Chapter 321: 321. Bring the person up_1

Upon reaching the top floor, Adam Jones, carrying the food container, walked toward his office but was called out by Harry Hall.

"Adam."

Adam Jones turned around and saw Harry walking towards him. After much deliberation, he said, "If you can’t let go of her, you might as well let go of what happened eight years ago. After all, you don’t have that many eights years in a lifetime to squander."

As a brother, that was all he could say; the choice was still Adam Jones’s to make.

Adam Jones gave him a look, offered a wry smile, said nothing, and resumed walking to his office.

When Adam Jones opened his office door, Elly Campbell was still reviewing a document. Hearing the sound, she instinctively looked up and caught Adam Jones’s gaze.

"I’ve brought lunch, come and eat."

Elly Campbell was taken aback for a moment, not having expected that Adam Jones had gone out earlier specifically to buy her lunch.

With various online food delivery apps available, she had not imagined that Adam Jones would personally go out to buy lunch.

"Thank you."

Pushing down the unusual feeling in her heart, she set aside the documents in her hands and stood up to walk over.

Just as she took a seat, Adam Jones’s cellphone rang. It was Robert Green, calling from where he was being punished in the mailroom.

Elly Campbell couldn’t make out what Robert was saying, only noticing that Adam Jones had a terrifyingly cold expression when he answered Robert’s call.

"Bring him up later."

A frown settled on his face as he hung up the call and turned towards Elly Campbell sitting on the sofa beside him; his ice-cold visage softened slightly.

"Do you like this food? If not, I’ll go buy something else."

Elly’s gaze swept over the opened food containers. They were all light dishes, but even though they were simple, the preparation was exquisite, and the appearance alone was enough to whet one’s appetite.

"It’s fine, I’m not picky."

She picked up her chopsticks and began eating, one bite at a time. Out of the corner of her eye, she was aware that Adam Jones’s gaze had settled on her face and wasn’t shifting, making her feel uneasy all over.

Forcing herself to ignore him, she focused all her attention on the meal in front of her, but with Adam staring at her, she lost all desire to eat and soon stopped.

"I’m full."

She set down her chopsticks and turned to Adam Jones, "I’ve dealt with your documents, and if there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving now."

"What’s the rush?"

Adam Jones knitted his brows in displeasure, his dark pupils fixed on Elly Campbell with a trace of irritability, "Do you dislike staying here that much?"

His words coated Elly Campbell’s face with a shade of surprise, "I’ve finished processing your documents, what reason do I have to stay?"

The confusion and astonishment in her eyes only intensified the irritation in Adam Jones’s heart.

"Can’t you just stay a little while longer?"

As he said this, his expression was awfully awkward, and his face read of discomfort.

"No, I’m in a hurry."

Without a second thought, Elly Campbell declined.

She rose from the sofa, walked to the desk to grab her bag, and headed for the door, only to be abruptly called back by Adam Jones.

"Elly!"

At that, Elly Campbell’s steps halted unexpectedly.

Adam Jones had rarely called her with such a tone; she thought she had grown used to his indifference, but at this moment when he suddenly called out her name, she could distinctly feel a dull pain in her heart.

Standing with her back to Adam Jones, her grip on her bag tightened. She didn’t turn around, only saying, "Is there anything else?"
