Chapter 26 Back to the Company
Mary understood and nodded with a smile. Then, she quietly left the room.
“Get up and drink the soup.” Damon reached out his hand and patted Adele on the cheek.
Adele was so drunk that she frowned and turned her head away, completely ignoring him.
It seemed that it was impossible for her to get up and drink by herself. Damon took his hand out of the woman’s hand, picked up the bowl and spoon, and fed it to her mouth.
When Adele smelled it, she frowned and refused to open her mouth.
“You really don’t want to drink?” Damon’s eyebrows twitched. He had never advised anyone like this. If it were someone else, he would have lost his patience long ago.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Adele seemed to be shocked by the man’s sudden serious tone. She shook her head and opened her eyes slightly. “Yes, I do…” she whispered.
Under Damon’s half-coaxing and half-frightened state, Adele drank more than half a bowl of sobering soup. In the end, she could not resist the invasion of sleepiness and fell into a deep sleep.
Damon glanced at the person who was sleeping soundly on the bed and then heaved a sigh of relief. He quietly left the room and closed the door.
Just as he was about to return to his bedroom to rest, his phone suddenly rang. “Hey, Mr. Yusuf, Miss Moore had a nightmare just now. She cried and shouted that she wanted to see you.”
When Damon heard this, the hand holding the phone suddenly tightened. He frowned and almost did not pause at all. He immediately said, “I’ll go over now!”
After hanging up the phone, he picked up his suit jacket and rushed out. His back finally disappeared into the darkness of the night.
The next day, when the first ray of sunlight shone into the room, Adele turned over and opened her eyes.
Her head was heavy and a little painful. She raised her hand to rub her temples and sat up.
What happened yesterday? She could not remember anything.
It seemed that she had really drunk a lot last night!
Adele sighed, got up, and walked to the bathroom.
Coming out of the bathroom, she strolled to the first floor. Coincidentally, Mary had already prepared breakfast.
“Young Madam, come quickly. Breakfast is ready.”
“Where is Damon?” Adele asked as she glanced around but did not see Damon.
“Young Master left last night. He seemed to be in a hurry for something.” Mary walked over and pulled Adele towards the dining table. “With Young Master’s status, it is normal for him to be busy. I think he is quite concerned about you. Yesterday, when you were drunk, he was the one who took care of you…”
“Ah? He took care of me?” Adele asked in surprise.
Had she done something out of line last night?
Thinking of this, Adele immediately felt scared. For some reason, even her back felt cold.
It would be fine if she went crazy in front of Ms. Henderson, Professor Wes, or her friends, but Damon, she really did not dare to imagine the scene at that time…
“I have never seen Young Master treat someone so nicely!” Mary did not notice the change in Adele’s expression. She smiled and pulled her to sit at the table.
Adele blushed. It was unknown whether she was ashamed or shy. In the end, she smiled and did not answer. She lowered her head and began to eat porridge.
“By the way, Young Madam, do you have any plans today?”
When Adele heard this, her movements suddenly paused.
She had planned to return to the company to work today.
From the day of her accident until now, several days had passed, and the wound on her neck was almost healed. Moreover, she was alone at home. It would be better to go to the company to work.
“I plan to go back to the company to work today,” Adele smiled at Mary.
Even though she had already gotten her certificate with Damon, she knew very well that she could not rely on Damon for the rest of her life.
After breakfast, Adele simply packed up and immediately rushed to the company.
When she arrived at the office area of the department, some colleagues saw her and their expressions were complicated.
Adele pursed her lips.
She had just been promoted a few days ago, and then she had not come to work for several days. The colleagues in the department must have all kinds of suspicions.
After putting her things on the desk, Adele went directly to the department head Corine’s office to report.
When she entered, Corine was talking to another department assistant, Grace Clasen.
When Corine saw Adele standing at the door, she waved to her. “Come here.”
“Corine, I’m back at the company. I’m here to report to you,” Adele said.
“I know. Since you’re here, let’s listen together. Adele, if you have anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask Grace. Do you understand?” Corine nodded.
“Corine, I understand,” Adele agreed immediately.
“Alright, I’ve already told Grace about the most important work in the department. Grace, take Adele and familiarize her with the specific situation,” Corine said with a calm expression.
“Alright, Corine, don’t worry.”
Grace smiled kindly. As she spoke, she turned to look at Adele and smiled at her. “Adele, come with me.”
Previously, Adele had been a small clerk in the department, and she hadn’t had much contact with Grace, who seemed to be very easy-going.
Adele secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded and immediately followed her. “Alright, thank you, Sister Grace.”
The two of them walked out of Corine’s office side by side. Then, Grace took her to the side. “From today onwards, you have your own office. You can move over after packing up your things.”
Looking at the spacious and bright office, Adele was secretly delighted.
“Thank you, Grace. About the work that Corine mentioned just now, may I ask…”
As soon as Adele mentioned work, Grace’s face suddenly darkened. The expression on her face was no longer as kind as before.
She took out a document from the folder in her hand and placed it on the desk. “This is the employee welfare list. You have to buy all the things on the list. This is your first job.”
Adele glanced at the document and agreed with some excitement. “Okay, leave this to me!”
Grace looked at Adele who had turned around and left, and a trace of coldness flashed through her eyes.
Every time it was a holiday, she would have a headache. The funds given by the company were limited, and the prices of the gifts were rising all the time. Now that Adele had just been promoted, she naturally had to throw this hot potato at her.
Once Adele messed up this matter, not only would this matter not be blamed on her, but it might even lead Adele directly to resign and leave!
