Chapter 28 Director of the Market Department

Adrian glanced at them.
He guessed the relationship between them from their conversations.
Shelley was Dalton's ex-girlfriend, and Dalton cheated on Shelley.
Adrian frowned, and he was lost in thought.
Adrian thought, "Since Dalton is her ex-boyfriend, how likely is it that she will find out my identity from Dalton?"
Shelley didn't know what he was thinking. She turned to look at him, smiled, and said, "Thank you for helping me just now."
"It's not a big deal." Adrian couldn't read other messages from Shelley's clean and clear eyes. He just looked at her sharply with dark eyes and said, "Why are you not staying in the hospital? What are you doing here?"
Fantasia Resort was a club.
Most of the people who came here had their purposes.
Shelley looked embarrassed for a moment. She stared at the smooth floor tiles and said, "The director heard that the CEO of Universe Inc. is here. He wanted to seek a chance to meet him."
Shelley lowered her head, revealing her white and slender neck, which was long and graceful, like a swan.
Her earlobes were almost transparent under the light. Shelly's cheeks were pink. The sideburns on her cheeks were a little wet and stuck to her face.
Adrian narrowed his eyes. He reached out to touch Shelley's forehead and said, "Are you still having a fever?"
Shelley froze. Dalton was also surprised.
It was said that Adrian was indifferent to women. Dalton didn't expect that he would take the initiative to get close to Shelley.
Dalton wondered whether Adrian was interested in Shelley.
Dalton thought, "If this is the case, Adrian probably wants to beat me up when he knows the relationship between me and Shelley."
Dalton suddenly felt nervous. He said eagerly, "Do you know each other?"
Dalton dared not to call Adrian directly.
"Yes," Adrian replied impatiently as if he was dissatisfied with why Dalton was still there.
Dalton said, "It turns out that Shelley is your friend. This is really..."
"Do you have anything else to do?" Adrian looked at Dalton.
Dalton was in fear and said, "No… I mean, yes! I have something to do. My friend is still waiting for me.
"Sorry to bother you. I will leave."
Then, Dalton turned and left.
Shelley looked at the back of Dalton, who was almost running away. She frowned, and turned to look at Adrian with a strange expression. "He seems to be very afraid of you?"
"The Grove Group wants to cooperate with Universe Inc. They have been trying to please me." Adrian touched Shelley's forehead again. He felt that the temperature was indeed a little high. But the temperature of his palms had always been high. It was difficult to judge whether Shelley had a high fever.
"You have the right to decide on important things of Universe Inc.?" Shelley looked at him and asked.
Adrian was very tall. Shelley had to raise her head to meet his gaze even though she was wearing high heels.
Shelley felt that it was so tiring.
She thought, "If we kiss, I'm afraid that my neck will break!"
As soon as this thought popped up, Shelley was so scared that she widened her eyes unexpectedly.
She thought, "Am I crazy? Why am I thinking about such kind of strange things?"
Adrian lowered his eyes and looked into her eyes. He was silent and looked at Shelley deeply. Shelley felt stressed.
The expression on Shelley's face gradually turned into embarrassment, as if she was afraid that her thoughts would be seen through.
Adrian thought, "So, she wants to use me to win Forest Inc. a chance?"
Adrian said, "What do you want to say?"
"Nothing." Shelley shook her head. Then, she added, "Dalton is the young master of the Grove family, but he treats you very respectfully. That arrogant person can be so respectful to someone may because the one is more powerful than him, or he wants something from the one."
Adrian didn't seem to expect that Shelley would observe so carefully, and thought of so much. He looked at her meaningfully.
"I'm the director of Universe Inc.'s Marketing Department."
Shelley thought, 'That's right. That's why he has such a strong aura, and everything he wears is high-quality goods. He is unlike an unknown employee.
But, he is just the director of the Marketing Department. How could he be sick because he drank too much for business? Is it so stressful to work at Universe Inc.?'
Shelley was shocked. She couldn't help trembling when she thought of Alfred saying that Universe Inc. was looking for her to cooperate with her.
She thought, "With such a stressful work environment, it is better not to cooperate with it. After all, I am not strong enough."
Adrian's hand was still on Shelley's forehead. So, he could easily feel her slight tremble.
Without thinking too much, Adrian leaned over quickly.
...
Before Shelley could react, she saw a handsome face getting close to her.
Her eyes were wide open. Shelley wondered, "If he kisses me suddenly, should I push him away, or should I stand still and perform my duty as a wife?"
Just when reason prevailed and Shelley subconsciously wanted to reach out to push Adrian. She felt coldness on her forehead.
Adrian's forehead was pressed against hers. Then, Adrian frowned.
"Shelley, you have a fever!" Adrian said with a deep voice.
Shelley was stunned for a moment. Then, she reacted and took a step back. Shelley raised her hand to touch her forehead, but she didn't feel the temperature was high.
"No, I think the temperature is normal."
She thought, "It is true that my face is burning, but that is because..."
Looking up at Adrian with a calm expression, Shelley felt nervous.
She thought, "It's all because of him approaching suddenly, causing me to misunderstand. So..."
Unexpectedly, Adrian grabbed Shelley's arm and dragged her back.
Adrian pressed his forehead against hers again. This time, Adrian even changed two or three angles to feel the temperature of Shelley's forehead.
Then, Adrian became angry and said, "The temperature is so high. Why don't you admit it? I'll take you back to the hospital!"
Then, Adrian turned around and was about to drag her away.
"Hey, wait a minute..." Adrian was so strong that Shelley resisted ineffectively. She was dragged out a few steps. Reflexively, Shelley grabbed the pillar on one side and said, "At least, let me go back and explain it to the director."
Shelley thought, 'It's improper to leave like this.
What's more, my bag is still in the private room.'
Adrian frowned and nodded after a few seconds. He said, "I'll accompany you."
"No." Shelley reflexively refused and said, "Wayne has been crazy these days and wants to get in touch with people from Universe Inc.. He even gave me the business card of Universe Inc.'s secretary to let me contact the secretary. If Wayne recognizes you, I'm afraid that he will ask me to help him meet you."
Shelley thought, 'Then, how will I explain my relationship with Adrian?
Friend?
But, at that time, Trista played tricks against me and screwed things up. I was appointed in the end. I didn't say that I knew someone from Universe Inc. Now, if I say that the director of the Marketing Department of Universe Inc. is my friend, it will be a little...'
