Chapter 51 Go to receive Mr. Harry
Professor Wes lowered his voice, “Adele, I discussed it with your mother. I think there are some things we need to tell you.”
“Mom, what’s wrong?”
The two elders looked so serious that it was scary.
“Eat first, don’t worry,” Ms. Henderson said, handing Adele a pair of chopsticks.
Adele hesitantly took the chopsticks, still feeling uneasy.
“How have you been with Yus for the past few days?” Ms. Henderson finally asked again.
“Not bad…” Adele swallowed her saliva.
“Then, have you guys agreed on when to hold the wedding?” Ms. Henderson looked up at her.
“A wedding?” Adele was shocked.
She seemed to have never talked to Damon about this matter. Ever since they moved together, they had been living a normal life like an old couple.
“Yes, I only have you as my daughter. I don’t ask for anything else, I just want to see you married! Don’t tell me that you never thought about this at all!”
Sure enough, Ms. Henderson’s words hit the mark, and Adele did not know how to respond. “I…”
“Look at your daughter, she’s in a daze and doesn’t care about anything!”
“Adele, your mother is right. We don’t ask for anything else, but since you and Damon have gotten the certificate, we still have to hold the ceremony.” Professor Wes took a sip of wine and looked up at Adele.
Listening to them talking one after another, Adele was a little confused. Damon never mentioned this matter, so she naturally did not think about it.
Seeing that Adele did not speak, Professor Wes continued, “Mom and Dad can only see that you are doing better. After the ceremony, you can be considered to have entered the Yusuf family. It doesn’t need to be too big, just to inform the relatives of both sides, live up the atmosphere.”
Adele took a deep breath and said softly, “Dad, I understand. I will talk to Damon.”Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
How could she not understand her parents ‘good intentions? After all, she was still afraid that she would be bullied when she entered the Yusuf family.
Moreover, she also hoped to hold a wedding that really belonged to her. After all, it was only once in her life.
After dinner, Adele came out of the house and walked out of the community. She seriously thought about what her parents had just said and secretly made up her mind.
When she returned home and met Damon, she would discuss this matter with him!
When she arrived, she saw the car parked in the parking lot. She knew that Damon had already returned. She entered the room and asked Mary, “Mary, where is Damon?”
“Young Master should be in the study room. Go take a look.”
“Okay.”
Adele went up to the second floor, walked to the door of the study, and gently knocked on the door. “Damon?”
There was no sound in the study, and no one answered.
Adele slowly pushed open the door and carefully walked in. She looked around but did not see the man.
The computer on the table was still on. Where did he go?
Adele was about to turn around and leave. Just as she walked to the door, a phone rang behind her.
She hesitated for a moment, then walked to the desk and picked up the phone.
There was a name on the screen – Clara.
It was this name again!
Adele’s heart tightened. Just as she was hesitating whether to answer it, a low male voice suddenly came from behind her. “What are you doing!”
She turned around in panic. Before she could react, Damon had already walked forward and reached out to take away the phone in her hand.
Damon glanced at the phone screen and frowned even more. Even the veins on his forehead bulged. “Didn’t I tell you not to come in casually?”
Being scolded by him in anger, Adele’s body trembled unconsciously. “I…”
“Get out!”
The explanation that was about to come out of her mouth was immediately blocked by these two words. Adele looked at the angry man, and her heart ached. She quickly walked out of the study.
The last time he was so angry, it was also because she entered the study and touched his things. This time was also the same. Both times, it was related to “Clara”. Who was this Clara? What was the relationship between her and Damon!
“Bang.”
Adele turned around and looked at the tightly closed door. A wave of bitterness emerged in her heart.
She returned to her room in disappointment. She was still thinking about this matter in her mind and couldn’t sleep. She did not know how long it took before she fell asleep.
The next day, Adele went to work with dark circles under her eyes. She was dispirited and depressed.
Not long after, Grace came over and threw a pile of documents and forms at her. “Give me a summary of the attendance of the departments from last month. I want it done tomorrow.”
Adele casually flipped through the documents and called out to Grace, “Isn’t this the work of the department’s employees?”
When she was a clerk in the department, she had to do this kind of work. Now that she was an administrative assistant, why should she do it?
“Aren’t you an employee of the department?” Grace narrowed her eyes and said grumpily, “We don’t have enough staff. You do it first. If there are other tasks, I will give them to you again.”
After that, she walked out.
Adele looked at the documents in front of her and sighed. She had to start to work.
After working the entire morning, Adele sat in front of the table and did not even have time to drink water. In the afternoon, she was about to print out some of the documents that she had tidied. Just as she arrived at the printing area, Shirley walked over. “Adele, Grace is looking for you.”
After she was done with her work, she went straight to Grace’s office.
“Mr. Harry of the Wind Group will come over later. You go and receive him.”
“I go to receive them?” Adele asked hesitantly.
“Mr. Yusuf has an important meeting to attend. He is not in the company right now. You are responsible for receiving Mr. Harry and waiting for Mr. Yusuf to arrive,” Grace said without raising her head.
When Adele thought of Damon’s attitude last night, her heart felt like it was blocked, and she felt uncomfortable.
“Shouldn’t this be the work of the secretarial group? When did it become our Administrative Department’s work?”
Grace said coldly, “Why don’t you think about how many people are still in the secretary’s group? Sherry is still in the hospital. Jane still has other work to do. Those inexperienced secretaries are not qualified to receive Mr. Harry. It’s natural they would want one from Administrative Department to go.”
Hearing her say this, Adele had nothing to say and had to agree.
She prepared in a hurry and went downstairs to wait. Not long after, she saw an extended Lincoln car drive over. The door opened and a young man in a white suit got out of the car.
He had long and narrow eyes, a tall nose, and a smile on his lips. He also had delicate and flawless skin. He looked so perfect.
Adele was stunned. Before she could react, the man had already looked at her.
The man’s gaze paused on her for a moment, then he smiled and walked towards her. “You are the Ms. Wes who received me?”
“Yes.” Adele came back to her senses and hurriedly replied.
Needless to say, this should be the Mr. Harry of the Wind Group, Kevin Harry.
“Mr. Harry, please follow me to the living room first. Mr. Yusuf still has some matters to attend to and might need some time first.”
“Oh, is that so?” Cheng Zixiao chuckled, “I’m not afraid of waiting. I’m just afraid of being bored. As long as Ms. Wes is with me, I have no objections.”
Hearing him say this, Adele felt that it was a little strange. No matter how she heard it, it felt a little ambiguous.
