Leaving While Pregnant：He Goes Crazy！
Chapter 556 Didn't Look That Closely

After Tim left the office, he felt a sense of hidden accomplishment because he had done something that greatly pleased Mr. Blackwood. On his way back, he kept thinking about the events that had just unfolded in the office.

For some reason, he couldn't shake off the feeling that the questions his boss had asked him in the office were a bit odd.

Initially, he thought that Eva was trying to divert the conversation, but after leaving the office, something didn't feel quite right.

Even if she intended to distract him, there should have been many other topics to choose from, so why ask that particular question?

The more he thought about it, the stranger it seemed to Tim, and he started to feel uneasy. After pondering for a moment, he went back to his office to grab a document that needed signing and headed back, intending to probe for more information.

Worried, Tim walked unusually fast, and in no time, he found himself back at the office door, where he knocked.

However, there was no response from inside the office.

Tim wasn't in a hurry; he stood there quietly and waited for a while.

After about thirty seconds, seeing that there was still no movement inside, he knocked on the door again and called out, "Ms. Hansen."

A short moment later, there was the sound of a chair falling over from inside.

Just by listening from outside, the commotion seemed significant, and Tim began to worry that there might have been a conflict, especially considering how odd the situation had been just before.

With this in mind, Tim became more anxious. He began knocking on the door forcefully and asked in a worried tone, "Ms. Hansen, are you alright? Ms. Hansen, what happened?"

However, all was quiet inside, with no response.

"Ms. Hansen?"

Tim was too concerned, and after a moment of hesitation, he reached out and tried the doorknob.

Click-

The knob turned slightly but then wouldn't budge.

He stood there, stunned, staring at the doorknob in front of him.

Was the door... locked from the inside??

Just then, a hoarse bass voice came from inside, "What's the matter?"

Tim quickly recognized it as Mr. Blackwood's voice. He felt like he was onto something, but at that moment, his brain seemed to short-circuit, and he was unable to make any connection. Lucky for him, his mouth was faster than his brain, and after hearing Adrian's question, he blurted out without thinking, "I have a document here for Ms. Hansen to sign." There was silence again inside.

"Wait there."

After dropping that line, the inside fell quiet once more.

Tim stood at the door, still feeling that something was very strange.

What on earth was going on?

Suddenly, in a flash of realization, Tim, who was standing at the door, remembered something and his eyes widened in shock.

After he had left earlier, the office door had been locked from the inside... Wasn't the purpose of that to prevent anyone from entering?

And there had been the sound of a chair falling over, and even Mr. Blackwood's voice sounded hoarse when he spoke.

Tim finally realized that he had inadvertently interrupted something private.

It was over for him.

Where had his sharp wit gone from when he was in upper management?

Why had his brain suddenly hit a snag?

At this moment, Tim truly wished he could pry open his skull to see what on earth was going on inside.

However, things being as they were, he didn't dare to leave and could only stand there stiff as a board.

He didn't know how long he stood there. He was still for so long that Tim felt like he was turning into stone. Suddenly, there were footsteps from inside. Following that, the door was opened from within.

When the door opened, Tim instinctively flashed his trademark smile.

Unfortunately, it was to no avail. The person opening the door was not Eva, but a very grim-faced Adrian.

"Where's the document?"

Tim noticed his sour expression and the disarray of his collar. Two buttons of his shirt were also undone, and his tie? It was nowhere to be seen. Seeing this, Tim immediately confirmed that he had indeed interrupted something.

"Here..."

Tim could only numbly hand over the document he was holding.

Actually, it wouldn't have mattered if Eva hadn't signed this particular document; it was just an excuse he had grabbed from the pile.

After Adrian took the document, he said "Wait here," and then he promptly shut the office door.

Click.

Tim stood outside the door, almost as if he had been brushed off.

But there was no helping it. As a man, he understood all too well the frustration of being interrupted in the midst of... that sort of activity. If he were the one interrupted, he would probably feel murderous.

So even if Adrian's attitude towards him was less than friendly, he could only ruefully touch his nose and wait right there. Inside the office.

Adrian handed the document Tim had given him to Eva.

"It needs your signature."

Eva was hurriedly adjusting her clothes; her face flushed to her neck and ears, almost her entire visible self had turned red.

She quickly fastened the buttons of her collar, took the document from Adrian's hand, and picked up a pen.

"Where do I sign?"

Seeing her flustered, with her hair in disarray, and remembering how she had suddenly pushed him away when things were getting intimate and how they were interrupted by the knocking at the door, Adrian couldn't help but feel frustrated. Damn Tim.

He could have come at any other time, but he had to choose that moment to ruin things.

These days, because of his injury, Eva had been reluctant to get too close, fearing it might affect his healing.

So, the opportunity he had finally found, to arouse her to the point where she forgot about his wounds, was ruined by Tim's untimely intrusion.

He stood next to Eva, his gaze dropping as she opened the document, eventually settling on the nape of her neck.

There, a red mark from his kiss stood out against her skin like a vivid little patch on flawless porcelain.

After seeing this red mark, Adrian's irritated expression softened and a hint of satisfaction appeared in his dark eyes.

It was a mark he had left on her, a proof of their intimacy just moments ago.

Eva quickly reviewed the document and hastily signed her name before handing it back to Adrian.

"Done; you can take it out now."

However, Adrian didn't rush to take the document. Instead, he held it in his hands and started to read through it seriously.

Seeing this, Eva couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

"Don't you look at the documents you sign your name to?"

Adrian's voice was still a bit hoarse, but he was noticeably calmer than before.

He stood in front of Eva, brows slightly furrowed as he flipped through the document quickly. Eva watched him do this, quietly defending herself. "I did look at it, just not that closely."
