"No need to apologize, but I don''t like your making a fuss here."
"Say who? We came to apologize with sincerity, but he pulled a long face to us! What''s wrong with him?"
This woman was ridiculous, as Adrian was famous for his poker face in City A.
There were few people who could see his smiley face.
"No sincere apology, thanks. See you."
Aleigha disliked whoever was cold to Adrian.
"We''ll leave instantly, now, this moment. Jaidyn, let''s go."
"Are you done? The child is not everything for me."
Jaidyn, in a dilemma, threw a fit in front of Adrian and Aleigha.
"You yelled at me? How can you? For that woman?" Jodie red at Jaidyn, pointed at Aleigha, and shouted.
Jaidyn turned cold, nced at Aleigha, and then led Jodie away by the hand.
With a ss of water in his hand, Adrian didn''t say a word but smiled at Aleigha faintly.
"Who on earth she thinks herself to be? Why does Jaidyn mess up with this woman?"
Adrian shook his head. Her fair and perfect chest was exposed through the open cor. Aleigha kept peeking at it.
"Be patient. It is all yours after the baby is born, and you get well."
"Who peeks? Da*n"
Out of embarrassment, Aleigha went upstairs.
Mill arrived at thepany at 8 o''clock sharp, and Ruby followed behind.
She seemed more haggard than a few days ago.
When Aleigha arrived, Ruby was eating a steamed bun. She shivered at the sound of the footsteps.
"Mill, any news from the detention house?"
Aleigha went straight to the topic upon her getting into the office, as if Ruby didn''t exist.
"There is nothing wrong with the policemen in the detention house. Pe had a visitor, but that person was not Samantha."
"Well, she was bold enough to send a representative. Got you. Thanks for your information!"
Mill shook his head and looked back at Ruby.
"Take her back. Let her see Leona the day before theunch event."
With the bun in her hand, Ruby looked at Aleighaplexly. She didn''t know Aleigha''s n yet.
"Miss Gardner, please let me see my family, could you?"
With tears, Ruby pleaded.
"No!"
"Just a moment, please!"
"You will be free after your job is done. Don''t beg me now."
Aleigha remained cold to Ruby and looked at her emotionlessly.
"I see. Thank you, Miss Gardner."
Jionni, Adrian assistant, came in after Mill and Ruby left.
"Miss Gardner, the representative of the German project arrived. He''s chatting with Mr. Xiao. I am here to invite you over."
"Coming."
This German representative was an old partner with Adrian. Theirst cooperation ended because Adrian thought the techniques of the other party were not good. With new techniques, this Germanpany sought a new coboration with Adrian.
The project which Aleigha and Leona fought for was another one, much smaller in scale than this one.
Aleigha walked in Adrian''s office. The German representative was a ethnic Chinese.
This man, about 40 years old, looked noble with a tall and robust figure.
His life in Germany imnted rigor in his personality. He showed admiration at the sight of Aleigha.
"This is my wife, and she ispeting for your new project."
"Aleigha, this is the representative, Peyton Berry."
"Hello, Mr. Berry."
"Nice to meet you, Miss Gardner."
"Please take a seat, Mr. Berry."
Aleigha sat beside Adrian, and she put on a smiley face.
"Theunch event will be held this week. And you know that we attach great importance to the new products and are fastidious in our partners."
"Considering our past cooperation with Mr. Xiao, I believe that everything will go on well between us."
So, the cooperation issue was already settled, and the bidding process was toplete the formalism.
Aleigha leaked this information to Ruby deliberately, and this stimted Leona.
To embarrass Aleigha in theunch event, Samantha went to help Leona set up a trick.
However, Aleigha had foreseen Ruby''s betrayal and already got a solution at hand.
It was a sure catch for Aleigha.
"The cooperation is brilliant, but I would like to ask you for a favor about my presumptuous request." "Okay, what is it?"
Two hourster, Aleigha and Adrian saw Peyton off.
Adrian had the whole floor to be his
ov
office, so the arrival of Peyton was a secret known by a few persons, such as the assistants and secretaries on this floor.
After Peyton left, Adrian led Aleigha back to his office by the hand. In the office, Adrian carried Aleigha up.
"Tell me what is in your little mind. Why did you keep me in the dark?"
"Wait. It is an idea on the spur of the moment, and I didn''t have enough time to share with you."
"Stop, stop. I, I will tell you everything."
Adrian withdrew his hand from Aleigha''s waist and carried her into the lounge.
Aleigha was honest to Adrian about her n this time.
Adrian felt a chill run down his spine after hearing the n out. The ? boldness of Aleigha took Adrain by surprise, and he wondered if there were any other secrets he didn''t know yet.
"Aleigha, if you put yourself in danger like this again, I will get mad."
"Don''t. Never again. I was infuriated then. Calm down."
Aleigha knew Adrian, who was thoughtful, cold outside, and warm inside.
Whoever went against Adrian would get nothing.
Aleigha didn''t fear Adrian but felt it unnecessary to piss him off for such a trifile.
"Remember, I am here, always by your side. Share your misgivings with me, and I am more than d to helpdf you act recklessly again, I will kick your a*s!"
"Hey, are you sure? Won''t you be sorry?"
The coquetry of Aleigha made Adrian feel horny, but he didn''t dare to act boldly. So he pinched her face tenderly and kissed her on the lips.
Aleigha waved her hand and whined to protest, but Adrian was strong enough to hold her hands tightly.
Adrian left Aleigha when she felt hard to breathe and blushed.
"You are so sweet," Adrian smiled evilly. Inadvertently, he licked his lips.Content ? provided by N?velDrama.Org.
"Da*n you!" Aleigha''s face was crimson red, and she rubbed her mouth shyly. "You enjoyed my kiss just now!"
