Chapter 49: Adam is in the bathroom
Olivia gave up all her dignity to seduce Adam, but Adam not only didn’t react, he didn’t even look at her and locked her out. She was standing outside the bathroom door in disheveled clothes. Humiliating tears fell from her eyes and she tearfully asked the man, -Why do you prefer to touch an unknown woman like Estrella, but refuse to touch me? Adam, am I really not as good as Star?
The only response for her was the sound of the water jets.
Because she was his sister-in-law?
No, I definitely could not allow Estrella to take Adam …
…
The villa of the Berrocal family.
After Estrella left the Rouco family in anger, he returned to the Berrocal family villa and cleaned all night. It was logical that he was exhausted. But at this moment, he was lying in bed with no sleep at all, tossing and turning. He was so sober and even stranger, at this moment, what he was thinking about was where Adam would go by car.
Isn’t it… I went looking for fun, right?
He was surprised when this thought popped into his brain.
What did it have to do with her if Adam went looking for another woman?
But his hand disobediently turned on the phone, it was almost eleven o’clock.
She clicked on the phone and Adam’s cell phone number stopped. She hesitated to call him or not, but he didn’t do anything wrong, why did she call him – to ask him to scold her?
But … I missed Paulita.
Thinking about this, he confidently made a call.
She called him, just to ask if Paulita was asleep!
The phone rang for a long time and she still didn’t think the words through. A lovely, soft female voice answered, “Star? Are you calling Adam for something?
Of course I could recognize that voice.
Olivia… Why did you answer Adam’s phone?
Sister-in-law, I… am looking for Adam.
-Adam is taking a shower. When he comes out, I’ll tell him to call you back.
Estrella pressed the cell phone and was surprised. On the other end of the phone there seemed to be a sound of water. -No, I’m fine.
When the words were finished, he hung up the phone with a desperate face.
After hanging up the phone, he sat on the bed and could not calm down for a long time.
He touched his chest. It wasn’t the first day she had learned of Adam’s adultery with Olivia. They even had a daughter. Was there still something intimate he hadn’t done?
After this call, Estrella found that she could not sleep anymore.
In her mind, the image of the scene of Adam embracing Olivia and doing the intimate acts appeared over and over again. She sighed, felt sour and bloated, and a little spicy. It must have been that the continual late night made her angry.
He covered his head with the blanket and slept!
…
Here, Olivia directly erased the call log, then looked into the bathroom and put the phone back in its original place. She said to the man in the bathroom, -Adam, tomorrow afternoon is Dante’s parent-child activity class. Don’t forget, come with me. Otherwise… Dante will be sad.
Adam did not respond, Olivia knew he had heard him, took the palm and left the room.
After taking a shower, Adam walked to the phone while wiping his short wet hair with a towel.
He had the habit of cleanliness, this habit not only showed in the clean, but also was sensitive to the position of what he put. He could notice it more clearly than ordinary people.
His dark eyes stared at the phone for a few seconds, he frowned and picked up the phone. He opened the communication log and the message, Estrella did not contact him.
He clutched the towel in his hand, his eyes drooping slightly.
What was wrong with her? The woman couldn’t have known the situation well and returned to the Berrocal family. Why did he expect that woman to contact him?
She was just a daughter-in-law to deal with the old man. Not only was her mood so bad, but also her relationship with her nephew was unclear. If she was not Paulita’s biological mother, she would die when she dared to slap him.
…
Estrella suffered from insomnia last night, woke up late the next morning and rushed to the company. As she got off the subway and ran to the company, she thought about buying a car to get around these days.
Lived in the Rouco family a few days ago, Adam even did not take her on the road. It was better that he relied on himself. For that, he preferred to buy a car.
Before 9:30, he ran to the company to clock in. Olivia also entered the department, and overheard some colleagues were discussing …
-Good morning, Director Olivia.
-Director Olivia, you look so good today, it’s so different from usual.
Olivia looked at Estrella’s dark circles under her eyes, smiled with ulterior motives-Yes, I slept very well last night. Huh? Star, why do you look bad, don’t you feel well?Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Estrella murmured in her heart, but smiled politely, -No, I slept well last night, thank you for your concern.
Since the last time Olivia set traps against her with Dante, she had no affection for her.
However, looking at Olivia’s well condition, should she spend a good night with Adam?
His heart felt discontent and there was some anger.
I must have not slept well last night.
He cursed Adam many times in his heart. He didn’t even get ready to work. Olivia came out of the office and smiled-Starla, Mr. Adam asked you to come to his office.
Star was surprised, why was Adam looking for her?
But looking at Olivia’s expression was probably not a good thing.
…
When she reached the door to the president’s office, Estrella knocked on the door. She did not push the door until a cold, low male voice said, “Come in.”
As soon as he walked through the door, he approached, and the man sitting in the black chair threw a folder at him!
-Ah…! Adam…! What are you doing?!
The hard corners of the plastic folder hit her arm and left a bloodstain that was not very deep or shallow. Her skin was white and tender. The bloodstain immediately became red and swollen, and looked particularly obvious.
-Look how much the company lost on the contract you translated!
Estrella was surprised and quickly bent down to pick up the contract that had fallen to the floor. She discovered that the page with the number written on it had changed from $50 million to $5 million which lacked a zero….
But he clearly remembered that he had compared these numbers several times and it was $50 million. How could he suddenly lose a zero?
-What else do you want to explain?
The man’s voice was cold and very oppressive. Estrella frowned and said, “I remember translating $50 million. I finished the translation last night and handed it directly to Director Olivia. I don’t know if Director Olivia…
Before she could finish her words, Adam interrupted her with a colder voice, “You made a mistake and you even want to tell others about it?
-No… but, to avoid mistranslating that number at the time, I checked it several times. I’m sure you didn’t…
-Enough!
Estrella’s eyes twitched. How could she be so stupid? No matter how she explained herself, Adam would believe Olivia. He and Olivia were still in bed last night, how could they blame Olivia for her?
