Chapter 92 Adrian Helped a Lot
I suddenly blushed. I knew that Armand was going to talk about that night. If it was possible, I really wanted to delete my memory about that night. Unfortunately, I couldn't do that. "What do you mean?" I could only force myself to listen to him.
Armand looked at me and said, "Ms. Cornell, I really didn't expect you to do such a thing that night!"
I blushed even more. I wish I could delete Armand's memory as well.
"But, thank you!"
"What?" I thought I misheard, but Armand gave a respectful bow to me and thanked me.
"Ms. Cornell, Mr. Charles had been cold and indifferent ever since he was a kid. I've followed since I was young, but I've never seen Mr. Charles interested in anything. However, that night, you took Mr. Charles to that kind of place for dinner. In the end, you were even drunk and kept talking with Mr. Charles by holding his hands. If this happened before, Mr. Charles would have thrown you into the Pacific Ocean. You wouldn't even have lived for an hour. But that night, Mr. Charles didn't do that. Moreover...." A trace of peacefulness and gratification appeared on Armand's face.
"What?" I couldn't help but ask.
"I can feel that Mr. Charles is gradually becoming gentle and more like a human!" Armand smiled at me.
Bang!
I didn't know if it was my own illusion and I felt my heart beat violently. I laughed in panic, "I, I was rude that night. And I should thank Mr. Charles for not arguing with me. Otherwise, I won't be able to survive!" I didn't want to recall that night, so I hurriedly bid farewell to Armand. However, when I walked to the elevator, I stopped and asked him, "Armand, after I got drunk that night, I mean, how did I get back?" I remembered everything that happened before I got drunk, but after I passed out, I didn't know anything until I woke up in bed and Marlon barged in. Besides, Marlon also told me that I was drunk. "Afterwards...." The expression of Armand was a little strange and complicated. He seemed to be very happy, but unbelievable at the same time. His expression was so dramatic, completely different from what he usually looked like.
"Armand, have you finished all you job?" Before Armand could say something, the office door suddenly opened. Kieran came out and glanced coldly at Armand, "Since you have nothing to do right now, you can go handle the business in Africa!" Then he turned around and closed the door again.
Armand's face twitched fiercely. He looked pitiful and said to me, "Mr. Charles is angry. Ms. Cornell, I'm leaving!" He went straight down the stairs.
I, "..."
I looked at the tightly shut office door and stopped thinking about that night. None of these things mattered. Since Kieran refused to help, everything had to be settled by myself. But I didn't blame him at all. In this world, we should deal with our own business. If you were in trouble, the only person you could rely on was yourself.
The first thing to do was to solve the project.
I left Kieran's office, but I didn't go to my own department. Instead, I went straight to Adrian.
When I thought of Adrian, I feel a little uneasy. Adrian was the only one who knew about my pregnancy. Although he promised me not to tell anyone, will he really kept his promise?
At least now, Adrian didn't tell anyone, including Kieran and Marlon.
I found Adrian's residence based on my intuition. I didn't have his contact information and could only rely on luck. Fortunately, I managed to find it.
"Adrian!" I shouted at the door, but I after a long time, no one answered. Just as I was about to give up, the door opened.
Adrian stood in front of me with a sleepy expression. His hair was in a total mess. He felt aggrieved when he saw me "Rachael, so it's you. Why do you come so early?"
To be honest, I just wanted to chance my luck and came to Adrian. I never thought that he, who always had a busy schedule, would actually be at home.
Followed Adrian into the house, I felt perturbed. Although I found him, would Adrian help me?
I didn't know anything about designing clothes or shoes. I hadn't had any knowledge about them at all. However, the R&C clearly stipulated that all products must be designed by me alone. If someone else designed others, there would be a penalty for breach of contract.
In this world, apart from Adrian, I didn't know who I could ask for help.
"Rachael, long time no see. I miss you so much!" Suddenly, Adrian hugged me and acted like a spoiled child.
I froze. I had never been so intimate with anyone since I was young. To be more exact, since I was young, no one was willing to stay close with me. They treated me as trash. Therefore, I had developed a personality that I didn't know how to be intimate with others.
"Rachael, you smell so good!" Adrian rubbed against my arms and looked at me with his wet eyes. "Rachael, I'm hungry. I really want to eat the noodles you cook. You can't imagine how much I miss the noodles you cook!"
Looking at Adrian's clear eyes, I suddenly relaxed. I smiled at him, "Then you wait here. I'll cook for you now!"
There used to be so many times when I looked at Davidson, I hoped that my beloved Davidson would one day grow into a man who was sunny, healthy, clean, and gentle.
Just like Adrian!
Looking at the noodles in the pot, I thought that there should be a special relation between Adrian and me, so that I could see Davidson on him and we could become so intimate. "Rachael, are you done? I'm so hungry!" Adrian was really like a child.
"Almost. Wait a moment!" I said gently and put two eggs into the noodles. The perturbation just now disappeared and I felt reassured.
After the noodles were done, I placed the noodles on the table. Adrian took the bowl as if he was hungry for many days and ate like a horse. Suddenly, he turned around and showed me a big smile.
I felt like my heart bump into the sun, so warm and brilliant, which drove away all my haze last night.
It felt so good.
"Rachael, what happened to your face?" After Adrian finished his noodles, he stared at me with a cold expression.
I turned away unnaturally. I didn't know how much Adrian, a friend of Kieran, knew about me, but there were some things I didn't want to tell him the truth.
I smiled and shook my head, "Nothing. I just fell over!"
Adrian's expression was exceptionally cold, "Rachael, you need to find a good excuse if you want to lie. The injury on your face definitely can't be caused by a 'fall over'. The cross-sectional angle is completely wrong!"
I was dumbfounded. How could I forget that this man, who looked like a child, was actually Kieran's friend? He couldn't be so innocent and gullible. I didn't speak again because I didn't know what to say. "Rachael, I know why you come to me. Before that, I want to tell you something else!" Adrian said seriously.
I was stunned, and I didn't know what to do. I never thought that Adrian would know why I came to him.
"I saw those photos. They are really so... so erotic!" Adrian said.0000000
