Chapter 361
Adam walked fast. Lumma used to trot to keep up with him. But now she was taking notes. She couldn’t care about both sides and bumped into a passer-by.
The person who collided with Lumma was a tall and strong man. Lumma bumped into his chest. Her nose hurt so badly that it seemed to be displaced.
“I’m sorry! Sorry!” Lumma held her nose and apologized. But the man refused to let her go. He pointed at her nose and cursed, still not relieved, and raised his hand to slap Lumma.
Lumma instinctively wanted to hide behind. But unexpectedly, the snowed ground was wet and slippery, she lost her footing. And the man was about to hit her face.
Adam grasped his hand firmly. Then, he pushed the man to the ground and fell to the ground. The man was still speaking something that Lumma could not understand.
Lumma couldn’t hear what Adam said. But judging from Adam’s sharp eyes and the gradually pale face of the strange man, they were definitely not friendly words.
The man got up from the ground and ran, looking back while running, as if there was a beast chasing behind him.
Adam looked at Lumma, his eyes were sharp as if he could see through her inside and out.
Lumma rubbed her sore nose. “Mr. Hills, thank you!”
Adam still didn’t say a word, turned around, and left.
Lumma continued to follow him.
After arriving at the office, Lumma prepared the materials and went to prepare the coffee for Adam as usual.
Leonard followed. “Lumma, do you and Mr. Hills argue again?”
Lumma said, “No.”
For Lumma, there was indeed no conflict between her and Adam. It was just that they had different social statuses and identities, and had different views on certain things.
“You didn’t have a conflict with Mr. Hills, so something else happened. Leonard rubbed his chin and thought for a while. “Could it be Mrs. Hills?”
Lumma looked back subconsciously and reminded him in a low voice. “Mr. Hills protect Mrs. Hills a lot. Mr. Marple in Hanton City can’t say a word about Mrs. Hills. You’d better not talk nonsense, and be careful not to trouble yourself.”
Leonard said, “If we can’t find out why Mr. Hills is angry, he will vent his anger on both of us every day. Today is Christmas. If he vents his anger now, the next year will be the same.”
Lumma smiled and said, “You, a top student who graduated from a famous school are still superstitious.”
“It’s not a superstition. It’s a custom. There’s a difference.” Leonard said. And his eyes suddenly widened. “Lumma, you have a nosebleed.”
Lumma hadn’t noticed it before he said. As soon as he said it, Lumma felt her nose warm. She reached out and wiped it. Her nose really bled. “Mr. Davies,
I’ve made the coffee. Please help me send it to Mr. Hills. I’m going to the bathroom to clean up.”
“Go quickly, leave this to me.” Leonard watched Lumma enter the bathroom before he picked up the coffee and sent it to Adam.
According to Adam’s habit, Leonard put the coffee in a fixed place. When he just stretched out his hand, Adam, who looked down at the document, suddenly raised his head. “Where’s Lumma?” Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Leonard was so frightened that his hands shook that he almost spilled the coffee. “She has a nosebleed. So she goes to the bathroom to clean it up first.”
Before he finished speaking, Leonard watched the usually calm and composed
Adam rush out of the office like a gust of wind.
“Mr. Hills, where are you going?” Leonard followed Adam subconsciously and saw Adam running towards the bathroom.
Leonard stopped walking and shook his head. Even a man like Adam still didn’t care about his image when he was in a hurry.
Leonard withdrew his gaze and planned to go back to his office. Laura happened to come and greeted him with a smile as usual. “Mr. Davies, long time no see.”
Leonard said, “Dr. Cohan, long time no see. Is Mr. Hills uncomfortable?
