Chapter 1210
Kendal went into the elevator leading to the office of Adrain. She pushed open the office door to see Aubrie chatting intimately with Adrian.
Adrian raised up his eyes and shot a casual glance at Kendal. The glance lasted less than one second, and Kendal should feel blessed that Adrian didn't throw up out of his office. Aubrie knew this Miss Reid, who was famous for her arrogance and boldness in the upper class. Kendal went after Adrian from childhood and treated others any way she pleased.
Kendal knew Aubrie too. The Reid family was not so good as the Fultons, but Kendal was a straight-A student with double degrees from an elite university. She worked in Empire Group now. She impressed others with a pet phrase, that was, no one was a good match for her, except Adrian.
The two celebrities in the upper class finally met each other today. They seemed calm in this meeting.
"Adrian, see you later since your guest is here." Aubrie adopted a policy of conciliation to get Adrian, who just became single not long ago.
Without raising up his eyes, Adrian gave a short
and low hum as response.
"Adrian, long time no see. Do you miss me?" It was the first time for Kendal to come to Adrian after her last conflict with Aleigha. Kendal asked with full expectation.
Adrian remained silent and looked at the documents.
There were three knocks on the door, and the secretary came in, "Miss Xiao, Miss Aleigha Gardner is waiting for you downstairs."
The sweet voice ruined all of Kendal's fantasies.
Aleigha, how can she still have the face to come!' Adrian paused and frowned, "Show her up here." Out of agitation, he dropped the pen in his hand. Kendal mistook his movements as sighs that Adrian disliked and hated Aleigha.
If possible, Aleigha would have avoided this visit, but the dividend problem pestered her. She came for the benefit of her business.
Now, her reputation was not any better than that of the Gardner family. And she tried her best to cause a misunderstanding that she came to seduce Adrian.
No one cared how Adrian behaved that night. And the gossips focused on the fact that Adrain started the disengagement, and the Gardner family was in disgrace. Aleigha was a little nervous, following the secretary upstairs.
Upon her entry into the office, she saw Kendal, who was sitting gloatingly on the sofa.
Aleigha turned cold immediately and regained her calmness in front of Adrian.
Aleigha was getting closer and closer, and Adrain kept listening to the sound of her footsteps. Finally, she stopped in front of him, but Adrain didn't look up.
"I come for business, and please send people without duty out." Aleigha sounded could.
Adrian was confused by the anger in her voice.
"That's your business attitude?"
He looked up at Aleigha. A few days had passed since that night. Aleigha remained the same, attracting his full attention easily.
"What's wrong with it?" Aleigha was displeased. She shot a glance at Kendal from the corner of her eye, telling Adrian that her displeasure resulted from that annoying woman. "You can leave now. I have something to discuss with Miss Gardner." Adrian's tone was calm and businesslike.
Kendal refused to leave and sat on the sofa like a
jack.
"There won't be a third time. Get the hell out of here!" Adrian sounded bad, and there was some anger in his tone.
After a shiver, Kendal ran away from the office.
After the door was closed, Aleigha pulled out the chair in front of the desk.
"I come for the dividends. I should get some dividends at the end of this year."
'This woman come for the dividends only?!'
'What a big heart!'
"The product was released not long ago, and there is more than one week before the new year comes. You demand the dividends now? What do you think of me, a fool?" business was business, and Adrian was never interested in bad bargain.
"Listen carefully. I should get some dividends at the end of this year, and this clause is not clear on the contract. So, I am here for further discussion. I am not demanding a liquidation at the end of this year." Aleigha was snappish.
Adrian withdraw his gazes and walked over.
"Why are you coming over?" Aleigha got up alertly. She retreated to the door before Adrian got her.
Adrian smiled evilly, and a hint of playfulness flashed across his eyes, "Why are you running? I won't eat you, anyway."
"A man of honour reasons things out and does not resort to force. Stay where you are." Aleigha felt nervous, 'There must be something wrong with this man today!'
Ignoring her warning, Adrian strode
forward. Suddenly, he reached out to
embrace Aleigha. Their eyes met, and their lips almost crushed
Aleigha hastened to push him away. en.swhovels.net
"Let go of me, what are you doing in this broad daylight?"
Without a word, Adrian locked Aleigha's hands behind her back. Then, he threw her onto the sofa with some force.
"What am I doing? I am single now! I can do whatever I want!"Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
'Do whatever he wants?'
Aleigha groaned in her heart, 'This man doesn't recover from the blow yet. I will be eaten alive if I fail to escape now." Getting up, she intended to run, but Adrian moved more swiftly than she did. Aleigha was dragged back soon.
Things were getting worse. This time Adrian locked Aleigha on the sofa with his body, and she couldn't move at all. "Adrian, get off." Aleigha tried to struggle, but her body was immobilized.
"Get off? Aleigha Gardner, you heartless woman, you made me become a laughing stock for in town!"
"How dare you talk about dividends now! Woman, you are too bold."
Aleigha snorted coldly, "Shut up! You asked for trouble for yourself! How dare you blame me now? Let go! I have to leave now."
"Leave? Where are you going? Are you so naive to think that you still have a chance to leave here? Aleigha, I slighted you. You are more scheming than those women." 'Scheming? You made me so!' Aleigha protested in her heart.
She fell silent. Adrian was enraged by such an inadvertence. He pinched her chin and looked at her coldly, "Woman, I dare you to ignore me!"
Aleigha felt hurt on her chin. She glared at Adrian, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Adrian's heart skipped a beat. His heart ached for Aleigha and let go of her quickly.
"What else can you do? You boor!" 'Did she call me a boor?!'
Adrian found it both funny and annoying but the anger in his heart already died away, "You tricked me to break off the engagement. When you're old enough, we will go get the marriage certificates directly."
"Are you out of your mind? Don't you understand all I did? I don't want to marry you!"
Aleigha felt that this man was hopeless.
"Oh? Not marrying me? I'd like to see which man dares to marry you."
"You, despicable and shameless."
