Wife is a Lawyer
Chapter 26 The Plot
“Mark your words and don’t break your promise again,” he said coldly, shutting the door after he entered the bathroom.
Adriana got up and put on some brand-new clothes that were placed on the desk.
She brushed her hair with her fingers and straightened her clothes to make sure she didn’t look like a mess. Then she walked up to the door, took a deep breath and opened the door, “Tessa, you’re here?”
“Adri, what took you so long to open the door?” Theresa stuck out her head and peeped into the room by the door, “are you all alone?”
“Yeah, I’m alone.”
Adriana smiled and asked, “Where were you? I haven’t seen you for a long time.”
Back when she fell into the water, Theresa was the one who brought her to this room. But after she went out of the bathroom, she hadn’t seen her since.
It was natural for her to have some doubts.
“I…I bumped into someone I know.” It had been hours since the incident happened and it was already 11 o’clock.
Theresa thought what should happen must have happened already.
“By the way, did you see Alvin?” Theresa asks tentatively.
Adriana’s eyes darkened and then she shook her head, “No...I didn’t see him. When can we leave?”
“I’m not sure yet. You should ask Alvin. The ship has left the open sea, so if you're in a hurry you can get back early by boat.”
Theresa frowned confusedly, “You really didn’t see Alvin?”
That was odd. If Adriana never saw Alvin, who gave her the antidote?
Adriana shook her head again.
“Why are we still standing by the door? Let’s talk inside,” Theresa pushed Adriana into the room, “you’re all alone by yourself all this time?”
