Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

“Adele, why are you still pretending at a time like this?” Corine looked at her expression and was even angrier.

“Corine, I really don’t know what you are talking about…”

“Don’t know? Alright, I’ll show it to you!” Corine said. She opened the chat group on her phone and placed it on the table.

Adele hesitated and picked up the phone. When she saw the photo on the phone, her expression changed.

The photo showed that she and Damon were at the gate of Melody Club last night. It was taken by a candid camera, however, she could recognize Damon and her. In the photo, she was pulling the corner of the man’s clothes intimately.

If she was with someone else, everyone would just gossip, but the person was Yusuf Group’s executive president, Damon! These photos could naturally stir up a storm inside the company.

Adele took a deep breath. Obviously, she did not expect that she and Damon would be snapped pictures secretly, and she did not expect that these photos had already spread in the company!

She put down the phone, took a deep breath, and whispered, “I met Mr. Yusuf yesterday, but it was just a coincidence. He helped me solve a problem. I wanted to thank him at that time… Nothing else.”

After that, she lowered her head, and her mood was complicated.

She did not want to lie, but her relationship with Damon could not be disclosed. Once it was publicized, it would definitely affect Damon. So, in desperation, she could only lie.

Hearing this, Corine stared at her for a while, and finally asked, “You did not pester him?”

“No,” Adele said with certainty.

“Since you didn’t, then you have to find a way to explain it clearly. In the company, this matter has already caused a very bad influence. I also don’t want to listen to the colleagues in the department whispering to each other and affect my work. Do you understand?”

“I understand,” Adele nodded in agreement.

“Alright, you can leave now,” Corine said as she waved her hand.

Adele walked out of the conference room a little depressed and walked towards her office. Only now did she understand why everyone looked at her so strangely when she first entered the conference room.

It turned out that everyone knew that she was the only one who was kept in the dark.

Adele suddenly thought of something. She took out her mobile phone, opened WeChat, and checked all kinds of company groups. Sure enough, the speculation about her relationship with Damon had exploded in the group. Some people said that it was because she was pestering Damon that he made an exception and promoted her in order to send her away.

It was the first time that Adele knew gossip was a fearful thing.

When she passed by the office of the Administrative Department, she felt that her colleagues were secretly glancing at her. There was low meaningful laughter.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Adele took a deep breath and just wanted to walk away quickly to escape this place, but someone stopped her at this time.

“Adele.”

Adele looked over and saw Grace holding a document in the middle of the public office, staring at her.

“Grace, what’s the matter?” she asked, pretending to be calm.

“Yes.” Grace handed the document to a colleague and walked over to her. “There is a lot of work in the department recently. I urgently need you to help me share the burden. But I’m not sure yet. How is your progress? Is the holiday gift box order confirmed?”

The arrangement of the holiday gift box was a job for her. It was a good thing for the other employees in the company. When other colleagues heard Grace mention this matter, they all perked up their ears to eavesdrop.

Adele reported truthfully, “It’s about time. It has been confirmed. We will cooperate with Corecords Company. I will take the time to talk to them about the details and then we can sign the contract.”

Grace originally thought that Adele wouldn’t be able to answer. After all, the task this time was not simple. However, she did not expect that not only did Adele answer her, but she had also completed most of the work.

She was stunned and then sneered coldly, “Is that so?” Corecords Company’s boss is not easy to deal with. We don’t have a lot of budgets. I wonder if you can give everyone a surprise this year. ”

“The gift box is about corporate welfare. I can’t guarantee whether it’s a surprise or not, but I can be sure that it won’t be worse than last year’s.” Adele said softly.

The gift box she finally confirmed included the most popular products this year, but in the end, it was just a token of her appreciation. She couldn’t guarantee that everyone would like it.

“Adele, why don’t you tell us how you completed this task alone? So we can all learn from you.” Grace smiled and suddenly asked.

When she said this, someone next to her agreed, “Yes. We can learn!”

There was a different voice in the voice, “Learn? I guess she annoyed them and made them agree!”.

As soon as someone said this, the colleagues burst into laughter.

Adele stood where she was, too clear about the meaning of their words. They were mocking her and secretly pointing out the matter of her pestering Damon.

Hearing this, Grace also tried to hold back her laughter. She raised her eyebrows and deliberately asked Adele, “Is it true, Adele?”.

Under everyone’s gaze, Adele’s cheeks burned. She bit her lips, turned around, and walked quickly to the office.

When she returned to the office, Adele was in an extremely bad mood, but there was nothing she could do.

She didn’t know who had taken those photos, nor did she know who had exposed them. Even if she tried to think of a way to delete the photos now, it would be useless. Now that everyone in the company knew about it, what could she do?

A day passed in a blur. When it was time to get off work, Adele deliberately left half an hour late to avoid the peak hours so as not to be judged by everyone.

Seeing that there were fewer people in the company, Adele packed up and prepared to get off work. Just as she walked to the elevator, she saw her colleague, Shirley, from the same department.

Shirley saw her and asked, “Adele, were you working overtime too?”

“Yes,” Adele nodded. “I was finishing some work.”

Coincidentally, the elevator arrived. Shirley pulled her into the elevator. There were only the two of them in the elevator. When the elevator door closed, Shirley could not help but ask, “Adele, the rumors in the group should not be true, right?”

Previously, Adele had a good relationship with Shirley. At this time, she could not help but explain softly, “I just happened to meet Mr. Yusuf. He helped me. It’s not like what they said. Don’t think too much about it.”

Hearing this, Shirley nodded seriously. “I didn’t think too much about it, but now the colleagues in the company are talking nonsense. If this goes on, it will have a bad impact on you!”

“And…”

Shirley still wanted to say something else but stopped.

“And what?” Adele frowned and turned to look at her.

“And if the higher-ups and shareholders of the company hear about it, I’m afraid it will affect Mr. Yusuf…”

When Adele heard this, her heart skipped a beat. It was as if a large rock had suddenly pressed down on her chest.

If this matter had only affected her, it was fine, but it would also affect Damon!

If this matter brought unnecessary trouble to Damon, she would definitely feel bad!
