Chapter 70 Accidentally Fell into the Pool
As she spoke, she picked up the glass and gulped down the full glass of wine. The cold liquid flowed down her throat and into her stomach, the spicy taste lingering in her mouth.
Everyone at the table was dumbfounded. No one had expected that Adele, who was usually gentle and weak, could drink such a big cup of wine in one go.
Adele swallowed the last mouthful and turned the empty wine glass over to everyone. “Thank you for taking care of me all this time,” she said.
After she finished speaking, Daniel clapped his hands.
The male colleagues joined in the commotion and praised her for her “good alcohol tolerance”.
After drinking, Adele sat down. Shirley, who was next to her, leaned over and whispered, “Adele, why did you take it seriously? It’s not like you don’t know about the few male colleagues. They just like to make a fuss. Even if you didn’t drink, it would be fine!”
“I’m fine,” Adele said with a smile.
After drinking a glass of wine, her stomach burned, and she felt a little subtle.
At the table, everyone became noisy and toasted each other. Adele sat in the corner and watched the lively crowd. She silently drank glass after glass of wine.
The sour and sweet fruit wine did not taste strong, but after drinking a few cups unconsciously, the strength slowly came about. Adele’s cheeks were hot and her head was dizzy.
She sat there and drank alone. Unconsciously, she had drunk more than half of the wine in the bottle beside her.
She felt a little dizzy. Adele patted her cheek and got up to go to the bathroom. After washing her face, she became sober. When she walked to the corridor, she looked at the box not far away and turned away.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
She didn’t want to go back to the noisy private room. She just wanted to be alone. Even if she didn’t go back, no one would notice.
After all, since her promotion, her colleagues in the department had alienated her a lot. She would rather stay alone.
Walking down the stairs, Adele took a deep breath and walked around to a backyard. The backyard was very big, with green plants on both sides. There was a big swimming pool in the middle.
The yard was very quiet. Adele blew the night wind and walked to the side of the pool, slowly walking forward.
At this moment, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She took it out and saw it was Damon. For some reason, she did not want to pick it up at all.
She pressed the phone off, held it, and slowly walked along the pool.
Not long after, the phone rang again. Adele took it out and saw that it was Damon calling again!
After hesitating for a moment, she finally picked it up and casually put the phone to her ear. “Hello?”
“Where are you?” The man’s deep and pleasant voice came from the other side, but his tone was calm without a trace of emotion.
Adele took a deep breath and said in a huff, “It’s none of your business.”
On the other side of the line, Damon was stunned for half a second, then asked patiently, “Where did you go? Ben said you were not together with them.”
“You don’t need to know…” Adele said word by word.
After being rejected twice in a row, Damon realized that something was wrong. He frowned and asked, “Did you drink?”
“No!” Adele denied resolutely. With the help of the alcohol, she hung up the phone without thinking.
She was indeed a little angry. She was angry that he clearly had a family and was still eating with a woman outside.
She angrily turned off her phone and stuffed it into her pocket. She continued to walk forward unsteadily.
Suddenly, there were light footsteps behind her. Before Adele could react, she felt a force pushing her to the side!
With a loud “plop!”, Adele felt that her body was instantly wrapped in cold liquid. Her body unconsciously sank down!
Did… did she fall into a swimming pool?
She couldn’t swim!
Adele struggled wildly in the swimming pool, but her body still sank down. After drinking, her limbs were a little out of control. The sense of suffocation wrapped around her and she choked several mouthfuls of water in an emergency!
“Help!”
At this moment, the desire to survive exceeded everything. Adele struggled back and forth, and her face became redder and redder…
Suddenly, there was a “plop” sound from the swimming pool. Then, Adele felt that she had been lifted up by someone. In the next second, her vision went black and she lost consciousness.
…..
In the luxurious private room, Damon sat at the dining table and looked at all kinds of dishes on the table. He had no appetite and was listening to the conversations of others with a lack of interest.
Several high-level leaders of the companies laughed and chatted. Isabella was sitting at the side. Someone next to him noticed Damon’s abnormality. He smiled and asked, “Mr. Yusuf, what’s wrong? Is the food not to your liking?”
“No, I’m not really hungry. You guys eat.” Damon said lightly.
Everyone nodded and continued to drink and chat.
Isabella looked up, her eyes wandering back and forth on Damon. A moment later, she poured herself a glass of wine. She looked at Damon and smiled seductively. “Mr. Yusuf, shall we have a drink together?”
Damon raised his eyes and swept his gaze over her. Just as he was about to pick up his wine glass, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.
Ben walked in with a panicked expression. He first nodded to the crowd, then immediately walked to Damon’s side and whispered into his ear, “Mr. Yusuf, Madam fell into the pool!”
“What happened?” Damon’s face darkened.
He had just called her, and how did something happen in the blink of an eye?
“She fell into the pool. She’s fine. She’s in her room now.”
“I’m sorry, but I have something to attend to. Please excuse me.” Damon stood up and nodded at everyone.
As he spoke, he strode out of the room.
If anything happened to Adele, the operation would have to be delayed. All of his efforts in this period of time would be in vain!
“What exactly happened?” he asked in a low voice as he walked out of the room.
“I think she drank some wine and fell into the pool. A waiter saw her and saved her.”
When Damon heard this, his face sank.
As expected, she had been drunk!
Rushing to Adele’s room, Damon pushed the door open and saw that there was a doctor and several waiters in the room. Adele was lying on the bed, already awake, but her face was a little pale.
“How is it?” Damon asked the doctor.
“She has spat out a few mouthfuls of water, but she still seemed to be too frightened and has not spoken for a long time.”
Damon raised his eyes and looked at the woman who was in a trance on the bed. His mood was a little complicated. He paused and glanced at the people next to him. “All of you please leave the room.”
At this time, she needed a quiet environment.
The doctor and waiters silently left. Damon walked to the door and told Ben in a deep voice, “Go and check if there is anything unusual about her falling into the water.”
“Okay.” Ben quickly agreed.
After Ben left, Damon closed the door of the room and walked to the bedside.
Adele lay on the bed with her eyes closed.
Damon pulled a chair over and sat down beside the bed. “How are you now?” he asked.
Adele did not answer. She only pulled the blanket over and covered her head.
