My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1056

I didn't pay any attention to her at this time. After the meeting, I caught up with Hendrix directly.

Unexpectedly, I passed by Rowane, and as I was distracted, I was nearly tripped over by her.

Fortunately, I was close to Hendrix, so I threw myself directly at him. With so many people present, it was inevitable that I would feel embarrassed.

After I regained by balance, I apologized profusely.

Hendrix's gaze darkened as he glanced at Rowane and me. His gaze was cold and distant. Rowane was a little startled. Then, she lowered her head and left, seemingly a little aggrieved.

"What's the matter?" Hendrix asked when he saw her leave.

"Do you have time? Let's talk." I spoke, a little out of breath.

"Sure!" He turned around and walked out of the meeting room.

I followed him. After walking for a while, and seeing that there was no one around, I said, "The missing items have not been found yet, and the police are still investigating. As for the compensation, can we finalize it after the police have given their findings?"

He was walking in front of me, so I could not see his expression clearly. Instead of answering me, he went straight ahead.

He stopped suddenly. I was caught off guard and bumped directly into his back, and my nose was hurt from the impact.

He looked back and frowned. "Are you trying to seduce me?"

Me?!

The way of his mind was really baffling beyond words.

As I stepped back and distanced myself from him, I said, "Hendrix, you should seriously consider my words. Handling it this way would be more impartial!"

He did not speak but instead took out a card from his suit. I was stunned for a moment before I realized that we had arrived at the door to his hotel room.

He opened the door and went in. He completely ignored my remark!

Seeing this, I did not hesitate. I followed him in and closed the door.

I looked at him and continued, "I know that this mistake has brought a lot of loss to Roberts Group... Ah!"

I didn't expect that after he took off his jacket, he directly took off his shirt, revealing his firm, muscular abdomen.

I blushed and quickly turned my back to him. I couldn't help but have an unspeakable feeling in my heart. "Hendrix, why did you take off your clothes?!"

"Take a shower and sleep!" he said briefly.

I pursed my lips and heard the sound of a leather belt sliding behind me. Then, some inappropriate thoughts appeared in my mind, and my face burned with embarrassment.

I couldn't help but say, "Hendrix, are you crazy? You're taking off your clothes so randomly. You..."

"This is my room. Can't I take them off?" He said in a low and restrained voice, "Go ahead, say what you want to say, then leave quickly, I'm going to bed soon!"

I pursed my lips and turned my back to him. I gritted my teeth and said, "Hendrix, consider what I said. The police have not yet delivered conclusive results. If they eventually locate the missing items, it would be unfair to Milton Group."

There was no movement behind me. I was stunned and waited for a while, but all was still silent.

I could only turn back. Then, my eyes widened in shock. Hendrix was only wearing a pair of black boxers, and his entire muscular torso was exposed.

I quickly turned around and felt a little helpless. "Mr. Roberts, can you put on your clothes first and take a shower later?"

"If you are dissatisfied with the results of today's matter, and are speaking to me in your capacity as a secretary of the Milton Group, then, you have no right. If the Milton Group wants to negotiate, they should send Sebastian. So, Arianna, are you coming to see me using your identity as my wife? Or just as a mere secretary of the Milton group? Which is it?"
