Chapter 314 She Tried Her Best to Protect Her
In less than ten minutes, the door of the reception room opened and Damon walked out. His face was gloomy and cold, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He glanced coldly at the people standing outside, and his eyes did not stay long. Soon, he turned around and looked at Director Huang behind him.
“Sorry, Director Huang, I let you see a joke. Today, there is an emergency situation in the company that needs to be dealt with, so I can’t accompany you. I will do it another day. Let’s have a good chat.”
Director Huang smiled and waved his hand, “It’s okay. It’s a small matter. We will arrange the time for the cooperation. We will go first today.”
The two of them exchanged a few words before Director Huang left with his assistant. Damon stood at the door with an ugly expression on his face.
When he was silent, the department assistant and the other secretaries who came over to apply for a meeting also did not dare to breathe too loudly, waiting for him to speak first.
His gaze swept past Adele, and he turned to Ben behind him. “Go arrange for a meeting.”
“Yes.” Ben swiftly went to make arrangements.
Then, she looked at Adele and said, “Come in with me.”
Adele hesitated for a moment, her hands hanging by her side slightly tightened, and she strode forward to follow.
When she entered the office and the door closed, Adele’s heart suddenly sank a little.
Without waiting for her to raise her head and explain, the man’s cold voice suddenly sounded, “Why are you with him!”
Adele’s body tightened. She looked up at him in surprise. When she saw the thin layer of anger in the man’s eyes, she gasped and replied, “We… we met by chance.”
“When we met, we had to go shopping together, eat together, and then send you home?” Damon was angry. He stepped forward and suddenly approached her, “Adele, do you not know what is called being reserved!”
She said that she was innocent. He could believe her, but others were different! There were so many people in the company, so many pairs of eyes and mouths were open. Everyone saw the photos. No matter if it was a secret shot or not, she and Kevin had been close to each other! Everyone would suspect that she was the murderer who leaked the proposal. At that time, even if he wanted to protect her, there was nothing he could do!
Adele was shocked by the sudden anger of the man. Her body trembled, and the blood all over her body was boiling. When she came back to her senses, she felt humiliated.
She gritted her teeth. “Is it not reserved to go shopping with the opposite sex? Then have we already reached the stage of debauchery?”
Hearing this, Damon’s eyebrows tightened. The surging anger rushed to his throat and finally retreated fiercely.
He stared into Adele’s eyes and lowered his voice. “You clearly know that you and Kevin are very sensitive to the leaking of the proposal. Why do you still have no scruples to contact him?”
If she was like this, how could he help her?
Adele’s heart tightened and she was speechless.
She and Kevin had indeed come across each other by chance. When they were eating together, she did not think too much about it. She thought that Damon had been punished by the family, and she had also been whipped. This matter had passed just like that, but she did not expect…
At this moment, Ben’s voice came from the door. “Mr. Yusuf, everything has been arranged. Most of the shareholders and higher-ups have arrived. We are waiting for you.”
Damon took a deep breath and responded. She turned to look at Adele. Seeing her pair of black and bright eyes, she hesitated a little and said, “You and Kevin…”
Adele already knew what he wanted to say in his heart. He said word by word firmly, “There is really nothing between him and me, and I did not leak the proposal to him.”
“Okay, I will try my best.” Damon’s eyes were dark and gloomy.
I will try my best to protect her.
After that, he turned around and walked out with his slender legs. When he reached the door, he said, “Come with me.”
Adele took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and followed him.
This attack from the high-ranking shareholders would come sooner or later.
Walking out of the president’s office, Adele followed Damon to the conference room. When she arrived at the door of the conference room, she could still hear the noisy sounds of gongs and drums, but when the tall man in front of her walked into the room, all the voices stopped abruptly.
She followed him in and met the complicated gazes of everyone. Her heart tightened and she unconsciously felt a little nervous.
The people in the conference room were all familiar faces to Adele, but for some reason, when she faced their gazes now, she felt as if her entire body had been seen through.
“As per your request, I am here for a meeting.”
Damon walked straight to the main seat and sat down, looking down at everyone with cold eyes.
There was a moment of silence in the meeting. A moment later, a somewhat embarrassed man spoke first. “Mr. Yusuf, when the proposal was just leaked, you said that you would give us an explanation. But up until now, none of us have waited!”
As he spoke, he even glanced at Adele, intentionally or unintentionally.
“Yes, although the company is stable now, after this incident, it has also lost a lot. These mistakes must be borne by someone.”
“Yes, that’s right!”
“…”
There was a small sound, and everyone looked at Adele intentionally or unintentionally. The meaning was self-evident.
A bold department head said, “Mr. Yusuf, this matter really needs to give everyone an explanation. The project of seven hundred million went down the drain just like that. Moreover, it was because our company had a traitor and sent it to everyone through the company’s email. If we don’t give an explanation now, I’m afraid that everyone in the company won’t be able to accept it.”
Damon frowned and his face became a little colder.
Right now, he was very clear about the intentions of everyone. Because of the leak of the project proposal, everyone had a knot in their hearts and could not find anyone to vent their anger on. Now that the email was suddenly sent out, the first person that everyone suspected was definitely Adele. This was beyond doubt.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“I said that I would give you an explanation, but it does not mean that I will casually push someone out to take the blame,” Damon said coldly.
“Mr. Yusuf, things have already developed to this point. Everyone is clear in their hearts, and there is no need to protect anyone.”
Damon raised his chin slightly, and the cold light in his eyes shot over like a cold arrow. “Tell me, who did I protect?”
When he asked this, the person immediately fell silent. He glanced at Adele and did not dare to answer.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Damon straightened his back and said in a loud voice, “The company’s email system was suddenly hacked and sent out such a pointing email. What if someone deliberately discredited it? Does everyone also have to point at the deer for the black and white of the horse?”
Moreover, there were indeed many doubts when this email appeared. Moreover, it was really a bit unreasonable to decide a person’s crime with just these photos.
For a moment, the conference room was silent.
After a long while, that Xie Ding suddenly looked at Kobei, who had been silent all this time. “Deputy Director Yu, what do you think about this matter?”
Kobei seemed to have a kind of magic power that made people ignore him. When he did not speak, no one noticed him. Now that he was mentioned, everyone looked at him.
Everyone knew that Damon and Kobei were not on good terms. Now that they threw this problem to Kobei, it was obvious that they were somewhat selfish to watch the fun.
Kobei smiled and looked up at Damon, who was sitting in the main seat. His eyes were complicated.
“I can’t say for sure,” he said calmly.
