Chapter 210
Lisa remembered the number and when the person revealed it was Adrian’s assistant, she became anxious as he walked away. So, she instinctively followed him.
When they reached the elevator, she caught up and pleaded, “Wait, I want your contact information, not compensation. I just want to be friends. Can you give me your contact information?” Adrian stopped in front of the elevator doors with a blank expression.
Lisa bit her lower lip and looked at him with a conflicted expression.
“I really want your contact information. I promise I won’t bother you p>
Adrian coldly glanced at her before lifting
He buttoned the top button of his suit, his voice cold as he said, “Miss, it’s best if you dismiss any thoughts about me right now. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee what will happen later.” The elevator arrived just then.
Adrian walked into it expressionless.
Lisa’s face turned pale at his words, but after watching him enter the elevator, she couldn’t control her own feet and slowly followed inside.
There were only the two of them in the elevator, and Lisa could almost feel the icy aura emanating from the man after she entered. Though she liked this man very much… She had never been rejected so harshly before.
His cold gaze and tone made her feel like a despised piece of garbage, instantly shattering her confidence.
She almost didn’t have the courage to speak to him again, so she could only stand there numbly and wait for the elevator to descend. Each second felt like an eternity.
She didn’t know how long it had been, but the elevator finally reached the first floor.
Lisa followed behind him as they stepped out.
Standing at the elevator entrance, Adrian hesitated for a moment before coldly saying, “I hope you won’t follow me anymore p>
Lisa bit her lip numbly, not looking up nor responding.
His phone rang, and the man in front of her walked away.
She glanced at the incoming call display, answered the phone, and weakly spoke, “Eva p>
Upon hearing Lisa’s voice, Eva on the other end of the line breathed a sigh of relief.
“You finally answered my call, Lisa p>
“I’m sorry Lisa bit her lip, feeling fine just a moment ago, but now she felt endlessly wronged upon hearing Eva’s voice. She wanted to cry, “I didn’t turn off my phone on purpose last night, I just… I just really like him.” Eva stayed in the living room and felt uneasy upon hearing Lisa’s distressed words and the slight choking in her throat.
“I know, you’ve been wronged. Where are you now? I’ll have David come pick you up. After you come back, there are a few things I want to talk to you about p>
“Okay, I’m currently Lisa had intended to say her location, but then the familiar pair of shoes appeared in her line of sight, and she looked up in astonishment. To her surprise, the man who should have left had actually returned.
“You Adrian furrowed his brow and looked at her with complex emotions.
“Lisa p>
Because of the man’s return, Lisa suddenly caught a glimmer of hope and immediately told Eva on the phone, “I have something to do right now, I’ll call you later.” After speaking, Lisa hung up the phone.
She hung up too quickly for Adrian to stop her.
On the other side, Eva, who had her call ended, wondered: Why did she suddenly hang up? And her tone seemed to become more cheerful? Could it be that Adrian is with her?
With that thought, Eva suddenly had a foreboding feeling.
After disconnecting the call with Eva, Lisa wiped away the tears in the corner of her eyes in a fluster and looked at the man in front of her.
Actually, she wanted to ask why he had come back again. But when the words reached her lips, she felt too embarrassed to speak up. As she struggled with how to open the topic, the handsome man in front of her glanced at her phone, pursed his thin lips, and then said, “Were you on the phone just now p>
This question caught Lisa off guard, and she slowly nodded. “Yes.” “Your friend p>
“Yes p>
Adrian narrowed his eyes. “Last night… Did you help me p>
Lisa continued nodding. “Yes, you were drunk and passed out on the ground. I was afraid something might happen, so I thought of bringing you to a hotel to rest, but At this point, Lisa seemed to remember something, and her words faltered. “But what p>
Adrian’s keen sixth sense told him that whatever came after “but” must be important information.
Lisa was originally quick-witted, and she didn’t expect to reveal what happened next. Firstly, she didn’t want to betray her friend, and secondly, she felt that it wasn’t appropriate to say such things in front of Adrian. What if he got angry after hearing it?
But she didn’t expect to blurt it out.
Lisa awkwardly smiled and said, “It’s nothing p>
Upon hearing this, Adrian’s gaze turned cold. “Tell me the truth p>
In that moment, Adrian’s superiority and authority became evident.
Lisa didn’t know what happened to her. She had already decided not to speak, but when Adrian looked at her like that, she instantly felt a chill run down her spine. Subconsciously, she confessed the whole story.
“There was a misunderstanding last night. You got drunk and tried to do something inappropriate to my friend. At first, my friend misunderstood you, but don’t worry, I explained to her that you are not that kind of person. So, she eventually helped me bring you to the hotel as well p>
“Inappropriate to your friend p>
Suddenly, certain images that Adrian had forgotten flashed through his mind.
Previously, he only remembered seeing her in the bar, haunted by her presence, but he had no recollection of what happened afterward.
Now, reminded by Lisa, Adrian instantly recalled it.
He pressed someone against the wall… but then his consciousness suddenly disappeared.
So, such a thing had happened.
“No, no,” Lisa vehemently denied, “I know you were drunk and maybe did something that made her misunderstand, but you’re definitely not that kind of person. I’ve already explained it to her on your behalf p>
“Is that so?” Adrian said calmly.
“Yes,” Lisa nodded vigorously, “My friend didn’t know you before, so she had a misunderstanding. But she won’t have it anymore in the future p>
Upon hearing this, Adrian was momentarily surprised, then snorted.
“She didn’t know me p>
Lisa innocently nodded.
“Well, do you know my friend?” he countered.
More than just knowing her? She was practically ingrained in him, imprinted in his flesh and blood.
The next moment, Adrian raised his head. “Can you take me to meet your friend p>
Why all of a sudden did he want to meet her friend?
“Didn’t you say I behaved inappropriately towards your friend? Take me to meet her and let me explain p>
“I will apologize to her face-to-face and sincerely,” he said. “And while I’m at it, I’ll ask her how she really didn’t recognize her ex-husband p>
