Chapter 1110
After hurriedly brewing, Aleigha brought a cup of coffee to Adrian.
He was focusing on coding on his computer. He looked handsome usually, when working seriously, his beauty was doubled.
He could quickly reenter working conditions with such a wound. No wonder he could dominate the business world in no time.
It was inappropriate to only see others' success, the great effort they made for being successful was the same important to consider.
She was about to leave after putting down the coffee as she didn't want to disturb him. But he was too focused as if he didn't see it. If the coffee cooled off, he may order Aleigha to warm it up. "Mr. Xiao, the coffee." She couldn't help reminding.
Adrian seemed to be isolated from the world. Aleigha gently pushed him and asked, "Mr. Xiao?" Only then did he react. "It's ready?"
"Yes. Enjoy. If there's nothing else, I'll leave." Aleigha turned around to go, but Adrian pulled her into his arms.
Before she struggled, she was stopped by him. "Don't move, you'll break my wound." "Didn't you ask me to make afternoon tea? How can I do that if you keep me here?" "It's still early, just stay." Adrian hugged her while taking a sip of the drink. "Not bad." Aleigha sighed and asked him in her heart, "Are you a mysophobia freak or not?!" "Aren't you worried that I'll memorize your code?" Aleigha asked.
"Can you understand them?" Adrian caught the point.
Although being furious, Aleigha had to admit that she didn't understand the code. "Who, who said that I can't understand!" She was still pretending. "Even if you can understand, if you dare to reveal half a word, I will make it impossible for you to get off the bed this life." Adrian threatened her word by word. "Are you going to break my leg?"
"No, I'm going to f*ck you until you are crippled."
"You hooligan!" Aleigha turned her head. She didn't want to give one more look at those headache code.
She was trapped in Adrian's bosom and soon fall asleep due to feeling bored. After completing his work, he found that Aleigha was sleeping soundly.
He carried her to his bedroom and put her on the bed gently, looking at her sleeping face.
"We have just met, but why I'm so obsessed with you? Who the hell are you? What magic did you use on me?" Adrian thought.
"Young Master, Chairman hosts a banquet tonight, and he asked you to go back." Marc's voice came in.
Adrian stood up silently. For fearing waking Aleigha up, he left the room.
"Does the old master know it?"
"Yes, it should be Miss Reid who exposed the news. Darien should have known it too. What about our plan..."
"Damn Kendal," Adrian said in a cold low voice. He had made a plan and deliberately hid in Crimwood Mansion, unexpectedly, his plan was broken now.
"Young master, are you going?"
"How can I not go to the old master's banquet? Cancel the plan."
"Yes, Young Master. I'll go prepare it right away."
"By the way, take her with us." "Are you suspecting she works for Darien?" "Not really, but it's not ruled out." Adrian had been very suspicious of Aleigha, the woman who suddenly showed up. She knew all his habits including his developing software.
If she was not Darien's part, why would she be in the cave at the right time?
If she came for the software, how would she fall asleep after just taking a look at the code? As a spy, she couldn't be this unprofessional. Anyway, she was too strange.
Aleigha didn't wake up until four o'clock in the afternoon. She rubbed her eyes. "Dam* it, I should make afternoon tea for the demon!" She thought.
"Wake up? Get dressed and go to another place with me." Adrian said.
Aleigha had just woken up and was confused with his request. "Where?"
"You'll know when you are there." A glint flashed across Adrian's eyes.
He rang the bell, and soon the maids came in. "Young Master, the clothes are ready."
"Dress her up."
"Yes, sir."
Adrian turned around and left the
room, followed by a group of people walking in. Some of them were holding clothes, some were taking cosmetics, and some were carrying shoes. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
"Miss, please change clothes." One of the maids said and began to take off her clothes.
"No, no. I'll do it myself. Don't take off my clothes!" Aleigha was scared and hid in the quilt.
"We're leaving at five o'clock. Miss, you have to hurry up. You have ten minutes to take a bath."
Aleigha had no idea where she would go. She recalled the day when she returned Gardner's residence in the past life, and she attended a banquet that night.
It was a party with the Gardner
family, Reid family, and Xiao family
attending. Aleigha just returned then, and she was informed she should
go to an important occasion. Emilia pretended to be kind and lend e Aleigha a set of ugly outdated clothes and made her hair in a short curly style which the middle-aged
women preferred.
She dressed incredibly awful to the party and ridiculed by everyone. The Gardner family was ashamed and treated Aleigha coldly from then on.
Just at that party, she had a reunion with Adrian, who was saved by her.
She was excited and wanted to say hello to him. She rushed forward to him but got directly rejected as she didn't know he had mysophobia.
Emilia mocked Aleigha for dreaming of a man who she not deserved. Aleigha explained it was not the case, she saved him.
Hearing this, Emilia became curious and inquired more. Aleigha told her the whole story and showed her the bullet.
Later, the bullet was taken by Emilia, and she told Adrian she saved him. Since then, Adrian hadn't been so cold to Emilia as he treated her as his lifesaver.
At the party, Old Master Gardner announced the engagement with the Xiao family, Aleigha was excited and nervous.
As soon as the news was released, everyone, including the Reid family, was all in a big surprise.
Kendal destroyed Aleigha's image on that night out of jealousy.
"Will it be the same party tonight?" Aleigha was wondering.
Thinking of the tragic she experienced last life, a fighting spirit rose in Aleigha's heart.
She quickly finished taking a shower and changed her clothes. She also received the maids' hairstyle service in a very cooperative way.
Because the first impression was quite important.
Aleigha was too naive to believe in Emilia's kindness and dressed up according to her tips. She scared those families and was ridiculed hard.
"Miss, it's done. You're so beautiful!
Young master surely has good taste. No wonder he doesn't like Miss Reid
but was willing to take you home. You're much more beautiful than fer."
"That's right. Miss Reid is unruly. Miss, you are beautiful and virtuous, and your cooking skills are impressive. I have never seen Young master eat so much."
"Ahem, stop talking. I don't have that kind of relationship with Mr. Xiao."
Aleigha felt it funny to be gossiped about as if she would be Mrs. Xiao in the future.
She was shy, and her face turned red.
"Are you done?" Adrian asked and pushed the door open.
"I... Yeah, I'm done." Aleigha stood up with some embarrassment.
Facing the well-dressed elegant woman, Adrian was in a daze.
