My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 19

Kelsey worked with me for two years, thus she knew a lot about me and Hendrix. She frowned when

she heard me and asked, "If you really agree to it, wouldn't you be betraying Master Roberts then?"

"Besides, if you agree to it now, the share Master Roberts gave you would be returned to Mr. Roberts.

Director, it'll be a huge loss!"

I knew what she was worried about. I checked my watch and noticed that it was getting late. I did not

explain and concluded, "I have my own plans. Hurry and get it for me. I have something to do later."

Kelsey knew that I would not listen to her, thus she hurried out of the office anxiously.

I cleaned up and grabbed the car keys. I waited for Kelsey at the stairs. Fortunately, she was quick on

her feet and she retrieved the documents swiftly.

She handed me the file and advised reluctantly, "Director, it's not the best time for you to file a divorce,

you—"

"Alright!" I interrupted her and went into the elevator. I stared at her and uttered, "Work hard. I know

what to do."

Before she could speak, the elevator door closed.

I arrived at the garage and drove to meet up with Josiah.

The Northern Heaven was an elegant restaurant. The interior was classy and the dishes were

exquisite. It was quite expensive, therefore it was catered to wealthy customers even though it was

quiet and relaxing.

I made a reservation, therefore I went to my table as soon as I entered the restaurant. To my surprise,

Josiah came early.

He was in casual attire. His clothes were neat and unwrinkled. He sat by the window elegantly. He was

tapping his slender fingers on the table leisurely.

"Sorry, I'm late!" I sat opposite him. I signaled the waiter to order some food.

He was staring out the window blankly. He turned when he heard some noise. He raised an eyebrow

when he spotted me and chuckled, "A beautiful lady is treating me today, how could I be late?" © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

It was rare to see him smile. I handed the menu to him and replied smilingly, "Has anyone ever told you

that you look gentle and flawless when you smile?"

He raised an eyebrow and did not touch the menu. On the contrary, he motioned me to order. He

narrowed his eyes and stared at me as he answered, "You're the first!"

I grinned and did not argue with him. I ordered a few dishes and I tried my best to order some dishes

that he might like.

After handing the menu to the waiter, I took a sip of water. He continued to stare at me but did not

speak.

I was taken aback. I put down the glass and questioned, "Is there something on my face?"

The corners of his lips curled. It was easy to tell that he was in a good mood. "This is the first time I'm

eating with my best friend's woman, it feels..."

He paused for a moment and he was still smiling. He continued, "...not bad!"

It was said that birds of a feather flock together. Hendrix was always cold and indifferent, therefore the

people around him were certainly not ordinary people.

I did not question him nor think too much into it. I stared at him and cut to the chase. I asked, "I have a

favor. Will you help me, Doctor Saunders?"

He raised an eyebrow and leaned back. He asked as his eyes were fixated on me, "What can I do for

you?"

"I need some medicine after getting rid of my baby!"

He frowned and asked, "That's it?"

I nodded. "I heard that you're a genius, Doctor Saunders. I'd like to ask you for some medicines to

nurture my body after getting rid of my baby. Will you help me?'¹
