Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

Adele’s body stiffened. She only felt a chill crawl up her back and spread to her limbs and bones.

If he really had any intentions toward her, what should she do?

A week was neither long nor short. How should she deal with Frank?

“Adele? What’s wrong with you?” Shirley asked hurriedly when she saw that Adele was stunned and did not respond for a long time.

She snapped back to her senses and took a deep breath. “… What’s with Vice President Williams?” she asked.

“I heard that he was entangled with his secretary and even had an affair with a few interns. In short, his private life is in chaos! You are so good-looking, so you must be carful around him!” Shirley said in a low voice.

Adele nodded. Her chest seemed to be pressed against a big stone, and she could not breathe.

Now she finally understood why Grace had taken the initiative to give this opportunity to her.

But now, no matter what she said, it was too late. Even if she had to bite the bullet, she had to continue doing it.

In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Adele focused her attention on ensuring efficiency. She had just finished arranging all the documents.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She got up and handed the documents to Frank’s desk. “Mr. Williams, these are the important documents you wanted…”

Frank didn’t even raise his head as he responded. He casually flipped through the contract documents in his hand, stood up, and coldly ordered, “In a little while, follow me to a gathering and meet a few important figures in the HX Project.”

The HX Project was the first project that Frank took over after he was transferred back to the company. It was mainly to work with a newly-rising technology company to develop intelligent products. It could be considered one of the most valued projects in the Yusuf Group recently.

Seeing Frank’s serious expression, Adele secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately prepared the things.

As she followed Frank to Hotel River, she thought of what had happened here before and felt a little scared. She gritted her teeth and forced down the discomfort, following Frank into it.

Last time, she had been plotted against by Jacquelin and Michelle and almost got into an accident. Since then, River City International had been a terrible symbol to her.

In the lift, she watched the number slowly rise. Recalling what had happened before, she could not help but turn pale.

Frank, who was standing in front, turned his head slightly and instructed in a deep voice, “When we get to the place, don’t be too inflexible, understand?”

Adele took a deep breath, clenched her fists, and agreed, “Mr. Williams, I understand.”

As Frank entered the private unit, he pushed open the door and saw that there were about five or six people on the large round table, all of them were men.

Everyone laughed and greeted him as soon as they saw Frank.

“Frank, we’ve been waiting for you. You are late. You will have to punish yourself with three glasses of wine later.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Since Mr. Henderson has spoken, I have nothing to say. I will definitely drink these three glasses!”

Frank laughed and did not refuse. He picked up the wine bottle on the table and poured a glass of white wine. He raised his head and drank three glasses in a row. He laughed with the same expression as before.

Everyone jeered. Someone noticed Adele behind Frank and said, “Frank, you are not sensible. You’ve punished yourself with three glasses. Why don’t your assistant drink three glasses too?”

As soon as the person said this, everyone turned to look at Adele.

The room was originally full of men. Her red lips and white teeth made it hard for people to look away. It made everyone want to tease her even more.

Adele stood in place and did not dare to say anything when she heard that.

Frank turned his head and glanced at her. He paused for two seconds and said in a low voice, “What should you do? Don’t you know the rules?”

Adele was stunned and her face turned cold.

What did Frank mean by this? Had he brought her here to drink with others?

“Mr. Williams…” Adele bit her lips.

“Don’t say so much useless things. Come and drink!”

As Frank spoke, he waved his hand and gestured for the waiter beside him to pour wine.

The waiter picked up the wine and three small wine glasses and filled them up one by one, bringing them in front of Adele.

Looking at the three glasses of wine in front of her and then looking up at the people in the unit, Adele knew in her heart that she had to drink.

She gritted her teeth and forced out a smile, “Bosses, I’m sorry. I don’t drink. But since the wine has been poured, I won’t decline these three cups.”

When she said this, the men in the room all agreed and waited with interest to see her drink.

Adele took a deep breath, picked up the wine glass, braced herself, and drank it. The spicy liquid poured into her throat, and the hot feeling slid into her stomach.

After drinking the first cup, someone in the room booed, and someone laughed. Adele trembled, picked up the second cup, and continued to drink.

After drinking three glasses of wine in a row, Adele first felt cold and uncomfortable in her stomach, and soon, it burned.

Seeing her drink it, Frank did not say anything more and sat down to chat and drink with the bosses.

After a while, the alcohol came up, and Adele felt hot and uncomfortable all over, and even her breathing was a little rushed.

She did not normally drink, and now that she had drunk three glasses of high-concentration white wine all at once, she naturally could not hold on.

“I wonder if Mr. Williams can make the decision about the HX Project now. If it is possible, we are happy to know more about the details.”

Hearing the other party’s manager say this, Frank smiled, but his smile did not reach his eyes. He asked, “Currently, I am in charge of this project. If I can’t make the decision, who can? Damon?”

The atmosphere suddenly became colder. At the table, they exchanged glances, and awkward coughs sounded one after another.

Seeing this, Frank turned to look at Adele. The smile in his eyes was a little cold, a little cautious, “Go and toast to Mr. Henderson.”

“Mr. Williams, I just said that I don’t drink…” Adele frowned slightly and whispered.

“You could drink the three glasses just now, but can’t you drink one more glass?” Frank asked with a gloomy face.

The atmosphere in the room became colder when he said this. Adele bit her lips, picked up a glass of wine, walked to Mr. Henderson, and took a deep breath. “Mr. Henderson, this glass of wine is for you.”

Not long after, Adele had toasted several more glasses of wine. Her stomach was burning hot, and she was so dizzy that she couldn’t stand steadily.

Fortunately, the drinking game was over, otherwise, she would really be drunk without any sense of reason.

Frank also drank a lot, his steps were a little disordered, and he almost fell down several times.

Adele took a deep breath, followed him out of the hotel, and reminded him softly, “Mr. Williams, be careful.”

The car was parked under the steps of the hotel gate. Frank stumbled, and Adele was frightened. She hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

With this support, Frank’s body leaned toward her. Adele’s feet softened, and she almost lost her balance.

Beside them, in a car parked by the roadside, Sherry was sitting in the car. She aimed the camera through the window and kept pressing the shutter.

After taking a few photos in a row, she casually took out the photos and looked at them. She could not help but smile.

This time, with the help of Grace, she could not believe that she had Adele!
