Fatal Love:CEO, please let me go

Chapter 24 What Is He to You?



She was already very grateful that Damon was able to rush over to celebrate her father’s birthday today. Now that Damon had already drunk quite a bit of wine, she was worried that something would happen to him if he went to socialize alone…

Damon paused and turned to look at her hesitantly. “You want to go with me?”

The hand that was holding the man’s clothes slowly tightened. Adele nodded seriously. “Yes, I want to go with you.”

She didn’t say that she was actually worried about him.

Looking at the woman’s determined eyes, Damon raised his eyebrows and asked, “Do you know what occasion it is?”

In his eyes, she was as simple and pure as a piece of white paper, but the place he was going to now was feasting and revelry.

“I just want to go with you.” Adele bit her lips and insisted.

After staring at her for a few seconds, Damon finally let go. “Okay, let’s go together.”

It was not a bad thing to let her see the other side of the city.

Hearing Damon agree, a trace of joy flashed through Adele’s heart.

Half an hour later, when the car arrived at the destination, she looked at the high-end luxury club, and the original excitement in her heart suddenly disappeared.

She had entered a company right after graduation. She was just a small clerk, and she had never seen a situation as complicated as this place.

She gritted her teeth and got out of the car, following Damon to the door.

“Mr. Yusuf, please come with me,” the waiter greeted respectfully as soon as they arrived at the door.

It seemed that Damon was a regular here.

As the waiter got into the lift and passed through the corridor, they were about to reach the designated room when Damon suddenly slowed down and turned his head slightly to look at Adele. “If you don’t want to stay, tell me at any time. I’ll ask Ben to take you out.”

“Yes, I know.” Adele nodded.

The waiter pushed the door open and a burst of music came from inside. Adele followed Damon into the room and found that it was very spacious. There were already many people gathered in the room, singing, drinking, and playing games.

The moment Damon appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of many people.

“Mr. Yusuf! Long time no see!”

“Mr. Yusuf is here!”

Adele followed closely behind Damon. She walked to the sofa in the center and looked at the strange people around her. She was a little scared.

Suddenly, the back of her hand felt warm. Her hand was held by Damon and he pulled her to the sofa.

“Oh, Brother Yusuf, why did you bring a little white flower this time! Have you changed your taste recently?”

A man in a flowery shirt greeted him with a smile. He was holding a woman who showed too much skin with one hand, but his eyes were glued to Adele and he kept looking at her.

Damon looked up and said coldly, “Steve, aren’t you too talkative?”

The man named Steve heard this and chuckled, “Brother Yusuf, I was just joking. Don’t take it seriously! Are you here to find Brother Robertson? He is in the small private room inside, waiting for you.”

Hearing this, Damon nodded slightly.

Then, he turned to look at Adele and said in a softer voice, “I’m going to be away for business for a while. Wait for me here. We’ll leave when it’s over.”

“Okay.” Adele nodded obediently.

Seeing that she agreed, Damon got up and walked straight to the small private room inside.

Adele stared at his back and couldn’t help but be lost in thought. The colorful lights shone on his back, but he was still completely different from other people here.

Smoking, drinking, falling, and enjoying. Everything here was extravagant and crazy, and she knew very well that he was not tainted by it in the least.

“Steve, why did Mr. Yusuf bring a woman over this time?”

A sweet voice pulled Adele back to reality. She looked up and saw the woman next to Steve lying on his shoulder and whispering. Her voice was not loud, but it was just enough for her to hear.

“Who knows? This is really the first time, but his eyes… tsk tsk!” Steve smiled without any hesitation.

Hearing the two people talking about her in front of her, Adele frowned and forced herself to look away.

After a while, a woman in a red short skirt came over. She first sat down beside Steve and whispered a few words with him. Then she turned her head and stared at Adele with unkind eyes.

Not long after, the woman finally couldn’t stand it anymore. She got up and sat down next to Adele. “Hey, my name is Anne. What’s your name?”

“Adele,” Adele replied politely.

Anne nodded. She shook the red wine glass in her hand and looked at her. A moment later, she finally said, “I heard that Brother Yusuf brought you here?”

“Yes,” Adele said lightly.

Anne’s face darkened. She raised her voice and asked, “What is he to you?”

Looking at the woman’s sharp eyes, Adele’s face darkened. She hesitated for a moment and asked softly, “What do you think he is to me?”

When Anne heard this, her face became even uglier. She suppressed her anger and did not speak for a long time. Finally, she forced out a stiff smile. “Let’s have a drink.”

As she spoke, she directly picked up the cup and poured a cup of wine for Adele, sending it to her.

Adele looked down at the foreign wine in the cup and smiled at her. “Sorry, I don’t drink.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“You don’t drink?” Anne said with an exaggerated smile, “The woman brought by Brother Yusuf actually said that she didn’t drink? What a disgrace!”

Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, enough for the people around her to hear. For a moment, the people around them all looked towards them, and their gazes toward Adele became more probing and questioning.

Anne looked at Adele, smiled, and waved the wine glass in her hand, “We are all Brother Yusuf’s friends. You have to drink a cup of wine, to show your friendliness.”

When Adele heard this, she frowned. Facing the strange gazes of the people around her, she unconsciously became nervous.

She didn’t want to cause trouble for Damon, but she knew very well in her heart that this Anne definitely wouldn’t let her off easily.

Taking a deep breath, Adele reached out, took the glass in her hand, and drank it in one gulp.

The cold and spicy liquid slid down her throat and into her stomach, stimulating her to the point that her whole body trembled.

Resisting the discomfort, she put down the glass and looked at Anne, smiling at her. “I tried.”

Anne seemed to have not expected that Adele would really drink it. She frowned, then pulled on a perfunctory smile and looked at the people next to her.

The few women who had been watching from the side received her gaze, and they began to come over to chat with Adele for a toast.

Adele looked at the wine glasses delivered to her and unconsciously clenched her fists.

It seemed that they were deliberately trying to mess with her, and she seemed to be unable to evade it.
