Chapter146Â
A beautiful woman came into view.Â
Seeing the woman’s skeptical and hostile gaze, Adelaide wasÂ
almost instantly convinced that she was the one the party had aÂ
crush on.Â
Nathan spoke up from behind: “Mr. Thorton, Ms. Walton isÂ
looking for you.”Â
Adelaide shifted her body to avoid eye contact.Â
Laney had a sweet smile on her face and held up the thermos in her hand, “Reginald, Mrs. Thorton asked me to bring you someÂ
sweet soup.”Â
Reginald’s face turned cold, he ignored her, and asked Nathan,Â
“Did she make an appointment?”Â
Nathan answered, “No.”Â
“If you make such a basic mistake again next time, you’ll have to redo a few days of assistant training.”Â
“Yes, Mr. Thorton.” Nathan responded quickly, already politelyÂ
addressing Laney, “Ms. Walton, please.”Â
Chapter146Â
Laney: “………Â
I was thinking of borrowing Nyasia’s sweet soup, at leastÂ
Reginald would let her step into the office.Â
Who would have thought, he didn’t even give his own motherÂ
face.Â
The atmosphere was awkward.Â
Adelaide felt that it wasn’t very good for her to keep standingÂ
here.Â
So she wanted to take the opportunity to slowly paddle out.Â
Whoever wanted Reginald suddenly shouted at her, “Ms. Pierce,Â
grab the water glass and come back quickly!”Â
Adelaide froze up.Â
Sure enough, the hostile looks that were already directed at herÂ
now shamelessly fell on her again.Â
Adelaide already knew what Ms. Walton would react to her,Â
she mentally bowed to Reginald’s ancestors eighteenÂ
generations.Â
Who would have thought that the next second, Laney just handed her the thermos: “Ms. Pierce, right?”Â
Chapter146Â
“Yeah,” Adelaide nodded, “Hello, Ms. Walton.”Â
Laney nodded without hesitation, “Can you help me take it inÂ
later?”Â
Adelaide was surprised.Â
After saying that, Laney turned away without any emotion,Â
and even said in a calm tone, “Reginald, this was personallyÂ
stewed by Mrs. Thorton for a long time. Remember to drink itÂ
and don’t disappoint Mrs. Thorton’s kindness. I’ll leave first, seeÂ
you for dinner tonight.”Â
It felt like the wife who had been waiting anxiously for herÂ
husband to come home, begging him to return home.Â
Looking at her lonely figure walking away, Adelaide felt a bitÂ
soft and sympathetic, even thinking that she had just put aÂ
stereotype on her, not good.Â
“Did you bring the water bottle?” Reginald impatientlyÂ
reminded her.Â
Adelaide suddenly snapped out of it, remembered the thermos in her hand, and had to turn around to put it on Reginald’s deskÂ
first. “Mr. Thorton, this.”Â
“Don’t be fooled by her superficial appearance,” ReginaldÂ
reminded her unkindly.Â
Chapter146Â
“Ah?” Adelaide was stunned.Â
Reginald let out a cold snort from his throat, couldn’t beÂ
bothered to give a detailed explanation, just said, “You’ll find outÂ
later, go get the water glass, don’t delay the work.“‘Â
From the looks of it, Adelaide felt like he wasn’t intentionallyÂ
exaggerating.Â
Laney just now, she looked really pitiful. If you were anÂ
outsider, your first reaction would definitely be that ReginaldÂ
was too harsh and heartless.Â
Laney, who had already left in the car, had a sweet and lovelyÂ
face that now looked extremely sinister and eerie.Â
“Find out for me, what’s the deal with that Adelaide inÂ
Reginald’s team.”Â
Laney couldn’t get Adelaide’s dazzling face out of her mind, theÂ
woman’s sixth sense, this person was very dangerous to her.Â
It’s very, very dangerous!Â
***Â
The whole afternoon was like watching paint dry for Adelaide.Â
As soon as it was time to leave work, Adelaide packed up and was ready to go, only to find that Reginald had already beatenÂ

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