Chapter 90 Don’t You Think You’re Crossing the Line
Today, the temperature had clearly dropped. About five minutes after Adrian left, Farrah finally went. downstairs while wearing a light jacket.
Holding an umbrella, she arrived at the bus stop as usual, where the heavy rain blurred the city’s buildings. Raindrops splashed against the ground, creating a flurry of water droplets.
The sound of rain filled the air.
While waiting for the bus, Farrah inadvertently turned her gaze and spotted water droplets hanging from a spider web under the small eaves of the bus stop. She was momentarily mesmerized; the beads of water were crystal clear and breathtakingly beautiful.
She tiptoed to get a closer look from a different angle. She was delighted to discover another stunning view. The shape of the spider web was unique, and the distribution of the water droplets varied, resembling a necklace of pearls in different sizes.
She pulled out her phone to capture this beautiful scene, her mood lifting. “The world never lacks beauty: it just lacks eyes to discover it. This pure, flawless sight is so beautiful!”
At that moment, inspiration sparked within her!
She decided to take the time to search for such sights again, especially since it was rare to see spider
webs in the city on rainy days.
In the grand lobby of Prestige Group, the handsome and distinguished Adrian had just stepped into the elevator when Ryan rushed in with some documents just before the doors closed. “Good morning, Mr. Locke!” he greeted, seemingly intending to seize the moment to get acquainted.
Adrian casually placed his hands in his pockets, recognizing the man’s face but not remembering where from. It was a common occurrence for someone of his status to forget faces.
“I’m Ryan from Project Management. We met at Mr. Lovelace’s welcoming dinner,” he said with a warm smile. He was dressed in a sharp suit today.
Adrian sized him up, recalling the events of that evening.
As the elevator doors closed and before Ryan could start chatting again, Adrian asked, “Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed?”
“Huh?” Ryan looked puzzled. What did he mean?
Adrian raised an eyebrow. “So, you struggle to take care of your family when focusing on your career. Is that it?”

Hearing Mr. Locke’s cold tone, Ryan felt a jolt of anxiety. Had Adrian been made aware of issues with Riley?
Adrian fixed his gaze on him, waiting for a response.
Ryan was confused and hesitant to answer.
At that moment, Adrian said calmly, “Be more tolerant with your wife. You’re responsible for earning a Tiving, so avoid any flirtations outside. Over time, you’ll find that your wife will become gentler and more considerate of you.”
This sounded eerily familiar. Yes, on his first day of marriage, that was precisely what Philip had told

Adrian.
“Noted.” Ryan didn’t want to lose his job. Although it was embarrassing, he remained humble. “I’ll definitely improve in the areas where I’m lacking in my marriage!”
But at the same time, he thought, “How could Farrah bring this up with Mr. Locke? Is she out of her mind?”
When the elevator reached the designated floor, the doors opened. As Adrian stepped out, he inadvertently caught sight of the ring on his ring finger.
Adrian was married? This was huge news! The whole department had assumed he was single!
Meanwhile, in the elegant and minimalist CEO’s office, Germaine placed a lovingly prepared breakfast on Adrian’s desk. She had been feeling down lately, unable to shake off her obsessive thoughts. She had struggled to sleep again last night.
Hearing footsteps, she looked up and saw that familiar figure.
Quickly, she lifted the lid from the beautiful breakfast, revealing muffins and pasta salad.
As Adrian approached, she greeted him with a smile and a gentle voice, “Mr. Locke, I brought you breakfast. It’s homemade, nutritious, and healthy. Please give it a try!”
He stopped in front of the desk, his deep gaze locking onto her meticulously made–up face. “Germaine, don’t you think you’re crossing the line?”
He didn’t even glance at the food. As he spoke, he extended his ring–clad finger toward her, once again asserting his marital status.
