Chapter 12 What Are You Doing?
Adele’s head buzzed.
Did she see Damon’s secret?
Adele suddenly felt guilty. Although she did not do it on purpose, it was immoral to pry into other people’s privacy.
It was indeed immoral.
There was no time to think about it. Adele wanted to restore the photo and the card, but because she was so nervous that her hands trembled, she did not succeed in a short while.
“What are you doing?”
A cold voice suddenly sounded from behind.
Adele’s body shook instinctively, and the photo frame in her hand fell again. But this time, it did not fall but was caught by Damon.
Adele turned around and met Damon’s cold gaze.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t do it on purpose.” She was so nervous that her throat tightened.
She didn’t enter his study on purpose, much less peek at his secret on purpose.
She didn’t know if Damon would believe her.
“Get out.” Although he lowered his voice, it was not difficult to hear the anger in his tone.
Adele’s heart skipped a beat. She had made him angry again.
Without hesitating too much, Adele bent down to pick up the box on the ground and sensibly walked out. When she turned around and closed the door of the study, she saw Damon’s eyes fix on the photo.
It seemed to be something very important to Damon.
After Adele closed the door with self-blame and discomfort, she carried the things down to the second floor. At this time, Ben had already set up the food he brought.
Seeing Adele holding the box, he asked, “Madam, what are you doing?”
“I want to find a storage room,” Adele said honestly.
“The storage room is in the small attic.” Ben replied.

Adele was a little confused. She did not seem to see the small attic.
“Madam, leave it to me.” Ben took the cardboard box from Adele and said, “Madam, let’s eat. These are…”
“Assistant Johnson, I seem to have done something wrong. I made him angry.” Adele interrupted Ben.
Hearing Adele’s words, Ben immediately felt speechless.
To be honest, he had been by Damon’s side for many years, and he rarely saw Damon reveal his emotions.
There were simply very few people who could make him angry. What kind of magic did she have?
“Madam, what did you do?”
“I entered his study and accidentally touched his…”
“It’s all my fault. I didn’t tell you clearly. The president’s study is a restricted area. No one can enter.”
Restricted area?
This time, Adele understood that the study was Damon’s absolute private space. If she were in his shoes, she would be angry as well.
Thinking of this, Adele felt even more guilty and depressed. It was all her fault for being reckless.
The food tonight was sent from the Yusuf family’s grand house, all of which were Adele’s favorites.
However, Adele did not notice these dishes at all. She ate a few mouthfuls of food with a heavy heart, and Damon never came out of the study.
At night, after washing up, Adele lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
First, she missed her bed.
Second, she was upset that she had foolishly entered Damon’s study, making Damon unhappy.
As she thought about it, the name Clara suddenly came out.
And it kept lingering in Adele’s mind.
Clara…
She must have a good relationship with Damon. Moreover, Damon seemed to cherish that photo.
So, Clara was the person Damon liked?
Thinking of this, Adele inexplicably felt a little uncomfortable.
Since that was the case, why did Damon marry her?
Adele suddenly felt a burst of frustration. She pulled the quilt over her head and forced herself not to think about it.
