Chapter 28 You Still Want to Hide It from Me?
“Ding—” With a sound, the lift door opened, and Adele had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk out.
She couldn’t run away at the last minute, and she had to send the document over.
She took a deep breath, steadied her steps, and walked as calmly as possible.
When she reached the office door, she raised her hand and knocked on the door. When she heard the sound inside, she pushed the door open and entered.
Damon was sitting in front of the desk and flipping through documents. He was the only one in the entire large office.
“Mr. Yusuf, this is the document you asked for.” Adele clenched the document and slowly walked forward.
“Alright, put it down.” Damon nodded slightly, his expression not changing much.
“If there’s nothing else I’m needed for, I’ll go out first.” Adele blinked and continued.
“Why did you suddenly come to the company? Didn’t I tell you to rest at home?” Damon asked.
“I… I was too bored at home, so I came to work.” Adele hesitated for a moment.
After hearing this, Damon suddenly stood up and walked to her side, staring down at her. “What’s wrong with your feet?”
Adele was stunned and subconsciously took half a step back.
She had clearly endured the pain and tried to walk normally, and how could he still see through her?
Damon frowned and reached out to pull her to the sofa next to her. “Don’t move, let me see.”
As he spoke, he squatted down and removed the high heels from her feet.
Adele’s foot shrank back, but her ankle was still grabbed by the man.
Damon lowered his head. When he saw the bloody wound on the woman’s pale foot, his eyes suddenly darkened.
The wound on her foot was so serious, but she still did not say a word!
Nameless anger rose in his heart. Damon frowned, stared at Adele, and asked, “How long do you want to hide it?”
Hearing his question, Adele was immediately speechless. She could only lower her head and no longer speak.
Damon got up and opened the cabinet next to him. He found the spare medical kit and took out gauze and medicine from it to treat Adele’s wound.
He sat down next to Adele and placed her calf on his leg. His movements were gentle and careful as he treated her wound.
Looking at the man’s handsome side profile and serious expression, Adele’s cheeks kept heating up. In the end, they burned like a ball of fire.
“Uh… I didn’t do anything out of line last night, did I?” Adele forced herself to divert her attention.
Hearing her suddenly mentioning last night, Damon’s expression changed slightly. He looked at the woman, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes. “Do you want to know what happened last night?”
“I… didn’t cause you any trouble, did I?” Adele immediately nodded seriously.
“If hugging my neck and taking the initiative to kiss me is not troublesome, then there is no.” Damon raised his eyebrows and continued to bandage her foot.
“What?” Adele was shocked and could not help but cry out, “I…”
The heat rushed up to the top of her head, making Adele’s already red cheeks even hotter, and even her ears were red.
She had actually hugged Damon’s neck last night to kiss him? This was too shameful!
Seeing the change in the woman’s expression, a smile appeared on the corner of Damon’s lips. He bandaged the wound and reminded, “If the shoes are not suitable, change them.”
As he spoke, he stood up, walked to his desk, and made a phone call, “Send a pair of thirty-six-yard female flat shoes over.”
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone, walked to the sofa, and warned Adele, “Later, Ben will send the flat shoes over. You can change your shoes before going out.”
“And this pair of shoes, don’t wear them in the future.”
Adele sat on the sofa and answered obediently, “Oh.”
Not long after, Ben knocked on the door and came in. He brought over a pair of brand new shoes.
Originally, Ben did not know why his president suddenly wanted a pair of ladies’ shoes. However, when he saw Adele, he immediately understood. He put down the shoes and immediately went out. He was determined not to be a third wheel.
Looking at the shoes that Damon handed over, Adele’s heart warmed. She said softly, “Thank you.”
She did not know how Damon could tell that she had injuries on her feet, but there was no doubt that he was a considerate man.
“This is what I should do. There’s no need to thank me. How do you feel on your first day at work after your promotion?” Damon asked indifferently.
“It’s pretty good…” Adele took a deep breath.
“Okay. If there’s anything you need help with, just look for Ben.”
As Damon spoke, he returned to his desk and continued to look through the documents.
Adele changed her shoes and put her high heels into the bag before leaving the office.
After the treatment, there was still some pain in her wound, but it was much better than before.
What she had not expected was that Damon would be so meticulous that he even specially told Ben to send her a pair of flats.
Thinking of this, Adele unconsciously laughed out loud. She reached out to pat her red cheeks and walked forward.
“Wait a minute!”
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind. Adele was stunned and turned around.
It was Sherry, the secretary she had met yesterday when she came to deliver the pork rib soup to Damon.
“Which department are you from?” Sherry asked, staring at her cautiously.
Adele did not have a good impression of her, but she did not want to talk to her so much, so she simply replied, “Administrative Department.”
Hearing Adele’s voice, Sherry suddenly frowned and glanced at her badge. “Adele Wes? Have we met somewhere before? Your voice is very familiar…”
“Have we?” Adele said with a smile.
Sherry frowned and finally fixed her eyes on the shoes on Adele’s feet. “I saw Assistant Johnson take a pair of shoes into the office just now. Is it the pair on your feet?”
Adele frowned and said coldly, “Ms. Turkle, I still have work to do. Excuse me.”
As she spoke, she took a step forward and was about to walk forward.
“Stop right there. I’m telling you, no matter which department you’re from, I’ll give you a word of advice. Don’t try to hook up with our Mr. Yusuf! As long as I work here, don’t even think about it!”
Hearing Sherry say this, Adele couldn’t help but frown. It turned out that she was treating her as an imaginary enemy.
“Ms. Turkle, not everyone is as bored as you.” Adele smiled and said.
“What do you mean by that?” Sherry’s face turned pale when she heard what Adele said.
Adele was too lazy to pay attention to her and continued to walk forward without stopping.
Seeing Adele walk into the lift, Sherry was angry and annoyed, and she glared at her fiercely.
She still felt that she had heard Adele’s voice somewhere before.
Suddenly, a picture flashed through her mind.
The person who had come to deliver food to Damon with a hat and mask that day seemed to be Adele!
