Wife is a Lawyer novel Chapter 154

Alston Group, Office of the President.

Adriana knocked on the door and stood in the office. As soon as she saw Peter, she remembered what Theresa had said today and was a little distracted.

"Mr. Alston, what time do you want to leave? Is there anything else I need to prepare, please?"

Before coming to the office, Adriana went home to change into a professional outfit, well dressed, and considered properly dressed.

Peter handled the paperwork, not forgetting to glance up at her, and saw that he looked pale, and his hanging heart fell.

"Theresa went to see you?"

He asked.

"Mr. Alston, company, no personal matters." Adriana didn't want to have too many personal conversations with him.

After the recent events, the most important thing she needs to do now is to fight back and get out of her current situation.

However, everything does not look so easy.

Peter raised his eyebrows, closed the file and leaned lazily in the executive chair, "Say."

The sudden shift in attitude was cold and raw.

Adriana hooked her lips in a smile, "What else could be said? What do you think, what will she say?"

The words that were said, Adriana were embarrassed to say, and naturally could not be said.

After all, that's between her and Theresa.

"Theresa She ......"

"It's already six o'clock, has Mr. Alston made his reservation at the hotel?" Peter just wanted to say something, Adriana directly interrupted him.

"Hmm."

"And what other documents do I need to prepare?"

"No need, just have the people there."

Knock Knock-

There was a knock on the office door, "Enter." Peter answered.

The office door opened and the person who pushed in was Theresa.

"Peter ......"

She called Peter's name, and when she found Adriana standing in the office, her face sank, but she still wore a decent smile, "Adri, you're here too."

"Talking business with Mr. Alston."

Adriana's attitude was slightly rusty.

"Oh."

Theresa answered and walked up to Peter, "Peter, I heard that you are taking Adri to a social gathering today? She is not well and has been suffering from intestinal discomfort recently, so it is better for me to accompany you."

Saying that, she took Peter's wrist and pouted, "No matter what, Adri is my BFF, you have to be gentle with her."

"A job is a job, and you should know the difference between public and private."

Peter got up and walked around past Theresa, "Let's go."

The two words were dropped coldly, clearly addressed to Adriana's.

"Good."

Adriana nodded and was about to leave, but Theresa pulled her back, "Adriana, why are you doing this? You clearly told me you wouldn't be with him, but why are you now?"

"It's work."

She explained.

"What kind of work? You, an employee of the legal department, can report anything directly to the head of the legal department, it's your turn to see Peter directly?"

Theresa has a bad attitude.

It seems that it is because Adriana and Peter are going to the banquet together in the evening that the anger and jealousy in her heart is stirred up.

"There was a loophole in the contract I passed and it cost the company money, and I am meeting with Mr. Alston today to recover the loss from the partner company. If you think you can too, then you go, and I'll go home now as long as Mr. Alston agrees."

"Then why did you stay at the Alston Group, wasn't it to have more chance to meet Peter?"

"At Alston Group, it was Brenden's decision."

Adriana shook off her hand, "Is there anything else, I'll leave if there's nothing else."

The two sisters turned against each other, everything will be like broken porcelain, can never be glued together, can not return to the past.

Because a man ruined the good between two people, something Adriana didn't expect.

When she walked out of the office, she found Peter standing in front of the elevator waiting for her.

Adriana walked over and the elevator opened just in time for the two to enter, but both were silent.

The elevator went down to the negative second floor parking lot and followed closely behind.

After driving around and finding Peter's car, she got into the passenger side.

asked, "Isn't Hank coming?"

Usually, Hank and Peter are almost always together, but Hank has rarely been seen for a while now.

Not to mention that this kind of socializing should be better with Hank around.

"No need."

Peter turned around, took a file from the back row and tossed it to Adriana, "Read the file."

"Good."

Adriana tries to keep her mind calm, and when she faces Peter, she controls herself not to think about it, and only positions him as her boss.

Opened the file and looked down at it intently.

That look, fell in Peter's eyes, even by how she is forced to play it cool will also show a trace of panic emotions.

"Why are you running away?"

Mojing turned sideways, one hand on the steering wheel, one hand on the car seat lean.

Adriana's gaze faltered, and her hand stiffened for a few moments as she flipped through the documents.

But in a moment he regained his naturalness, his lips curled into some formulaic smile, and his voice softened, "Running away from what, I didn't understand what Mr. Alston was saying."

Saying that, Adriana pointed to the document and asked, "This company has a partnership with The Grant Family as well?"

The Grant Family, that's the Alvin family business, isn't it?

"Yes."

"So, Alvin's coming tonight, too?" She asked.

Just wanted to know what would happen this evening, so went into detail and asked.

As a result, her words fell and she couldn't wait for a long time for a response.

Side eye that moment, the party found the man's gloomy face, cloudy, is a storm is coming.

Adriana understood something as an afterthought, and immediately skipped her face to look out the window, "Hurry up, or you'll be late later."

Deliberately digressing from the topic, not wanting Peter to get angry with her there.

Yet someone misunderstood her, "What, can't wait to meet Alvin?"

For a while now, Alvin has been traveling abroad on company business.

It must have been a while since Adriana and Alvin have seen each other.

Adriana pursed her lips, helplessly closed her eyes took a deep breath and said, "Peter, can you not be so childish?"

Really convinced!

"I'm talking to you about work stuff, where are you going with this? Besides, Alvin and I are friends, whatever the situation is is my own business, it has nothing to do with you, right?"

She would not have stayed at Alston Group if she had not been forced by Brenden.

But now she is forced to do nothing, there is no way out.

She let out a scolding, Peter gods awake a little, raised his hand to ruffle his short hair, emotions look a little agitated.

"I'm sorry."

It seems that one should not talk to Adriana like that.

In the end, he was wrong.

Hearing the man's apology, Adriana was a little surprised, glancing at him out of the corner of her eye and shaking her head, "Let's go."

"Adriana, you can think about what I've told you today."

He added.

"Consider what?"

She glared coldly, "You're Theresa's fiancé, and I'll never be able to be with you."

"What if I break off the engagement with her?"

Peter replied instantly, seeming to find a glimmer of light in Adriana's words.

Adriana is furious and deeply in a whirlpool.
