Chapter125Â
“You think I don’t understand the real you, but one thing I’mÂ
sure I do understand about you. Your pride is too strong, soÂ
even if you have no money, you would never lower your headÂ
and ask Reginald for a penny. As for Teresa… you should wantÂ
to run her flower shop well, right?”Â
Adelaide’s eyes turned crimson in an instant, gritting her teethÂ
she said, “Spencer, you’re shameless!”Â
&Â
“Adele, don’t swear, I don’t like it, you’re a lady.”Â
“Screw you!”Â
After saying that, Adelaide hung up the phone and thenÂ
blocked his number.Â
She called several other banks again, same result. When askingÂ
for solutions, everyone just gave her the runaround.Â
She was even more furious, that shameless Spencer went toÂ
great lengths to freeze all her cards.Â
During lunch break, Mara wanted to drag her downstairs to theÂ
new restaurant for a meal, but Adelaide brushed her off withÂ
the excuse of dieting.Â
Chapter 125Â
She sat at her desk, drinking coffee, eating cookies.Â
Then I stared at the chat page with Teresa.Â
Teresa was her only friend, so when she asked Teresa forÂ
money, she naturally didn’t hesitate.Â
Spencer’s final threat was still lingering in her mind.Â
He could totally do this kind of thing.Â
In the end, Adelaide decided to give up taking the risk.Â
In just over half a month, she’ll get her paycheck. She’s notÂ
someone who can’t make it through. She would neverÂ
compromise with Spencer.Â
As for three meals a day, and car oil…Â
Dong-Â
The desk was suddenly knocked, and Adelaide snapped back toÂ
reality.Â
“What are you staring at?”Â
Adelaide pretended to be calm: “I was just thinking about theÂ
design plans.”Â
Reginald glanced at the half–eaten cookie in her hand, frowned,Â
and asked, “Is this your lunch?”Â

“I…” Adelaide nodded, “want to lose weight.”Â
“52 kilograms, what’s there to lose weight for,” Reginald saidÂ
unhappily.Â
Adelaide looked surprised and asked, “How do you even knowÂ
my weight?”Â
When she asked that, she felt like it was just anotherÂ
unnecessary thing.Â
After all, this person even knew that she liked to drink pearÂ
juice.Â
“Let’s go, come out with me.”Â
“Was it to see a client?” Adelaide asked, getting upÂ
unconsciously.Â
“Um.”Â
Adelaide grabbed her work badge, picked up her bag, andÂ
followed Reginald’s pace.Â
Reginald drove himself to meet the client this time, didn’t evenÂ
bring Nathan.Â
We went to a traditional–style courtyard restaurant.Â
Walking through the corridor and entering a private room,Â
Chapter125Â
Adelaide was startled by the man sitting inside.Â
The boss of Kirby Restaurant?!Â
“Hey, Ms. Pierce, here we are again,” Kyson said with a tilt of hisÂ
head and a wave of his hand, showing off his charming andÂ
easy–going gentlemanly demeanor.Â
“Hello,” Adelaide nodded in response.Â
“Kyson, my friend,” Reginald introduced.Â
“Wrong, it’s fair–weather friends,” Kyson corrected.Â
Reginald grunted, “Have a seat.” He said this to Adelaide.Â
Adelaide quickly figured out what was going on, theirÂ
relationship was not just a regular friendship.Â
After sitting down, Kyson smiled and asked, “Ms. Pierce, do youÂ
also do interior design?”Â
Adelaide reacted quickly this time. It looks like Reginald wantsÂ
her to help Kyson with interior design. Interior design isÂ
definitely different from architectural design, but she hasÂ
experience in both, so it shouldn’t be difficult.Â
Since Reginald asked her to take on this task, there must be aÂ
reason behind it.Â
Chapter125Â
“Yeah, been there.”Â
“That’s good, I thought this kid was trying to trick me. IÂ
remember you were doing architectural design.” KysonÂ
breathed a sigh of relief.Â
Reginald gave him a look and said to Adelaide, “He’ll quoteÂ
higher later, he’s got money!”Â
