Female Novel
Chapter 100
"Slept together?” Hendrix raised his eyebrows.
I didn't react at first, but I soon understood what he meant. My face turned pale. "No!"
"Huh!" Hendrix sneered. He glared at me, his gentle self more distant now. "Arianna, do you think I'll
actually believe what you said?"
"Hendrix, at least, I deserve the chance to explain, right?" The headline was published for a while now,
but Sawyer and I didn't do anything to handle it and things were blown out of proportion.
Hendrix didn't seem to have any patience. He rubbed his eyes and said, "Director Reid, speaking to
your boss about your personal affairs isn't why Roberts Group is paying you a high salary."
"Hendrix..."
"Director Reid, you should know better than me when and where is the right place to do certain things,
right?" He raised his eyes and asked. There was obviously anger in his voice.
I was about to say something before Evan suddenly appeared out of nowhere. "Director Reid, Mr.
Roberts has a lot of matters to attend to."novelbin
Obviously, it was another way of asking me to leave.
I looked at Hendrix and noticed his reaction. It was obvious that he didn't wish to speak any further with
me.
Ignoring Evan, I looked at Hendrix and said, "In that
case, when are you free then, Mr. Roberts? We will have a discussion then."
Hendrix didn't speak and his face turned gloomier.
It was then when Evan said, "Director Reid, if there's nothing else, please return to your office!"
There was nothing I could do about it. I walked out of the office and ran into Josiah, who had just exited
the lift.
He was carrying a load on his hands. When he noticed me exiting from Hendrix's office, he said, "Have
you quarreled?"
I nodded. It could be considered one, after all!
Hendrix's temper had always been unpredictable. Despite knowing him for several years, I had no clue
what was on his mind this time.
"These are your medicines. Remember to take them when you get home." Josiah handed the bag over
to me. He looked at Hendrix's office and said, "I've heard about the headlines. I hope you get to explain
it well to Hendrix."
Then, we parted ways to return to our offices.
The day was mostly a blur. When I finally got out of the office, I went to the car park and waited for
Hendrix.
I found his black Jeep and stood there. It was my problem and I had to explain everything to him.
When the car park was nearly empty, I realized that I'd waited for almost an hour. Not seeing any signs
of Hendrix, I thought that he'd stayed back late in the office.
What I didn't expect was that the person who would come to the black Jeep was Evan.
He was shocked when he saw me, but he still maintained his usual polite demeanor. "Director Reid,
are you..."
"Where is Hendrix?" I went straight to the point.
"He just left with Mr. Shelley." Evan said and took out the car keys from his briefcase.
I didn't know what to say.
In the end, I simply smiled at him and said, "I have to go now."
Hendrix was certainly not making it easy.
I drove back to the villa in a hurry and immediately spammed the doorbell when I arrived. When the
door was opened, I saw Minnie greet me with a wide grin on her face, "You're back!"
I walked past her to see an arrogant man flipping through the newspaper in the main hall.
After changing into another pair of shoes, Minnie had resumed her busy routine. I sat beside Hendrix
and waited quietly for him to finish his newspaper.
It was after a while before Hendrix finally put down his papers. I pushed a glass of fruit juice prepared
by Minnie near him and said, "Hendrix, can we talk now?"
He merely glanced at the glass and did not do anything else. "Do you wish to talk to me as a colleague
or as someone else?"
