Chapter 294: 294. Ran into the gun_1 Chapter 294: 294. Ran into the gun_1 He gripped Elly Campbell’s hand, grinding his teeth as he said, “Do you still have feelings for in your heart? Are you avoiding because you’re afraid you won’t be able to control yourself and fall for again?”
With his concise words, he laid bare the unease in Elly Campbell’s heart right in front of her, causing her complexion to shift ever so slightly.
“It seems your concussion is really serious, you’re starting to have delusions.”
She cast a cold glance at Adam Jones, her expression as calm as still water without a single ripple.
“I let you stay last night because your injury was caused by . I’m not so irresponsible to dismiss that, but it doesn’t an anything.”
At this, she paused, then laughed and said, “Do you really think if soone else got injured because of you, I would take care of you like this?”
That expression was just short of saying “dream on” to his face.
Adam Jones was so taken aback by her words that he froze for a mont, his face growing several shades darker with anger.
Seeing Elly Campbell glance at her watch, she said, “I’m in a hurry and have to leave now. If President Jones isn’t in a rush to leave, he can wait for to co back and I’ll take you ho.”
After finishing, she stepped forward and opened the door.
The sudden opening of the door caught Robert Green, who was just about to ring the bell, off guard. When he saw Elly Campbell’s placid face, he imdiately put on his signature smile, “Madam.”
“Aide Baker? Weren’t you sent on a business trip to Annapolis? You’re back so soon?”
Caught off guard by Elly Campbell’s question, Robert Green montarily froze before he seed to rember sothing and nodded in realization.
“Ah… oh, yes, sothing ca up suddenly, so I ca back first and had soone else from the departnt go instead.”
Elly Campbell didn’t press further, rely nodding at Robert Green and saying, “In that case, I’ll leave President Jones in your care.”
Without so much as looking back at Adam Jones, whose face was as dark as the deep water behind her, she stepped out and left.
Robert Green heaved a sigh of relief when Elly Campbell didn’t press him.
That was close, he almost blew his cover.
Stepping inside, the smile he had maintained vanished instantly when he saw the grim expression on his boss’s face.
What… what had he done wrong?
He hadn’t slipped up in front of the lady just now.
Robert Green was puzzled, at a loss for his boss’s thoughts, and couldn’t help but feel a tremor of trepidation.
“President… President, I’ve brought the clothes you are to wear today,” he said.
As a conscientious personal assistant, Robert Green felt he was quite dutiful, yet this only earned him a cold and dangerous look from his superior.
“You’ll report to the mailroom tomorrow.”
Robert Green: “!!!!”
No, what had he done wrong?
Why was the president sending him to the mailroom!!!
Swallowing hard, Robert Green tentatively asked, “President, I… I didn’t do anything wrong.”
“Is that so?”
Adam Jones looked at him with a sinister and unnerving smile, “Maybe deducting two months of your salary will jog your mory.”
No!!!
Robert Green’s heart crumbled!
He truly hadn’t done anything wrong!
It must have been the madam upsetting President Jones, and he just arrived at the wrong ti, caught in the crossfire.
Adam Jones, with a face as dark as thunder, finished his washing, frustrated by the thought of Elly Campbell’s indifference.
He had humbled himself and shalessly sought reconciliation, couldn’t she soften her heart even a little bit?
After ntally cursing the heartless woman for a long ti, he finished cleaning up and left the bathroom to find Aide Baker, soon to be dispatched to the mailroom, still standing diligently in the room, waiting.
