My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1205

I contemplated what he said, slightly stunned. Then I looked at Evan and asked, "Evan, is the financial compensation for accidental death and suicide the same?"

Evan shook his head and replied, "It's different. If it's an accident, the company has to pay a large amount in compensation. Even the entire company's security system needs to undergo scrutiny and upgrade. If it's a suicide, then the company only has to pay a small amount of money as a compassionate compensation."

I nodded. I roughly understood the reason why the elderly couple was creating a ruckus here. What a company always feared were accidents. The couple was creating a huge ruckus now because they were hoping that before Sonia's death was ruled an accident or a suicide, Hendrix would compensate them in order to make them leave and not affect the company.

However, Hendrix didn't show up at all even after they had been kicking up a fuss for so long. It seemed that Hendrix was going to wait for the police report to come out before he dealt with it.

I cast a glance at the middle-aged couple, whose faces were streaked with tears, their voices were hoarse from all the crying. They looked old and frail after staying up the whole night.

Seeing the pale face of the child beside them, I looked at Evan and said, "Evan, could you please ask someone to buy breakfast and snacks for them later?"

Evan frowned and asked, "They are here to make trouble. Why are you buying food for them?"

Looking at the child, I said lightly, "I find them pitiful. Sorry to trouble you."

Although he did not understand, he still nodded and said, "Okay, I will."

Hendrix was still looking through the documents when I walked into his office. I couldn't help but put the breakfast I'd packed in front of him and took away the pen and documents in his hand. Then, I pretended to be angry and said, "I know you're a workaholic, but you've been working all night. You can't go on like this. Eat your breakfast first, and then sleep for a while."

A faint smile broke out on his tired face when he saw me. He stretched out his hand and pulled me to sit on his lap. Then, he took a deep breath and said, "Why did you come so early? You didn't sleep much last night?"

Looking at the stubble on his chin, I felt a little distressed and said, "You still dare turn this on me. Look at yourself now. Well, stop talking. Eat your breakfast and go to sleep!"

While speaking, I got up, then opened the breakfast I brought with me and made him eat.

He ate it quietly and asked me to sleep with him. Although I didn't want to sleep, he looked at me seriously and said, "I can't sleep without you by my side."

Helplessly, I had no choice but to lie beside him, leaning against his chest, and closed my eyes.

Soon, I heard his even breath. He must have been really tired, since he didn't sleep a wink last night.

A voice came from the office, and it sounded like Evan. Hendrix was still sleeping soundly, so I got out of bed quietly and went out of the lounge. Evan was walking back and forth frantically. It seemed that there was some trouble.

When he saw me walking out of the lounge, he asked, "Mrs. Roberts, is Mr. Roberts taking a rest?"

I nodded, "What happened?"

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sonia's family is making even more of a fuss down there. They have gotten more people to join them, and they're crying and creating a huge ruckus downstairs. The hall has become a little chaotic, and it is affecting our work."
