Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 A Perfect Match with Deborah 

A document fell to the ground, sca tt ering papers everywhere.

Chandler panicked, and his assistant’s face turned pale. In a hurry, they crouched down and clumsily picked up the

papers.

Chandler seemed to be worried that Deborah might have seen something. After the assistant picked up the documents,

he quickly glanced at Deborah again.

The text on the document was quite small, and Deborah didn’t have good enough eyesight to be able to read what was

written on it in such a short amount of time.

Ashton made way, and the assistant also pushed Chandler to the side, moving them a bit further away.

Deborah and the Moxley family passed by, heading towards their reserved private room.

She didn’t say a word, as it was none of her business.

As she walked away, she heard Chandler speaking behind her, “Mr. Mullen, let’s go inside and talk. I am about discussing this contract with you, I assure you…”

Before he could finish speaking, Ashton walked straight inside.

Chandler wanted to catch up, as this might be his only chance.

But Jeff stopped him, not allowing him to catch up any further.

very sincere

Deborah followed the Moxley family into the private room, and she couldn’t help but recall the flustered appearance of

Chandler just moments ago.

The document must be quite important. Chandler is currently the acting CEO of the Black Group, and the power hasn’t

been handed back to Joseph yet. It’s likely that he’s taking a risk and making some moves within the company.

If he hadn’t obtained something important, he probably wouldn’t have had such confidence to insist on discussing

the contract with Ashton.

However, considering his current situation, he had no other options left and would definitely be unwilling to give up

what he had in hand.

Taking a risk was inevitable on his part..

Upon entering the private room, Adrian and Alyssa sat on either side of Deborah.

Evelyn also wanted to sit with her and gossip about what happened between her and Joseph last night.

Seeing that both sides of Deborah’s seat were taken, she reluctantly went to sit somewhere else.

Donna spoke up, asking her to sit next to Adrian. Reluctantly, she got up and moved to sit beside him.

Adrian’s gaze was fixed on Deborah, as he asked her in a rather fawning manner, “Debby, are you thirsty? Let me pour you something to drink. You don’t drink alcohol, right? Would you prefer water or a beverage?”

Deborah didn’t respond. Adrian glanced at her and noticed that she was lost in thought, her mind wandering off to

who knows where.

Adrian waved his hand in front of her eyes, “What are you thinking about?”

Deborah snapped back to reality and took out her phone from her bag, “I’m going to the restroom.”

Adrian let out an “Oh,” and as she stood up, he said, “I’ll go with you.”

Deborah lowered her gaze, her eyes expressing a myriad of emotions as she looked at him and said, “Huh?”

Adrian felt a bit awkward, “What I meant was, I’ll go with you to the outside of the restroom. Never mind, never mind, you go ahead.”

Deborah, holding her phone, went out first.

Evelyn sneered from the side, “Simp.”

Alyssa immediately chimed in, “Wishful thinking.”

Adrian, with a face full of annoyance, asked, “What are you two talking about?”

Evelyn and Alyssa both ignored him.

Deborah stepped out of the private room, feeling uneasy. She decided to give Joseph a call anyway.

The call was quickly connected, and a somewhat noisy sound came through the phone..

“Debby, what’s wrong?”

Deborah walked to a quieter spot at the end of the hallway before speaking up, “Are you busy? I just ran into Chandler at the restaurant, and there’s something I wanted to tell you.”

“Please feel free to help yourselves to anything you’d like to eat or drink. It’s an honor to have Old Mrs. Moxley visit my humble abode, so I insist on treating you all today. I won’t bother you any longer.”

He spoke, then turned around to signal the restaurant manager who had just entered. The manager immediately

ordered someone to bring in the wine.

Donna, being very particular about etiquette, had already received wine from Joseph and even had him treat her to a

meal. There was no way she would let him leave just like that.

She looked at Adrian seriously, signaling him to make room.

Adrian didn’t care and didn’t want to get up. “There are plenty of empty seats over there. Mr. Black, feel free to sit anywhere you like. No need to be polite.”

Donna was so angry that she almost hit him.

Alyssa noticed Donna’s discomfort and immediately stood up, “Mr. Black, please take my seat. I’ll go sit with Great-Grandma Donna,”

As she spoke, she walked towards Donna.

For the first time ever, Joseph was genuinely taken aback by the unexpected favor, as Alyssa made room for him.

Although it was mostly out of consideration for the many people present, they didn’t want Donna to lose face.

However, no matter what, he was genuinely happy.

He smiled and said, “Thank you, Alyssa. In that case, I won’t be shy.”

Alyssa didn’t say much and went to sit next to Donna.

Adrian said in a low voice, annoyed, “Could you at least be a bit more polite?”

Joseph sat down, having heard that Donna’s favorite chef, Misael, happened to be on vacation today. Donna believed

thai Misael made the most authentic smoked duck.

Joseph immediately made another call, inviting the person over. As it turned out, they were nearby and arrived without hesitation.

Donna was even more delighted, and she couldn’t help but praise Joseph, “I’m not just saying this, but the more I see of this young Mr. Black, the more I like him. He’s talented, sensible, and a perfect match for Ms. Shepherd.”

Adrian muttered under his breath, “Just look at who doesn’t like it.”

Joseph smiled as he continued the conversation, looking towards Donna.

Deborah’s hand was resting on her lap when suddenly, she felt someone grasp it.
