Chapter 30: Humiliation in the Clothing Store
The two stopped talking, and Lauren really wanted to break the silence, but she didn't know how to do it. Adam let out a soft sigh.
"Well, I won't give you a hard time, after all, we haven't seen each other for ten years, anything can happen. I can't be sure if you'll still have a soft spot for me after ten years. How about this, if you trust me, you can stay here for now. As for what you're going to do next, you can think about it."
Lauren nodded and followed behind Adam to the room he had prepared for her.
"You rest first, I still have some business to attend to, if you need anything, meet me in the study, okay?"
Lauren nodded and watched Adam leave her room.
It had been three days, Lauren had been in Adam's apartment for three days, and she had been feeling as if those three days were a dream. A pair of beautiful eyes lost in thought as she looked out at the world.
During these three miles, Lauren had a whole new understanding of Adam. It turns out that ten years have really made him change a lot.
Now he is no longer the young boy who needed protection, he is now the CEO of an international group in Asia.
Lauren is really happy with what he has achieved now.
'Knock, knock, knock'
The sound of knocking on the door snapped Lauren out of the middle of her own thoughts.
"Come on in."
Adam entered the room with a smile on his face, but his deep, knife-like face hid a gloom that could not be detected. "Lauren, have you decided what you want to do next?"
Adam sat directly beside Lauren, excessively close, causing Lauren to subconsciously move to the side.
For some reason, she was really uncomfortable with a man other than Matthew, being too close to herself.
Lauren's subconscious refusal made Adam's handsome face cross with a cold expression. But he hid it quickly, and did not let Lauren notice.
Lauren stole a glance at Adam sitting beside her, she was a bit confused about his purpose of looking for her.
"Lauren, I know your ability, how about this, you come to my company to help me out, I just came here to fight the market, around is a lack of a capable secretary like you."
"How do you know there is ability? How are you sure I've worked in a big company before?" Although she had no idea what to do next, Lauren was not missing any of the vigilance she should have had. Adam showed a heartfelt expression.
"Lauren, the reason how I know your ability is not important, the main thing is I really need your help right now, do you see how you can help me? I really need you right now."
Lauren's heart tightened, she hadn't seen him for ten years. Can it really make such a big change in a person?
"Yes, I can agree to work in your company. But I hope I can go as your secretary with my ability."
Lauren suddenly remembered the night before she left, Matthew had said that someone had stolen Yin's Group's confidential documents, allowing Adam's company to obtain a partnership with an overseas company.
"Lauren, did you really decide to be my secretary in my company?"
The excitement on Adam's face made Lauren even more suspicious, was this still the same Adam Ouyang she used to know with a deep face no matter what was going on?
"Yes, let's do it tomorrow, I'll be your secretary at your company tomorrow."
'Snap'
Adam clapped his hands straight in excitement.
"It's a deal, let's go, let's go out now."
Adam took Lauren's hand and headed outside.
"Adam, what are you doing here? Where are we going?" Lauren shook off Adam's hand and looked at him with a puzzled expression.
"To buy you some clothes to wear to work, of course. You're not going to wear these clothes all the time, are you?"
Looking at the clothes she was wearing, Lauren was also a little embarrassed that she wouldn't be so embarrassed right now if her little suitcase hadn't been held up by the bouncer. "Okay, I can go clothes shopping with you, but the money will be deducted from my salary."
"OK. Let's go now, I must dress you up beautifully, only then will you be worthy to be my secretary at my side."
I don't know why, on the way Adam was very excited, holding the steering wheel with both hands, and kept tapping on it.
"Adam, stop in front, I know the owner of the clothing store in front, she can give me a discount."
Adam nodded and parked the car in front of a very elegantly decorated clothing store, then not allowing Lauren to refuse, he took her hand and walked inside.
Although Lauren wanted to shake off Adam's hand, she had no choice but to let Adam pull her into the store.
"Lauren, you haven't been here for a long time, who is this?"
A stylishly dressed woman, when she saw Lauren, came to her with a smile on her face, but when she saw Adam beside her, she showed a puzzled expression.
You know that in the past Lauren came over, but always in the company of Matthew, could it be true that Matthew dumped this woman as written in the newspaper?
Thinking of this possibility, the woman's face immediately turned bad, no longer the polite just now.
She crossed her hands at her waist and deliberately lifted her ample breasts.
"Lauren, why is there a new person today? It's not true what the newspaper said, Matthew doesn't want you anymore, right?"
Lauren sighed softly, with a hint of bewilderment in her pretty eyes.
"Coco, I don't understand what you're talking about, I'm here to buy clothes today, since you're not welcome, I can go to other stores, I just don't believe I can't buy clothes that fit me."
Not wanting to be taunted by Coco here, Lauren pulled Adam up and headed for the door.
"Lauren, did you decide to leave because you saw me and Matthew?"
A woman's familiar voice startled Lauren's heart, and her right hand, which was pulling Adam, unconsciously increased its strength.
Adam was a little surprised, but his eyes followed the voice and saw a man and a woman walking in his direction.
Adam fixed a clear look and recognized the identity of the visitors. He did not allow Lauren to refuse and pulled her to the two men.
"CEO Yin, I really didn't expect that I would run into you even here, it seems that we are really destined to meet, huh?"
Adam's obvious gesture of goodwill was directly ignored by Matthew.
"Adam Ouyang, I don't think it's destiny with you, it seems that you only returned to China, you are still fast, so quickly found a woman, just this woman's background, are you clear? Maybe she's innocent on the outside, but in private she's a bitch that's worse than a prostitute."
Lauren and Adam's hands clasped together, in Matthew's eyes, were very harsh.
Matthew's eyes were lightly smiling, but the words he said were like a sharp blade stabbing hard at Lauren's heart, and the pain made Lauren's face turn pale all of a sudden.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
