My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 993

In the conference room, Linda was explaining how the projects will be carried out and what needed to be taken note of. After that, the Roberts team elaborated on the aspects that required our cooperation. As the person in charge of the whole project, I had to take into account all of the safety details, as well as possible issues that could arise during the construction of the project, including potential conflicts with the other party.

After finalizing all the proposal details, the contracts were signed and the date for project commencement was decided on. The person in charge from both companies was asked to be present, to supervise. After we signed the contracts and shook each other's hands. Linda came over and whispered, "Didn't you apply any ointment on your wound?"

I shook my head. "I'll need to buy some later. There's wasn't any ointment in the room."

"You are a girl. You need to protect yourself more. If it leaves a scar, it will be very difficult for you to get rid of it in the future."

I smiled and hugged the contract in my arms,

"Noted. Is the skirt I'm wearing yours? It looks familiar."

She frowned at it in confusion. "Wasn't this what you wore when you came back from Myanway?"

I was struck dumb. It was then that I saw Hendrix and Sebastian looking at me, observing my clothes.

I vaguely recalled what I wore, and I was sure this was different. At that time in Western Europe, Sebastian bought clothing in pretty much the same style for all four of us.

I looked down at my clothes. Although they looked similar, it was in fact not what I wore. Among the four of us, only Naomi's figure was the same as mine.

So, that meant that the dress belonged to Naomi. I studied Sebastian, curious as to why he had Naomi's dress in his possession.

He coughed when he caught my eye, "It's noon. Let's have lunch together!"

He tried to hide his embarrassment. Seemed like he and Naomi were making far more progress than we imagined.

Rowane smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Milton, you're very sweet."

There was a hidden meaning behind her words.

Hendrix's face darkened at her words, his stare burning into me. I knew him well enough to know that he was suppressing his anger.

We walked out of the meeting room together. Linda was a little confused, leaning close and whispering into my ear. "What's going on?"

"This was Naomi's. Not mine." I hissed back. I felt a headache rising up.

She smiled and said, "The two of them are really getting on well, but I'm asking about you and Hendrix. What's going on? Didn't Naomi say that you two are husband and wife? Why is there such a beautiful woman around him?"

I shrugged, "It's complicated for now but it won't be for long. Once this project is settled, I will go to Ucrebury with him and finalize the divorce."

She was speechless for a moment.

"Oh no!" A voice cried out suddenly. It was Rowane.

She seemed to have hurt her ankle again. She limped to the elevator.

Hearing the noise, those in the front looked back and asked, "What happened?"

Rowane looked pitiful. She said, "I'm really sorry. I sprained my ankle yesterday, so I can't walk very steadily. I think I twisted it again just now, and it hurts a little."

Seeing this, Linda snorted in derision. "Just wait, she's going to ask for someone to carry her next."

Confused I asked, "But she sprained her ankle?"

Linda scoffed, "It's because she sprained her ankle that there's a chance for her to get special treatment. Watch."

Hendrix frowned slightly then looked at Evan and said, "Go help Miss Zanes."
