My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) -
Chapter 1580
Freya's reminder made me feel extremely uneasy throughout the day. Although I knew Hendrix would not make a blind decision, I was still on tenterhooks.
After dinner, I tucked Anne in for bed. Then, after making sure she was asleep, I went straight to Hendrix's company.
Of course, I didn't forget that I was Hendrix's wife. Just like the day before, I brought him dinner, but I was very nervous all the way.
Although I had participated in the management of the Roberts Group, I had almost no right to speak when it came to the company's development. I didn't know how he would react if I were to criticize Hendrix's plans just because of Freya's words.
The entire Jarold City had started working, and there were many people coming in and out at the lobby of the office building. Most of them were employees of the building. After some conventional greetings, they immediately got into the formal topic. All of them were smiling because of the festive vibes.
All the lights in Roberts Group's office area were on, and many employees were working overtime, but not many of them noticed my arrival.
One of the staff who recognized me was about to greet me when I raised my index finger to my lips and made a silent gesture, indicating that they should ignore me. I headed straight to Hendrix's office. Unfortunately, when I walked to the door, I heard Hendrix reprimanding his staff, "It's only been a day, and we've only resumed work for around ten hours. Who can tell me what's going on?"
No one dared to respond, or maybe Hendrix was talking on the phone.
I looked up at the office area and found that the sound attracted all the staff's attention. I smiled and entered the room. I kept smiling until the door was closed.
I turned around and saw what was going on in the room.
Two young employees in white shirts and ties stood in front of the desk, their heads lowered, looking wretched. It was not too much to say that they were berated and embarrassed.
Hendrix pressed against the table with his back facing them. He heaved a deep sigh and seemed to be quite infuriated.
I closed the door very lightly, so he didn't know that I had arrived. After falling into silence for more than ten seconds, he suppressed his anger and once again said, "Carry out an emergency rescue. In addition, contact their family at once and block all the news from the media."
"Understood, Mr. Roberts!" The two employees replied in unison.
As soon as they finished speaking, Hendrix suddenly picked up the pen on the table and threw it at them, "Hurry up!"
Obviously, he didn't really mean to throw it at them. His aim was off and hit the water dispenser in the corner instead.
It was the first time I saw Hendrix losing his temper, and I was shocked. The two young staff didn't dare make another sound and immediately left the room.
Hendrix stared at the door, and only then did he notice my presence. He held back his anger and calmed down. "When did you come?"
"Just arrived." The corners of my lips curled up into a smile, and I lifted the lunch box in my hand. "I've brought Mr. Roberts his dinner." After that, I walked over and set the lunch box down on the tea table.
Hendrix took a deep breath and sat beside me. He opened his arms to embrace me and said in a gentle voice, "Thank you, darling." "It's nothing." I patted him on the arm. "Eat while it's warm. The weather is cold. If you don't eat soon, it will become cold in no time." Hendrix let go of me and reached for his cutlery.
Minnie was familiar with his appetite and cooked all his favorite food. Hendrix ate quickly, but he was still frowning and seemed to be absentminded.
