Chapter 308 Don’t Eat Spicy Food
Adele was a little surprised. It seemed that she did not expect that Damon was still paying attention to Professor Wes’ operation. She moved her lips and said, “Then I will contact Director Feng when I have time. I want to see how he will arrange it.”
Damon leaned back and whispered, “Well, if you need any help, just tell me.”
Adele felt warm in her heart and nodded with some emotion.
When she came out of the office, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It had to be said that Damon was still very good to Wes family. He would help whenever he encountered something. Perhaps… it was because Professor Wes was his teacher.
Adele sighed softly and returned to her office.
After a busy day, other than eating and going to the toilet, Adele almost did not rest much. In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work. She looked at the work that was left on hand and could not help but sigh.
Today, Damon said that she would have to work overtime. She, as a secretary, naturally had to accompany him.
Not long after work, the company became much quieter. Adele got up and went to the pantry to make Damon a cup of coffee and asked him what he wanted to eat.
“Mr. Yusuf, it’s getting late. What do you want to eat?”
Damon focused his attention on the computer screen and replied faintly, “Order something light.”
“Okay.”
Adele agreed. She took out her phone and ordered two bowls of porridge in the porridge shop she often ate. There were also two refreshing dishes and a few steamed buns. She ordered them directly.
Soon, the takeout arrived. She went to the elevator to pick up the food and went directly to Damon’s office. “Mr. Yusuf, I ordered porridge and side dishes. I will put this one for you. Remember to eat it while it is hot.”
As she said this, she opened the bag, took out a portion from it, and placed it on the coffee table. Then, she stood up and walked out.
When Damon heard this, he looked up and saw her walk out. There was a flash of emotion in his eyes. He called out to her, “Wait a minute.”
“What’s wrong?” Adele asked.
The man seemed to be a little tired. He raised his hand and pressed the space between his eyebrows. He stood up and walked over. “You stay here and eat with me.”
“This…” “This isn’t too good.” Adele wanted to say something but stopped.
Although she had gotten off work, she and Damon were still in a relationship of boss and subordinate. If someone bumped into them, the impact would not be good.
“What are you afraid of?” Damon raised his eyebrows and smiled.
Yesterday, she was determined in front of Grace, and her temper was extremely hot. How did she become a little white rabbit in front of him?
Adele hesitated and lowered his eyes slightly. “I think it is inappropriate…”
Suddenly, her vision darkened. The next second, she was pulled by Damon towards the coffee table. When she walked to the sofa, she was pressed down and sat down. The man’s low voice came into her ears. “I said it is suitable.”
For a moment, Adele had no way to refute.
Damon sat at the side and wiped her hands with a wet towel. Adele had no choice but to take out the lunch box from the bag.
The two of them ate their own food and did not communicate. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Adele sat at the side and ate two mouthfuls. She felt uncomfortable all over. She really felt a little uncomfortable eating in such an atmosphere.
She stirred the porridge in her hand and glanced at Damon. She saw him holding a pair of chopsticks, picking up a small mouthful of fried meat, and putting it in his mouth unhurriedly.
That was one of Adele’s favorite dishes. The chef of this porridge shop was from Sichuan, so the dishes that were cooked were naturally Sichuan. Every time she and Emily went to eat porridge, they would definitely order this dish and eat it together.
She originally thought that Damon would like it too, but she did not expect him to suddenly frown after eating a mouthful.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Sensing that his expression was not right, Adele’s heart sank, and she hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Is it not to your liking?”
The expression on Damon’s face was a little strange. He shook his head and said, “It’s delicious…”
Although he said this, his ears were red. He frowned, picked up the cup next to him, and took a big sip.
“You can’t eat spicy food?” Adele responded in an instant.
Hearing this, Damon turned to look at her, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face quickly. “Who said that?”
As he spoke, under Adele’s gaze, as if to prove himself, he picked up the chopsticks and picked up a small piece of fried meat and stuffed it into his mouth.
In the beginning, his expression did not change, but slowly, he frowned again and pretended to be calm as he kept drinking water.
Seeing him trying to be brave, Adele could not help but burst out laughing.
You obviously can’t eat spicy food, but you still want to be brave!
Damon turned to look at her, his gaze becoming colder. “What are you laughing at?”
“Nothing… nothing?” Adele hurriedly shook his head.
Damon frowned. Before he could say anything, he saw her bring the little fried meat to her and exchange her sour and spicy shredded potatoes in front of him.
She raised her eyes and raised the corners of her lips at him. “Eat this.”
Damon’s heart tightened. An indescribable complicated feeling surged up in his heart.
This was the first time he had lost so much face in front of her.
“You can eat spicy food?” Damon asked as she glanced at the small fried meat.
Adele turned to look at him. She paused for two seconds and nodded seriously.
Among the friends she knew, her tolerance for spicy food was not bad. Moreover, the spiciness of the small fried meat was just a tongue to her, nothing much.
She didn’t think too much about it. She picked up the chopsticks and picked up a small piece of stir-fried meat. She stuffed the meat together with the little pepper into her mouth.
At first, it was nothing. After Adele swallowed it, she found that the chili this time was different from the previous one. The burning hot feeling slipped through her throat and burned.
Adele was stunned. Before she could react, her face had already turned red. She frowned, “This time… why is it so spicy?”
She gasped a few times. The feeling of spiciness on her tongue became more and more obvious. It seemed that the shop owner had changed the chili. No wonder Damon’s expression was not quite right when she was eating just now.
And just now, in order to prove herself, she had specially picked up a big pair of chopsticks and a few chili peppers. Naturally, it was extremely spicy.
She was sweating from the spiciness and said in a panic, “So spicy… water…”
As she said this, she looked at the table. However, this was Damon’s office. There was no cup for her at all, and there was no water in Damon’s cup.
For a moment, Adele was at a loss as to what to do. She used her hand to fan the wind and gasped. Suddenly, the man next to her reached out and wrapped his arm around her shoulder, directly wrapping her in his arms.
Adele looked up in shock. Before she could see Damon’s expression clearly, her lips suddenly softened and were blocked by someone.
Her mind went blank in an instant. She felt that the man’s lips were slightly cold. His lips and teeth were flexible, quickly brushing past her hot and spicy tongue in exchange for a bit of coolness.
Slowly, the heat and spiciness on the tip of her tongue dissipated, but her body was filled with the heat and passion. It was as if she had been ignited by him, and her entire body was burning up.
