Entangled in Midnight: Mrs Grant wants a Divorce-Chapter 76: You Like Him That Much

Eleanor pretended not to notice the untimeliness of his remark and issued an expulsion order: "You should leave now, President Grant."

One phrase, ’President Grant,’ widened the distance between the two, clearly defining their identities. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

"If I leave, will Julian Jacobs come back?" Adrian Grant used his height advantage, looking down at Eleanor.

"Adrian Grant, what are you thinking!"

Eleanor clenched her fists, this man was truly infuriating!

Adrian got the answer he wanted and felt relieved inside.

"Eleanor, the Jacobs Family is not as good as you think, don’t be deceived by Julian Jacobs’ appearance," Adrian said.

He knew that Eleanor had always liked men as unblemished and radiant as his brother Jonah Grant.

Julian Jacobs was her type.

Eleanor’s face turned cold: "Adrian Grant, do you know him enough to judge this way?"

Adrian laughed out of anger.

The façade of kindness vanished completely, revealing a cold and sharp true self.

He stepped closer to Eleanor, ignoring the narrowing distance between them, making Eleanor retreat until she could retreat no more, her back firmly against the wall.

"Ha! You defend him like this? Do you really like him? Hm?"

"Adrian Grant!" Eleanor pressed both hands against his chest, "Please leave my room or I’ll call the police!"

Adrian ignored this, leaning down.

The man’s breath got closer, the overwhelming sense of invasion came rushing forth.

Just when Eleanor thought he was going to force a kiss, his lips stopped at the edge of her mouth.

Gritting his teeth, the man said, "Zia Winslow, I regret not forcing a kiss on you in front of him earlier!"

...

The room door closed from the outside by the man.

After Adrian left, the spacious suite only had Eleanor’s breathing left.

She exhaled deeply, sliding down to sit on the ground as if relieved from captivity.

——I regret not forcing a kiss on you in front of him earlier!

Eleanor knew Adrian’s words weren’t a threat but truly a thought he had—right when she appeared wearing his bathrobe!

If Adrian had really done it, Eleanor couldn’t imagine what she would have done.

Such behavior was indeed too egregious!

Soaking in the hot springs naturally aids sleep, coupled with the emotional upheavals, Eleanor was physically and mentally exhausted, too tired to think, she simply buried herself in the bed and fell asleep.

Once asleep, she wouldn’t think of that damned Adrian Grant!

The next day.

Eleanor was woken up by the ringing of her phone.

She answered it casually: "Hello."

The receiver was quiet.

Eleanor was still sleepy, not saying anything, almost dozing off again in the silence.

The other side cautiously spoke: "Hello? President Grant? Is this Adrian Grant’s phone?"

It seemed the person was double-checking the phone number.

Eleanor’s mind froze for two seconds, then quickly sobered up.

She looked at the phone, the latest model of the white fruit brand phone she indeed used.

But looking at the caller ID: Legal Department.

Legal Department?

When she was in the Mayfield Tech project group, she did save some contacts from Grant Group’s Legal Department, all in the format ’Legal Dept-xx.’

This wasn’t her phone!

This was Adrian Grant’s phone!

Eleanor remembered that when Adrian left yesterday, she threw his phone to him, probably mixed it up with her own...

Eleanor sat up straight in place, throat tightening, wanting to say something but unsure how to explain.

"Well, pardon me, is President Grant by your side? The meeting is about to start; we’re waiting only for him. Could you possibly check if President Grant is attending today?" The caller’s attitude and wording were extremely respectful.

Eleanor recognized the voice as the Legal Director of Grant Group.

From the content, it seemed they thought she was some woman Adrian Grant found.

Eleanor’s previously anxious heart suddenly calmed down, turning cold.

It seems Adrian Grant is indeed not clean; sneaking around outside is a known fact, and his subordinates are used to it!

"One moment, please."

Eleanor got up from bed, donned a jacket intending to knock on the next door but saw the adjacent room’s door open, housekeeping cleaning inside.

"Are you looking for someone?" the cleaner said, "The guest in this room has already checked out and left."

Eleanor closed her eyes briefly, wanting to curse.

But she still had to calmly say to the Legal Director on the phone: "Sorry, I found this phone and don’t know its owner. You might try other means to contact him, like through his family, subordinates, or assistant."

Eleanor hung up the phone, wanting to call her own phone, realizing it was locked only for receiving calls, not dialing out!

Eleanor breathed deeply in frustration, turned around and went back to the room to call her phone using the room’s phone.

"Beep——"

The call was picked up shortly.

Adrian’s low, pleasant voice came through the receiver: "Hello."

"Adrian Grant, my phone!" Eleanor sighed, "Where are you now? We swapped phones; just now, someone from your Legal Department called you."

Since she was the one who misplaced the phone, the responsibility was hers, she couldn’t afford to lose her temper!

Adrian was sitting at the top seat of the meeting table, the Legal Director on his right, second seat.

Last night he received an urgent email, hurried back for a meeting, and was a few minutes late. When entering the meeting room, the Legal Director had just hung up the phone, with a blank ’who am I, where am I’ expression, and became more speechless upon seeing him.

That must have been when he called his phone, answered by Eleanor.

Adrian’s mood was subtly pleasant; he leaned back on the chair: "At the company, in a meeting. If you’re in a hurry, come to the company to find me."

"I!" Eleanor was so infuriated, she almost couldn’t catch her breath, "I’m with my classmate, didn’t drive, how can I come?"

"Should I have Charles Rhodes pick you up?"

"...No need, I’ll figure it out myself!"

Having Charles pick her up, with so many eyes watching, what was there to pick up!

People in the meeting room saw the president hung up with a silent smile on his lips.

They were shocked, looking at one another.

The boss was delighted, even offering to have Special Assistant Rhodes pick up whoever called, who could it be?

"Continue the meeting."

Adrian held Eleanor’s phone in hand, giving an order casually.

After the meeting ended, the Legal Director immediately went to Adrian Grant, reporting his phone was found by a stranger.

"She said she doesn’t know me?" Adrian asked with an inscrutable tone.

"Yes." The Legal Director nodded, realizing something was off, seeking help from Charles Rhodes.

Charles looked indifferent: "The caller was Miss Winslow, whom you know."

"Winslow...Wait——" The Legal Director swallowed the word ’hell,’ trying hard to mask his shocked expression.

No, having accidentally heard the sleepy voice of the boss’s woman, so soft... Would he be held grudges by the boss, and have difficulties ahead?!
