I nodded. "She asked me out for dinner tonight!"

He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you not going to take me with you?"

Err...

"I think it may be awkward for you to go with us, and a girls' outing can be quite trivial..." It was not that I didn't want him to go to Master Attwood's house.

It was just that I still have a lot of questions about my grandmother, and I wanted to find them out myself.

He leaned back slightly and did not linger on this topic. He then asked, "Have you ever been interested in Sebastian?"

I almost bit my tongue in surprise! I stared at him with my eyes wide open. "What do you mean?"

But alas, it was not a surprise that he would think so given what had happened.

He retracted his gaze and looked a little more relaxed. "You and Naomi are good friends, and she and Sebastian are also well-matched. So you'd better not have any hopes on Sebastian!" Exasperated, I stood up from my seat and glared at him, "Hendrix, I'm afraid you are out of your mind!"

I was so angry that I didn't want to say a word to him, so I left the hotel right away.

Linda was at the entrance. She saw that I was angry and thought that something had happened. Looking at me, she asked, "What's wrong? Did you guys quarrel again?"

I suppressed my anger at once. "Hendrix is just an idiot! A complete idiot!"

Linda originally wanted to probe further, but somehow she shut up and held back her laughter.

I knew that she was laughing at me for scolding Hendrix like that. I curled my lips and continued to relieve my anger. "How could I ever have feelings for Sebastian? Is Hendrix blind? How could he think that way?"

Linda held back her laughter and said, "Arianna, you could just directly tell Mr. Roberts this. It's not good for you to be angry with him like this!"

"What did you say?" I said angrily, "He's just a simple-minded idiot! When Rowane tried to please him, he realized it and behaved indifferently towards her. He could also discern that Sebastian and Naomi have a fling. So, why can't he notice that I have no interest in Sebastian? He didn't use his brain?!"

"Well, don't be so angry! I still have something to do. I'll go first!" She said, still holding back the smile on her face.

I frowned and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I'm going with you. We're going to the base, aren't we?"

"Mr. Roberts is still staring at you. You can go with him. I'll go first!" After that, she left immediately.

I was stunned for a moment before I turned and saw Hendrix standing at the hotel entrance with his arms crossed. A pair of gleaming, obsidian eyes were staring at me... And a smile was on his lips. After all, I had just spoken ill of him! I could not bring myself to face him at all!

So, I was determined to ignore him and prepared to leave by myself.

But after a few steps, I was pulled back by him. "Are you still angry?"

I pursed my lips and said haughtily, "No!"

"I know that nothing happened between you and Sebastian. I shouldn't have said those things. I was wrong!" He said with a hint of amusement and helplessness in his tone.

Feeling dazed for a moment, I said in an unreasonable tone, "How could you be wrong? You are the president, the big boss here! So, how could you be wrong? It's definitely all my fault!" After that, I shook off his hand. I was being very petulant, and wanted to leave.

But he grabbed my hand and directly pressed me into his arms. He said helplessly, "That's enough, we have work later. Stop throwing a tantrum. Let's go to the base!"

He behaved like he was coaxing a child. I knew I was wrong and couldn't argue with him anymore.

After a pause, I looked at him and said, "In the future, don't mention this matter!"

He smiled and promised me. "Okay! I won't mention it!"

I always suspected that Evan had a special power. Why could he always appear in time whenever we needed him?
