Leaving While Pregnant:He Goes Crazy! -
Chapter 299 There's nothing between me and her
"What are you doing?" Eva was pulled so abruptly that she dropped the report from her hand.
But Adrian seemed to be triggered by something and paid no attention. He continued to pull her forward.
"Wait." The boy with glasses finally reacted and quickly rushed forward to stand in front of them. "What are you trying to do to her? Let go of her!"
Adrian looked at the young man standing in front of him like a little chick. It was a coincidence that the gold-rimmed glasses he was wearing reminded him of someone who also frequently wore such glasses. Combined with the fact that he had just seen this man gazing at Eva with affection as soon as he got out of the elevator, both of these points annoyed Adrian.
He sneered and mocked, "You think you're worthy of stopping me?"
His overwhelming presence immediately overwhelmed the boy with glasses.
Eva was still struggling. "Adrian, let go. What are you planning to do?"
Seeing the situation, the boy with glasses tried to step forward. "Let her go."
"Get lost!" Adrian shouted impatiently, "Don't make me get violent."
With that, he pulled Eva away.
It took a while for the boy with glasses to react, wanting to chase after them, but he hesitated and finally decided to let them go.
Adrian rushed towards Tim's office, his terrifying appearance making quite an impression. Tim was in the midst of a phone call with a client when the young man burst in, causing him to quiet down. Tim had to apologize to the client and hung up the call before asking what was going on.
"Why the rush? Why the commotion in the company?" he inquired.
"A man came in just now and took the boss away," the young man anxiously explained.
Upon hearing about Eva, Tim's expression instantly tensed. "What man? Took the boss away? Kidnapped her?"
"Kidnapped?" the bespectacled young man pondered, recalling the situation seriously. "It doesn't seem like a kidnapping, but there was definitely an argument. And the man... he looked like Mr. Blackwood."
When he said this, the young man began to doubt if he had seen correctly. How could he have seen Adrian involved with their boss? And grabbing her wrist at that?
Tim was initially worried but felt relieved upon hearing that it was Adrian. "You should have said so earlier. Why worry then? They know each other, so don't concern yourself. Just go back to work."
"But..." The bespectacled young man didn't relax his vigilance and scratched his head. "Mr. Blackwood didn't seem right. Shouldn't we do something? What if something happens to our boss?"
Tim had already allowed him to leave, but he didn't expect him to linger and ask questions. Tim looked at him speechlessly. "Have you ever been in love? Why are you so oblivious? He likes our boss, so of course something seems off." "Likes?" The bespectacled young man froze, not expecting to receive that answer.
Mr. Blackwood likes Ms. Hansen? Then... doesn't that mean...
"Stop thinking about it. Even without Mr. Blackwood, you don't stand a chance. Those who pursue our boss are lined up, not just anyone can have a chance," Tim said bluntly. Although he already knew this would be the outcome, witnessing and hearing it firsthand still disheartened the young man. "I, I understand. I never thought about it anyway." "It's fine to think, who doesn't like a beautiful and intelligent woman? Now go back and work hard," Tim patted his shoulder.
The dejected young man left, dragging his heavy steps behind him.
Tim shook his head and returned to his own work.
Adrian led Eva to a secluded corner before finally stopping. Initially, Eva struggled, but then she realized that his grip, like iron chains, tightly held her. Any resistance was futile. So in the end, Eva didn't waste her energy and allowed him to lead her without any resistance.
Perhaps because she remained quiet, Adrian's emotions gradually became influenced by her. They hadn't walked for long before he stopped and turned his head to look at her.
The two of them silently locked eyes for a moment, until Eva's gaze eventually fell on his hand holding onto her wrist.
"Now, can you let go?" she asked.
Her voice was calm, clear, and devoid of any warmth. This demeanor made Adrian furrow his brows. Instead of releasing her, he tightened his grip on her wrist and took a couple of steps forward, closing the distance between them. "I have something to tell you," Adrian said, getting closer, his cool breath swirling around her.
It smelled exactly like she remembered.
Almost instinctively, Eva turned her face away, not meeting his gaze. "Fine, go ahead and say what you want."
Her nonchalant and indifferent attitude only made Adrian feel more frustrated, but there were things he needed to make clear. "When you silenced my phone just now, did you see the caller ID?"
At his words, Eva hesitated, clearly not expecting him to ask this question.
She scoffed, "I just silenced it, I'm not interested in your personal privacy."
"Is that so?" Adrian stared at her, his gaze unwavering. "You didn't see it?"
"No," Eva nodded. "I didn't see it. Can you let go of me now?"
The next second, Adrian pushed her against the cold wall, his hand gripping her wrist and his teeth clenching. "You didn't see it? You didn't see how you've been treating me lately, Eva? Do you think I'm a fool?" What started as a mere confrontation now became intense. Eva's wrist was held up high by Adrian, and his entire body leaned against hers.
The distance between them instantly became intimate.
If it wasn't for the thick fabric of their winter clothing, they might have felt each other's skin temperature...
Nevertheless, the difference between a man's body and a woman's body was still discernible. Even in this tight proximity, Eva could distinctly feel the contours of his masculine physique...
"Even if you don't believe me, I have to tell you that there's nothing between me and her." Due to the closeness, Adrian's heated breath brushed against Eva's face as he spoke.
Eva couldn't hold her breath, and this proximity made her feel as if their breaths were intertwining.
She struggled, but Adrian's grip on her hand remained tight.
Eva could only breathe lightly and say, "Why are you telling me all this? I don't care about whatever may or may not exist between you and her. Let go."
"I won't let go." Adrian stubbornly stared at her. "If you don't care, then why did your mood suddenly change?"
"Who says my mood changed? I've always been like this," Eva retorted.
"It's different now," Adrian said.
Eva chuckled, "How is it different?"
Adrian pursed his lips and looked at her with a complex expression. "Even though you've always had a bad attitude towards me, it became worse after you found out. That's the difference. Do you think I can't see that?"
