Chapter146
A beautiful woman came into view.
Seeing the woman’s skeptical and hostile gaze, Adelaide was
almost instantly convinced that she was the one the party had a
crush on.
Nathan spoke up from behind: “Mr. Thorton, Ms. Walton is
looking for you.”
Adelaide shifted her body to avoid eye contact.
Laney had a sweet smile on her face and held up the thermos in her hand, “Reginald, Mrs. Thorton asked me to bring you some
sweet soup.”
Reginald’s face turned cold, he ignored her, and asked Nathan,
“Did she make an appointment?”
Nathan answered, “No.”
“If you make such a basic mistake again next time, you’ll have to redo a few days of assistant training.”
“Yes, Mr. Thorton.” Nathan responded quickly, already politely
addressing Laney, “Ms. Walton, please.”
Chapter146
Laney: “………
I was thinking of borrowing Nyasia’s sweet soup, at least
Reginald would let her step into the office.
Who would have thought, he didn’t even give his own mother
face.
The atmosphere was awkward.
Adelaide felt that it wasn’t very good for her to keep standing
here.
So she wanted to take the opportunity to slowly paddle out.
Whoever wanted Reginald suddenly shouted at her, “Ms. Pierce,
grab the water glass and come back quickly!”
Adelaide froze up.
Sure enough, the hostile looks that were already directed at her
now shamelessly fell on her again.
Adelaide already knew what Ms. Walton would react to her,
she mentally bowed to Reginald’s ancestors eighteen
generations.
Who would have thought that the next second, Laney just handed her the thermos: “Ms. Pierce, right?”
Chapter146
“Yeah,” Adelaide nodded, “Hello, Ms. Walton.”
Laney nodded without hesitation, “Can you help me take it in
later?”
Adelaide was surprised.
After saying that, Laney turned away without any emotion,
and even said in a calm tone, “Reginald, this was personally
stewed by Mrs. Thorton for a long time. Remember to drink it
and don’t disappoint Mrs. Thorton’s kindness. I’ll leave first, see
you for dinner tonight.”
It felt like the wife who had been waiting anxiously for her
husband to come home, begging him to return home.
Looking at her lonely figure walking away, Adelaide felt a bit
soft and sympathetic, even thinking that she had just put a
stereotype on her, not good.
“Did you bring the water bottle?” Reginald impatiently
reminded her.
Adelaide suddenly snapped out of it, remembered the thermos in her hand, and had to turn around to put it on Reginald’s desk
first. “Mr. Thorton, this.”
“Don’t be fooled by her superficial appearance,” Reginald
reminded her unkindly.
Chapter146
“Ah?” Adelaide was stunned.
Reginald let out a cold snort from his throat, couldn’t be
bothered to give a detailed explanation, just said, “You’ll find out
later, go get the water glass, don’t delay the work.“‘
From the looks of it, Adelaide felt like he wasn’t intentionally
exaggerating.
Laney just now, she looked really pitiful. If you were an
outsider, your first reaction would definitely be that Reginald
was too harsh and heartless.
Laney, who had already left in the car, had a sweet and lovely
face that now looked extremely sinister and eerie.
“Find out for me, what’s the deal with that Adelaide in
Reginald’s team.”
Laney couldn’t get Adelaide’s dazzling face out of her mind, the
woman’s sixth sense, this person was very dangerous to her.
It’s very, very dangerous!
***
The whole afternoon was like watching paint dry for Adelaide.
As soon as it was time to leave work, Adelaide packed up and was ready to go, only to find that Reginald had already beaten

her to the elevator.
She remembered what Ms. Walton said in the afternoon.
