My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 1606

Rowane didn't respond for a long time, but I knew that she was a smart person. Rowane's silence proved that she was convinced by my words.

The friends around me were a huge influence, and I had been influenced by Freya. I became more decisive. Therefore, I continued to say, "Miss Zanes, all of us believe in you, and in your department's abilities as well. But business will always be business. Regardless of his trust in you and your team, as the leader of a company, Hendrix must take care of not only your team, but also every other employee of that company. If your team shows no progress, we'll eventually have to shift to the other plan and not continue to lose any more money. Let's see how well you can do your job then, Miss Zanes."

I hung up the phone after I finished speaking.

In fact, when I thought about it, having a boss like Hendrix could be quite a bummer sometimes. He always looked at the results only. He never cared about the effort and process. If the team could not reach Hendrix's targeted goal, Hendrix would give up on them.

Rowane was a talent, but it did not mean that she was the only Al expert in the world. On the contrary, only Roberts Group could give her the respect and status she enjoyed right then. I believed that Rowane would know how to act in the future.

Since the acquisition of Eisen Company had begun, Roberts Group increased their shares of the company by five per cent through the transfer of shares. At the same time, with the interference of Denmiles' government, an old air-conditioner company from the country expressed their intention to acquire Eisen Company. Since then, Roberts Group and the other company had been competing, but the other company was at an advantage due to the distance and government policy.

In order to complete the acquisition, Hendrix and Evan went to Denmiles to negotiate in person.

On the third day, the official Twitter page of Denmiles released a piece of news, saying that the old air-conditioner company and Eisen Company had reached an agreement and were about to sign the contract. Hendrix called me on the phone in the afternoon, and he sounded a little tired.

"Is it not going well?" I asked him.

"A little," Hendrix said with a deep sigh. He continued, "I'm already operating another plan. If I succeed, we might still stand a chance."

"What's the plan?" I prompted.

"You'll know later. It's not the right time yet," he said. Hendrix changed the subject. "How do you feel these days? Do you have any symptoms of pregnancy?"

Perhaps because there was too much negative news about the company recently, he needed some good news to offset his bad mood. I paused for a moment before saying apologetically, "Nothing yet. My appetite is still good. Everything is normal."

"Fine," Hendrix said casually, pretending not to be bothered by it. He added, "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat and sleep without me. Now it seems that I've been worrying too much." "That's right, Mr. Roberts. You think too highly of yourself," I retorted. I didn't give in even a little.

My arrogant attitude had somehow provoked Hendrix, causing him to chuckle.

It was good that he could laugh. It meant that the situation was not too bad. Almost ten billion was used to acquire the Eisen Company. If Hendrix failed to acquire it, in the future, Roberts Group would face financing problems when starting other large-scale projects.

Hendrix continued, "It'll only be less than a week's time before I return. Take care of yourself at home before that. The child should be prioritized. Do you understand?"

Dr. Jules had already reminded me thousands of times. How could I have forgotten? I replied, "Yes, yes, I get it. You should be more worried about yourself. There are so many beautiful women in Denmiles. Did you find any of them attractive? Are you planning to bring anyone back?"

Hendrix snorted and immediately laughed on the phone. He laughed and teased, "Arianna, are you jealous?"

I scoffed. "You're overthinking. I'm interested in all the beautiful women, not you. I'm hanging up!"
