Chapter 319: 319. The Neglected Young Wife_1

Hearing the hint of dissatisfaction in his voice, Elly Campbell looked at him with some surprise before smiling and saying:

"Of course, I didn’t come to Boston to be your assistant."

Adam Jones’s gaze darkened, and although Elly Campbell was stating the fact, he couldn’t feel happy about it.

Before Lily Jones arrived, although her attitude towards him had not been good, it hadn’t been this distant. Was she taking out her anger on Lily on him?

Adam Jones felt somewhat wronged and asked her, "Are you angry?"

Elly Campbell was taken aback by Adam Jones’s sudden question. "What?"

She then listened as Adam continued, "Lily Jones is an idiot who made you angry, but you shouldn’t take it out on me; that’s not fair to me."

Adam’s eyes were filled with a small complaint, and his words made Elly pause again, her eyes clouded with confusion.

"When did I ever take out my anger on you because of Lily Jones?"

She put down the document in her hand, looked into Adam’s aggrieved eyes, and laughed, "You said it yourself, she’s an idiot. I wouldn’t stoop to the level of an idiot, and she’s certainly not worth wasting my time over."

Adam Jones watched her and truly believed she didn’t care about Lily Jones’s drama from before.

But if that was the case, why had she suddenly become so cold?

Although she wasn’t overly explicit about it, his defenses were up, and he could feel even the slightest bit of her coldness.

Elly Campbell saw that Adam Jones didn’t answer and didn’t care, shifting her gaze back to the document in front of her.

"If it’s not because of Lily Jones, why have you suddenly become cold?"

Adam’s voice, laced with a hint of complaint, once again interrupted Elly Campbell’s work, his expression similar to that of a wife neglected by her husband.

Elly Campbell frowned slightly, looking at him with a bit of confusion, "What?"

She asked softly, not understanding why Adam Jones would suddenly come out with such a remark.

She had suddenly become cold?

When had she ever been warm to him?

Hadn’t it always been like this?

Adam Jones looked into the blankness of her eyes, feeling quite displeased inside.

There was always the feeling that he was being overly sentimental.

After another glance at Elly Campbell’s puzzled look, he said, "Keep busy, I’ll be out for a bit."

Elly Campbell didn’t know what exactly was bothering him. Watching him leave the office, she turned her attention back to the document.

Yet her mind kept replaying Adam Jones’s earlier comment.

Cold?

Elly Campbell knitted her brows in some bewilderment. Was that so?

Her gaze involuntarily fell on the drawer where Adam had thrown the picture frame; her eyes inadvertently dimmed and then she withdrew her gaze lightly.

Adam Jones stepped out of the office, feeling unreasonably irritable.

He adjusted his necktie and strode towards the exit of the company building. Before long, everyone saw him return with a big bag of food.

Through the receptionist, everyone knew that the woman who had come up with the president was the president’s wife, and now, seeing the president bring up such a big bag of stuff, it was clearly for his wife.

They’d never seen the president get close to any woman besides Miss Jones, and had even wondered about the president’s orientation, only to discover he had a wife all along.

But why didn’t the president ever bring his wife out?
