Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

Damon’s hand that was holding the invitation paused. “Okay, I will go.”

Seeing that he wanted to say something but hesitated, Adele almost instantly understood. He was going to participate in the event, but he could not bring her along. After all, their relationship could not be publicly announced for the time being.

She forced a smile and proceeded to take the invitation that he handed over. “I understand,” she said with a smile.

She looked down at the invitation and then looked up at him with a smile. “I will go, and I won’t cause you any trouble.”

After she finished speaking, she strode towards the second floor.

Looking at the woman’s back that pretended to be relaxed, Damon’s brows unconsciously tightened. He felt a little strange.

When her figure disappeared around the corner of the second floor, Damon picked up his phone and sent a message to Ben.

“Tomorrow, go order a set of ladies ‘evening dresses according to Adele’s size.”

For Adele, this husband was lacking in some aspects, so he could only try to make up for it in other aspects.

Time passed. In the blink of an eye, it was Saturday. When Adele woke up, she found that there was no one beside her. She washed up and hurried downstairs.

“Mary, where is Damon?”

After walking around, she did not see the man.

“Young Master went out early in the morning and said that he had an appointment with someone in the morning,” Mary answered while wiping the table.

“Oh.”

Adele responded with some disappointment.

The jewelry exhibition begins in the afternoon. She had thought that Damon would take her to the venue at the last moment, even if they separated after entering the venue. She did not expect him to leave early in the morning.

“Madam, aren’t you going to participate in some event today?” asked Mary.

“A jewelry exhibition,” said Adele weakly.

“Hurry up and eat breakfast first.”

“It will begin in the afternoon,” said Adele with a smile when she saw Mary’s spirited appearance.

Moreover, she did not have any suitable clothes to attend the event, so there was nothing to prepare.

After being persuaded by Mary, Adele felt better and got up to eat breakfast.

When it was just noon, Ben suddenly came over with a big flat box in his hands. The box stood up and almost blocked his whole upper body, only revealing his two legs.

Adele was sitting on the sofa watching TV. Seeing him come in like this, she was shocked. “You…”

What was he doing?

Ben put the box on the table and smiled at Adele. “Madam, this is the dress that Mr. Yusuf prepared for you.”

“A dress?” Adele was surprised.

“Yes, he arranged for me to order it a few days ago. He personally chose the style.”

Adele quickly got up. For some reason, she felt a little excited. She walked to the table and slowly opened the box.

A golden strapless evening dress came into view. The place where her eyes met was glittering with golden light. It was so beautiful that it was incomparable.

Adele was stunned for a while as if she was dreaming. She looked at Ben and asked again, “Is this really for me?”

Ben nodded.

After confirmation, Adele’s heart almost jumped out of her chest.

Since she was young, she had never worn such a beautiful dress!

Mary, who was at the side, came over and looked, and could not help but sigh, “It’s just too beautiful. Madam will shine brightly when she wears it! Young Master has good taste!”

Hearing this, Adele’s cheeks blushed, and she was stunned again. She was encouraged by Mary to go back to the room to try it out, and then she slowly returned to the room with the box in her arms.

During the time she spent with Damon, she had seen his coldness and also felt his warmth. Although he had not mentioned anything about the jewelry exhibition in the past few days, he had already asked someone to help her get a dress. How could she not be moved?

Adele happily changed her clothes, took a deep breath, put it on, and then looked at herself in the mirror.

She had never thought that she would look this beautiful someday. After all, she usually wore casual clothes.

When she came downstairs wearing the dress, Mary, who was waiting in the living room, could not help but compliment her.

Ben was also a little surprised. Soon, he reacted. He picked up his phone and secretly took a photo and sent it to Damon when Adele was not paying attention.

“Madam, you are really beautiful in this dress. I will roll your hair later. When you get there, you will definitely be outstanding!”

“Mary, don’t make fun of me.” Adele blushed from Mary’s praise.

“I am not making fun of you. I think Young Master knows you better. The size is just right.”

When Adele heard this, her cheeks glowed even more.

When Mary saw that her face was so peachy that it almost reached her ears, she smiled and did not continue to tease.

The two of them chatted and laughed. In the end, Mary insisted on taking her to the room to do a makeover for her. Adele could not refuse and could only follow her back to the bedroom.

…

In the private room of River City International.

Damon sat at the dining table, listening to the manager who was sitting at the side talking about the specific details of the project. He was a little absent-minded.

“As for the specific details, Mr. Yusuf can look at the plan again…”

A document was presented in front of him. Damon raised his eyes slightly and said lazily, “There is no need to look at it. Just tell me how long it will take to build the team for this project and how long the payback period will be.”

“Okay…”

The manager nodded and began to explain in detail.

After a bit of deliberation, Damon felt a little headache. He casually swiped his phone and saw the WeChat message from Ben. He instantly opened it.

It was just a photo.

In the photo, Adele was wearing a golden dress with a slender waist. She lowered her eyes slightly, and the corners of her lips were raised with some shyness.

His breathing stopped, and Damon felt a ball of fire burning in his body.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at the picture. A layer of sweat appeared on the palm of his hand that was holding the phone.

He also did not expect that Adele would have such a stunning look. So beautiful that he could not take his eyes away.

“Mr. Yusuf, this is probably it. Do you understand?”

The manager’s voice came from the side and caught Damon’s attention.

He turned over his phone and put it on the table. He picked up a glass of red wine and took a sip. Then he said, “Well, I have a general understanding. There is no problem. You can draft a contract now.”

When the manager heard him say this, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up his glass to toast him.

He waved his hand and politely refused, “There is still an event in the afternoon. I can’t have any more drinks.”

The manager smiled and did not force him.

Although Damon had not drunk much, for some reason, his stomach was burning. The only thing that lingered in his mind was Adele’s smile. It extended bit by bit in his imagination…

He grabbed a cup and drank more than half of the water. Thereafter, the heat in his body subsided. He looked at the time and sighed. It was time for him to prepare for the event.

He wondered if she would give him a surprise when he meets her at the scene.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
