"I'll take you there."
Jefferson replied.
Adrienne refused, "It's not very far away. You should attend to your own matters instead. I don't want them to get delayed because of me."
Jefferson raised his voice slightly. "Adrienne, how can I let you go over by yourself when Zelson is working there too."
Adrienne was speechless.
In that case, she couldn't reject him, could she?
If she dared to say no, Jefferson would never let her hear the end of it.
As a result, Jefferson sent her to the headquarters. When she was getting out of the car, he grabbed her hand and reminded her, "Little Specky, be extra careful with Zelson. Don't let him take advantage of you."
"Mr. Zelson isn't that kind of person," Adrienne argued.
Jefferson glared at her, and Adrienne immediately shut up.
Jefferson was still worried. "You know what? I'll go in with you instead."
"Don't you have something else to attend to? Besides, not everyone can go in and out of our workplace as they like," Adrienne commented.
Just as Jefferson was about to tell her that he was not occupied with work, he received a notification on his phone. He took the phone out of his pocket and saw that it was Sierra.
Adrienne added, "If you have something to do, you can leave first. I'll be fine by myself. This is the headquarters, not some lion's den. What are you worried about?"
"Zelson is even more worrying than a lion," Jefferson grunted.
Adrienne sighed internally.
"Aren't you going to ask who messaged me?" Jefferson asked again.
"If you want to tell me, just say it. Why do you have to make me ask?" Adrienne was starting to feel annoyed.
Jefferson was upset by Adrienne's indifferent attitude so he said, "Little Specky, aren't you curious who it is? Aren't you afraid that some other woman is texting me to ask me out?"
Adrienne was really not worried. In fact, there were even times when she hoped that the two of them could have more personal space so that he would stop bothering her all the time. She answered, "Jefferson, what are you trying to get at? You refused to tell me about it when asked last night, but now that I'm leaving you be, you actually complain that I don't care enough about you. What on earth do you want?"
"Fine, you should go. Call me when you're done. I'll come over to pick you up," Jefferson responded. He admitted that he was being a little unreasonable.
Adrienne nodded, turned around, and walked into the office building.
As soon as she entered, she saw Zelson standing only a few steps away from her. It seemed that he had been waiting for her for a long time.
His complexion looked terrible as if he hadn't slept for the entire night.
Adrienne was a little worried as she greeted, "Mr. Zelson..."
"Adrienne, come with me to my office." Zelson turned around and staggered toward her.
Adrienne immediately rushed up and wanted to help him up, but in the end, she did not do so. She did not want Jefferson to misunderstand, so she asked instead, "Mr. Zelson, are you okay?"
Zelson shook his head and tried to keep his balance. "Did Jefferson drop you off just now?"
Adrienne nodded, "Yes."
