Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

At this time, even if she was unwilling, she had to bite the bullet and agree.

“Is that so?” a cold smile flashed across Frank’s eyes.

“Don’t worry, Vice President Williams. I can do it.” Adele summoned up her courage and repeated.

“I hope so.” Frank looked back and forth at her.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps. Then, a cold voice sounded, “Why is Vice President Williams here?”

Hearing Damon’s voice, Adele subconsciously became nervous. She looked up and saw that he was walking toward her.

Damon’s gaze swept across her body. He did not pause for half a second. His eyes turned to Frank. His goal was clear.

Frank’s eyes darkened and he replied with a cold smile, “This is a little assistant sent by the Administrative Department. She is not very sensible. I am telling her the rules.”

“Is that so? Then I’ll ask the Administrative Department to find someone else,” said Damon.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

Frank chuckled, but his smile did not reach his eyes. “There’s no need for that. It’s only been a few days. This little girl looks pretty smart, so she will do.”

“That’s good,” said Damon after a pause.

“Since Mr. Yusuf is here, I don’t need to go to your office. Why don’t you come to my office to have a cup of tea?”

“I still have matters to attend to. Let’s forget about drinking tea,” Damon said indifferently.

Adele stood to the side and listened to the two of them talking. On the surface, they looked calm, but she could feel the secret contest between them.

Just as she was lost in thought, Damon, who was beside her, suddenly turned his head and instructed her, “There’s nothing for you to do here. You may go for now.”

Hearing this, Adele felt relieved and hurriedly said, “Okay.”

She knew in her heart that Damon was helping her out by saying this.

She breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave quickly.

Walking outside, she still felt a chill down her spine, but she did not dare to turn back to look.

Although she did not know what kind of role this Vice President Williams was playing, it seemed that the relationship between Vice President Williams and Damon was not simple. And now, Vice President Williams was transferred back from the branch company. What was his purpose?

Adele did not have time to think about it. She took a deep breath, returned to the office, and drank a glass of water to calm herself down.

No matter what, since she had promised Ms. Blunt, she had to work hard under Frank for this week. In the blink of an eye, a week would pass.

Thinking of this, her heart relaxed a lot.

In no time, it was afternoon. Before she got off work, she received a message from Damon. “Get off work early. I will wait for you downstairs. Today, you will go with me to the grand house to visit Grandma.”

Her originally relaxed mood suddenly sank.

When she agreed to Damon’s request last night, she didn’t think too much about it. Now that she really had to go back to the grand house with him, she felt a little burdened.

They had been legitimate husband and wife before, but now they were exes who had to act after their marriage, so it was inherently much more awkward.

Scratching her head, Adele didn’t know what to do for a moment. Seeing this, Shirley, who came to deliver the documents, was curious and surprised. “Adele, what’s wrong with you? If you continue scratching like this, your head will be bald!”

Hearing this, Adele looked down and saw several strands of hair on the table. She was also shocked. She hurriedly smoothed her hair and hurriedly packed up her things. “Shirley, I have something to do. Help me cover up. I will leave now.”

When Shirley heard this, she blinked her eyes and asked nosily, “Are you going on a date?”

“No!” Adele pushed her away angrily and smilingly.

If it was a date, she would definitely not be so distressed.

At this moment, her phone rang. Adele opened it and saw a message from Owen. “Shall we eat together after work? I’ll wait for you.”

Owen actually asked her out at this time?

Shirley came over and glanced at the screen. She couldn’t help but smile. “You said it isn’t a date?”

Adele felt a wave of stress coming on. On one side, Damon informed her to go home to visit his grandmother. On the other side, Owen asked her out for a meal. The time just happened to be the same. What should she do?

She didn’t have time to explain it to Shirley. She carried her bag and walked out. “Shirley, I’ll talk to you another day. It’s too late now. I’ll go first.”

“Happy date!” Shirley said with a knowing smile.

Adele jogged all the way to the hall by taking the lift. Her heart involuntarily rose to her throat. Previously, when Owen came to find her, he would always wait at the gate in advance. She did not know if he was here this time. If she went out and bumped into Damon and Owen at the same time, it would be awkward.

When she reached the gate of the company, she first looked around. After making sure that she did not see Owen, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief and quickly walked toward the Maybach below the stairs.

Seeing that she was about to reach the car door, she looked back and forth before quickly opening the door and getting in the car.

With a bang, the car door closed and isolated the outside world. Only then did Adele let out a long sigh of relief.

Sitting at the side, Damon saw the movements and eyes of the woman, his gaze unconsciously sinking a bit.

“Are you being a thief?”

“Ah? No… no.” Adele suddenly reacted.

Damon turned his head, his gaze cold and clear. He stared fixedly at her, seemingly determined to get an answer. “Then what are you doing?”

Being stared at like this by him, Adele’s back was sweating. She gritted her teeth and said, “I’m afraid of being seen by others…”

Other than Owen, if her colleagues in the company saw her getting into Mr. Yusuf’s car, she was afraid that it would attract a lot of gossip in the company.

Hearing her say this, Damon’s face became a little uglier, so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out.

It turned out that she wanted to cut ties with him so badly.

With a trace of anger in his heart, Damon turned around, started the car, and stepped on the accelerator.

Adele looked at the cold-faced man next to her and felt that the atmosphere in the car was so cold that it could freeze people. She opened her mouth, but just as she did not know what to say, the phone in her hand suddenly rang.

Adele was shocked. She suddenly came back to her senses and looked at the caller ID on the screen. Her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

It was Owen!

The phone rang for a while. It was strange in the quiet room. Adele took a deep breath and was about to hang up when the man’s cold voice came from the side, “Why don’t you answer the phone?”

Adele shook her hand and stammered, “Yes…”

At this time, if she didn’t pick up, it would seem like she had a guilty conscience.

Moreover, now that she and Damon had divorced, it was normal for her to have other men around her.

Thinking of this, Adele breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up her phone and pressed the answer button.

“Hello?”

“Adele, are you busy?” Owen’s warm voice came from the other side.

“No… no.”

“Have you received the message I sent you just now? Do you want to have dinner together with me?” the male voice on the other side of the line asked gently.

Adele took a deep breath and said softly, “Tonight… I might not be able to do it. I have something to do.”

The other side paused for half a second after hearing this, and then said, “It doesn’t matter. Let’s do it another day.”

“I’m sorry for today,” Adele said softly.

“It doesn’t matter. There will be another time.”

The man’s magnetic voice came from the phone. Adele was stunned and felt that he seemed to have said this physically in her ear. Her ears immediately burned.

Taking a deep breath, Adele stammered a few words and immediately hung up the phone.

At this moment, Damon suddenly opened his mouth and asked coldly, “Who is it?”
