Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

On the way out of the secretary’s office to the president’s office, Adele had already mentally prepared herself. When she reached the door, she knocked on the door calmly and pushed the door open to enter.

Damon was reviewing documents when she heard footsteps. She quickly signed her name at the end of the document and looked up at Adele.

“Mr. Yusuf, what orders do you have?” she asked.

Damon said, “Jane is back today. You should go back to Administrative Department first. You can continue to follow the matter of Jiang Huanchen’s endorsement. Try to settle it as soon as possible. There will be a bonus if this matter is done.”

Sure enough, when Adele hung by her side, she unconsciously pinched the corner of her clothes and softly replied, “Okay.”

Her heart twitched uncontrollably. She gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm as she looked at Damon. Her mood was extremely complicated.

Ever since she heard Assistant Liu mention that Jane had come back today, she had guessed something.

Yesterday, she and Damon worked overtime together. When she was eating in the office, she was seen by Clara. She thought that it was impossible for Damon to keep her in the president’s office.

Clara was his fiancée. He wanted to give her an explanation and also give her a peace of mind.

As long as her opponent was Clara, she had never won this kind of multiple-choice question.

Adele took a deep breath. When Damon looked up, she summoned up her courage and said, “Mr. Yusuf, my dad is going to have a check-up this weekend. I want to accompany him. As for the engagement…”

She paused and looked into Damon’s black eyes, feeling a little guilty.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Professor Wes was indeed going to do a check-up on the weekend to prepare for this operation. However, with Ms. Henderson accompanying her, it didn’t matter whether she went or not. The reason why she brought this up was because she didn’t want to attend the engagement ceremony between Damon and Clara at all.

When she and Damon got married, he couldn’t even give her a wedding. Now, he was only engaged to Clara, so he had to make a big fuss about it. It made others envious. She saw it and felt a thorn in her heart.

Therefore, it was better to find an excuse to brush it off.

When Damon heard this, he frowned slightly. There was a hint of complexity in his eyes. His Adam’s apple rolled and paused for half a second. He said coldly, “Clara wants you to go.”

Adele tightened her grip on the corner of her shirt and blurted out, “But I don’t…”

She was only halfway through her sentence when she suddenly snapped back to her senses and hurriedly stopped.

Right now, she and Damon had a superior and subordinate relationship, and it was not to the point where she could say whatever she wanted.

However, it was already too late.

Damon’s eyebrows tightened a little. With a cold expression on her face, she glanced at Adele and suddenly put down the pen in her hand. She stood up and walked toward her with her long legs.

As if frightened by his imposing manner, Adele unconsciously took a step back. When the man approached, she looked up and bumped into his deep, bottomless eyes. She found that it was too late to hide.

Damon reached out and grabbed her shoulder with his big hand. “Adele, you are not because the teacher has to check your body and can’t go, but because you don’t want to.”

Adele gasped and denied, “No…”

“You still want to hide it from me?” Damon asked with a frown.

After knowing her for so long, he could tell what she meant with one movement and one look. How could he not tell that she was lying?

“Why don’t you want to go?” “Don’t you want to see me and Clara get engaged?” he asked in a low and deep voice.

When Adele heard this, she looked up in surprise. When she saw his confident eyes, she looked away with a guilty conscience. “How is that possible? You two are a perfect match.”

Damon’s eyes flashed, and her heart felt a little depressed.

She only knew that he was going to get engaged. She was afraid that he was not willing to get engaged. If Yu Qingshan had not forced him, he would not have agreed. If she said that she did not want him to get engaged, he would have considered it again…

But she did not say anything.

A complicated emotion was brewing in the depths of his eyes. A few seconds later, Damon withdrew his hand from her shoulder. His voice suddenly became much colder, and he seemed to sneer. “Since you want to bless us so much, then wait until Saturday at the engagement ceremony.”

After that, he turned around and walked to his desk. He said coldly without turning back, “I will call the hospital and ask them to do a check-up for the teacher on Sunday. It won’t delay your filial piety.”

Adele moved her lips, but she couldn’t say anything.

It was equivalent to him firmly blocking all her choices. Even if she didn’t want to participate in the engagement ceremony, there was no excuse.

She looked up and saw him standing by the window with his back to her. His back was cold. She frowned and did not refuse. “Yes, thank you, Mr. Yusuf.”

After saying this, she did not stay any longer. She turned and quickly walked out of the office.

When she returned to the secretary room and closed the door, her suppressed emotions surged out like a flood.

For a moment, complaints and grievances mixed together, making her eyes unconsciously red.

Letting her attend their engagement ceremony, wasn’t this deliberately forcing her to suffer?

Gritting his teeth, Adele was just about to wipe away the tears at the corner of his eyes when the door opened and someone walked in.

Before she could turn around, she heard a pleasant female voice. “Ms. Wes, long time no see.”

Adele looked over and saw Jane standing at the door of the office.

After a vacation, she looked much more beautiful than before. Her shoulder-length hair was slightly curled, and she looked very good. However, she still looked at her with a bit of coldness and alienation.

Adele quickly adjusted her mood, smiled, and greeted her, “Secretary An, you look very good.”

Jane smiled and did not say anything. He walked towards her and glanced at the furnishings in the office. He smiled and said, “Thanks to you at the president’s office for this holiday, I should thank you.”

She took out a small box from her handbag and handed it to her. “This is a souvenir that I bought when I went to the Maldives for my honeymoon. This is for you. It’s a little token of my appreciation.”

Adele hesitated for a moment and smiled. “Thank you.”

Jane smiled and asked curiously, “But aren’t you very capable at work? And now, you are in need of manpower. Why didn’t Mr. Yusuf let you stay?”

Hearing this, Adele’s heart suddenly tightened. She turned her head and met Jane’s curious gaze. All of her words seemed to be stuck in her throat, unable to spit out a single word.

She didn’t know if Jane was deliberately asking this. In short, when these words fell into her ears, it made her feel cold all over, and her heart was heavy and stuffy.

Seeing that she did not reply, Jane smiled and pretended to wave his hand. “Forget it, forget it. Oh right, if you need help with moving things, you can call me.”

Adele pulled out a smile that was not good to look at. He did not say anything and walked to the desk to pack up his things.

She could hear the sarcasm and sarcasm in Jane’s words, but this was just the beginning for her.

When she returned to Administrative Department from the president’s office, she would face Grace and her colleagues, and she would have even more unpleasant words to say.
