Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

After an unknown period of time, just when Adele felt that she was about to lose her breath, the hand that was on her shoulder suddenly loosened.

She was like a fish that had been released. She took a deep breath, her heart pounding, unable to hold back.

When she looked up, she met Damon’s eyes that were shining brightly. Her heart tightened, and she became even more nervous.

“Is it still spicy?” The man narrowed his eyes slightly, a smile yet not a smile.

“No… it’s not spicy anymore,” Adele said, a little embarrassed.

As she spoke, she quickly looked away, picked up the porridge box on the table, lowered her head, and began to drink.

Her mouth was not spicy, but her heart was spicy.

Quickly drinking more than half of the porridge, Adele quickly said, “Mr. Yusuf, I’ve finished eating, so I’ll go back to work first…”

“Wait a minute.” Damon frowned and glanced at the remaining half of the porridge. “You ate so little?”

He had known Adele for so long, so how could he not know her appetite? With this amount, it was absolutely impossible for her to be full.

Originally, Adele felt that it was too awkward to be like him. She wanted to leave early, but she did not expect to be exposed in minutes. She smiled at Damon awkwardly, “Recently, I’ve been on a diet…”

“Lose weight?” Damon’s eyebrows were covered with a layer of cold frost. She pursed her lips and said, “Lose weight?”This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

With her small body, how could she lose weight? Wasn’t she afraid of malnutrition and anemia?

Receiving the warning in the man’s eyes, Adele could only bite the bullet and sit down again.

“Don’t reduce it.” “You’re just right.” Damon raised an eyebrow.

What did he mean by just right?

“What just right?” Adele was confused.

“What do you think?” Damon asked with a smile as his gaze swept past her chest.

Following his gaze, Adele lowered his head. When he saw his chest, his face flushed red.

So that was what he meant!

Adele was both embarrassed and annoyed. She bit her lips and was speechless. At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside the office. Then, the door of the office was pushed open. “Damon…”

Clara appeared at the door and was stunned when she saw the scene in the room.

Damon and Adele were also shocked and looked up at her.

“Clara, why are you here?” Damon was the first to come back to her senses and asked.

“Damon, you…” Clara walked over in surprise. Her eyes were complicated.

She looked at Adele and then looked at the food box on the coffee table. Her face was a little pale.

Adele reacted and quickly put down the porridge box in her hand and stood up. “Miss Moore… It’s like this. We have to work overtime today, so we just have to eat something. There is still a pile of work to do later…”

Hearing what Adele said, her face recovered a little color. She looked at Damon and pulled her lips. “Damon, you said that you worked overtime. I was worried and came to see you…”

As she spoke, she walked over to Damon and sat down. She placed the bag in her hand on the table. “I asked my family’s chef to cook fish soup for you. You have worked hard. You can’t always eat this kind of tasteless takeout. You have to make up for it…”

Adele stood at the side and suddenly felt that he was a little unnecessary.

At this moment, Clara looked up at her and smiled politely at her. “Adele, do you want to eat more?”

“No need. Thank you, Miss Moore. I’m almost done eating. I’m ready to go to work.”

As she spoke, she bent down to pack up the food boxes and bags on the table.

Damon swept his gaze over her, his lips pursed into a line. He turned to look at Clara and said, “Didn’t I tell you not to go through so much trouble? Why did you specially come here?”

“Aren’t I worried about you? Besides, I’ve been busy preparing for the engagement these past two days. I haven’t seen you in a long time!”

Clara hugged one of Damon’s arms and said intimately.

When Adele heard this, he unconsciously paused in his action of packing up.

“By the way.” Clara suddenly let go of Damon. He smiled and picked up his bag. He took out an exquisite envelope from it. He looked at Adele and said, Adele, Damon and I will be engaged this weekend. This is the invitation. You must come!

As she spoke, she handed the invitation over.

Adele’s heart sank. She looked up at the envelope and her heart tightened. She reached out her hands to take it and forced out a smile.

“Thank you!” Clara smiled sweetly and winked at her. “I’ll wait for you then!”

Adele nodded and did not say anything. She pretended to be calm and picked up the bag. She looked at Damon and said, “Then I’ll be busy.”

As she spoke, she turned around and walked out of the office.

The moment the door closed, she could still faintly hear Clara’s chuckle.

She mechanically threw the trash into the trash can outside and returned to her office. Looking at the invitation on the table, her nose felt a little sour.

She had clearly comforted herself many times in private, but when she encountered such a situation, she could not help but feel emotional fluctuations.

Twenty minutes ago, Damon even kissed her, but in the blink of an eye, she received an invitation to his engagement with another woman. It was really ironic.

Adele gritted her teeth, forcibly suppressing the discomfort in her heart, and put the invitation into the drawer.

Just receiving this news, she could no longer control her emotions. How could she calmly attend their wedding all the way?

Forget it, let’s find an excuse to avoid it another day.

Half of the work was finished. Two hours had passed. Adele picked up her phone and saw the message Damon sent her. “Let’s get off work,” she said.

It was just three simple words, and there was no extra sentence.

She took a deep breath and packed up her things. She came out of the office and saw that there was no one in the president’s office. It was as if she was the only one left on the entire floor.

It seemed that from the beginning to the end, she was alone.

The next morning, Adele rushed to the office from her apartment and checked in on time. Not long after she arrived at the president’s office, Assistant Liu knocked on the door. “Secretary Ruan.”

“I brought breakfast for you.”

“Thank you.” “Why did you ask for leave yesterday?” Adele smiled at her and asked casually.

“I have something to do at home and it has been settled. I handed over my work to you as soon as I left. It’s really troublesome.” Assistant Liu explained.

“It’s nothing for colleagues to help each other.” Adele smiled and shook her head.

“By the way, I heard that Secretary An went back to the company today. Her one-month wedding leave was not over yet. I don’t know why she suddenly came back.”

“Is that so?” Hearing this, Adele’s heart sank. “Maybe it’s because I’ve been too busy with work recently and lack manpower?”

“It’s possible,” Assistant Liu nodded. “Let’s not talk about it for now. I’m going to work now.”

Adele nodded and watched her walk out of the office.

After closing the door, she thought of what Assistant Liu had just said. She suddenly felt a little uneasy. She calculated in her heart that it had been almost a month since she was transferred from Administrative Department to the president’s office. Logically, Jane should be back.

However, when Jane came back, did it mean that she was going to return to Administrative Department?

Unfortunately, the woman’s sixth sense was surprisingly accurate.

“Secretary Ruan, Mr. Yusuf wants you to go over.” Ben knocked on her door as soon as it was time to go to work.

When Adele heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She had already guessed what was going on.
