My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 99

Noticing my confusion, she retrieved her phone and opened up the headlines of Ucrebury's local news.

I carefully read through the news headlines and saw that the rumors had already begun ever since

Sawyer took me out for dinner with his Maybach. The comments made were not pleasant at all; I was

basically described as a filthy prostitute.

After reading through the posts, I could feel my head aching again. No wonder those managers gave

me their weird looks...

Did that mean that Hendrix had changed the villa's lock because of this as well?

Recalling Sawyer answering the phone on my behalf, I could feel my frustration rising. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Why did everything have to happen in one shot?

My mobile phone buzzed, and Kelsey immediately left me to my own privacy.

I glanced at my phone and saw that it was Sawyer. I answered the call and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Did you see the headline?" He spoke casually.

I replied in a bad mood, "I've seen it!"

"Tomorrow is my mom's birthday, do you want to come together?" He said nonchalantly as if the

headlines were no big deal at all.

I pinched the area between my eyebrows and said, "I don't have time. You need to find a way to

explain

the headline."

Other than Hendrix, I don't know who else I could turn to.

The headlines had definitely stood in the way.

After a moment of silence, Sawyer said, "I'll take care of it."

"Yes!" I said. "Don't create any more trouble!"

I didn't know when Aaron would make his way to Ucrebudy. If Hendrix had cut me out of his life

because of this scandal, I wouldn't have the strength to endure a reenactment of the incident five years

ago.

When my life was at stake, everything else seemed so trivial now.

Hanging up on Sawyer, I put my phone aside and went straight into Hendrix's office.

Hendrix's office no longer had the liveliness it once had. This time, it was quiet and cold. His assistant,

Evan, was also absent from the place.

Only the clatterings of a keyboard could be heard from within. I stood near the entrance and knocked

on the door a few times.

"Come in!" His voice was still pleasant to the ear as always.

A few seconds later, I pushed open the door. My heartbeat had initially steadied down a little, but it

began racing again as I got closer to Hendrix.

Hendrix's office was empty, the clattering of his keyboard was especially vivid to hear.

I stood in front of his desk and did not speak a

word. I was fully engrossed in watching him focusing on his work. It was true that men who took their

work seriously always had a charm to them.

"Leave it on the table, I'll sign it later!" He was so focused on his work that he didn't even look up to

realize that the person standing in front was me.

I stood there quietly, still not making any sound.

After a while, he frowned and stopped what he was doing. When he looked up to realize that it was me,

his face immediately turned solemn.

"What's the matter?" He said calmly.

"Hendrix, let's have a chat!" It was necessary for me to explain what happened between Sawyer and I.

He leaned his slender body back into his office chair and glared at me before saying with disdain,

"Director Reid, do you have work- related matters that you wish to discuss with me?"

Unfamiliar and cold.

I pursed my lips and said, "Hendrix, I can explain what happened between me and Sawyer!"
