Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

Adele was stunned and hesitated.

She hadn’t thought about whether she should go back to work or not. Anyway, it was Damon’s company. If she went back, she would be embarrassed if she met him.

“I heard that you fell at home and were hospitalized. How is it now? Can you come to work?” Corine asked quickly.

“I’m almost healed, but…” Adele hesitated.

Before she could finish her sentence, Corine said, “Adele, if you can come, then come back tomorrow. Recently, the company has been too busy, and the department doesn’t have enough people. I am relieved that you can come back. It is almost the end of the second quarter of this year. If you can resume immediately, I can apply for a raise in salary for you.”

A raise in salary?

Adele’s eyes lit up.

There were two opportunities for a raise in salary every year in Yusuf Group. One was in the middle of the year, and the other was at the end of the year. Although she had not achieved much in the past two years, she had been quite conscientious in order to enrich her small funds. She had waited for this opportunity for six months, how could she miss it?

Moreover, if she left Yusuf Group, it would not be easy to get a job at this time. Moreover, Yusuf Group’s salary was already considered very good in the industry. If she left at this time, wouldn’t she suffer a big loss?

Biting her lips, Adele immediately threw away the little worries in her heart and said, “Corine, I can go to work tomorrow.”

Hearing her say this, Ms. Blunt breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay, I will see you tomorrow.”

Hanging up the phone, Adele took a deep breath and continued to walk home.

As soon as she got home, Ms. Henderson grabbed Adele’s hand and asked, “How was it? That young man is not bad, right?”

“He’s pretty good,” Adele answered casually.

Ms. Henderson could not help but ask, “What do you mean good? What did you two talk about? Tell me about it…”

“Mom, I want to be quiet for a while. I have to go to work tomorrow…” Adele said softly.

“Tomorrow?”

Upon hearing that Adele wanted to go back to work, Ms. Henderson became anxious again. “Are you sure you want to go back to work?”

Wouldn’t it be awkward for her to meet Damon?

Adele took a deep breath and said, “Mom, I’ve already thought it through. It’s fine. Besides, I’m in the Administrative Department. I won’t see him often.”

After saying this, Ms. Henderson nodded and said nothing more.

Adele kept comforting herself in her heart, but she never thought that on her first day of returning to the company to work, she would be arranged by Corine to help the people at the president’s office again.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Grace, Adele, there is a project in the department now. Everyone is busy. Today, the president’s office has to receive foreign guests, so the work of reception and assistance to the secretariat will be handed over to the two of you.”

On the first day of returning to work, Adele heard this task arrangement and could not help but feel a headache.

It would be inevitable to meet Damon if she went.

“Adele, what’s wrong?” Ms. Blunt raised her head and asked when she saw Adele in a daze.

“It’s… it’s nothing.” Adele took a deep breath and quickly said.

Since she had agreed to come back to work, she naturally couldn’t be too picky.

When Grace saw this, a trace of coldness flashed through her eyes. She smiled and asked, “Ms. Wes, could it be that you haven’t recovered from your injuries from the fall? With your mental state, will you really be able to receive the foreign guests properly?”

These words sounded like concern on the surface, but Adele was not a fool. She could hear the ridicule and sarcasm in her words.

“Don’t worry, Grace. After resting for so many days, I am full of energy and in a good condition.”

Hearing her words, the smile on Grace’s face froze. She looked away and did not say anything.

“Alright, get ready. You can go and help the secretary group now.” Corine cleared her throat.

Coming out of the manager’s office, the colleagues in the office saw Adele and could not help but look at her a few more times. After all, they had not seen her at work for a period of time. They all thought that she had resigned.

Shirley looked at Adele and smiled.

Adele smiled. Unconsciously, she was in a much better mood. She followed Grace and went directly to the large conference room to receive the important customers.

“These promotional pamphlets will be arranged like this.”

As soon as she arrived at the meeting room, Grace instantly handed her the lowest level task, while she went to the side to look through the information of the foreign guests.

Adele did not say much, took her things, and began to busy herself. After she arranged the tables for the meeting, she walked to the projection display table.

Grace seemed to be practicing something. Adele approached and heard a few basic questions in French. She raised her eyebrows and glanced at the name on the nameplate. Only then did she realize that the visiting company this time was a representative of a certain French company.

Grace suddenly turned to look at her and ordered coldly, “Go check the projection instrument and notebook. If there are no problems, go to the tea room.”

“What about you?” Adele took a deep breath and looked at her seriously.

If she had to do all the work, then what was Grace doing here?

Grace frowned. She did not expect Adele to question her like this. She gritted her teeth and could not say anything. She could only close the information in her hand and get up to walk to the projector.

When the meeting room was almost ready, the secretariat department rushed over.

Sherry and Jane walked in and did a check-up as usual.

When Sherry saw Adele, her face darkened. She looked at the conference table, then walked to the window sill and wiped it with her finger.

Seeing the thin layer of dust on her fingertips, she looked at Adele and said coldly, “This is the conference room you have arranged?”

Although she was saying this to Adele and Grace, her gaze had clearly indicated the target.

Adele glanced at the window sill and knew in her heart that the hygiene of the conference room should be handled by professional cleaning staff. Sherry was just using this as a pretext to make a fuss.

On her first day of returning to the company, she was too lazy to have so much entanglement with Sherry. She did not say much. She got up and went to the tea room next to her to get a rag and wiped the windowsill table again.

Seeing that Adele was so obedient without a word, Sherry’s eyes became a little proud.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing her for a while, this Adele actually learned a lot.

She raised her eyebrows proudly and looked at Jane, “Jane, it’s about time. We should go downstairs and wait.”

Jane nodded, glanced at Adele and Grace, and whispered, “The foreign guests will arrive in about fifteen minutes. You can go to the filing room and get the prepared plan.”

“Okay, Jane, leave this to me.” Grace smiled and agreed.

As soon as Jane and Sherry left, Grace turned to Adele and ordered, “Go to the filing room for the plan.”

“What about you?” Adele frowned and asked again when she heard that Grace had assigned her a task again.

She was not a fool and would not allow her to order her around like this again and again.
