Chapter 240 It Was Like a White Lotus
“Adele, you’re injured!” Emily exclaimed in shock.
“I accidentally grazed myself when I fell just now. I’ll be fine.” Adele lowered his head and glanced at his elbow.
“You’ll be fine? How can that be? You’ll get infected!” “I remember there’s a small clinic nearby. I’ll take you there to bandage it,” Emily said, pulling her along.
Adele could not refuse and had to follow her.
Along the way, Emily did not stop. When she arrived at the clinic and saw the doctor, she stopped.
The wound was simply bandaged. After that, the doctor opened the ointment and gauze, telling her to change the medicine on time.
After taking the medicine, Adele and Emily left the clinic together.
“Adele, I thought about it carefully just now. I don’t think it’s that simple. Don’t you think Clara did it on purpose? Look at her curled up in Damon’s arms just now. She looks like a white lotus.”
“I don’t think she did it on purpose. Maybe it was just an accident.” Adele took a deep breath.
“Accident? Adele, you are too naive!” “Anyway, I don’t think that Clara is that simple. You have to be careful.” Emily said.
“Got it, Emily,” Adele said with a chuckle as she held Emily’s arm.
This was not the first time that Emily had said this in front of her. However, in her impression, Clara was magnanimous and gentle, unlike the kind of person who was scheming.
Forget it, let’s not think too much about it. Anyway, she and Clara would not have any interactions in the future.
When she returned to the small apartment, it was already late. Adele hurriedly washed up, forgot to set the alarm clock, and went to rest.
The next morning, when she woke up and opened her eyes, she suddenly realized that it was getting late. She immediately got up in a hurry and rushed to the company.
Originally, she planned to ask for leave today. If she ate, she was afraid that she would make the supervisor unhappy. It would be even more difficult to approve the leave.
Thinking of this, Adele was even more anxious. She rushed to the company in a hurry. When she ran to the elevator entrance, there was a elevator that just went up. She looked at her watch. There were only five minutes left. For a moment, she was even more anxious.
Just as she was anxious and did not know what to do, the sound of leather shoes suddenly came from behind her. She did not care and focused on the rising number. She was worried.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the side, “Let’s go up together.”.
Adele turned around and saw Damon standing at the entrance of the president’s private elevator. He was staring at her with a heavy gaze.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Her heart tightened, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she glanced at her watch, she gritted her teeth and walked over.
It was only two minutes, and she could endure it.
After getting on the elevator, the elevator door slowly closed, and she was alone in a closed space with Damon. Adele was unconsciously a little nervous.
Next to her, Damon lowered his eyes, and his gaze swept across her arm intentionally or unintentionally. His gaze finally stopped at her shirt cuffs.
The exposed part of his arm was wrapped in gauze, as if he was injured.
He subconsciously frowned. Two seconds later, he couldn’t help but ask, “What happened to your hand?”
When Adele heard this, his body tensed up, and he quickly retracted his hand. He raised his hand and pulled up his sleeve to cover the gauze. “It’s nothing, I accidentally touched it.”
Hearing this, Damon’s eyes flickered, and his mood was dark and unclear.
Adele took a deep breath. She was a little nervous and guilty. She was afraid that Damon would continue to ask. She turned to look at him and asked, “Miss Moore… How is she?”
At the mention of Clara, Damon’s expression changed slightly. The words that Clara said in the car last night flashed through her mind. “Damon, in fact, Miss Wes tripped me and fell. But she should not have done it on purpose…”
His eyes darkened a little. He looked up at Adele. Seeing that she was calm and did not hesitate at all, he lifted his lips and said, “She’s fine.”
“That’s good.” Adele sighed in relief and whispered.
As soon as she finished speaking, the elevator door opened and they arrived at the floor where Adele was.
She bowed slightly to Damon, then quickly got out of the elevator and jogged into the office area.
She quickly ran to the attendance machine, but Grace suddenly appeared next to her. He stopped her and asked, “Ms. Wes, have you submitted the quarterly report?”
“Yes.” Adele was burning with anxiety and wanted to avoid her.
“Then why didn’t I see it?” Grace continued to block her.
Adele took a deep breath and looked at her, saying word by word, “I directly handed it to the supervisor.”
Grace heard this and did not say anything.
Adele staggered and ran to the attendance machine. Unexpectedly, it was just past nine o’clock. Her facial recognition machine rang. “Late!”
Adele frowned. She was a little angry. If Grace had not stopped her time and time again, she would not have been late!
It was a small matter to dock her pay if she was late. If the problem affected her leave, it would not be easy!
However, the matter was terrible. The leave application was handed up for less than half an hour, and she received a notice from the supervisor. “Ms. Wes, come to my office.”
Adele gasped, agreed, and then went to the manager’s office.
Walking into the office, she looked at Corine who was sitting at the table and felt a little uneasy. “Corine.”
“Sit down.” Corine raised his chin at her.
Just as Adele sat down, Corine asked, “You want to take five days off?”
Adele took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. He looked into her eyes and said, “Yes, my dad has an operation. I want to stay by his side.”
Before the operation, in the operation, and after the operation, she had to accompany him all the way. It really took a few days.
In her mind, her family was the first, so she naturally had to ask for this leave.
“It’s no problem to ask for leave, but do you know how many times you have been late and left early in the past half a month?” Corine looked a little serious.
Adele twisted her hands together, feeling a little uneasy.
Today, she was late, and she was late last week. In addition, the last time she went to stop Damon’s car, she disappeared for an entire afternoon. This was indeed several times.
“Adele, although you usually work very seriously, these are undeniable facts. I’m sorry, I can’t approve this holiday for you.”
Corine said, pushing her application to her.
Adele gritted his teeth and understood in his heart.
The company did indeed have such a request. There were conditions for the three days of vacation.
Corine glanced at her and whispered, “If you really need it, you can apply for it. If the higher-ups approve it, it will be easier for me.”
“I understand. Thank you, Corine.”
Adele walked out of the office feeling a little disappointed. He had no choice for a moment.
Could it be that she could only ask Damon for a holiday now?
After thinking about it, Adele did not think of a better idea. In the end, she could only muster up the courage and plan to talk to Damon about the leave.
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. Adele arrived at the president’s office and was hesitating whether to knock on the door. However, Jane suddenly came over and asked, “Are you here to find Mr. Yusuf?”
Adele nodded.
“Mr. Yusuf is not here now, and he may not come back today. You can come back tomorrow.” Jane said.
Hearing this, Adele hesitated and nodded. He turned around and slowly walked to the elevator.
Not far away at the exit of the stairs, a man seemed to inadvertently look over there. When he saw Adele, a trace of coldness flashed through his eyes. He turned around and disappeared at the stairs.
