My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1067

Surprised and confused, I looked up at him.

He reached out to pull me over, gently pushed away my sleeves to reveal my wrists, and saw the scratches. He frowned and said, "Didn't you fight back?"

I nodded and said, "Yes, but I cut my nails a few days ago, so it didn't hurt when I scratched her. I just yanked on her hair a few times."

He looked at me, and his handsome face was filled with disappointment. He said, "Since your nails were trimmed, wouldn't you have thrown a punch or a kick?"

I held back my laughter, looked at him, and said, "Come on, I'm not a brute, so I won't throw a punch during a fight. Anyway, I'm fine. Linda splashed a huge basin of water on Rowane, so, we won overall."

He looked at me and said in disgust, "Two of you fought with one lady, and you got injured, even. And it wasn't you who splashed the water! What if Linda wasn't here? Were you planning to let Rowane disfigure you?"

I didn't say anything else. I lowered my head like a child. "I would not dare fight with Rowane if Linda was not here. Rowane is so cruel, so I would never win! So I would not pick a fight, clearly!" He snorted and ignored me. Then, he turned around and was about to leave.

I followed him, and after a few steps, I squatted down, watching him walk away. Internally, I felt a twinge of pleasure.

He took a few steps and probably didn't realize what I was doing behind him. Then, he turned and his eyes fell on me. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I'm injured. I can't walk!" I squatted on the ground. Petulantly, I pretended to be injured and did not move.

He grasped his forehead and said helplessly, "Tell me now, what should I do?"

I thought for a moment with my head tilted and said, "Carry me away!"

His face fell and his eyes were full of helplessness. "Is your leg hurt?"

I shook my head. "No!"

"Hmm," he said, "Then, why should I carry you?"

"If you don't want to, then so be it!" I said. Then, I got up to walk away.

I knew what he wanted me to say, but I was just being difficult. Sometimes, I just did not feel like following through!

He looked at me with a smile in his gaze. When I passed by him, he suddenly picked me up from the ground, a little roughly!

I was shocked and called out, "Hendrix, you b*stard!"

He snorted and didn't say anything.

On the corridor were a group of people. They were all employees from the base, completely shocked by the sight of Hendrix and me.

There were all sorts of expressions on their faces. I could understand it. Before this, Hendrix and Rowane had been very close. These employees had been thinking that they were a couple to begin with. Especially when he ate with Ziglar that day, Hendrix had not explained anything. Ziglar clearly had a misunderstanding, and seemingly Hendrix acquiesced in the relationship between Rowane and himself. Eventually everyone thought Hendrix and Rowane were a couple.

Now that they saw us walking out like this, I was afraid that it would lead to all sorts of unnecessary speculations.

Hendrix didn't seem to notice at all. He led me into the base's office and then put me on the chair.

I saw that he was about to leave. I couldn't help but ask, "Hendrix, where are you going?"

He looked back at me and said, "Get some medication and apply it to your wounds. Are you planning to leave scars on your body?"

I shook my head. "Of course not!"

After I watched his tall figure exiting the office, I leaned over the desk and flipped through the documents that Evan had arranged.

They were all documents that had been discussed in the meeting recently, and they were not important. So, after looking at them for a while, I lost interest.
