My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 195

I couldn't see the reason why he said that at first, but since Sawyer had a weird expression, I peeped Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

over behind him.

Then, I saw Hendrix. He was wearing a casual suit and cutting the steak gracefully. He sat by the

restaurant's window, and the person sitting opposite him wasn't Andrea, but a girl I had met twice

before. I didn't really know her, but I could still recognize her.

She was Chloe, Richard's niece.

The two of them came to a mall to have steak.

A CEO and his secretary.

"You're right. Let's go," I wasn't avoiding him, but it indeed was a bit awkward. No matter why they were

here, it wasn't appropriate for me to just show up.

Sawyer nodded, but after a pause, he peered at me again. "Even I could tell that something isn't right

between the two of them. Aren't you going to ask?"

Confused, I gazed at him and asked, "What am I going to ask?"

"Well," He was speechless. "It's nothing."

I glanced around and saw a barbecue restaurant at the corner. I blandly suggested, "Let's go over

there."

At this moment, my cell phone rang.

Hendrix was calling me.

I looked over to the restaurant and saw that he was already looking in my direction.

I picked up the phone and heard his clear voice, "Come in and eat together."

"I'm here with my friend. I don't think it's convenient."

Both of us had something to discuss with others, so I really felt that it wasn't a convenient occasion to

dine together.

I saw him narrowed his eyes and put down the fork in his hand. He leaned back lazily and tilted his

head to stare at Sawyer and me.

There was a hint of coldness in his voice. "Is it inconvenient for you or me?"

"Both," Since he wanted me to join, it at least meant that Chloe and he were also talking about

business. Naturally, it wouldn't be appropriate for Sawyer and me to join them.

He swirled the glass of wine leisurely, but his face faintly showed his anger. I quickly said, "See you

tonight!"

After that, I hung up the phone and went to the barbecue restaurant at the corner with Sawyer.

We found a seat and sat down. After Sawyer ordered the food, he rubbed his chin and asked, "Aren't

you worried that other women would come after Hendrix?"

I took a sip of water. Then, I looked at him and went straight to the point. "What do you want to talk to

me about?"

Failing to talk gossip with me, Sawyer looked bored. "It's about Jarold City. Hendrix seems to intend to

move Roberts Group to Jarold City."

I nodded, "I know."

He wasn't surprised that I knew. He stared at me and continued, "Yeah, that's normal. But what's odd is

that my mother also plans to move Clark Group's headquarters to Jarold City."

"That's great!" Seeing that he was a little dejected, I said, "Jarold City is a financial center anyway. If

she moves the company over there, the company will have better development in the future."

He fixed his eyes at me as if he was looking at an idiot. "Do you really not know or are you playing

dumb? Roberts Group has monopolized almost half of the economic lifeline of Ucrebury. I reckon that

Roberts Group has much more advantages in Ucrebury than in Jarold City. What's more, Roberts

Group already has a branch in Jarold City."

"The branch has been established in Jarold City for so many years, and it's obvious that its

development isn't as good as that of Ucrebury. Hendrix isn't a fool. He plans to move Roberts Group's

headquarters to Jarold City not for the future of the company, but for some people!"

I was a little puzzled by what he said. I asked blankly, "What do you mean?"

He was rendered speechless, and he rolled his eyes at me. "Are you a fool? Pedro plans to prepare his

daughter as his successor, and Andrea loves Hendrix. That's why both of them are moving to Jarold

City together. Do you get it now?"

I nodded, but I wasn't as agitated as Sawyer was. "If Hendrix really has such plans, I won't be able to

change anything."

"I'm not asking you to change up something! What you have to do now is to protect yourself and find a

way to get the most benefits before leaving Hendrix. Pedro is planning something big!"
