Chapter36 Reginald gave her a side - eye and asked , " Eating out ? " " I did it myself ." " It looks like someone had a big meal ." Upon hearing this , Adelaide looked at him in confusion , " Why do you say that ? " " The first thing after work , isn't it rushing home to cook a big meal ? " She was right , he was indeed implying her . Then she asked sincerely , " Can't Orvenix Group get off work on time ? " Reginald narrowed his eyes and said , " There's no such rule . " The next second , she asked seriously again , " What did Mr. Thorton mean on purpose ? " Reginald felt like he really should take back what he said before , she was so tough , really tough . She used to seem quite cautious and timid , but now she's just speaking her mind . He picked up the public chopsticks and put a piece of ribs in her Chapter36 bowl . " I apologize . " Adelaide was made awkward by his sincere apology , making her look like a rebellious employee . Plus , it was him who brought up the topic in the first place , she just responded truthfully . Although she thought so in her heart , she didn't say it out loud . She just said thank you and then picked up the ribs to eat . The taste was really good . The meal ended quickly . Adelaide just remembered something serious - where to work ? If she goes to the study , she decides to refuse … " Why are you standing there , not coming over ? " Reginald said , standing in the living room . Adelaide couldn't help but ask , " Is it in the living room ? " Reginald turned to the side and joked , " Ms. Pierce , are you heading to the study ? " " I liked it here , good lighting , spacious , perfect for overtime ," Adelaide sat directly on the sofa chair with her tablet . Reginald didn't continue teasing her , ' cause he got a call . He asked Draven to prepare some snacks for her , then he walked Chapter36 out of the yard to answer the phone . Adelaide was sweating bullets , her nerves stretched tight before finally relaxing . Reginald was acting like a thug one moment , then overly gentlemanly the next . If she didn't stay on high alert , she felt like she might have to wave the white flag . Right now , in the yard . Reginald answered a call from his toxic friend . If you don't pick up , this toxic friend could kill to here in half an hour . " Mr. Thorton , are you that busy ? " The sarcastic friend spoke first . " You're not busy , are you ? " Reginald lit a cigarette . " What's so urgent that you need to find me ? " Bad influence friend didn't beat around the bush, gossiping : " I heard the news , Adelaide has already started working in your team . " " Um ." " My friend waited for a moment , then exclaimed in shock : " What ? What ?! Come on , spill the details ! " Reginald calmly took a puff of his cigarette , raised an eyebrow , and looked at Adelaide , who was sitting on the sofa , working diligently . Deep and long eyes actually had been churning for a long time . He casually said , " She's here to work , what more details do you want ? " " Reginald , what are you pretending to be in front of me ! " The sarcastic friend almost shouted himself hoarse . He wanted to twist his head off . " She got married and then went to work at your place . Others may not know , but do I not know you ! You are really bad , I don't believe in any bullshit three - year bet . If you didn't do anything wrong , I'll stand on my head and wash my hair for three months ! " Reginald chuckled , he really wanted to twist his head . Chapter37
