My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1144

I didn't hate Rowane, at least not then. She was actually an excellent woman, worthy of love and care.

Exiting the bathroom, I saw Hendrix and Andrea in the hall.

Hendrix sat on the sofa, smoking. The thick smoke made him look particularly cold.

Andrea was acting again. She held Austin's hand and said, "Austin, Miss Reid seems to have a pretty good relationship with Mr. Granger. I think Mr. Granger is very special to Miss Reid."

Austin glanced at Hendrix, who was smoking, then said to Andrea, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Andrea didn't seem to notice Hendrix's coldness and continued, "I'm not talking nonsense. I saw Mr. Granger's eyes on Miss Reid when we were having dinner, and Miss Reid also looked back at him secretly. think their relationship is different."

I looked at him secretly?

I almost laughed out loud.

"Miss Burton, you were eating so seriously during the meal, and you've observed everyone so carefully. Did you notice how many shrimps

Hendrix peeled for me?" I walked to Hendrix's side.

He looked up at me, and I grabbed the cigarette in his hand. I stubbed it out and threw it into the trash can. Then I looked at him and said, "Quit smoking!" Hendrix smiled and got up to grab hold of my waist. "Alright, I'll listen to you!"

Andrea was stunned, probably not expecting me to show up. After a while, she looked at Austin shamefully and said, "Austin, what I said just now, I didn't mean..." Austin comforted her and said, "It's okay. I know you're just casually talking. It's okay!"

I almost laughed out loud, but I restrained myself. Sometimes, I really could understand why Rowane disliked me when I was affected by this. Because it really looked disgusting.

It was getting late when Hendrix and I walked around the hotel for a while before heading back.

It was a long day and I was sleepy and tired. I took a bath and almost instantly fell asleep.

I heard Hendrix say something to me, but I was too sleepy to hear it clearly. I probably mumbled some sort of incoherent response.

The next day.

It would be National Day soon, so it was impossible to finish the project within the next few days.

But if everything went according to plan, I should be able to get much work done as soon as possible in the next few days.

I didn't see Hendrix in the morning. There was a note on the bedside table when I woke up. "I'm going downtown. I have something to do. Remember to eat on time!"

It must've been still early when he left.

After dressing up, I went straight to the base. Because of the participation of a third party, work efficiency was a bit slow. The third party put a huge emphasis on quality, not speed, so the workers tried their bes to refine all the details of the base.

It was also because of this that the workload had increased.

Wearing a hard hat, Irvin looked around the base and then came straight into the office looking for me.

Since we were all familiar with each other, he did not bother being polite. Instead, ask directly, "Are you in charge of the project?"

I noted his seriousness and nodded. "Yes!"

He frowned slightly and said after a moment of silence, "We may need to talk about some details!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's not a big problem, but if you don't deal with it, we can't continue with the technology here. By the way, the building of your machine base is very strange. Did you built a garage or a storage warehouse underground?"
