My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 54

With my clarification, the topic of the auditing ended. Troy could only smile and reply elegantly, "Yes.

Alford Audit also looks forward to cooperating with Roberts Group."

After we had finished eating, I saw Troy off. Kelsey followed behind me and inquired, "Miss Reid, isn't

Mr. Roberts planning to hand this year's auditing over to Brilliant Audit? Why do you want to do

bidding?"

"If we don't do the bidding, Roberts Group will not only offend Alford Audit but also other auditing

companies. Alford Audit is an experienced company. They have been cooperating with Roberts Group

for all these years. If the cooperation suddenly ends, do you think they won't create trouble using our

company's previous auditing results?"

On the other hand, I wanted to meet Troy to see if he had anything to do with the incident the night

before. However, when I saw Troy's expression earlier when I had explained the bidding to him, he

didn't seem open to that idea. Hence, last night's incident might have nothing to do with him.

Nevertheless, I couldn't absolutely deny the possibility. I could only observe slowly for now.

Kelsey nodded. She furrowed her brows slightly and then asked again, "Then, why didn't Mr.

Roberts..."

"Why didn't he say it in advance?" I interrupted her and cast my gaze at her. I proceeded to explain,

"Hendrix doesn't only need to manage me alone, he needs to manage the whole of Roberts Group too.

If he has to explain each task in detail, what's the point of employing so many people? It would be

better to do everything by himself."

"But you're his wife!"

Feeling amused, I looked at her and continued, "It's true that I'm his wife. Regardless of whether he's

content with me, he's still the CEO of Roberts Group. I'm the director and his subordinate in the Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

company. If I'm foolish enough to have him point everything out to me, he might as well send me home

and make me a housewife. Wouldn't that be easier?"

There was no such thing in this world as being naturally smart. One would always need to grit their

teeth and go through hardships in order to accumulate experience.

Back in my office, Kelsey made an appointment with Sawyer, the director of Brilliant Audit, to have

dinner later that night. As for what had transpired the night before, I didn't say anything and kept

everything to myself.

Fortunately, the company was large, and I didn't need to bump into Hendrix unless there were reports I

had to send him. I didn't think about how he would deal with the affairs between us. The only thing I

could do now was to carry out my responsibilities well.

After a busy day, it was finally time to get off work. Kelsey carried her bag into the office to check on

me, "Miss Reid, you and Mr. Clark from Brilliant Audit are having dinner tonight. Do you need me to tag

along?"

I was in a daze for a moment and suddenly remembered that we had an appointment. Kelsey's

expression screamed she had something to do, so I shook my head and replied, "No, just give me the

address. I'll go there by myself later."

She smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Reid. I have already sent the address to your number."

I nodded and peered at her, my hand under my chin as I mused, "Are you in love?" Kelsey was not

young anymore. She had been working with me for two years and never seemed like someone who

was interested in love. Recently, she'd been looking quite blissful and madly in love.

"No! It's just that I have a date with an old classmate tonight. He said that we should gather for a bit,

so..." Her blush on her cheeks gave her out.

I nodded and didn't say anything else, motioning for her to leave.

Indeed, emotions like love couldn't be easily hidden. One may conceal it and refrain from talking about

it, but their body language, especially the gaze in their eyes, would give them out immediately.

I tidied up my desk and drove directly to the address Kelsey had sent me. I had assumed that the

director would be a middle-aged man.

However, when I saw Sawyer in person, I was stunned for a moment. I didn't expect that he would look

like a youngster in his early twenties.

"Arianna Reid?¹' Seeing me, Sawyer stood up from his seat. He looked at me and raised his eyebrows.

I smiled faintly in return. "Mr. Clark?"
