"Adriana, I am doing this for your own good. If you leave Boston, you can stretch your talents anywhere else. There is no need for you to stay here." Horton stopped her from leaving.
Adriana frowned and looked displeased. "You don't want me to stay in Boston so much. Are you afraid I will take away everything you have now?"
"Afraid of you?" Horton seemed to have been seen through and instantly jumped up. "Adriana, after so many years, you are still so arrogant. Do you really think you are powerful?
"Let me tell you. Not to mention you are just an employee of Moonlight Group, even if you start your own company, I have nothing to be afraid of."
Horton just didn't want to trouble her and left her a way out. She actually felt he was afraid of her. How ridiculous!
Hearing that, Adriana was not angry. If it had been in the past, she would have lost her temper.
