“Well, be well.”
Peter held her in his arms as theyy on the bed, and he slowly patted her back, lulling Adriana to sleep with great patience.
It took a while for Adriana to fall asleep.
In her sleep, Adriana’s body jerked, “Ran, no, Ran …”
She called Ran’s name, Peter heard it in his ears, pained in his heart, but would not me Adriana.
Adriana and Ran all the past he knows well, he has no reason to hate Ran.
The following day.
Adriana wakes up without Peter beside her.
As usual, she washed up, locked the door, had her blood drawn, went downstairs for dinner, drank her medication, and went to work.
Only today, just after arriving at the office door, Rene, the secretary, said that Ran was here.
She walked into the office and saw Ran sitting on the couch, “You’re here? So early, haven’t you eaten yet?”
Although a lot of things happened yesterday, Adriana didn’t feel that those things could affect her rtionshipwith Ran.
Still a friend.
Ran today dressed very casual, ck shirt with jeans, very casual, but very idle young.
“Eat up.”
Ran stood up and asked, “I heard you had an ident yesterday, are you okay?”
Looking up and down at Adriana, she saw that Rene was fine, except for a band-aid on her forehead to nothing serious.
His heart hung in the air before it fell.
“It’s okay, it was just an ident. But your car …”
“The car is fine, it’s insured.”
Ran picked up a box from the table and handed it to Adriana, “For you, to sort of make up for the ident yesterday.”
He said, “If you don’t take the phone, you’re not giving me face. The bracelet you gave my girlfriend is very expensive, a cell phone is very cheap, can’t you look down on it?”
“No, no.”
Adriana was so helpless by Ran that she took the phone, “I already bought a phone on the way here just now.”
“Yeah? Let me see.”
He spreads his hands.
Adrianatook out a vermillion cell phone and handed it to him. Ran opened the case, took out the card pickup pin, removed the card from Adriana’s cell phone, and put it inside the one he bought.
“I’ll take this phone.”
Ran dominantly put the phone in his pocket and handed his phone to Adriana, “Take it.”
He made a move that made Adriana shake her head helplessly, “Thanks.”
A cell phone is just, if you are concerned about it again will really seem pretentious.
“You’re noting over today just to deliver a cell phone, are you?”
“I’m fine,e over and have some fun.”
He spread his hands, a yboy unrestrained style, “now do not have to work, nothing to do, can only loiter.”
Speaking of work-rted matters, Adriana couldn’t help but ask, “I think Uncle is not a bad person, why are you two brothers so stiff?”
If she could, Adriana really wished she could help and ease the rtionship between the two brothers and keep them from continuing to fight in the open.
Both are her friends, and either one is important to Adriana.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
Speaking of Lane, Ran’s face was a few shades deeper, clearly displeased.
Very repulsive, even disgusted with Lane.
Adriana didn’t understand what was going on between them and asked, “Ran, did something happen between you guys, can you tell me?”
She felt that it was best to help them in any way she could now.
“There’s nothing to say, I don’t want to talk about him.”
The man walked to the sofa, sat down leisurely, hands on the sofa lean, legs folded, wiggled his toes, a rare look of indulgence.
Adriana put her phone down and walked over to Ran and sat down, “Lane really isn’t that bad, maybe you can get to know him again. You guys …”
“I’ve grown up with him since I was a kid, do you think I wouldn’t know Lane.”
Ran’s good-looking eyes released a cold aura, “Stay away from him, he’s an asshole, don’t be fooled by his false appearance.”
“Who’s talking about me?”
A voice rang out at the office door, and as it fell, the office door opened and Lane walked in.
“Ran, let’s not talk about what happened between us brothers and not be afraid to make peopleugh.”
Lane walked in alone, carrying a folder in his hand, still a mature and stable image of a handsome uncle, but inexplicably giving a feeling of closeness, as warm as the sun.
“Uncle, why are you free toe over today?”
Adriana gets up and greets her.
“Here, thepany n contract book that I discussed with you yesterday has been prepared by the legal department, there is no problem and we can sign it.”
Lane handed the papers in his hand to Adriana, “Looking forward to working with you for the first time on business.”
I used to know Adriana, she is a simple little girl.
After several years, she has really changed a lot and impressed Lane.
“With the tiger, Adriana, I advise you to read the contract more often.”
Ran said sarcastically.
Adriana took the contract and put it directly on the desk without looking at it, “Uncle, have a seat, Ran just likes to joke around, don’t take it seriously.”
“Adri you’re wee, Ran is my brother and I know his character very well.”
“That’s good.”
Despite Lane’s polite words, the stiff atmosphere between the two of them could be felt.
Adriana awkwardly smiled and poured a cup of tea for each of them and put it on the table, “Sit down.”
Sitting across the sofa, the two brothers who do not look at each other, the most fear is the silence in the air, that silence can almost make Adriana oppressive suffocation.
Faced with two men, she had to lighten the mood, “Ran, you …”
“I have something to tell youter, you can talk to him first about business and let him go first afterwards.”
Ran seemed to guess what Adriana was going to say, and spoke up to interrupt Adriana directly.
The corner of Adriana’s mouth twitched and she reached up to touch her forehead. In order not to make things too awkward between Ran and Lane, and out of absolute trust in Lane, she took the contract and scanned it aside for a few moments.
Instead of sweeping a few nces, it was just a token nce at the document while his eyes fell on the two brothers over there.
Finally, he turned directly to thest few pages, signed his name and stamped thepany’s official seal.
Walked up to Lane and handed him the phone, “Uncle, the papers have been signed. I’m sorry to bother you to make a trip.”
“I told you, you don’t have to be polite with me.”
Lane paid it off with a very friendly smile.
Asked, “Are you free at noon to take you to dinner?”
“No time. I already have an appointment with Adriana at noon today.”
Ran didn’t give Adriana any chance to speak at all and interrupted her directly.
“Okay then, what about the night?”
Lane wasn’t offended and continued to ask.
“No time, we have a singing date tonight.”
Ran interrupted again.
Lane didn’t back out of the battle and continued to pursue the question, “What about tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow?”
It seems to be deliberately going toe-to-toe with Ran.
Or maybe Ran is deliberately going toe-to-toe with Lane.
Adriana took a sip of her tea and smiled bitterly, “I’ve been busy thest few days, Ran, and I can’t dine with you today. I can’t dine with you today either, Uncle. honey has recently recovered from a serious illness and I have to apany him.”
Said, suddenly realized what asked, immediately said to Lane: “Forgot to introduce to you, Peter, my … husband.”
Adriana spells out Peter’s identity directly to avoid any further ufortable rtionships.
“Yes, bring your husband when you are free and let’s have a meal together.”
Lane got up and took the papers, “I’ll go first then.”
He smiled at Adriana, and that smile was genuine and heart-warming.
Adriana walked him to the elevator before she turned around and went into the office.
In the office, Ran was still sittingzily on the sofa, Adriana couldn’t help but walk up to him and sit directly next to the coffee table and look at him, “Ran, I really think there is a misunderstanding between you and Uncle. You are a family, even if you are from the same father and mother there is an inseparable blood rtionship. Do you understand?”
