Chapter 94 Why Not Be My Sister-In-Law
Because of her surprise, her voice unconsciously rose a little. The end of her voice was sharp and thin, with an indescribable ambiguous tone.
The two of them paused, and the moment their eyes met, the air seemed to be filled with awkwardness.
Damon glanced at her coldly and said indifferently, “What do you think I want to do?”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and placed Adele’s calf on his leg. Then, he unhurriedly pulled open the drawer of the coffee table and took out the spray from it.
Adele blushed, ashamed and embarrassed. She thought he was going to do something else to her…
Damon slowly opened the lid, aimed at Adele’s red knee, and directly pressed the spray head.
“Sizzle–” With a sound, the cool liquid sprayed out. Adele only felt a chill on her knees, and her calves involuntarily shrank, and her little face wrinkled.
Although there was no skin injury, it was still a little painful when the medicinal liquid was sprayed on it.
Damon glanced at Adele, picked up the cotton swab, and wiped the liquid that flowed down. He said with a cold face, “Serves you right.”
The medicine had clearly been sent to her, and if she didn’t deal with it herself, she indeed deserved the pain.
“What… did you say?” Adele was stunned.
Did she hear it wrong?
Damon turned a deaf ear to her. He picked up the bottle and sprayed it on the wound two more times. Then, he released her ankle.
“Alright, don’t expose it to water for the next few days. Remember to spray the medicine.” He said coldly as he packed up his things.
Adele looked up and happened to see the man’s perfect profile. His tall nose bridge was as sharp as a knife. His lips were pursed into a faint line. He was so cold that it made people subconsciously feel a little wary just by looking at him.
If Damon were to change into a white coat at this time, he would definitely be an extremely eye-catching doctor of abstinence.
This thought quickly flashed through her mind, and Adele’s cheeks unconsciously turned red.
Seeing that the woman beside him had not moved for a long time, Damon turned his head and met the woman’s gaze. He could not help but frown.
“Don’t think too much.” He got up gracefully and glanced at her coldly. “This time, I’m doing this because you applied medicine to me last time. If there’s nothing else, you can leave.”
As he spoke, he walked away and sat down at his desk, continuing to flip through the documents in his hands.
Adele snapped back to her senses. Her cheeks were burning as if she was trying to hide her little thoughts. “Who’s thinking too much?” she said angrily.
As she spoke, she got up and walked towards the door.
Just as she reached the door, the man’s stiff voice came from behind her.
Adele turned around and saw him throw the meeting record to the table. “Take it back and hand it over after it has been perfected.”
She was stunned. She thought that she had remembered the meeting records very well. She didn’t expect that it still had problems.
She didn’t dare to say anything. She took the record and immediately ran out of the conference room.
No matter how she thought about it, she felt that Damon was taking revenge on her. Unconsciously, she was a little angry.
Forget it. Fortunately, she had already divorced him. Otherwise, she really could not imagine how she would face such a troublesome iceberg poker face in the future.
When she returned to the office, she was busy all afternoon. Unknowingly, time flew by. By the time Adele was done with her work, it was not long before she got off work.
The phone on the table suddenly rang. Adele picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She hesitantly pressed the answer button.
“Adele!” Emily’s energetic voice came into her ears, making Adele quiver and immediately take the phone away.
“We will meet soon! I will return to River City in two days!”
Hearing the voice from the phone, Adele knew that Emily was in a good mood. She couldn’t help but smile. “Then I will pick you up. What time is the flight?”
“I will send you the boarding pass later. Come with my brother!”
Adele paused and was a little surprised. “How did you know…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Emily seemed to have guessed what she wanted to ask, “My brother told me! By the way, my brother met you on a blind date as soon as he came back. You are destined!”
When she thought that the blind date partner was her good friend’s brother, Adele was still a little embarrassed. “Yes…”
Emily chuckled and teased, “Adele, why don’t you become my sister-in-law? When you join my family, the two of us will be a legitimate family!”
“Emily, don’t talk nonsense… We haven’t even started dating!”
She and Owen were just like friends now, and they had no intention of developing further.
“You have, haven’t you?” Emily chuckled.
Adele might not be clear. As a younger sister, how could she not understand the thoughts of her older brother? A few years ago, when Owen saw the photo of Adele and her, his gaze was different from looking at other girls.
She had also asked him bluntly, but her older brother, that old sly fellow, did not say anything. She could only give up.
“Emily! If you keep talking nonsense, I’ll deal with you when you come back!” Adele was angry and laughing.
“Alright, alright, I surrender. Don’t forget, you must pick me up when the time comes!” Emily said with a smile.
“Alright, don’t worry,” Adele said with a smile.
The two of them chatted for a while more before hanging up.
Looking at the time, it was almost time to get off work. Adele packed up the important documents and directly sent them to the archive room.
Two female colleagues from other departments walked in front, holding documents in their hands. It seemed that they were also going to the archive room too. As they walked, they said, “Have you heard that Vice President Williams will come back from the branch company tomorrow?”
“Vice President Williams? Are you talking about the one who was messed up by our Mr. Yusuf?”
“Yes, who else could it be other than him?”
“Then he definitely won’t let it go. I feel that the company will be in chaos soon.”
“…”
The two of them muttered. Adele followed behind them and heard a lot. She couldn’t help but be suspicious.
Who was Vice President Williams? She had been in the company for two years and had never heard of this person.
What kind of grudge did Vice President Williams and Damon have? They made it sound so mysterious and complicated.
Without much time to think, she had already walked to the door of the archives room. She handed over the files and went straight back to the office.
After dinner, Ms. Henderson insisted on taking her out for a walk.
“Adele, go out for a walk with me! Don’t stay at home all the time!”
“Mom, you can go by yourself.” Adele frowned.
She had already knew what her mom was up to. When she got home that evening, she had heard her mom call Ms. Baker who was next door. After dinner, the two of them would lure their daughter and son out and ‘bump into each other’ in the community…
Now that she knew about her “conspiracy”, she obviously wouldn’t cooperate with her to do such an embarrassing thing.
Ms. Henderson had tried to persuade Adele at the door of the bedroom for more than ten minutes, and she could only give up and go out alone.
Not long after, her phone rang.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
She glanced at the screen and saw that it was a call from Mary. She hesitantly picked up the phone.
“Hello, Mary?”
“Madam…” Mary suddenly realized something and quickly changed her words. “Miss Wes, I’ve packed your luggage. If you have time, come over and get it.”
Adele glanced at the clock. It was only eight o’clock. She immediately stood up and said, “Okay, I’ll be on my way now.”
When she got there, she could, without extra effort, return both the wedding ring and the keys to him.
