Please Let Me Go

Chapter 157 Disputes among Best Friends Were Settled Soon

After they got everything done hurriedly, Hanna changed into the clothes Adelaide had prepared for

her. Then, lying on the bed, they looked at each other and laughed.

Adelaide took Hanna's hand first with a guilty expression. She dropped her eyes and whispered, "I'm

sorry, Hanna. I shouldn't have said those words to you that day!"

Hanna was used to being unconcerned and therefore not accustomed to receive apologies from other

people, especially Adelaide. Hearing it gave her goose bumps. She pretended to be angry and

unwilling to forgive her, shook off her hand and turned her head to the other side, asking awkwardly,

"Why didn't you come to find me then?"

Ah. It wasn't that Adelaide was unwilling to find Hanna. Obviously, she felt guilty and did not dare to find

her. Afraid that Hanna would not forgive her, Adelaide lifted the thin quilt and moved closer to Hanna.

She held Hanna into her arms from her back and said apologetically, "I want to find you, but I'm too

embarrassed to go."

Hearing this, Hanna turned around and knocked lightly on her forehead with her index finger to punish

her, "Forget it. I've also hit you today. I'll take it as a punishment for your wronging me that day." After a

pause, she changed her expression, looked at Adelaide with serious expression and said, "But you

mustn't wrong me in the future! You mustn't say that I like your Antonio. I don't like that megalomaniac

at all!"

Megalomaniac?

Adelaide couldn't help laughing when she remembered what Antonio was like when he raised his head

and looked down on the people around him without any expression on his handsome face.

Then she nodded solemnly and swore to herself that she would never say those stupid words in the

future.

This was the case with best friends. They always quarreled over trivial matters, but there would always

be one person who bowed to the other one first. Then, they would chat with each other without reserve,

just like before. They would also talk about what they thought and what they wanted to do after they

quarreled and ignored each other.

They fell asleep when they hugged each other. The first thing Antonio did after he went home was to

come to Adelaide's room to see if she was still there. He didn't have the habit of knocking on the door

before entering into a room, especially when the room was Adelaide's.

He opened the door as he used to and saw them hugging each other with a very indecent sleeping

posture. He was shocked. Before he lost his mind in anger, he walked into the room and found that the

person with a very poor sleeping posture was actually Hanna.

Even he himself didn't understand why he was much relieved when he saw the person lying there

clearly.

The air-conditioner was set to 15 degrees Celsius, but the quilt was kicked to the corner. He helplessly

walked over to cover them with the quilt and tucked Adelaide in. Adelaide was smiling. Maybe she was

having a sweet dream. Antonio couldn't help putting his hand on her lips. Her lips were soft and he

could feel her warm breath.

Seeing this, Antonio also calmed down and smiled like she did. His heart suddenly missed a beat.

Adelaide had been rarely seen being quiet and smiling, or Antonio rarely saw her in such status.

Since the day he was asked out by Clarissa and said those words that he shouldn't have said, they

were always cold to each other and at daggers drawn. Antonio couldn't help being attracted by her

softness and gently touched her nose. Adelaide, who was asleep, felt uncomfortable, turned over and

murmured, "Hanna, stop!"

Antonio smiled, got up and quietly left, casually closing the door for them.

Time passed quickly. Soon, a month had passed.

Antonio and Adelaide hardly quarreled any more, but it could be seen that their relationship was

stretched to the breaking point. Every time they were in the same room, the atmosphere was frozen.

They were just like two strangers.

Even Damla felt the subtle atmosphere between them. In the past, she would hum songs when she

worked, but she was also afraid and not in the mood to sing in such a depressing atmosphere.

Before, Antonio asked the General Manager of the cosmetics department to check whether there was

any problem with the last batch of cosmetics, and the final result was that there was no problem with

the last batch of cosmetics.

This conclusion was confirmed as cosmetics were recalled emergently. Antonio asked the staff to take

random samples of this batch of cosmetics for inspection. The result was that all the samples were

qualified.

This meant that those women didn't have skin problems because of the use of cosmetics of the Baron

Group. Or, only the products they had used had quality problems.

Antonio was much relieved. It would be easier to solve the problem if there was nothing wrong with

their products.

Sales of the cosmetics of the Baron Group began to be up for the first time as Antonio released strong

evidence to the public.

There was a sign that the stock price of the Baron Group would also rise. Everything was developing

on the right track. The only thing that made the management of the Baron Group feel uncomfortable

was the huge amount of money spent on recalling the cosmetics.

Antonio didn't feel uncomfortable about it. As a genius who had done business for many years, he

understood that there must be losses if there were gains.

And he knew what to give up at what time. In the chess game, people sacrificed the knight to save the

queen. For Antonio, the Baron Group was the queen while the money was the knight.

That night, Antonio drove to a unimpressive restaurant alone because he had an appointment for

dinner at 7 p.m.

At 6:45 p.m., Antonio entered the restaurant and took a seat in a corner near the window.

It wasn't until 7:15 p.m. that a woman wearing a coat appeared in front of Antonio and sat down.

"You are late." Antonio looked at her coat, and couldn't help finding it funny for her to be dressed like

that.

"You should be glad that I come." That woman obviously didn't feel sorry for being late.

But when she looked at Antonio, her face still blushed. Not that she thought she was wrong. She just Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

dared not look straightly at Antonio's handsome face.

"The red spots on your face haven't disappeared yet?" While talking, Antonio waved his hands. A

waiter came to them after seeing the greeting of Antonio.

"It couldn't be cured in a short time." The woman was obviously embarrassed by her appearance.

"By the way, there's no need to order food. Let's get down to business. I'm in a hurry because I've got

an eleven o'clock flight."

Hearing this, Antonio didn't say anything, but waved again and motioned for the waiter to leave.

The waiter twitched his mouth and looked at Antonio and the woman with disdain, turning around to

leave. As he walked, he thought: it was really difficult to understand. They came to the restaurant, but

they didn't order anything, just taking up seats. I thought they were rich because of their clothes. Maybe

they were wearing fake and shoddy ones. Oh, yes, how could they eat in such a small restaurant if they

were really rich?
