“Ms. Adina, why don‘t you go get more sleep?”
Mr. Brown had just woken up and saw Adina walking down the stairs.
“I‘m not going to the company today, and I wanted to make the kids breakfast, so I woke up a little
early.” Adina smiled. “What would you like to eat, Mr. Brown? I‘ll prepare it together.”
“It‘s okay, I can make it myself,” Mr. Brown said, surprise evident in his voice. “Let me give you a hand
in the kitchen.”
Adina turned down Mr. Brown‘s help, put on an apron, and went into the kitchen.
After she got married into the Winters family, she would at the very least prepare a meal once a day.
The kids enjoyed her food very much, be it dinner or breakfast.
But it seemed that Duke had not had any of her cooking in a while.
She started by cooking eggs, and boiling some noodles for the kids, then started making Duke‘s
breakfast.
She cut an egg into a heart shape and sandwiched it in between two pieces of bread along with some
cheese slices.
“I‘m going out for a while, Mr. Brown.”
After packing the breakfast in an insulated lunch box, Adina left the mansion in her car.
Mr. Brown sighed in relief. Master Duke had not been home for some time, but Ms. Adina seemed
indifferent and aloof about it. The two‘s relationship was getting worse day by day.
Now that Ms. Adina was willing to make amends, she had taken a very important step forward.
He had faith that in no time the Winters family would return to its usual joyful atmosphere, filled with
laughter.
Adina drove to the Winters Corporation‘s building.
Coincidentally, it was peak office hour at the time, and her appearance in the building‘s atrium attracted
a huge crowd.
It was her first public appearance following her marriage.
“Wow, look at that! She‘s the wife of Winters Corporation‘s CEO!”
“There were media spreading rumors of Mr. Winters and Adina‘s marriage before, but she’s here at the
company now, I bet their relationship is still going strong.”
“It seems like she‘s delivering Mr. Winters‘ breakfast. Look at them being lovey–dovey. It‘s so cute.”
“Wow, seeing lovey–dovey couples right in the morning makes me feel extra single now!”
“……”
In the midst of the crowd‘s commotion , Adina walked calmly toward the elevator reserved for the CEO.
The lift reached the top floor in less than a minute‘s time.
She got off the lift with her lunchbox and headed straight to the CEO‘s office. The door to the office was
not closed, but there was no one inside either.
‘Is that man not at the company?‘
While she was sulking, Miss Clark approached her and said,” Mrs. Winters, are you here to see Mr.
Winters?”
Adina nodded in reply. “Where is he?”
“Mr. Winters is having a meeting right now. Why don‘t you sit in the reception room and wait for a little
while, Mrs. Winters?” Miss Clark said with respect.
Adina glanced at the time and calmly said, “I‘ll just wait at the CEO‘s office.”
She stepped inside the room and sat on the CEO‘s chair right away.
Miss Clark opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out, so she left to pour a cup of coffee for
Adina.
The other employees in the secretary department hurriedly rushed to her and started gossiping in low
voices.
“Hey, why do you guys think Mrs. Winters is here at the company?”
“What else for? She‘s definitely here to check up on the CEO!”
“Mrs. Winters must‘ve seen the lipstick stain on Mr. Winters‘s collar last time. Otherwise, why would
she visit the company to check up on him?”
“I really don‘t know what Mr. Winters is thinking, to be honest. He has such a wonderful wife, but he‘s
actually cheating on her with a foreign chick.”
“Stop talking nonsense.” Miss Clark prepared the coffee and quietly said, “Keep your mouths shut, and
don‘t say these kinds of things in front of Mrs. Winters!”
