My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 215

On top of that, Hendrix, who had just taken over Roberts Group, was vigorously taking in new projects

from various sectors. It was quite a big deal at that time. Many students from Ucrebury University had

praised Hendrix's visions and capabilities on the school forum.

On the contrary, Ian had too much time on his hand, so he wrote an article asserting that Hendrix could

bring downfall to the Roberts Group. He even listed ten reasons as supporting arguments.

That post blew up and made it all over the headlines in Ucrebury.

After all, that post has directly slandered the Roberts family's reputation. They approached Ian in

private, and I had no clue what happened eventually. But in the end, Ian posted a public apology.

Curled on the passenger seat, Ian sheepishly exclaimed, "What a doomed-destiny! I can't escape from

the Roberts."

I cackled and teased him, "We have guest rooms. If you don't like the hotel, you can stay at my place."

"Stop it!" He quickly rejected and shook his head, "I still want to live a long life. I'll figure it out on my NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

own."

On our way to the restaurant, Ian brought me up to date on what happened over the past years. He

slightly frowned as he asked, "Why don't you tell Hendrix about the kidnapping? It's much easier for

him to investigate it than doing it yourself."

Since it was a part of treating my illness, I hid nothing. "I'm not sure if Hendrix still has feelings for

Andrea. If Andrea was the one behind all those incidents, then I'm just digging my own grave. It's better

for me to take matters into my own hands."

"F*ck!" He cursed, "All you've done was getting yourself married to Hendrix. I guess being married into

a rich family isn't all that glitters."

I agreed in silence.

Soon after, we arrived at the restaurant.

I parked the car, and we entered the restaurant. Monique arrived earlier and had gotten us seats. When

she saw us, she waved excitedly. "Over here!"

Ian's smile was a tad too flirtatious, and he shouted back, "Hey, honey!" It obviously drew much

attention from the other diners.

The moment he took off his sunglasses, more people turned their heads over. Ian definitely had the

looks of a celebrity.

We heard two girls whispering, "What a handsome man! Is he a celebrity?"

"I don't know. Pretty sure he's either an actor or a model. But look, he's with a pregnant lady. Maybe

he's already married."

"Could be! As expected, all the good men are always taken."

"Oh, what a pity."

As soon as we sat down, Ian gave me a nudge. He looked directly at Monique and me, and he proudly

said, "Did you girls hear that? Isn't it nice to go out with me?"

Monique curled her lips and rolled her eyes at him, "Stop being a narcissist. People can't stop looking

at us now. I feel like an animal in the zoo, and it's annoying!"

"Jeez!" Ian sounded truly upset, "It's been so long since we last met. How did your social skills decline

so drastically?"

"Okay, guys!" I finally called out, "We're here to have a peaceful meal. Stop fighting like cats and dogs."

The two of them glared at each other and stopped fussing.

Monique and Ian had always been like this since they first met. None of us understood how they still

managed to get along to this day. After all, fate brought people together, and destiny kept people

together.

"Oh, my!" Halfway through the meal, Ian suddenly looked baffled at the direction of the entrance.

Monique glanced at him and scoffed, "Did you see a ghost?"

"Cut it off already," Ian answered sourly, "I just saw an acquaintance."

Out of curiosity, I looked back and found that the person was Sawyer. He was with a lady.

It's the same girl as before.

Turning back to Ian, I asked earnestly, "Do you know him?"

He nodded. "More than that! Back then, I almost-"

His sentence trailed off as he started eyeing the girl beside Sawyer and mumbled, "Why is this girl still

sticking to him!"
