CHAPTER 598: CHAPTER 598 SHE IS MISSING

"Don’t worry about it." Adrian Walyon tossed her a remark, focusing on his driving.

Summer Sutton actually guessed that the Old Master calling Adrian Walyon to talk alone wouldn’t be so simple, but since Adrian Walyon didn’t elaborate, she didn’t ask much.

She knew that Adrian Walyon just didn’t want to say too much and make her worry.

After returning to Morning Garden, Adrian Walyon didn’t care about the injury on his face and went to the study to work.

Up until now, neither of them had eaten dinner.

Summer Sutton simply cooked some late-night snacks in the kitchen, brought them up, and placed them on his desk.

"I made some noodles, give them a try."

Adrian Walyon set his documents aside and devoured the noodles she brought over in a few bites.

He ate quickly, clearly hungry.

Summer Sutton sat by him, quietly watching him for a while, and couldn’t help but lift her hand, gently resting it on the swollen part of his face.

Her fingertips lightly touched his wound, and Summer Sutton just silently looked, suddenly not knowing what to say.

"It’s not your concern, don’t overthink." Adrian Walyon held her hand, guiding her palm to his cheek, lightly rubbing against her soft skin.

"Let me help you take care of it." Summer Sutton stood up, went to the kitchen for some ice cubes, wrapped them in a towel, and returned to the study to apply them to his face.

Her movements were gentle; Adrian Walyon leaned back in his chair, feeling the softness of her palm, and suddenly started enjoying it.

Taking a few punches was worth her attentive care, and suddenly he thought it was quite worthwhile.

...

Adrian Walyon’s face was injured these days, and to avoid causing gossip at the company, he worked from home for several consecutive days.

Summer Sutton still went to Royal Delight as usual.

She approached her time at Royal Delight with a purely learning mindset.

Once she learned enough and had full wings, managing her father’s company shouldn’t be a problem.

Everyone could see how hardworking Summer Sutton was after she joined the company.

While others worked normally for just seven hours a day, she worked four hours more than the average person.

After finishing work at night, when most of the company had left, she could often still be seen working overtime in the company building.

Summer Sutton worked overtime until quite late tonight, leaving the company building after ten o’clock.

At this hour, Royal Delight was already deserted, with only a few security guards at the main gate.

Summer Sutton’s car was parked in the underground garage, accessible by elevator, and she headed straight toward where her car was parked.

The Royal Delight Tower, already quiet with all employees gone, was extraordinarily silent in the underground garage at ten o’clock, without a shadow in sight.

As Summer Sutton searched for her car, Adrian Walyon suddenly called, "Have you finished work? Do you want me to come and pick you up?"

By this time, Summer Sutton was almost ready to head back and didn’t think much about it. She shook her head, "No need, I’m already in the parking lot, just about to head back."

"Be careful on the road!" Adrian Walyon reminded her briefly, then hung up the phone.

Summer Sutton ended the call and continued toward her parking spot.

Arriving in front of her car, just as she was about to get in, a clunking sound of footsteps suddenly echoed in the garage.

The slow, heavy footsteps made Summer Sutton pause.

Carefully discerning the frequency of the footsteps, her heart skipped a beat.

Sensing that something was wrong, she opened the car door to get in, but a dark shadow suddenly loomed over, followed by a peculiar fragrance that overcame her, and within moments, Summer Sutton lost consciousness...
