Chapter 104: Hiding out in Los Angeles
“Hank is your personal assistant, there must be something to discuss between you, I’d better change seats with him.”
From the beginning to the end, I don’t want to have too many opportunities to spend time alone with Peter.
This time, if she hadn’t been thinking about Helen and trying to avoid The Alston family dinner, she wouldn’t have chosen to go abroad with him.
“The plane will be taking off soon!”
The man gave a dismissive reminder, then took the blindfold and covered his eyes.
Adriana had no choice but to wait.
Not long after, the plane took off, Adriana some nervous, hands clasped tightly on the seat, dead eyes closed, not dare to open.
“You’re afraid of heights?”
Some people are so afraid of heights that they can’t fly.
It just didn’t occur to me that Adriana was such a person.
“Hmm.”
The plane kept rising, and Adriana became more nervous and fearful, clutching the armrests of her seat with a slightly white hand.
Peter took off his glasses and put his big palm over the back of her hand, his other arm around her head close to his, “It’s okay, I’m here.”
A word of comfort from him, extremely simple.
But the feeling of security that fell on Adriana’s ears was immense.
Leaning in his arms, feeling his breath, everything is so familiar, familiar to make her heart beat faster.
“You’re beating fast and nervous?” He asked.
Adriana’s white teeth bite her lips, naturally will not admit, “afraid of heights.”
“Just get used to it.”
“Hmm.”
On the plane, perhaps because Adriana was afraid of heights, she kept her eyes closed nervously, so that she eventually fell asleep in a daze.
As she slept, she leaned into the arms of one person and was held in a reassuring embrace.
By the time I woke up I had arrived in Los Angeles.
“Arrived?”
“Yes.”
“No way, I’ve been sleeping for so long?”
She actually slept for more than 10 hours from Waverly’s arrival in Los Angeles and was that sleepy?
Although it was called away by Brenda in the middle of the night last night, the sleep was too deep and too heavy.
Good thing she still has use value, otherwise Peter would have sold her without even knowing it.
“Pigs, always.”
“You’re the pig!”
“Who are the pigs talking about?”
“Says you!”
“Well, a stupid pig.”
Peter thick ink sword eyebrows slightly raised, sexy lips floating out of a curve, smile evil, people’s hearts and minds.
Adriana was a bit depressed, and was inexplicably undermined by Peter.
However, used to seeing his seriousness, suddenly joking to make people feel more grounded, with the fireworks.
After getting off the plane, the three walked out of the airport and were met by someone who came up to the plane.
I listened to Peter’s conversation with the visitor in fluent and standard English, and I couldn’t help but feel that his English was really good.
In the car, Adriana sat beside him and watched sideways as he chatted with Saniyah in the passenger seat, immersed in his fluent English conversation for a long time.
“Have you seen enough?”
The man suddenly said a Chinese sentence, slowly side-eye gaze at her, under the eyes held a little playful.
“Who’s looking at you? I’m just looking out the window.”
Adriana immediately withdrew her gaze and inclined her head to the other side, with a kind of weakness after being caught in the act.
“And this one is?”
Saniyah looked back at Adriana and asked.
“Hello, my name is Adriana,” Adriana communicates in English, maintaining a polite smile.
Saniyah gave Peter a thumbs up, “Mr. Alston has a good eye.”
Then checked into the hotel, Peter’s room was next to Adriana’s room and Hank had no room.
“Doesn’t Hank have a room?”
She didn’t understand what was going on.
“I just got a call that something came up at the domestic company that required him to go back and take care of it.” Peter explained.
Hank, who was standing by the side, subconsciously looked at his own boss, and his eyes flashed with an unreadable look.
Nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, yes, yes.”
“Oh.”
Adriana answered, took her room card and opened the room to enter.
After closing the door, she lazily laid down on the bed, took out her cell phone and turned it on.
Huzzah-
The phone just turned on, it kept vibrating and one message after another kept pouring in.
Open the message and look at the message for the information platform, Brenden’s message, and Theresa and Hayley and Vivian’s messages.
Adriana was the first to tap on Brenden’s text message.
[Don’t want Helen anymore? Dumped me?
[You went on a business trip with Peter?
[Without my permission, who let you travel?
…
Jingle Bell-
Looking at Brenden’s cell phone text messages, Adriana’s heart was pounding with fear.
But who expected a phone call suddenly came in at this time, but also made her a trembling, the phone smashed in the face.
“Hiss …”
Adriana reached up and touched her nose in pain, answering the phone with her other hand and placing it next to her ear, “Who is it?”
She didn’t call early and didn’t call late, but called when she was reading Brenden’s text messages.
The heart can hardly stand it.
“Adriana.”
On the other side of the phone, came a low, husky voice.
“Brenden? huh huh, what’s up, what’s up?”
At this point in time, it’s late at night in the country, and he’s calling to specify that nothing good is going to happen.
Adriana smiled flatteringly, “It’s very late, you’d better rest early, let’s talk tomorrow if there’s anything, okay?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Where are you now?”
His voice was cold, like a hellish rakshasa, creepy.
“I … I’m in L. A. Peter came over here for an important business negotiation, and I came over to spy for you.”
She had already thought of an excuse to deal with Brenden, so she lied extremely calmly.
“Don’t play games with me, Adriana, you should know my methods!”
Brenden’s attitude is cold, listening to the voice over the phone are some eerie and frightening.
“You just need to remember one thing, the sky is the limit, don’t even think about escaping my control.”
With a warning, he simply hung up the phone.
Ending the call, Adriana was lost in the sound of Brenden’s warning and her nervous heart was unable to calm down for a long time.
She took a deep breath, and it was good to know that she was still of use to Brenden now.
Otherwise, he would have been furious this time without saying goodbye.
Lying in bed, Adriana called Anne and made sure HelenRene was okay before her heart dropped.
Knock Knock-
The room door rattles.
Adriana got up and walked out, pulled the door open, looked at Peter standing in the doorway and asked, “Do you want to work now?”
You just got off the plane, don’t you even have a little rest time?
Peter was wearing a black shirt with the cuffs pulled up a bit, a little unrestrained in elegance.
Raising his wrist and looking at his wristwatch time, it was 2:00 pm.
“Come on, let’s go to dinner first.”
“Now? I’m, I’m not really hungry.”
Adriana didn’t have much of an appetite, all she could think about was Helen, and after a pause, she asked, “I was wondering, about when will work start?”
“You’re in a hurry?”
Peter raised his eyebrows, a little suspicious of her attitude.
That’s not her style to be so aggressive.
