A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 131

Consumed with thoughts about what had just happened, Robert retrieved his cellphone from his pocket and called his secretary.

One ring later, his secretary's voice was on the other end "Any orders, Mr. Huo?"

"Prepare a CV for me. As soon as possible." Clear and concise, he had no time to waste. He cut the call and placed his cellphone back in his pocket, and continued driving.

When Robert entered the house and changed his shoes, Adam was sitting in front of the TV, watching news. Robert sighed with resignation "Adam has become a couch potato recently. His attention fixated on the news for hours on end." He murmured to himself.

Robert understood his pain, but he couldn't do anything to help Adam.

His eye was damaged due to high concentration sulfuric acid and the doctors said he would not recover. At that time, he almost lost his life.

Hearing the door open, Adam looked up and a smile formed on his face. "Robert, you're back." Even his bad eye showed his tenderness.

"Yes." Robert nodded, reciprocating the smile.

"Why have you come back home so early? Weren't you supposed to have lunch with her?"

"Forget it." Robert's expression changed drastically. Why did he have to bring her up? He thought to himself, taking off his coat and approaching the sofa where Adam had sat.

Sitting beside him, he responded, "Her fiancé took her away right after we had ordered." His voice dripped with sadness.

A flash of evilness flashed across Adam's eyes, oblivious to Robert's tone. "Then I'll tie her back and send her to you as a birthday gift."

Although Robert was moved that Adam remembered his birthday was in a couple of days, he was amused by his words. Turning to look at Adam, he responded, "What are you thinking about, huh?"

"I want to help you get the girl."

Adam raised his head, looking at Robert innocently. Their eyes met for a brief second before Robert broke off the contact.

His lips twitched, as he attempted to suppress the truth; that she loved her fiancé, Charles Mu. Robert didn't want to mention Charles because he wasn't sure how Adam would react. He didn't want him to relive that trauma.

He patted Adam on his head and remained silent. "Well, are you hungry now, Robert? Alice Mei has already prepared lunch; you can go have some in the kitchen. I think I'll go take a nap."

Said Adam, rubbing his eyes.

Robert nodded. "Okay."

Adam left the living room for his bedroom and closed the door gently, leaving Robert to his thoughts.

Robert's hunger had dissipated?after the incident at the restaurant.

After Charles Mu took Linda away, he paid the bill disappointedly and went home without eating. It was only until Adam reminded him that he felt the pang of hunger. He could hear his empty stomach rumbling.

"Lets see what Alice Mei has cooked for lunch." He said, standing up from the sofa and heading to the kitchen.

When he walked into the kitchen, he found Alice Mei cleaning. She smiled and said, "Are you hungry, Young Master?"

"Yeah. Is there anything to eat?" Robert asked, clutching his stomach to stifle the grumbling noises.
