Chapter 295
What does this password mean? This backup machine looks new, so it must have been recently purchased. And he set her birthday as the startup password?
After hurting her, initiating the divorce, and even suggesting that she should have an abortion, he uses her birthday as the password? Eva lightly bit her lower lip, expressionless, and began typing a series of characters. When the computer truly turned on, she suddenly found it ridiculously amusing. Who does he think he is? On what grounds? Eva reluctantly started a new document and began typing.
Don’t think about it, don’t get deceived. Even if he uses her birthday as a password, it doesn’t mean anything. The past is already in the past, and now she needs to look forward and complete the task at hand.
But if the plan doesn’t meet his expectations, Eva will naturally inquire about his opinion. Seeing that the matter with the password didn’t cause any reaction from her, Adrian naturally felt stifled in his chest. But there was nothing he could do, he was the one who asked her to stay.
The plan must be completed today. Adrian tapped his fingertips lightly on the table, appearing casual in both expression and actions. “You run an advertising company, but that plan you just presented seemed more like an individual’s plan, too idealistic. A small company that wants to establish itself quickly in the market must learn to seize opportunities p>
As he spoke, his fingertip landed on a particular point in the previous plan, ruthlessly criticizing it. “Too conservative, it’s a failure when launched. Did you only learn these things during your five years abroad? Or did he only teach you these things? It seems like your choice of him wasn’t that great p>
The last sentence carried too much personal emotion. This added a different expression to Eva’s previously attentive face as she frowned and looked displeased. “Mr. Blackwood, are you here to discuss work or personal life with me?” Adrian’s eyes turned pitch black. “What’s wrong with discussing work? What’s wrong with discussing personal life p>
“If you want to discuss work, then please focus on that p>
“If you want to talk about personal life, that’s fine. I can bring the plan back to my company,” Eva said.
As soon as she finished speaking, Adrian sneered. “Eva, if your ability matched your temperament, I wouldn’t have to worry so much p>
This remark angered Eva.
She directly closed her notebook, making a sound. “Mr. Blackwood, since you don’t trust me, then there really is no need for us to cooperate p>
After speaking, Eva stood up to leave, but before she could take a step, Adrian gripped her wrist.
Adrian frowned deeply.
Before she arrived, he had decided to live with her peacefully, just as Jacob had suggested. Since he wanted to win her back, he had to have an attitude.
But seeing her unwilling appearance, Adrian’s heart began to feel blocked and pained. He was provoked to say insincere things.
“Let go.” Eva struggled, but couldn’t break free.
“Eva, do you really want to work on the plan?” Adrian asked.
Hearing this, Eva laughed coldly. “Shouldn’t that question be asked by me instead? When you’re working on the plan, you’re constantly rummaging through other people’s past?” After a long silence, Adrian clenched his teeth and said, “I was wrong, okay p>
Eva thought she had misheard and looked at Adrian in astonishment.
He actually admitted his mistake? And on this matter?
Adrian let go of her hand and lowered his gaze. “Don’t look at me like that. Are you still going to work on the plan p>
Maybe because he admitted his mistake, Eva felt slightly relieved. After all, the plan was something that needed to be done.
During the rest of the working hours, Adrian no longer made sarcastic remarks but seriously discussed the plan with her.
Perhaps because she hadn’t been back to her home country for a long time and didn’t have a full understanding of the situation, Eva benefited greatly from Adrian’s guidance and prompts. In the end, Eva forgot that the man beside her was her ex-husband. She wholeheartedly focused on her work and spoke to Adrian in a normal tone, as if he really were a business partner. When Adrian realized this, his expression became serious again.
Eva was working diligently, and when Jacob knocked on the door to remind them to have a meal, she was still a bit behind with the planning document.
Ignoring the reminder, she continued to concentrate on her notebook.
Jacob couldn’t help but look at Adrian.
Adrian pursed his lips and reminded her, “It’s time to eat p>
“Mhm,” Eva responded without lifting her head from the screen.
Seeing her like this, Adrian doubted whether she had even heard what he said and simply responded to the sound.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, Eva was still in her seat, not moving at all, not even lifting her head.
Adrian furrowed his brows slightly and reminded her again. “Eva p>
Eva once again absentmindedly lifted her head.
“Wait a moment,” Adrian said, reaching out and tapping the desk next to Eva’s notebook. “Let’s eat first, then work p>
Perhaps due to frequent interruptions, Eva found it difficult to concentrate. She frowned and looked displeased at Adrian. “I was just about to finish my work. Can’t you go eat by yourself?” Besides, she had no intention of dining together with him here.
Adrian pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.
Observing the situation, Jacob stepped forward and said, “Ms. Hansen, work is important, but it’s also crucial to have meals on time. Otherwise, it’s easy to develop stomach problems. Just look at Mr. Blackwood here. His previous stomach bleeding was caused by working too hard and not eating regularly p>
Eva wasn’t convinced and countered, “He had stomach bleeding because he overworked? Isn’t it because he’s always drinking p>
Jacob felt a little embarrassed and smiled apologetically. “Drinking is one factor, but the main reason is irregular eating habits. So, Ms. Hansen, please go and have your meal p>
Actually, Eva did want to finish her work, but she realized something when she heard Jacob mention Adrian’s stomach bleeding incident.
Since his discharge from the hospital, he seemed to never have returned. She wondered if he had been taking his medication on time. After all, she was the one who took him out, and if something happened later p>
With these thoughts in mind, Eva let out a sigh and saved her work before closing her notebook. “Fine, let’s eat first p>
If possible, she really didn’t want to dine together with him here, as if they had already made up. But considering his guidance and advice this morning p>
Forget it, let’s just take it as repaying him.
After all, it’s just a meal.
She wouldn’t lose anything.
