Cindy Clarke looked over in surprise.

Others may be ignorant, but she knew.

That was Adrian Zhekova’s ringtone.

Immediately, Adrian Zhekova appeared at the door.

Everyone was shocked, especially Cindy.

Adrian Zhekova was not alone; he arrived with five judges and several main persons in charge of the major competition.

Since Adrian Zhekova showed up personally, they had to keep up with him, right?

Cindy stared blankly at Adrian, who she had been on the phone with, appearing suddenly in front of her, as if dreaming.

At this moment, Adrian stood in the doorway, one hand casually housed in his trouser pocket.

Obviously, he had just come from the company, still decked in his dapper suit, standing tall and upright.

For some reason, Cindy’s heart throbbed faster. Seeing Adrian here made her feel quite different, pleasantly surreal.

At first, she was nervous around Adrian, after all, he seemed so out of reach to her.

However, over time, the more they interacted, the more she treated him like an ordinary person.

Especially because he was the father of her child.

In her heart, Adrian’s positioning had unconsciously become more intimate.

That sense of distance and awe had vanished.

Maybe it was because, with her, Adrian always maintained a relaxed attitude when they were alone together.

But now, Adrian once again presented his work persona to the public.

His aloof demeanor was somewhat intimidating.

Everyone around was being cautious and respectful, exhibiting a bit of flattery when dealing with him.

This allowed Cindy to see another side of Adrian.

Cindy realized, to others, Adrian still towered high above, like a mountain. The recent closeness in their relationship had made her forget this aspect for a while.

Now, standing at the same perspective as others, those feelings returned.

This made her realize that Adrian was truly a man who stood on clouds.

Adrian swept his cold eyes over the crowd. Only when his eyes fell on Cindy, did his expression become warm.

Surprised, Cindy still held the mobile phone to her ear, frozen in the position ready to make a call.

Upon making eye contact with Adrian, she came back to her senses.

Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Adrian, in front of everyone, picked it up.

Cindy looked at his actions, dumbfounded.

She didn’t even have time to hang up in a hurry.

Adrian lightly chuckled, softly saying, “I’m here, just arrived.”

Cindy: ‘

In her heart, she exclaimed that of course she knew he was here, wasn’t he standing right in front of her?

Cindy didn’t dare respond and flustered, she promptly hung up the phone.

She felt guilty and didn’t dare to look at Adrian again.

Everyone looked at Adrian in shock.

Who was he on the phone with, to sound so tender?

However, the contestants weren’t that surprised.

After all, they weren’t familiar with Adrian’s temperament.

But the senior management of the competition, and Michael Greene, Quire’s head chef, were all too familiar with Adrian’s temperament.

Especially Michael Greene, who knew Adrian’s temper inside out.

They had never, ever heard Adrian speak so patiently and gently to anyone.

Adrian’s tone just now could have cloyed a person to death.

At any rate, Michael Greene had goosebumps.

He stealthily let his gaze fall upon Cindy’s face.

When Adrian answered his phone earlier, Cindy was also holding her mobile phone.

When Cindy put her phone down, Adrian magically also hung up his phone..
