Chapter 15 Congratulations
“It’s fine.” Adele was focused on the ring and did not notice the change on Jacquelin’s face.
“Adele, you’re married? When did this happen?” Jacquelin tilted her head and asked curiously.
During the internship at the company, Jacquelin had a general understanding of everyone in the department. Previously, Adele had been single and did not even have a boyfriend. Now, she suddenly wore a wedding ring. It was really strange.
Adele also knew that this matter was strange, but she could not tell the truth.
Besides, even if she said that she went on a blind date with Yusuf Group’s president and that she was chosen…
No one would believe her.
After thinking for a moment, Adele simply said, “I went on a blind date. It was very recent.”
Then, Adele lowered her head and continued to deal with her work.
Seeing that Adele did not say much, Jacquelin did not ask more.
About twenty minutes later, Adele finally finished organizing the handover. Then, she printed it out and handed it to Jacquelin.
“Thank you, Adele,” Jacquelin said sweetly as she took the document.
Then, Jacquelin looked at the time and realized that it was time for lunch. She said to Adele, “Adele, I still don’t understand some things. How about we eat together and I can ask you some questions?”
“I’m really afraid of making mistakes and not being able to pass the internship.” She was afraid that Adele wouldn’t agree.
She frowned and looked at Adele pitifully.
In this regard, Adele could not refuse Jacquelin, so she readily agreed to Jacquelin’s request.
At Hotel River.
“Jackie, are we having lunch here?”
Hotel River had the top restaurant in the city. Whether it was the decoration or the food, it was all luxurious.
Jacquelin was walking in front of Adele, leading the way.
When she heard Adele say this, she immediately turned around and grabbed Adele’s arm, saying with a smile, “Yes, I have already booked a private room just now.”
“But, isn’t it too expensive?” Adele still felt that it was a bit inappropriate.
It was just lunch. Why waste so much money?
“Adele, I want to thank you for all your help. Besides, I’ve already made a reservation. It would be a waste if we don’t eat here.” As Jacquelin spoke, she inadvertently tightened her grip on Adele’s wrist.
She was deeply afraid that Adele would run away.
At this point, Adele’s attention was focused on how much the meal was going to cost, so she didn’t notice Jacqueline’s little gesture.
Seeing that Adele did not speak, Jacquelin hurriedly pulled Adele into the room.
After entering the private room, Adele was once again shocked by the decoration.
For a private room to be built so extravagantly, it was almost gorgeous.
Adele looked at Jacquelin with speculative eyes, thought for a while, and said, “Jackie, you are not a rich second generation, are you?”
Jacquelin smiled at Adele but did not answer her question, as if she had tacitly agreed.
Seeing this, Adele felt a little relieved.
If Jacquelin was an ordinary person, she would definitely not eat here. After all, it was not worthwhile to eat a meal with two months’ salary.
“Adele, sit. What do you want to eat?” After sitting next to Adele, Jacquelin handed the menu to Adele.
Adele took it and opened it to take a look. The first thing she saw was the prices. She could not help but take a deep breath.
The cheapest one was four digits.
It was like eating gold!
“Jackie, let’s go somewhere else.” The price on the menu really hurt Adele’s eyes.
“Adele, it’s my treat. Don’t worry.” Jacquelin took the menu from Adele with a smile.
As Jacquelin flipped through the menu, she ordered the dishes.
At this time, Adele felt a rush of urine.
There was a bathroom in the room, so Adele got up and went.
There were already a few dishes and drinks on the table when she got out.
Just as she sat down, Jacquelin raised the juice and said to her, “Adele, congratulations on your promotion!”.
Adele’s heart warmed. She picked up the juice beside her hand and clinked it with Jacquelin’s glass. “Jackie, thank you.”.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Then, she only took a small sip and put down the cup.
Jacquelin’s eyes were fixed on Adele. Seeing that she only took a sip, she was a little anxious.
Therefore, she raised her glass of juice and drank it all in one go. Then, she raised her empty glass and showed it to Adele.
“Adele, go ahead and finish your drink! And then let’s enjoy the meal!”
Adele felt that what Jacquelin said made sense. Moreover, the juice had no alcohol in it. At most, she would swell her stomach after drinking it, so she did not think too much about it. She picked up the juice again and finished the rest in one go.
The corners of Jacquelin’s mouth rose slightly, and then she looked at the time without any expression.
