpless and amused. She thought about how she had not gone back to see the two of them for a few days and agreed. “Okay, I’ll go back.”

After hanging up the phone, she sent a text message to Damon and then directly went back home.

It happened to be rush hour, so it was already late when she arrived home.

When Adele entered the door and saw that the table was full of her favorite dishes, she was immediately overjoyed and reached out to grab a chicken wing to taste it first.

“Pam!”

“What are you doing? You’re already married, yet you’re still so childish. Go wash your hands.”

“Oh.”

After being lectured, Adele responded in a low muffled voice and turned to the kitchen to wash his hands.

After washing his hands, Professor Wes also put down the newspaper and sat down at the dining table. Ms. Henderson sat opposite him. Both of them were much more serious than usual.

Adele’s heart was beating fast. Did she make a mistake?

“Dad, Mom, you are…” she asked uneasily.
