Chapter 69 The Luckiest Female
Adele couldn’t help but look up at Damon and Isabella as she let her imagination run wild.
The two of them found a place to sit down. Damon took the menu and handed it to Isabella considerately, asking her to order first.
Shirley continued to mutter to herself, “Looking at the situation, the relationship between the two of them is probably not ordinary. After all, we have never seen Mr. Yusuf treat any woman so well.”
Pa!
The fork in Adele’s hand suddenly fell on the plate, making a sharp sound and splashing the sauce everywhere.
Adele quickly took the napkin and began to wipe it in a hurry.
“Adele, what happened to you?” Shirley turned around and asked curiously.
“I’m fine. I accidentally dropped it. I’ll go to the bathroom to clean up first.”
Adele’s words flickered. She stood up, not daring to look at Shirley. She immediately turned around and walked in the direction of the bathroom.
Her heart was in a mess, and an inexplicable sense of loss enveloped her heart.
Although she and Damon did not have any relationship foundation, she was still his wife. Seeing him eat lunch with another woman naturally made her feel uncomfortable.
Adele stood in front of the mirror and washed her hands absent-mindedly.
“I bump into her no matter where I go. How unlucky!”
A sarcastic voice came from the side. Adele subconsciously turned her head and saw Sherry coming out of the cubicle.
It was really a narrow road for enemies.
Sherry walked to Adele’s side, turned on the tap, washed her hands unhurriedly, and said coldly, “If you want to be a home-wrecker, why don’t look at yourself in the mirror? Are you worth it?”
Hearing these harsh words, Adele frowned, reached out to close the tap, and said word by word, “It is not in your place to educate me.”
She was already in a bad mood, and now that Sherry wanted to step on her and crush her, she did not want to continue to swallow her anger.
When she said this, Sherry’s face became livid. She gritted her teeth and stared at Adele. In the end, she could not find a suitable word to refute. She reached out her hands and held them together. After taking the water from the tap, she splashed it on Adele’s face.
Caught off guard, Adele’s face turned cold, and she sucked in a cold breath. She never expected that Sherry would actually make a move!
“Sherry, don’t go too far…”
Before she could finish, Sherry took another handful of water and splashed it on her face. “How am I going too far? You deserve it!”
Adele was splashed with water again. Seeing that Sherry was about to pick up more water, she took a deep breath and pushed her hand away. She quickly turned and walked out of the bathroom.
Before the water on her hair and face could dry, she hurried away. Suddenly, a tall and familiar figure came from not far away.
Damon saw that Adele was stumbling forward with wet hair. His expression changed slightly and he called out, “Adele.”
When Adele heard this, her body froze. She looked up and saw Damon coming toward her. She was stunned for a moment, and then quickly ran away with her head lowered.
She didn’t want him to see her in such a sorry state.
Damon turned around and saw her quickly run away. He frowned slightly.
Why was Adele avoiding him? What was with the water on her face and hair?
He took out his phone and was about to call Adele when he inadvertently looked up and saw Sherry and Jane walking toward him.
The two of them greeted him one after another.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Hello, Mr. Yusuf.”
Damon nodded slightly and did not say anything.
After they left, Damon made a call and rang several times, but no one answered the phone.
He hung up the phone and frowned.
He could only wait until he met her to ask about it.
Adele ran out of the restaurant and went straight back to the hotel room. After sitting on the bed for a while, her heart slowly calmed down.
“Ding-”
The phone suddenly rang. Her body trembled and she looked nervously at the screen. When she saw that it was Shirley calling, she picked up the call.
“Hello? Adele, where are you?”
“I… I’m going back to the hotel. I’m not feeling well,” Adele said softly.
“What’s wrong? Do you need to call a doctor to take a look?”
“There’s no need. Maybe I didn’t sleep well yesterday and wasn’t in good spirits.” Adele casually made an excuse, not wanting Shirley to worry.
“Alright, then you have a good rest.”
Adele took a deep breath, “Shirley, can you help me tell Corine that I won’t be going to the afternoon activities. I want to have a good rest.”
“Okay, call me if you need anything.” Shirley agreed.
“Okay.”
Adele hung up the phone and lay on the bed. Her heart was a mess.
Although she was very angry with Sherry’s treatment, what made her even more uncomfortable was the scene of Damon and Isabella together. She felt strange in her heart and did not want to participate in the afternoon activities.
She closed the curtains and slept with her head down. She did not want to think too much about it. Unexpectedly, she had slept the entire afternoon.
When she woke up in a daze, the sky outside had completely darkened.
There was the sound of knocking on the door, accompanied by a few hurried calls from Shirley.
Adele quickly sat up, got out of bed, and went to open the door.
“What… what’s wrong?”
Seeing that she was safe and sound, Shirley let out a long sigh of relief, “I was scared to death! I called you but no one answered.”
Adele rubbed her eyes and smiled at her, “I was sleeping…”
“Hurry up and wash your face. Let’s go eat. Everyone will have dinner together tonight!” Shirley patted her shoulder.
Hearing her say this, Adele realized that it was getting late.
After casually tidying up and washing her face, Adele and Shirley went to the big private room.
It was a dinner party tonight, and the entire department was in a big private room.
Shirley pulled Adele to a corner and sat down. The dishes on the table were almost served.
Seeing that everyone was there, Ms. Blunt poured a cup of wine and stood up to signal to everyone, “Today is a rare occasion. Let’s take this opportunity to celebrate together. Cheers.”
Everyone stood up with a smile and raised their cups to toast.
Daniel also smiled and said, “Girls, don’t be reserved. This is the specially brewed fruit wine of the manor. It is sweet and delicious! Men drink spirits, and you girls can drink as you please!”
Everyone smiled and raised their cups together.
Adele looked at the bright liquid and took a sip. It was sour and sweet. It was really good to drink.
After sitting down, everyone began to eat and drink. No one knew who started it, but everyone had begun to toast one by one.
Adele was not interested in the games at these tables, so she focused on the delicious food in front of her.
Daniel suddenly called her name. “Adele, should you also propose a toast to everyone?”
“Me?” Adele was stunned.
“Yes! Today you are the luckiest female in our department. As soon as you came to the manor, you played games with Mr. Yusuf. You are the object of envy in the hearts of many young girls!”
When Daniel said this, a few booing voices sounded from the side, “Yes, yes! Hurry up and propose a toast!”
Adele took a deep breath, knowing that in this situation, she could not refuse.
At the mention of Damon, she thought of the scene of him having lunch with the female star, Isabella. The discomfort she felt in her heart was evoked again.
Adele gritted her teeth, stood up, picked up the wine bottle next to her, filled up the whole glass, and then picked up the glass to signal to everyone, “Okay, let me propose a toast to everyone!”
