Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

In less than ten minutes, these photos were once again trending.

“Wow! Adele is really good! Changing dates every day!”

“Yeah! This girl usually looks quite low-key! I didn’t expect…”

“Didn’t you say that she was pestering our Mr. Yusuf? Why did she change her target again?”

“…”

All kinds of suspicions surged in the group like waves, and they did not calm down for a long time.

Adele and Brayden were on their way to the restaurant, and their phones almost rang non-stop at the same time.

Adele took out her phone and saw all kinds of messages. She opened tone group and found that they were all discussions about her and Brayden.

Brayden also looked at his phone and quickly understood. He frowned and whispered, “Adele, don’t listen to their nonsense. The people in the company just like to make a fuss!”

“It’s okay, I don’t care.” Adele heard this and smiled.

What she cared about was whether Damon would be implicated because of her. Now that everyone knew about her gossip with others, it would slowly fade the matter between her and Damon. From another perspective, it was also a good thing.

Brayden, who was next to her, saw that her expression was normal and was not angry, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, they arrived at the restaurant.

Brayden booked a unique western restaurant. There was a French window, a small light bulb, and a small bouquet on the table. The atmosphere was good, and it was very suitable for couples to go on dates.

After Adele sat down, she glanced around and found that most of the guests around were couples. She suddenly felt uncomfortable all over.

“What do you want to eat?”

Adele took a glance at the menu that Brayden handed over. “You can order.”

Hearing this, Brayden did not force her. He considerately ordered the dishes and then handed the menu back to the waiter.

After the waiter left, Brayden poured a glass of lemon water for Adele and said softly, “Adele, I know there are some rumors in the company recently. In fact, I think you don’t have to take it to heart. This kind of thing won’t last long, and no one will remember it.”

When Adele heard this, she smiled at him. “I know. Thank you for comforting me.”

She and Brayden met in a team game during the company sports meet. She could also see that Brayden was kind and a very nice guy. Now his comfort came from the bottom of his heart.

“That’s good. In short, if you encounter any difficulties, you can ask me for help.” Brayden nodded.

“Okay, I will.”

Not long after the two of them chatted, the dishes were served one after another. Adele lowered her head to eat. She did not speak much.

Suddenly, Brayden asked, “Adele, I am quite curious. What type of guys do you like?”

Adele tilted her head and thought about it. She almost subconsciously said, “Nice to me, independent and has his own thoughts.”.

When Brayden heard this, the smile on his face grew bigger, and he nodded in agreement, “It’s pretty good…”.

As he spoke, he looked at Adele and asked softly, “Do you want to know what type of girls I like?”

“What?” Adele paused as she drank the water.

“Cute and kind.”

As Brayden spoke, he slowly put down the fork and stared intently at Adele. “Actually, the person I like is…”

Adele looked up and met Brayden’s eyes. She suddenly became nervous.

She could almost guess what he would say next, and what she was most worried about and afraid of was the words he wanted to say.

Because from the beginning, she had no other intentions towards Brayden. Now, if he confessed his feelings, she had to refuse him.

Brayden was also very nervous. He swallowed his saliva and reorganized his words. “Adele, you should be able to see that I like you…”

“Buzz -”

The phone on the table vibrated at this time, interrupting what Brayden was going to say next. Adele secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “I need to get this, sorry.”

She picked up the phone, looked down, and was stunned when she saw the caller ID on the screen.

It was Damon! Why did he suddenly call her at this time?

Her calmed heart all of a sudden was suddenly nervous and worried again.

Adele took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and pressed the answer button.

“How have you been these days?” the man asked in a low voice.

These days, since he left, he had never called her. This was the first time.

Adele was in a complicated mood, but she still pretended to be calm. “Good. ”

There was a brief silence on the other end for two seconds, and then the man’s voice came again. “Yes, I will go back in the next few days. Wait for me.”

This sentence seemed to have an invisible magic. For some reason, Adele’s heart beat faster. She nodded and said nothing more. She hurriedly hung up the phone.

When she looked up, she saw that Brayden was staring at her in confusion. “Adele, what’s wrong?”

“I… I’m fine.” Adele looked at him and felt a sense of shame in her heart. Thinking of what Brayden had said just now, she became even more flustered.

“I need to go to the bathroom. Please wait here…”

She got up and walked quickly to the bathroom.

On the other side, Damon was sitting on the sofa. He glanced at the phone that had been hung up and subconsciously frowned.

This was the first time someone had dared to hang up on him.

The call ended, revealing what he was looking at just now. It was a photo. In the photo, Adele and Brayden were walking side by side…

Adele ran to the bathroom, her heart pounding.

She really had no way to continue this dinner, nor could she face Brayden’s confession, because the reason why she was willing to eat with him was just to use him as a shield.

Deep guilt welled up in her heart. She bit her lips. She knew that she could no longer face Brayden, and she could not bear to continue using him. She came out of the bathroom and left through the back door of the restaurant.

After leaving the restaurant, Adele got a taxi and told the driver the address of the villa. Only then did her mood slowly calm down.

She picked up her phone and sent Brayden an apology message. Although she expressed her apology, she did not explain the specific reason.

Soon, Brayden replied with a text message, “It’s fine. Go home early. We will meet again when there is a chance in the future.”

When she saw the message, Adele heaved a sigh of relief.

Now that she thought about it, she should not have used Brayden in the first place. Fortunately, she had realized her mistake and saved it in time. She did not make things worse.

However, reality was much worse than she had imagined.

The next day, Adele went to work as usual. Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the department, a colleague mocked and ridiculed her. “Ms. Wes, I heard that you went out on a date with Brayden from the finance department yesterday?”

Adele listened to her colleague’s strange tone and pretended not to hear anything. She continued to copy the documents.

Another colleague next to her joked with a smile, “That’s not a date! I heard that Ms. Wes left Brayden to the side and left the restaurant first!”

When Adele heard this, she suddenly paused in arranging the documents. A burst of anger surged in her heart.

How did they know? Did Brayden tell someone about what happened last night?
