Adriana would be crossing the line as she mentioned Richard's past relationship with Pearl. No one dared to bring it up.
Richard looked at Adriana coldly so she corrected herself hastily, "Richard, you need rest. I won't disturb you anymore."
Richard frowned when he spotted the panic in her eyes.
During all these years, Adriana always had been with him. She had a good temper. She was not a pain in the neck. She knew how she should behave. If he had to get married, she was the perfect candidate.
More importantly, she really loved him.
Richard's tone softened slightly for that. He replied, "Well, tell me when we get there."
"Okay."
Adriana told the driver to be slower and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner.
After finishing that, she found the man beside her already closed his eyes. He leaned against the seat, having a rest. So she couldn't ask the question she actually wanted to know.
Richard hid everything perfectly, but she knew that he raised his arm deliberately to knock Mrs. Harris in the corridor, so that Mrs. Harris's mobile phone fell into the bucket of water.
He seemed to hate Pearl. But he still defended her as she was in danger.
Adriana clenched her fists gradually and her fingernails pricked her palms.
......
After leaving the dean's office, Pearl's head was still in buzz.
She did not explain the video. The dean didn't ask too much about it either. After all it was a private thing. However, it indeed created a huge ruckus, thus she was suspended from work.
Pearl went back to her apartment. She dropped the car key on the table and slumped on the sofa, unwilling to move an inch anymore.
She just wanted to go back her country to work peacefully. But nothing went right here. Kityall almost be the worst city for her now. After coming back, she had encountered so many problems. First, it was Richard. Then her job now.
She was irked but the doorbell rang.
Food delivery? But, she did not order anything.
