Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

The pain she imagined did not fall on her face, but she heard a deep and powerful voice, “What? Is a slap not enough?”

Adele suddenly opened her eyes, and a tall and tall figure came into view. Damon stood in front of her, and a powerful arm grabbed the woman’s wrist.

The woman was stunned. Obviously, she recognized Damon. She paused for a moment, and then angrily pulled her hand out of his hand and said harshly, “Mr. Yusuf, even if you come today, I have to do what I have to do!”

“Madam Xu, is it really appropriate for you to make such a fuss at work hours?” Damon asked in a cold voice.

Madam Xu’s face turned cold. She snorted and wanted to argue, but Damon took a step forward and asked in a deep voice, “Shouldn’t Madam Xu ask Mr. Williams about this first?”

This sentence made Madam Xu speechless. She rolled her eyes and looked at Adele coldly. “We already have the photos. Can’t we explain it?”

“But what if everything is really a misunderstanding? How are you going to take responsibility for that slap just now?” Damon’s eyes were cold.

“I…”

Madam Xu’s face immediately paled.

Seeing that she could not speak, Damon continued to speak coldly, “I will investigate this matter. If the situation is true, I will definitely give Madam Xu a satisfactory answer. But if it is really a misunderstanding, then Madam Xu must be mentally prepared. You need to give her an answer.”

Saying this in front of so many people without blaming her at all, Damon had already given Madam Xu enough face. She knew that it would be even worse if she continued to cause trouble. After that, she resentfully rolled her eyes and agreed, “Since Mr. Yusuf has already spoken, then I can’t say anything more.”

“But.” She glanced at Adele. Her expression changed and her voice became colder. If the situation is true and Mr. Yusuf can’t do what he says, then don’t blame me for being ruthless!

After saying this, she turned around and walked through the crowd.

Adele stood behind Damon, her face burning with pain. Her heart felt like it was pressed down by a big stone and she couldn’t breathe.

Damon glanced at the people who were still standing in the same place and said nothing, but his cold eyes already had an invisible deterrence.

When the others saw this, they immediately understood. They exchanged a few glances and quickly dispersed.

Watching the crowd disperse, Adele bit her lips. She silently turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

Now that Madam Xu had caused such a ruckus, everyone in the various departments knew about it. It was only a matter of time before it spread throughout the entire company. This time, even if she jumped into the Yellow River, she would not be able to wash herself clean.

A sense of bitterness welled up in her heart. Adele lowered her eyes and tears flowed down. Her cheeks also ached.

There were colleagues from the company everywhere. Adele took a deep breath and felt that she was about to lose her breath. When she saw the fire escape, she did not even think about it. She quickly walked in and went straight to the top floor.

“Adele!”

Damon’s voice came from behind. Adele’s body trembled. For some reason, not only did he not stop, he even quickened his pace.

Yesterday, it was Damon who sent her home. Then he could completely prove her innocence. But just now, he did not mention anything about what happened last night. Was he afraid that others would misunderstand their relationship?

Waves of sorrow welled up in his heart. Adele quickened his pace and quickly wanted to escape.

Suddenly, her wrist tightened. At the corner of the stairs, she was pulled back by someone. A force pushed her to the side and blocked her in the corner.

The man’s breath hit her in the face and directly wrapped her up. Her face was lifted up by Damon. The distance between the two of them tightened. Their eyes met and they could smell each other.

“Why are you running?” His hoarse voice carried a hint of anger.

Even if he ran, he could not solve any problems!Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Adele’s nose felt sour and tears welled up in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and forced herself not to let her tears fall.

The two of them looked at each other. Adele could almost feel the heat coming from his nose. “Why don’t you prove my innocence?”

Looking at the woman’s swollen face, Damon’s heart suddenly twitched. All kinds of words came to his mouth, but he could not say them.

Looking at her pure and flawless eyes, Damon felt a little distressed for some reason. “Sooner or later, I will return your innocence.”

It was not the right time yet.

Hearing this, Adele’s heart shrank. She reached out and pushed Damon’s hand away. “Why not today?”

She was too clear about the meaning of the four words, “People are afraid of people.” All kinds of gossip and rumors would be like a heavy mountain, and she would be suffocated before the truth was revealed.

A trace of struggle flashed through Damon’s eyes, but she still said, “Today… I can’t.”

He could not let his previous efforts go to waste just because of what happened today.

With one sentence, all of Adele’s hopes were shattered. She took a deep breath and took two steps back. The corners of her lips curled into a bitter smile. “Then forget it…”

From the beginning, she should not have had any hope for him. She had been disappointed many times, and in the end, there was no longer any hope.

Seeing her suddenly dim gaze, Damon felt complicated. Her tightly pursed lips lifted and she said softly, “Go home and rest for a few days. I will handle this matter.”

Adele went back to rest for a few days, so she could avoid Frank.

Adele lowered her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled and she paused for a few seconds. She seemed to have made up her mind. She reached out to take out a red cloth bag from her pocket and stuffed it directly into Damon’s hands. “This is back to you.”

“From now on, we don’t have any more entanglement.”

After saying this, she turned and left without waiting for Damon to speak.

Ever since she married him, her originally peaceful life had been disrupted. Now, she no longer wanted to have anything to do with him.

Watching Adele leave, Damon frowned. She looked down at the red cloth bag in her hand and frowned even more.

As soon as she returned to the department, Adele felt that everyone was looking at her strangely. Shirley got up from his seat and walked towards her. He lowered his voice and said, “Adele, the supervisor asked you to come back and find her.”

Adele took a deep breath, adjusted his condition, nodded at her, and walked towards the supervisor’s office.

Pushing open the door, Ms. Blunt heard the sound and looked up. Seeing that it was her, she sighed softly and said, “Go home and rest for the next two days. The higher-ups have informed you that you are allowed to take a vacation.”

“Thank you, Corine,” Adele nodded and said nothing.

Leaving the room, she went straight back to her office, packed up her things, and left the office under the watchful eyes of everyone.

With half of her face swollen, Adele would attract the attention of others no matter where she went. In the end, she simply put on a mask and blocked it tightly.

On the way home, she suddenly hesitated. If she went home with half of her swollen face, Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes would definitely keep nagging. At that time, she would have no way to explain.

Taking a deep breath, Adele went to the pharmacy on the side of the road to buy some medicine and cotton swab, bought instant noodles in the store, and directly went to Dream Hotel to open the room.

After finding an excuse to stall Ms. Henderson, Adele had to have some free time and boil hot water to soak the toilet.

Three minutes later, she picked up the disposable fork, stirred the instant noodles, and ate two mouthfuls. Her cheeks moved, and the pain came again.

When she looked up, she saw herself in the mirror. Her cheeks were red and swollen, and she was holding the instant noodles, looking pitiful and pathetic.

Adele’s nose was sore, and tears fell down.

How did she end up in such a miserable state?
