Adelaide unwrapped the paper, popped the chocolate into her
mouth, and sighed, “I offended Mr. Thorton’s fiancee!”
Knowing that Laney had a good relationship with Reginald’s
mother, she wondered if Laney would go back and tell on
Reginald’s mother.
She had only been working for a few days, is she going to be
quietly fired?
Mara’s eyes flickered and she said, “Ms. Pierce, Ms. Walton is not
the boss’s fiancee.“”
Adelaide lazily nibbled on chocolate, lost in thought and
unaware of her abnormality. But she still responded, “Yeah, it
hasn’t been officially announced. But she can come and go as
she pleases here, so it’s kind of like an unofficial
announcement.”
The more Adelaide thought about what she had just done, the
more worried she felt.
She propped up her chin, tilted her head to look at Mara, and
said, “Ms. Ortega, do you think I might be the first employee to
get fired for offending the future boss lady?”

“Our team reports directly to Mr. Thorton, can anyone above
him fire me? Well, they should make Mr. Thorton fire me
personally, right?”
“Um….” Mara didn’t dare to make too obvious of an expression,
but Adelaide still didn’t understand.
She swore that starting from tomorrow, she definitely won’t chat with Adelaide anymore.
I’m sorry, Ms. Pierce…
Thinking about how Reginald lost his voice after arguing with his family last night, Adelaide felt even more uneasy. “I think I might have caused trouble for Mr. Thorton. Ms. Ortega, do you think I can still take a day off now to go shopping and have
dinner with Ms. Walton?”
As soon as the words fell, a hand pressed on her desk.
It’s a man’s hand.
Tall, beautiful, veins popping, winding up, full of tension.
And that watch told Adelaide who the owner of the watch was.
Adelaide choked, her scalp starting to feel tight and taut.
Is it that bad?

Got caught yesterday, and got caught again today?!
Someone leaned in close to her.
The familiar scent of incense really hit her nose, and her
colleagues once again tacitly lowered their heads pretending to
be busy working.
“Adelaide, come in with your tablet,” a low, chilly voice
whispered into her ear.
Reginald dropped the mic and walked away.
Adelaide came again with a poker face.
She picked up the tablet, and Mara across from her said, “Ms.
Pierce, I’m sorry.”
Adelaide sighed, “Let’s not talk about Mr. Thornton next time,
let’s talk about someone else.”
Mara nodded and gave a thumbs up. Anyway, she still has a lot
of other gossip.
Walking into the office with her tablet, Adelaide glanced over
and saw Reginald sitting on the sofa this time.
I was on the phone.
“Spread the word, even my mom can’t come in and out of the
Chapter153
company without an appointment.”
“Adelaide took a deep breath, then her heart started racing and
she felt extremely nervous.”
Seeing the call ended, she awkwardly said, “Mr. Thorton, I didn’t
mean anything by those words just now.”
Reginald raised an eyebrow, looking at me like “I don’t believe
you,” and said, “So why did Ms. Ortega say she’s not my fiancee,
but you keep insisting she is? Are you in a rush to help her
establish her identity?”

“…..not!” Adelaide said, looking down.
“I didn’t give her the privilege to come in and out of the group, it
wasn’t me.”
“I know,” she lowered her head even further.
“Then I gotta thank you, thinking about my whole family like
that.”
“No problem, no problem.”
“Adelaide!”
Adelaide was startled when she heard her name, she looked up and saw the man approaching.
