My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 279

Once Minnie was done, Irvin got up and prepared to leave. Looking at the phone that he had left

behind, I called him, "Mr. Granger, how much is the phone?"

"This much," he raised the bag of muffins in his hand and said. "A fair barter exchange."

At that, Irvin really left.

Minnie had never met him before. So, when she saw Irvin left, she came to stand by me and asked,

"Madam, who is he?"

"He's Irvin, Yohannes's son."

"Oh!" Minnie nodded and mumbled under her breath, "I still don't know him!"

I laughed, but I didn't explain too much. She wouldn't know anyway.

Minnie handed me the bag of muffins that she had packed for Hendrix and said, "Master would be so

delighted if he sees you bring them to him personally."

I wasn't sure whether Hendrix would be happy, but I knew for sure that he would be busy.

I hadn't been to the company in Jarold City. So, I was a little surprised when I arrived at the company

by taxi.

Hendrix was indeed zealous. He had bought all three of the main buildings in the downtown area for

the company, and it was imposing.

People were walking in and out of the front door of the main building. Minnie was worried that I would

be pushed, so she put an arm around me and reminded me, "Be careful."

At the reception desk.

The exquisite lady at the front desk was busy dealing with other visitors. So, even though Minnie had

asked several times, she was still being ignored.

It somewhat made Minnie a little irritated, "Miss, could you at least tell us where the president's office

is? Why are you so rude?"

Her loud voice attracted the attention of many people. The receptionist had to look at Minnie, and she

replied politely, "Ma'am, it's not that I don't want to tell you. But countless people ask for Mr. Roberts

every day. You have to make an appointment to see him. If you don't have an appointment, we can't

send you on your way."

Minnie was upset. "Just how busy is he for his wife to have needed to make an appointment to see

him?"

The receptionist was taken aback for a moment, and she laughed, "Ma'am, Mr. Roberts' fiancee has

just gone up. How would he have a wife? I think you must have gotten the wrong person."

"How would I find the wrong person?" Minnie placed the muffins on the desk and said, "Mr. Roberts has

been married for three years now. And a child is on his way! Fiancee, you say? Stop joking!"

The receptionist's smile turned disdainful, and she said, "Ma'am, you should watch what you say. Why

wouldn't we know if Mr. Roberts is married or not? His fiancee has been coming to visit him these days. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

We wouldn't possibly make such a simply mistake!"

Before Minnie could say anything else, I called and stopped her, "Minnie."

"Arianna!" Minnie looked at me and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you tired? Go over there

and rest for a while. I'll talk to them."

I smiled softly and shook my head at her, "It's okay, Minnie." Putting a hand to support my baby bump, I

walked up to the front desk and asked the lady, "Is the supposed fiancee a Miss Burton?"

The receptionist seemed shocked that I was able to name his fiancee, and she nodded, "Yes! She's the

lady from the Moore family who was lost many years ago. She met Mr. Roberts in Ucrebury. She's

already pregnant with his child, and I heard that they are going to get married soon."

"Nonsense!" Minnie scolded as she couldn't bear it any longer. "What are you talking about? Just how

shameless Andrea must be to keep pestering Mr. Roberts? Her baby can't be his!"

"Ma'am, please watch what you said! You shouldn't badmouth her," The front desk lady seemed to be

very defensive of Andrea.

Minnie sneered, "Badmouth? Andrea? What a joke! If she had done nothing wrong, what was there to

talk bad about her?"
