Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

Listening to the mocking laughter of her colleagues, Adele suppressed her anger, turned around and looked at them, and asked with a serious face, “Who did you hear it from?”

Logically speaking, the Brayden she knew was not the kind of person who would casually tell the world about this, but how did they know?

“Everyone knows about this, okay?” a female colleague laughed fearlessly.

“Yes, Ms. Wes, your reputation in the company has been great recently. Everyone knows about this!”

Listening to them, Adele could not help but clench her fists. Something seemed to be stuck in her throat, making it impossible for her to hold back the anger.

She glanced at them coldly, picked up the documents that had just been printed, and walked directly to her office.

Shirley, who was on the side, could not stand it anymore. She got up and followed Adele to the office.

Closing the door of the office, Shirley advised, “Adele, don’t be angry.”

“How did everyone know about this?” Adele took a deep breath.

“Yesterday, someone sent a photo of you and Brayden to the group. Then, a colleague said that she saw you in the restaurant and said that you left before you finished eating, so everyone knew…”

After hearing what Shirley said, Adele remembered that after she read the group message yesterday, she blocked the group chat. No wonder she didn’t know anything.

“Adele, recently everyone has been paying more attention to you, and several colleagues in the department are keen to gossip. We can’t do anything about it…”

Adele was in a complicated mood. Indeed, no matter what she did, it was useless. It was better to keep a low profile and endure until everyone got bored of the topic.

When she thought of this, her heart calmed down a little. She looked up at Shirley and smiled at her. “Thank you, Shirley.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

At this time, the only person who was willing to comfort her was probably Shirley.

In the blink of an eye, the morning passed. When it was time to eat, Shirley took Adele to the cafeteria to eat.

The canteen was bustling with people. Adele could feel the eyes of others looking at her, but she didn’t take it to heart. As usual, she ate and then found a seat.

The tables in the canteen were all four-people ones. Just as Adele sat down, someone suddenly came over and sat directly opposite her.

When she looked up, she saw Sherry with a mean expression. There were two female colleagues beside her.

The three of them sat down in the other three empty seats and surrounded Adele.

Adele frowned and reminded, “This seat is taken.”

Just as she finished speaking, Shirley, who had just finished eating, walked over and stared at them in a daze.

Sherry smiled and glanced at Shirley. She casually pointed to the table next to them. “Isn’t there an empty seat there? Go and sit with Zac!”

Then, she looked at Adele and said with a smile, “Ms. Wes, we are colleagues after all. Can’t we sit at the same table?”

Looking at Sherry’s posture, Adele understood that she was deliberately looking for trouble. She paused and did not want to be bothered by them too much, so she simply said to Shirley, “Shirley, you can go there and find a seat.”

Although Shirley was a little hesitant, she still nodded and agreed.

When Sherry saw Shirley walk away, a complacent smile appeared on her face. She picked up her chopsticks and took a bite of the food. Then she deliberately asked, “Ms. Wes, I heard that you left Brayden alone in the restaurant yesterday? I am quite curious. How do you flirt with a man? Do you have any skills? Why don’t… you teach me?”

When she said this, the two female colleagues beside her laughed along.

Adele lowered her head and tightened her grip on her chopsticks.

She knew that Sherry had no good intentions when she insisted on sitting with her. Sure enough, Sherry had deliberately come to embarrass her.

“It is said that there are several young girls in our department who like Brayden! Now, those young girls will be heartbroken!”

“That’s right! I also think Brayden is quite good!”

“It doesn’t matter if you think that he is good! He only likes Ms. Wes!”

“…”

Sherry and the other two female colleagues were clearly mocking Adele. Some of the surrounding colleagues couldn’t stand it anymore and spoke up for Adele. “Alright, don’t go too far!”

“Too far? What do you mean?” She rolled her eyes in dissatisfaction, “Wasn’t she going too far when she left Brayden there before the date was over?” Sherry rolled her eyes.

Adele frowned and suppressed her anger.

At this moment, Sherry continued, “Adele, don’t you think that you are too much? While seducing Mr. Yusuf, you are flirting Brayden. Don’t you think you are a scheming bitch?”

Hearing the name “Damon”, Adele’s heart sank. Her hand that was hold the chopsticks unconsciously trembled, and the chicken pieces fell on her clothes.

She was wearing a white shirt, and the food stained it. She frowned, got up quickly, and walked quickly to the faucet next to her.

Sherry watched her leave, glanced at Adele’s plate, and finally locked her eyes on Adele’s juice cup.

Sherry turned to the woman next to her and whispered, “Keep an eye on her!”

As she spoke, she picked up her own juice and poured some into Adele’s cup. Then, she used the straw to stirred it before putting it back in its original place.

“Sherry, are you sure we can do this?” another female colleague asked uneasily.

“What do you know? We have to teach this kind of woman a lesson!” Sherry scolded in a low voice.

Although the rumors about Adele had never stopped in the past few days, Sherry still could not vent her anger about Adele being with Damon that day.

Not long ago, she saw Adele’s promotion report and personal information. She inadvertently glanced at it a few times and saw that Adele’s employee information collection indicated that she was allergic to mangoes. Therefore, she wanted to use this opportunity to mess with Adele!

After a while, Adele cleaned up the stains on her clothes and walked back.

Sherry glanced at her and looked at the two female colleagues beside her with a pretentious look. “I can’t even eat when I’m looking at her. I think we should change seats to stay away from her!”

As she spoke, she stood up, picked up her plate, and walked to the other side of the canteen with the two.

Adele looked at their backs as they left and secretly sighed in relief.

Fortunately, they had left, otherwise, she really couldn’t eat properly.

She had originally planned to meet with Corecords Company’s Mr. McClain in the afternoon. She needed to finish eating quickly and go back to prepare the necessary documents.

At the thought of this, Adele immediately sped up, ate a few mouthfuls of rice, and then drank the juice.

After quickly finishing the food, Adele was about to leave when she suddenly felt an inexplicable itch on her body, and her cheeks were a little hot.

Did she eat too fast?

Adele was a little confused. She grabbed the juice glass and drank the rest of the juice in one gulp. Then she picked up the plate and walked to the entrance of the canteen.

Sherry and the two women sat on the other side, paying attention to Adele’s every move.

“Sherry, didn’t you say that she is allergic to mangoes? She drank all the juice. Why is she still fine?”
