After knowing Who She Is They Kneeled novel Chapter 154

hapter 154

The sight of the two of them, so evenly matched and yet inexplicably compatible, left Ruby standing by, too stunned to say a word.

He had been with his boss for so many years and had never seen anyone break through his boss’s cold, ascetic demeanor.

But then this young woman appeared, without any soft words or gentle whispers, just a low laugh mixed with a charming beauty, who wasn’t afraid of their boss at all, and even teased him about his courtesy name.

She probably hadn’t seen the boss with his hands covered in blood, looking violent and ice- cold.

Every time the boss dealt with someone, those of them who followed him would tremble in

fear.

And yet, the boss was always reasonable in his actions, with clear rewards and punishments.

But no one had ever dared to get close to the boss.

Annelise didn’t ask them to stay for dinner, seeing the obvious fatigue on the man’s handsome face.

She just prepared some Steamed Mushroom & Veggie Buns and some brewed herbal remedies for him to take home.

“In the bun filling, I added some medicinal herbs for flavor. They should basically help with your appetite.”

Annelise then acted like a doctor again: “I’ll write down the dietary restrictions you need to follow. Show it to your housekeeper at home, and don’t mix ingredients carelessly.”

Adrian smiled and said, “Okay.”

He was indeed very cooperative with the treatment.

Ruby couldn’t even count how many times he’d been shocked.

His expression was utterly dazed.

Adrian glanced at him, then his gaze fell on Annelise. “There’s something I’d like to discuss in private.”

“In private?”

Annelise thought for a moment, then said, “Follow me.”

She led him to a blind spot in the Herbal Treatment Room, a place with an excellent view, yet not easily seen by others.

“What did you want to talk about?”

Annelise asked casually.

Adrian, however, lowered his gaze to her eyes. “How long have you been like this?”

“Like this?”

Annelise didn’t understand what he meant at first.

Adrian pressed down on her wrist, then turned it over. In the narrow space, he slowly closed in, his voice overly gentle, “Like this–losing control and hurting people, unable to control your own strength, or should I say, unable to control the restlessness inside you. How long has it been?”

“What?

Did you minor in psychology?”

Annelise was pinned by him like that, her back against the wall, but she showed no sign of panic. Instead, her smile widened, revealing a different kind of beauty. “Want to try and cure

me?”

Adrian’s fingertips rubbed against her wrist, his voice deepening a little. “From now on, cultivate a calm spirit. If you really want to deal with someone, tell me. You don’t have to do it yourself.”

“We’ll see.

Being looked at by him like this, Annelise felt an indescribable irritation, and it seemed the closer he got, the stronger that irritation became.

It had been a long time since Annelise had felt this way.
