The morning passed by as Mrs. Winters rambled on.
While Adina listened to Mrs. Winters‘ rambling, the scenes from last night played out in her mind.
For some reason, the odd feeling in her heart intensified.
She pursed her lips before she smiled and said, “Mom, did Duke go to the office? I‘d like to pay him a
visit and have lunch with him.”
“Aww! The two of you are still sweet newlyweds,” Mrs. Winters teased. “I was thinking of asking you to
have lunch with me.”
Adina appeared apologetic as she said, “I have something very important to discuss with him. I‘ll have
dinner with you tonight.”
“Go ahead. Have a safe journey.”
Mrs. Winters stood at the door while she watched Adina drive away. Worry slowly filled her eyes.
Adina had a smooth journey and soon stopped in front of Winters Corporation.
Duke and Adina had just gotten married yesterday, so everyone in the city knew that Ms. Daugherty was
now the lady boss of Winters Corporation.
As soon as she stepped into the lobby, the receptionist escorted her to the elevator respectfully. “This
elevator will bring you to the CEO‘s office directly. Mdm. Winters, this way please.”
After Adina thanked her, she entered the elevator.
It was not Adina‘s first visit to the CEO‘s office in Winters Corporation, but she felt more occupied than
she ever did in the past.
She walked out of the elevator, stood in the corridor, and slowly made her way toward the CEO‘s office.
The office door was not shut, so she could see the situation inside clearly.
A few executives were giving a report on their work.
“Mr. Winters, this is the profit statement for the last quarter. Please take a look.”
“Mr. Winters, this project will start only after you approve it. Please sign here.”
“Mr. Winters, there‘s a problem with the project in Europe. We need to send an executive there for
planning and consolidation. May I know if you have any candidates in mind?”
One task after another piled up on the desk. They had accumulated because of the wedding.
Adina stood at the door before she silently took a few steps back and entered the meeting room.
She lowered her head and gently took a sip of the coffee while various complicated thoughts flashed
across her mind.
Her heart would flutter for Duke at certain times, but last night, the bizarre feeling and resistance that
came from her heart confused her.
She would only marry someone for love, and she would leave a person without hesitation if she did not
love him.
Adina visited him today because she just wanted to know where the odd feeling was coming from.
She waited for half an hour before Duke pushed the meeting room door open and walked inside.
He loosened his tie and casually sat on the couch. Then, he crossed his long legs and rested them on
the tea table.
He curled his lips and flashed her a playful smile. “Why are you here?”
Adina looked at him.
In her heart, Duke was always elegant and noble no matter what he did.
However, he looked like a gang member now. Whether it was the way he sat or the tone of his voice, he
had lost the nobility of a gentleman.
But...
Adina chuckled.
The same elegant and decent man was also a shameless person in bed.
He would unabashedly call her “Dear.”
He would act cute and ask her to kiss him.
He had many sides. It was a shame that she only saw this side of him today. “Are you very busy?” Adina
slowly asked.
