Female Novel
Chapter 1097
Naomi stopped the car, got out and ran right towards Ziglar. She hugged him and said, "Grandpa,didn't I ask you to wait inside? It's not like I couldn't find my way here. It's chilly at night. What if youcatch a cold?"
Ziglar was grinning so hard that he couldn't even close his mouth properly. He held her and said,"My child, you told me that you would come in the morning. What time is it now?"
Naomi pouted as she replied, "I was too sleepy this morning! By the way, I brought my friend over.Let me introduce her to you!"
While speaking, Naomi pulled me over and looked at Ziglar. She said, "Grandpa, this is my friend,Arianna Reid."
Ziglar smiled and looked at me before saying, "I've seen this girl before. I met her in the hotelrestaurant that day. Is she working for the Milton Group?"
I nodded and smiled, "Nice to meet you, Master Attwood!"
He kept nodding his head, "Nice to meet you!"
After exchanging greetings, Ziglar ordered some people to prepare dinner, and he then invited usinto the villa. There weren't many people in the villa, only two maids and a butler to take care of theold man.
The dishes in the kitchen seemed to have been readily prepared a long time ago, as they hadalready been placed on the table. When the maid saw us enter, she smiled and said, "The food hasbeen heated up already!"novelbin
Ziglar nodded and said, "You should prepare a warm glass of tea for Naomi."
Then, he looked at me and said, "What would you like to drink, Miss Reid?"
I smiled lightly, "Anything's fine. I'm not picky with food, Master Attwood."
He smiled and said, "Do you want to try the tea that Naomi likes as well, then?"
I nodded and thanked him, "Sure, thank you, Master Attwood!"
There was the sound of an engine from outside, as if a car had stopped in front of the house.
Before Naomi could take a bite, she looked at Ziglar and said, "Grandpa, did you invite someoneelse over as well?"
Ziglar was slightly stunned and shook his head. He replied, "No, I'm already such an old man. Whowould come to visit me so late at night?"
The butler came in and said, "Mr. Attwood, there is a Mr. Roberts outside who is here to pay you avisit."
Naomi clicked her tongue and tilted her head to look at me, asking, "Is it Hendrix?"
A little confused, I shook my head and said, "He should be quite busy now. I don't think it's him!"
Even then, I wasn't confident about that either. Austin and Andrea had come to Asherton, and hewould probably be accompanying them around the city. He wouldn't come over just to accompanyme for dinner, would he?
Ziglar smiled and said to the butler, "He's just in time. We just sat down for dinner. Let him in!"
The butler nodded. Not long after he left, he entered the room again.
The man following behind him was tall and handsome. As expected, Hendrix had come.
Naomi couldn't help but laugh, "Mr. Roberts, are you afraid that I'll abduct your wife? Am I notallowed to bring her out for some fun? You can't be that paranoid, can you?"
Hendrix first greeted Ziglar, then looked at Naomi and said with a smile as he replied, "Ariannadoesn't sleep well and is prone to insomnia. You guys should have fun. I won't disturb you all!""Have a seat!" Ziglar took the chair next to himself and asked Hendrix to sit down. He looked at
Naomi and scolded her, "Don't be so rude."
Hendrix smiled and said, "I'm the one who showed up without an invitation. Sorry to have disturbedyou all."
Hearing Naomi's words, Ziglar looked at Hendrix and said, "Naomi said that you are here to seeyour wife. Isn't your wife Miss Zanes? Why are you..."
"Grandpa, you've gotten the wrong idea!" Naomi said. She continued, "Who's Miss Zanes? She isnothing but an imposter. Master Roberts's granddaughter-in-law is here!"
