Chapter 103 The Alston family senior appointment
Adriana was a little helpless and had to nod, "Then you can just call me if you need anything, okay? I really have to go to the office now or I'll be late." "Well, good, good."
Brenda nods her head.
Leaving the hospital, Adriana went to dinner, cleaned up, and arrived at the office just in time.
After a busy morning of menial work, I received a call from Brenden at the end of the day.
"Say."
Her attitude was icy.
"Do you have time tonight, The Alston family old man wants to see you."
"See me?"
Adriana was taken aback and felt her heart thumping at the thought of meeting the old man and refused outright, "No, I don't have time."
"I'm informing you, not asking for your opinion."
"You ......"
Adriana gasped and clutched her phone, "Got it."
Hang up the phone and fling it on the table, angry with a headache.
Knock Knock-
While this was going on, someone came over and knocked on the table.
Adriana looks up, and it's Minister Nelson Dean.
"Mr. Alston wants you to go to the president's office right now." After the order, he barked, "Immediately!"
"What is it? Would the minister please tell me about it?"
Adriana never wanted to see Peter.
"How am I supposed to know if you ask me? I'm not Mr. Alston."
Nelson Dean, who was not happy with her, gave her a blank look and went straight to the minister's office.
Adriana was ordered and had to go.
Grind in position for a long time, before getting up and going upstairs.
The president's office door, she raised her hand to knock on the door, but before her hand touched the door, she put it down again. Then lift, drop, lift......
So several times over and over again, finally knocked on the door.
"Enter."
With permission, Adriana pushed the door open and walked in.
Inside the office, Peter sits at his desk, buried in his paperwork.
Concentrate on the look with a few serious indifference, but added a few handsome serious.
It is said that serious men are the best looking, and at this time Peter is even better looking than ever.
Just a side profile, are that handsome charm, through a little arrogance of the superior.
"Mr. Alston, what can I do for you?"
She stood in the doorway, several meters away from the desk, but hesitated to come forward.
Peter raised his eyes, glanced at her standing in the doorway, was silent and continued to look down at his work.
Time passes.
Adriana also did not say anything, the two seemed like a silent competition, no one is willing to concede defeat.
"Ahem......"
Eventually Adriana, tired of standing, spoke up and said, "Mr. Alston if there's nothing else, I'll go first."
"#$*&^#$%#@^......"
"What?"
From a long distance away, it felt like Peter was talking, but she didn't hear him clearly, "Please Mr. Alston say it again." "#$*&^#$%#@."
His voice was so low and mosquito-like that Adriana couldn't hear him clearly.
Peter closed the file and put the signature pen aside, "With your current ability to do things, are you sure you can handle the job of the legal department? I seriously doubt your efficiency." Adriana was silent, not knowing how to answer.
I had to walk towards him and stand in front of him, "Mr. Alston, just give me a direct order."
"What are you doing here? You still continue to stand there, if you still can't hear, I'll find you a secretary to deliver the message, okay?"
He deliberately teased Adriana.
He was so angry that Adriana bowed her head and said nothing.
That kind of good behavior was something Peter had never seen before, and he got up and walked around to her, leaning against the desk with his arms around his chest, gazing at her with cold eyes, "What are you hiding from? Hmm?"
The damn woman had been hiding from her for over a month.
Every time it was as if a mouse saw a cat and hid when it saw him.
Flee as fast as you can avoid the plague.
"Mr. Alston, what are you talking about, I can't understand."
Adriana played dumb and added, "If there's nothing else, I'll go down first.
Seeing her turn around, Peter said blandly and self-effacingly, "This evening, the patriarchs of The Alston family are gathering at The Alston family, the annual family dinner of The Alston family." "The Alston family house party?"
Adriana was close to tears.
On such an important occasion, Brenden did not tell her either, but simply said that the old man wanted to see her.
This is not pushing her into a place of no return.
"Brenden didn't tell you?"
"That......Brenden is rather busy at work, so maybe how about telling me yet."
Adriana was a little reluctant to go to The Alston family with Brenden.
I always feel that this trip, more than bad luck.
Brainstorming the evening's meeting, she must be surrounded by people like a pet in a cage.
"It's good that you don't know."
Peter neither broke nor said anything else, just asked her, "I have to go to Los Angeles this evening, there is an important meeting, need a better English lawyer. You happen to be abroad for many years. Are
you free?"
"Los Angeles?"
"Hmm."
"Good!"
Adriana agreed without a second thought.
Helen is in Los Angeles, so she takes this opportunity to visit Helen and escape the meeting of The Alston family patriarchs.
It's like killing two birds with one stone.
As for Brenden's side, she can feel free to lie that Peter has important business activities and can spy out secrets for her.
With this in mind, I was naturally happier.
"The flight is in an hour and ready to go."
"So soon? I thought you said the flight was in the evening?" Adriana was a little puzzled.
"Did I say night?"
"Said." She was sure for sure as well as certain.
"Then you must have misheard."
Peter took his suit from the hanger and walked straight out of the office, saying as he went, "Now take your phone and charger and go home and get your passport."
"Oh."
In that case, what else could Adriana say? Naturally, she followed Peter down the stairs.
Went to the garage, got in the car, and Hank drove her back to the neighborhood, picked up her things and left.
An hour later, the two boarded the plane without incident.
Before the plane took off, I received a call from Vivian.
Vivian said: "Ms. Hale, Brenda has contacted me. I have taken the case of her father's prosecution, but the case is suspicious, the police are not cooperating at all, and many clues cannot be found. Things are very tricky."
"Things you can investigate for now, I have things to travel recently. If you have any thing telephone contact, do not understand can also go to Jenkins."
"Okay. Then Ms. Hale you take care all the way."
"Hmm."
After hanging up the phone, Adriana had just put her phone in her backpack when it rang again. She looked at the caller ID and it was Brenden's phone.
Just at that moment, the flight attendant came over to remind, "Miss, the plane is about to take off, please turn off your cell phone."
"Oh, okay."
Adriana had no choice but to hang up the phone and simply turn it off.
"Business is busy?"
The man beside her looked at her sideways, smiling.
"It's okay."
Adriana's eyes dodged a bit, glanced around, and asked again, "Where's Hank?"
"In second class."
