Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 22

Adriana was soaked through. She wiped the water away from her face with the bath towel, shaking her head, and said, "I’m okay. I know you didn't mean it. It was just too crowded. Achoo”

It was so cold at night on the sea that Adriana kept sneezing. She tightened the bath towel. "Let's go back and get changed."

Then the two of them got off the deck. Theresa led Adriana to a suite on the fifth floor. "Go take a hot bath. I will get some clothes for you."

Theresa left the suite after settling Adriana.

Ten minutes later, a waiter came to Alvin. "Mr. Grant, Ms. Hale just fell into the water, and she sent me to tell you to bring her some clothes. Here is her room card. "

Alvin was drinking with people when he heard Adriana fall into the water. He was worried but wondered, "Isn't she here with her husband?"

"Well...I don't know, sir." The waiter shook his head and left.

Alvin didn't understand why she would ask him for help because he saw that she come with Kenny, her husband.

He felt confused.

"Alvin, what is the matter?"

A lady beside him nudged Alvin and asked.

“Excuse me, but I’ve got something to take care of now." Alvin put his glass down on the table, turned, and walked upstairs.

People who were left behind looked at each other and wondered, "Who is Ms. Hale?”

"I don’t know. Is she Alvin’s girlfriend?"

"Her name is Adriana Hale. I met her a few days ago. She’s quite beautiful, but she’s married."

"My goodness, Alvin fell for a married woman. Unbelievable. "

……

After getting a set of new clothes from the customer service, Alvin went up to the fifth floor.

When he got to the elevator, he saw Peter leaning against the wall beside the elevator, with his arms crossed over his chest, as if he were waiting for someone.

"Peter, why are you here?" Alvin asked.

"Waiting for you."

Peter straightened up, shoved his hands into his pockets, and walked up to Alvin. He glanced down at the clothes in Alvin’s hands. A touch of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

"What happened? Is there anything wrong?" Alvin was concerned when seeing the serious look on Peter's face.

"There was a brawl in the game hall on the lower ground, so you better go and take care of it now. After all, this is your place." Peter told him what happened.

"A brawl?" Alvin frowned slightly. "You could have just handled it for me."

Peter looked a bit more severer. "Those people are either rich or privileged. Any bad handling would cause adverse effects on your family business. Or is it more important to bring clothes to a vain woman than to deal with family issues? "

Peter was there when the brawl happened. He called Alvin immediately but couldn’t get through, so he had to go upstairs to find him. Then he was told that Adriana asked Alvin to bring clothes to her room.

He wondered what tricks that woman was going to play.

"Peter, Adriana is not the kind of person you think!" Alvin expostulated with him.

He had known Adriana for years and he knew her very well.

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, give me the room card!" Peter took the clothes over directly and spread out his hand for the card.

Alvin felt that it wouldn’t hurt to let Peter bring her the clothes. Besides, a brawl on a cruise ship was no small matter. As the host, he had to deal with it.

"Well, take good care of Adriana for me."
