Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Cindy thanked him and hung up the phone.

She suddenly realized, wasn’t Sheldon Rowland the special assistant of Pingla Group’s CEO?

Was this matter handled by Sheldon?

Did he see the news online and deal with it himself, or did Adrian Zhekova ask him to do it?

Cindy felt that she should call Sheldon anyway.

To thank him and ask about it.

She was searching for Sheldon’s phone number in her contacts when Adrian’s call came in.

It was just yesterday that Adrian had reminded her to save his number in her contacts.

Now, Adrian’s name was very prominently displayed on her mobile phone screen.

Cindy immediately picked up: “Mr. Zhekova.”

“At noon today at the company, I had other things to tell you, so I didn’t bother about the issue of addressing each other.” Adrian didn’t mention his purpose and surprisingly spoke of this first.

“Do you think I didn’t notice?”

Over the phone, Cindy could almost see him raising his eyebrows.

She really felt that calling him by his full name was too casual.

And not respectful enough to him.

Now that Adrian mentioned it again, Cindy could only stiffen up and call him:

“Adrian… Zhekova…’

Calling him like that, she felt her tongue burn.

Finally, Adrian was barely satisfied: “Remember, I’m not Mr. Zhekova.”

Cindy hesitated for a moment, and since he had called her, she wanted to ask him about the Facebook issue.

Unexpectedly, Adrian had already taken the initiative to bring it up: “I saw the issue on Facebook. I just instructed Sheldon Rowland to remove the photos, so you don’t need to worry.”

It turned out that it was Adrian who asked Sheldon to do it.

“Did you… hear the voice message my friend sent me at noon?” Cindy thought that Adrian, being so busy, wasn’t someone who could go on Facebook anytime.

Without anyone informing him, Adrian wouldn’t know about it.

The only possibility was the voice message Peggy Lewis sent her at noon. At that time, she was walking and listening, and didn’t have time to switch to the earpiece mode.

“I didn’t mean to overhear it, you were not far from me at that time.” Adrian explained.

“I didn’t mean for you to overhear it either.” Cindy, on the other hand, was even more worried about this situation.

After she finished speaking, Adrian’s laughter, as if hidden in his throat, came through from the other side of the phone.

Despite being through the phone, Cindy could imagine his Adam’s apple trembling slightly and rolling gently in his throat.

“I know.” Adrian’s low voice came through the phone and floated gently into Cindy’s ears.

“How do you know?” Cindy couldn’t help but mutter, “What if it was on purpose for you to hear it and help me solve the problem?”

Adrian raised his eyebrows.

Was this girl really stupid?

He just thought it was quite clever of her to know to wear a hidden camera while dealing with Nelly Woods.

How come she’s acting like a fool now?

“With you being this stupid, you can’t think of something so scheming.” Adrian teased with a low laugh.

Cindy protested: “What’s stupid about me! I’m so smart!”

“You’re not stupid and still speak such words? Aren’t you afraid I’ll really misunderstand?” thought Adrian, isn’t she still stupid now?

Cindy: ‘

It seemed… that was the case.

Then… Adrian Zhekova wouldn’t really misunderstand, would he?

“At that time, you were in a hurry to leave and walked so fast that you couldn’t calculate how far the distance would be for me to overhear.” Adrian explained.

Moreover, there was one thing that Cindy didn’t know..
