Female Novel
Chapter 1379
I knew I should never resort to buying organs from the black market. However, my child was in alife-and-death situation, so of course, my perspective was different.
When a parent had an ill child, they would do anything for them. After all, a parent's love wasunconditional, and outsiders would not care the same.
When I arrived at the Roberts Group’s office, I headed straight for the elevator alongside a few staffmembers. They were sneaking glances at me. I frowned and wondered if there was somethingamiss about my look. But I checked and I looked fine.
I furrowed my brows in irritation. Nobody enjoyed being stared at. I looked at them and asked,"Which department are you all from?"
They were taken aback since I spoke so abruptly. "The marketing department," they said.
I nodded and remained quiet. They fell silent too.
Not long after that, they asked, "Mrs. Roberts, are you on your way to meet Mr. Roberts?"
I nodded. "Yes, I'm taking up some food for him," I flashed a smile.
They nodded and smiled in return. "Mr. Roberts is indeed a blessed man,” one of the employeessaid. "Come to think of it, the secretary, Miss Zanes, would prepare some snacks for him most ofthe time..."
One of the colleagues nudged her. So, the girl who was speaking cracked an awkward smile andremained quiet thereafter.
I kept a smile on my face, not showing any other reaction. I merely replied, "That's very kind of her."
The few of them merely smiled, and remained silent.
I walked out of the elevator as soon as it opened. Immediately, my smile faded. At times, it was noteasy keeping up a pretense.
I could hear high-heels walking on the corridor. I raised my head. It was Rowane, holding adocument. As she saw me, she directed her gaze at the food on my hands. "You’re sending food toMr. Roberts, aren't you?" she said.
I nodded. There was nothing in common between us, so I did not have anything to chat with her.She looked at me, and after a brief pause, she said, "You must have been busy lately."
"Yes," I replied. It seemed that she had something to tell me.
Sure enough, she spoke after a brief pause. "No matter how busy you are, be sure to spend timewith your family. You have to be cautious at certain things, you know."
I looked at her. I was not as angry as I thought I would be. "If there's anything you want to tell me,please be frank...You don't have to beat around the bush."
She shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Well, it's not that I'm beating around the bush. It's just, I'munsure how true it is. It's merely hearsay, and I may be just overthinking..."novelbin
She held the document and said, "Anyway, I've got to go attend to something. Talk to you soon."
I pursed my lips as she walked away. Being an adult meant a busy life, and always something toworry about...
I made my way to Hendrix's office. Fortunately, the door was open. As I carried the food, I stood bythe door and hesitated for a moment before walking in.
As soon as I raised my hand, I heard somebody talking. "Mr. Roberts, after you're done with thedocuments, I'll send them over." It was Estella there.
"Ok," Hendrix replied indifferently.
It seemed that he was still occupied with work. I did not hurry to enter his room. Instead, I went tothe office lounge and played some games on my phone while I waited.
