Lumma was speechless when hearing Leonard’s words.
She was a little surprised that he dared to gossip about Adam.
But Lumma held the same view when she thought of Adam’s smile while mentioning his wife yesterday
Lamma looked at Adam and saw him swing the golf clubs gracefully, and a ball went into the hole smoothly.
y and his long face this morning,
He swung several times and missed the goal every time.
After a few rounds, he beckoned for water.
Sering this, Lumina hurriedly handed Adam a bottle of water and a towel,
Scott looked at Lumma up and down carefully..
Lumma was wearing a white shirt and a knee–length skirt. Her long hair was tied into a bun, revealing her slender and fair neck. She wore light makeup, making her clean and decent. Her dress and makeup were very normal in the workplace.
Scott kept staring at her breast as if Lumma was wearing nothing, “Mr. Hills, your new assistant is young and beautiful, and she has a perfect figure.”
Adam nodded with a light smile and didn’t speak
Scott smiled and said to Lumma, “Ms. Louis, do you know how to play golf?
As the assistant to the president, Lumina knew a little, but she was not proficient, and it was not her turn to play on this occasion.
“Sorry. I’m not good at it. She hated the way Scott looked at her, but she didn’t dare to do anything on this occasion. She took Adam’s bottle of water and prepared to step aside.
Unexpectedly, Scott patted her buttocks and put his hand around her waist. “Don’t worry, I can teach you.”
Lumma instinctively stepped on Scott’s foot hard. Scott withdrew his hand in pain and gave her a glare
After breaking free, Lumma immediately stepped aside and looked at Adam worriedly…
If she offended the client in this kind of business negotiation, she might be fired.
However, Adam’s low voice suddenly sounded. “Mr. Reid, she is mine.”
hat he was very
He looked at Scott and didn’t have any expression, but the slightly squinted eyes under his silver–rimmed glasses frame showed that! displeased
Scott seemed to be enlightened and smiled. “Mr. Hills, sorry. I didn’t know it I’ll treat you to lunch as an apology.”
Scott was talking to Adam, but his disgusting gaze did not move away from Lumma. He said, “I thought you were not interested in women like the rumors. I can wait since you’re not tired of her right now,”
“MI
d, you should apologize to her!” Adam played with the golf club with a faint smile, still unable to see his emotions.
Scott was stunned for a while. He said with a smile, “Mr. Hills, we are parmers. She is just your plaything
The word “plaything” pierced Lumma’s heart like poisoned needles, and some bad memories from the past came back to her mind.
She got the job and made money on her own. She didn’t understand why she should be humiliated just because she was a girl and looked pretty
Before Adam spoke, Lumma said, “Mr. Reid, don’t you have any female families? Aren’t you born by a woman? Or do you think you have to humiliate a woman to prove yourself?”
She stood upright. Her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was eloquent
Leonard also came over. “Mr. Reid, Hills Group has many partners like you, and our company respects and cares about every employee.”
As they dared to say this, Scott finally realized the gravity of the situation “Mr. Hills, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t say those words to…” He paused and said, “Ms. Louis, I’m sorry!”
The ball flew out and hit a trunk not far away. Then it bounced back towards them and almost hit Scort’s head
Adam swung the gold club vigorously. The
Scott was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he almost kelt down. “Mr. Hills, I was wrong. Please forgive me…
Without saying a word, Adam glanced coldly at Scott’s right hand and left.

Lumma grabbed her computer bag and quickly followed. “Mr. Hills, thank you for helping me!”
Adam walked in front of her. He was six feet and two inches and was a head taller than her. Lumma couldn’t see his expression but only heard his mellow and powerful voice.
“The person who is wrong is the one who harasses you, not you. When you are bullied in the workplace, you must fight no matter what the occasion. Don’t swallow the insult. Our group is on your side.”
It was the first time Lumma heard him say so many words. He told her in a deep and powerful voice and gave her enough sense of security. “Thank you, Mr. Hills. I know what I shall do in the future.”
Adam turned around and saw that Lumma’s eyes were red. She was not afraid when she was humiliated just now, but now she felt wronged
He couldn’t help but sotten his voice. “When you work for me, you stand for me. You don’t have to be afraid of anyone.
“Okay.” Lumma nodded with a nasal voice. She was not afraid but grateful.
When she was bullied back then, she would not have been ruined and homeless if someone like Adam could stand up and point out that the perpetrator
was the one who was wrong, not her.
Adam added, “You did a great job”
Lumma was warmed when she heard that. “Thank
you!‘
At this time, Leonard caught up. “Mr. Hills, I have already notified the relevant departments to cancel the cooperation with Reid Group”
Hills Group had been busy with chip research and development in the past few years and had achieved good performance. As the parent had not been obtained, Hills Group had to cooperate with Reid Group, which was a mature chip manufacturer for some products
As the cooperation was canceled, Hills Group would suffer a lot of losses.
Although Lumma knew what Adam did was not only to protect her but also to protect Hills Group’s reputation, she had more respect for him.
At this interests–driven age, she was lucky to work in a company with such a boss who protected her well.
As the cooperation with Reid Group was cut off, Hills Group had to find a new chip manufacturer.
In the afternoon, Lumma and others followed Adam to Hanton City to negotiate with the new chip company.
After two weeks of intense work, they finally reached a cooperation with a new manufacturer.
Their flight to Red Pine City was tomorrow morning. Seeing it was still early after dinner, Lumma planned to buy some gifts in Hanton City for Harry and
Ruby.
When Leonard heard she wanted to go shopping alone, he said, “Lumma, do you want me to go with you?
As Lumma was good–looking and she was not familiar with Hanron City, it was a little unsafe to go out alone at night.
Leonard asked Adam again, “Mr. Hills, do you want to bring some gifts for Mrs. Hills?”
Adam frowned slightly when he thought of the man’s voice on the phone that night..
After thinking about it carefully, he thought the man’s voice on the phone couldn’t prove anything and thought it might be a misunderstanding…
He nodded. “Yes, buy something for me.”
Lumma said, “Mr. Hills, it’s more sincere to choose the gift for your wife by yourself.”
However, Lumma regretted her words and felt uncomfortable going shopping alone with Adam.
Originally, the three of them came together. As the parking spaces in the shopping mall were full, Leonard drove around looking for parking spaces, leaving Lumma and Adam alone.
