Chapter 327: Will President Lancaster Attend the High School Reunion?
Evening.
In the steamy bathroom, Adrian Lancaster, while showering, couldn’t help but think of her again as he saw his fully healed, smooth arm.
From repelling her at first, to being willing to try treatment, to showing his wounds in front of her.
Lowering all defenses against her.
Now Adrian Lancaster feels a distinct and growing sensation that this girl is gradually melting the ice around his heart.
Making him feel so warm.
Perhaps it’s due to the loneliness over time, or maybe she really reminds him so much of Sienna.
Overall, Adrian Lancaster’s journey from initial rejection of Faye Turner to acceptance, to being willing to have children with her... He feels his life is fulfilled.
Nighttime, on the spacious and soft double bed.
Faye Turner rests her head on his arm, turns on her side, and reaches to hug his waist.
She finally musters up the courage to softly ask, "Adrian, do you perhaps... like me even a tiny bit?"
Ah, women, always want an answer for everything.
Even though sometimes the actions are already so clear, with gifts given and sleeping together, nothing feels as reassuring as hearing "I love you."
Adrian Lancaster faintly smiles and gently turns to look at her closely, making her feel a certain warmth.
Perhaps his feelings for her are so strong and apparent, so uncontrollable. Adrian Lancaster once again answers with action by kissing her lips...
Hot breaths are so close, Faye Turner felt her breathing slow down, as he elegantly moves his hands over her like a leopard.
The next morning.
Prestige Group, President’s office.
After Adrian Lancaster entered, the first person he saw wasn’t Dustin Shepherd.
But rather Evan Sharp.
Today, Evan Sharp was dressed in a silver-white tailored suit, looking sharp, lacking the easy-going demeanor of the previous day, presenting a complete elite appearance.
Adrian Lancaster entered from the doorway, Evan Sharp turned his gaze, "Adrian."
"You’re so early?"
Actually, Adrian Lancaster was only a few months older than Evan Sharp, they were born in the same year and grew up together, so he didn’t call him ’brother.’
"Just because I missed you." Evan Sharp’s face adorned with a smile seemed to boost his charm, "Are you busy lately?"
"Yes." Adrian Lancaster greeted him, "Sit down, I just have something to ask of you."
"Go ahead."
As he made tea for Evan Sharp, he explained the situation on Rachel Sherman’s side. Evan Sharp didn’t interrupt, listened very attentively, occasionally frowning, and occasionally nodding.
"Divorce case, huh, this should be easy." Finally, Evan Sharp spoke with a relaxed tone, thinking it’s no big deal, "When will you provide all the information?"
"Alright, I’ll do it as soon as possible."
Evan Sharp took the teacup handed to him, "I also have something to talk to you about on my side."
"What is it?"
"Tonight’s high school reunion." Evan Sharp sat down by the window sofa chair, "I’m tasked by everyone to invite you, the big shot, to gather with us."
Thinking of high school, Adrian Lancaster couldn’t help but recall Sienna Dawson, his expression slightly darkened, "Who will be there?" He sat down in the office chair and casually opened a document.
"There’s a group chat, do you want to check it out?" As Evan Sharp spoke, he pulled out his phone, "There’s Liam Irving, Hugo Hayes, Lucas Lowell..." He read out a list of names.
Just no Sienna Dawson.
"Okay." Adrian Lancaster agreed, "What time?"
Evan Sharp looked pleased, "Seems like I managed to settle this? Everyone misses you to death, each and every one is proud of you, all want to meet you."
"Suggest a time, I’ll go for half an hour." Adrian Lancaster asked, "Can I bring someone?"
Evan Sharp seemed quite happy, "You want to bring your girlfriend?"
"Why?" Adrian Lancaster lifted his gaze, "Can’t I? If not, then I won’t go."
"No no no, of course you can!" Evan Sharp showed a good mood on his face, "I just... feel like you’re different than you were before."
