My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 146

No matter how dull she could be, Andrea could still perceive that Hendrix wanted her to leave.

Aware of Hendrix's expression, Austin looked at Andrea and said, "Andrea, come on, I'll send you

back.'¹

"No!" Andrea yelled with reddened eyes. She looked at Hendrix and complained, "Why should I go?"

Then, she pointed at me and said angrily, "What do you even see in her? She's just a country bumpkin

brought up in poverty! If it weren't for Master Roberts, she wouldn't even-"

"Andrea!" Hendrix snapped, "Go back with Austin!"

"I don't want to!" Andrea sounded determined as she looked at Hendrix, "Hendrix, are you blaming me?

I shouldn't have raised my voice at you and started a fight when you were driving."

Up to that point, she was already sobbing, "Hendrix, I know I was wrong. Don't be mad at me. I promise

I'll never do this again in the future. I promise I'll listen to everything you say. Please don't tell me to

leave!"

No one would have a distinct bottom line when it came to love. Andrea had proven that once again with

her compromise at that moment. She looked desperate and awful right then.

I wouldn't say that I was a decent person, let alone a saint. But I wanted to say something to get me out

of that scene, yet nothing came out from my mouth.

I just left the ward in silence.

I went straight to the company. Perhaps it was due to the conversation we had before, Kelsey was on

leave that day, and her absence had increased my workload.

Advancer Tech's project had already been launched for a while. All those while, Kelsey was in charge

of it on my behalf, so I wasn't familiar with it.

After what had happened with Alford Audit and Kelsey, I felt uneasy, so I went to the finance

department and checked on Advancer Tech's recent performances. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.

Indeed, it was slightly different from what Kelsey had reported to me. After thinking about it, I decided

to look into it on my own.

Nothing serious was wrong with Advancer Tech, but the problem laid within the middlemen. Plus,

Austin was in charge of Advancer Tech before, so I got a lot of stupid answers when I asked around.

It frustrated me. However, as I left Advancer Tech, I saw Troy, the director of Alford Audit.

He was also surprised to see me. He smiled when he saw that I was weary and said, "Miss Reid, what

are you busy with?"

"Just doing market research," I said, my eyes fell on the girl beside him. Troy was in his forties, but she

was only in her mid-twenties. She looked too young to be his wife.

I didn't ask about the girl. Instead, I smiled at him and asked, "Director Lawson, are you shopping?"

He looked at the woman next to him and raised his eyebrows at me, then he asked, "Do you want to

join us, Miss Reid?" "Thank you, but I still have other matters to attend to," I replied. Since we just

happened to see each other, I left after greeting him.

I could hear the girl speaking up as I walked away, "Mr. Lawson, who is she?"

"She's Arianna Reid. Her husband is the CEO of Roberts Group," Troy answered.

"Wow, she's lucky. I heard that Mr. Roberts is young and has a promising future. And..." She continued.

Their voices faded as I got further away. I didn't pay much attention to their conversation, but judging

from the girl's tone, I would say that those two seemed to be deeply involved with each other.

Advancer Tech had a lot of branches in Ucrebury. After visiting a few of them, I got tired. That was

when I decided to single out the branches which seemed to be more problematic based on the

documents I had.

As I came to the last branch of the southern district, I was surprised. The southern district was located

in the outskirts but it was still considered a busy area as it was only a little far away from the city center.

I remembered when they decided to open up a branch at this location back then, the construction fee

reported to us was high. The company had also spent a fortune to build that site. Yet what stood in

front of me was just a simple and crude looking building.

Generally speaking, it wouldn't be possible for an electronic factory to only have one building, not to

mention it was so worn down. A man that was guarding the factory entrance saw me, and he came up

to me, "You can't go inside. The factory has shut down."

Shut down?
