My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1005

I felt the corner of my mouth twitch. That breakfast was for Evan, so I looked back at Rowane and said, "Miss Zanes, Evan actually hasn't eaten yet."

Rowane was stunned. After hesitating for a moment, she handed the box in her hand to Evan and said, "Evan, do have some!"

Evan was about to decline, but Rowane had already put the box into his hands.

He smiled shyly and accepted the offer.

No one spoke in the car, until Rowane said to Hendrix, "Mr. Roberts, it is Valentine's Day today. Do you have any plans for tonight?"

What? Was this woman trying to make a date with Hendrix?

I couldn't help but look over to Hendrix, who was driving seriously. He just said lightly, "I have work to do tonight!"

Was he trying to imply that he had no time to waste?

Rowane smiled and didn't at all feel embarrassed. She continued, "Your work tonight should be done in a jiffy, right? Why don't we have dinner after?"

Hendrix looked sideways at me. It was deep and dark. Then he asked, "What are you doing tonight?"

Why was he asking me this? "I'll just be relaxing at home," I spluttered.

He responded with a hum and said to Rowane over his shoulder, "I'll be having dinner at home."

His rejection was obvious. Rowane just grunted in acknowledgment and didn't say anything further, but she didn't look very happy.

The car ride was silent all the way to Lancille Village. The Milton Group had built a temporary office space there in order to facilitate the project.

I clocked in and communicated with the staff, in preparation to head over to the Roberts Group's developmental grounds for an overview.

Lancille Village was vast. Besides the tourist spots, restaurants, and residential areas, the rest were tracts of land filled with fruit trees and flowers.

The August season had made the fruit trees ripe for picking. It was too far to walk to the Roberts Group's Al developmental grounds, and it wouldn't be good to drive, either. So, I headed toured the grounds on a bicycle.

Along the way, the fruit trees and flower beds were a beautiful sight to behold.

Upon arriving, I saw that Rowane had put on a hat. With her white dress on, she looked like a tourist.

Seeing her holding some documents at the entrance to the base and looking at me, she seemed not too happy to see me, nor wanting to talk to me.

I didn't want to either, so I ignored her and went on to look for Hugo Lance, the person in charge.

"We will be starting the work on the grounds here today. We have also talked with Mr. Milton's side as well, so you'll be coming over for the next few days, right?" Hugo said as he handed the necessary documents and data files over to me.

I nodded. "Yes. I'm in charge of the project. Once work starts for this project, make sure to take into account all safety measures. Also, there's a festival coming up, so there will be more tourists around. Make sure to take care of the safety of all staff and tourists as well."

After all, it was an engineering project. If something happened, it will be a huge headache, so safety must come first.

Hugo nodded and asked, "Do you need to go look at the emerald grounds?"

I shook my head. "There's no need to for the time being. Some people from the Roberts Group will be heading over."

Development on that side had already taken form. The people from the Roberts Group would only need to discuss on how to incorporate their Al technology into it.

I was busy all morning, so I didn't hear Naomi's call and only noticed it when I took a break for lunch.

I called back and only after a few rings, the call connected.

"Arianna, are you busy with your work? Why haven't you answered the phone?" Naomi said from the other line.
