Chapter 21 Still Angry?
After stewing for more than two hours, the delicious pork ribs soup finally came out of the pot. Adele Wes put the soup into a thermal lunch box and planned to go out.
Before she left, she looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly hesitated.
If she appeared in the company like this, there would definitely be many colleagues who would recognize her. If she swaggered in and out of the president’s office like this, it would probably attract the suspicion of many people.
After thinking about it, she changed into sportswear and covered her face with a hat and mask. Then she went out to the company building.
The last time Damon Yusuf saw her off, he had taken her through the exclusive channel of the president. This time, she directly went to the exclusive lift and directly went to the floor where the president’s office was located.
Coming out of the lift, Adele was secretly happy about her own cleverness. Unexpectedly, before she took two steps, she was stopped by someone.
“Who are you? Do you know where this is? You can’t casually go in for a takeout delivery!”
A woman in a secretary’s uniform stood in front of her. She was beautiful, but her eyebrows were sharp and proud.
Adele was stunned. Before she could open her mouth, she heard the woman say, “Takeout deliveries can be placed over here!”
Takeout deliveries?Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
Adele looked down at the set of clothes on her body and then looked at the bag in her hand. She could not speak for a while.
The woman saw that she did not answer for a long time, and her face became a bit ugly. “Don’t you understand me? Go out! This is not a place you can come to!”
Adele’s gaze fell on the employee tag on her chest and read out her name word by word, “Sherry Turkle, your service attitude…”
“My service attitude? What kind of service attitude do you need as a delivery girl?”
Sherry rolled her eyes and reached out to grab the lunchbox in Adele’s hand. “Give me the takeout, and leave!”
Adele hurriedly stepped back. Just as she was in a dilemma, a familiar voice came from the side.
“Well, do it according to Group A’s proposal, and give me a complete plan in three days.”
Adele followed the voice and saw a few people led by Damon Yusuf walking toward them.
Coincidentally, Damon turned his head and glanced at Adele. His gaze paused for half a second and then moved away as if he had seen nothing unusual.
When Sherry saw him, her eyes immediately flashed and she quickly went forward to greet him. “Mr. Yusuf, I have sent the information you want to the office.”
“Okay.”
Damon replied indifferently. He walked past her and looked at Adele.
Adele was wearing a baseball cap and a mask. Her whole body was covered tightly, revealing only her two eyes. When she was stared at by him, she felt cold sweat on her back.
Sherry noticed Damon’s gaze and glanced at Adele. She quickly explained, “Mr. Yusuf, she is a delivery girl, and she insisted on going in. She must have caught the front desk off guard and sneaked up. I was trying to drive her away…”
“No need. Let her in.” Damon said.
“Ah?” Sherry was surprised and thought she had heard wrong.
“I said, let her in.”
Damon said in a deep voice and walked directly to the office.
Sherry was stunned. When Damon walked away, she turned to glance at Adele and said snappily, “Why didn’t you say earlier that you were here to send it to Mr. Yusuf? Go in!”
Adele didn’t say anything. She tightened her grip on the lunchbox and quickly lowered her head in the direction of his office.
Damon must have recognized her. With her attire, she could hide from others, but how could she hide it from him?
She carefully walked into his office. Before she could raise her head, she heard the man’s command. “Close the door.”
“Oh.” Adele turned her head and closed the door. She took off her mask and her heart began to beat faster.
“What are you doing here?”
“I… I’m here to bring you soup.”
Adele gasped. She lowered her head and walked to the table. She took out the thermos container from her bag. “I was in the wrong yesterday. You are already busy at work. I shouldn’t have caused you trouble.”
The woman lowered her head like a primary school student who had done something wrong, her voice was muffled, and her cheeks were still red.
Seeing this, the displeasure that had originally been stuck in Damon’s heart dissipated by half. He raised his hand to press the space between his eyebrows and said softly, “Alright, I understand.”
When Adele heard this, she looked at him with some excitement. “Then… are you not angry?”
“Yes.”
Hearing the man’s answer, Adele was happy and asked, “Then tonight, can you accompany…”
Bang! Bang!
Suddenly there was a knock at the door, “Mr. Yusuf, there is a document for you to sign.”
Hearing this, Damon did not answer, but looked up at Adele and ordered expressionlessly, “You go first.”
Adele swallowed her unfinished sentence back. She bit her lips and said softly, “Remember to drink the soup while it’s hot.”
After saying this, she put on her mask and walked out of the office.
Originally, she had already thought about it. As long as Damon calmed down, she would tell him about her father’s birthday. Unexpectedly, he was so busy that he seemed to have no patience to listen to her.
She would have to make an excuse for him.
Adele stepped forward. Just as she reached the door of the exclusive lift, she heard a familiar female voice behind her. “Stop!”
She turned around and saw Sherry walking toward her.
“What is it?”
Sherry raised her eyebrows and asked tentatively, “What is your relationship with Mr. Yusuf? Are you his servant?”
Adele was not in the mood to pay attention to her at all, so she asked coldly, “This has nothing to do with you, right?”
After saying this, she directly went to the exclusive lift and pressed the button.
“You!” Sherry stood outside and stomped her feet in anger.
She took the lift to the first floor and walked out of the company. She did not know where to go for a while.
Originally, she had agreed with Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes that the parents of the two families would have a meal together tonight, but now that Damon could not come, how could she explain it to Ms. Henderson?
After thinking about it, Adele did not come up with any good ideas. Thinking that she had not prepared a birthday gift for her father yet, she went to the nearby shopping mall to choose a gift.
She did not see a gift suitable for her father until she passed by an ancient shop, the crimson display cabinet of which suddenly attracted her eyes.
In the cabinet was a pen with an iron-gray light.
She was happy in her heart and quickly said, “Boss, can you take out this pen for me to see?”
The boss rushed over when he heard the news. When he saw the pen she pointed at, he smiled at her in embarrassment. “I’m sorry. This pen has just been sold and I haven’t had the time to wrap it up yet.”
Adele was stunned and quickly asked, “Really?”
She had wandered for a long time and had not got any satisfactory gift. However, she could tell that Professor Wes would definitely like this pen with just a glance, but she did not expect…
The boss nodded seriously and motioned for her to turn around. “Yeah. The buyer is this gentleman here.”
Adele followed his line of sight and turned her head. She saw a man sitting in a wheelchair in front of a display cabinet not far away. He was focused on admiring the display.
His face was handsome and his eyes were gentle. More importantly, Adele actually felt that he and Damon Yusuf looked somewhat alike…
