Chapter 204

They looked good together.

"Those who don't care about anything are the worst."

All of a sudden, Eugene's words came across my mind. I frowned, realizing that Chloe was completely

different from Andrea.

I started to imagine what would happen if Hendrix had fallen in love with Chloe someday in the future.

I knew I was worrying too much, and my head started to ache from overthinking. I pinched my nose

and walked straight to Hendrix.

Chloe only smiled politely at me and went out without Hendrix asking after she saw me.

Hendrix stopped what he was doing and pulled me to sit down beside him. "Where were you just now?"

"I went to visit Doctor Saunders," Hendrix's office was huge, and Chloe's desk was just right at the

corner outside. She only needed to raise her head to take a look at Hendrix from her seat.

It was a really convenient position for her.

"What are you thinking about?" Hendrix held

my hands.

I pulled my gaze away from Chloe's desk and looked at his laptop instead. I leaned my head against

his chest and said, "I'm imagining a story of a coy secretary and an overbearing director."

He burst out laughing. "So, how does the story go?"

I raised my hand and pointed at the office area outside his office. Raising my eyebrows, I asked, "Can

you see that? The coy secretary."

His smile grew wider. "And I'm the overbearing director?"

Nodding, I got up and went to sit on the sofa. "A handsome wealthy man, and a young beautiful

woman-it's such a perfect match."novelbin

After distributing the fruits to departments, Evan returned to the top floor. He knocked on the door a few

times, and Hendrix was still wearing a smile as he called out, "Come in!"

"Mr. Roberts, this is the latest information we got for Fantasia Company. They seem to have drawn up

an acquisition agreement with the Andar Technology, and they're going to sign it next week." Evan

placed the document in front of Hendrix and gave him a brief oral report.

Hendrix nodded, and he cast a strange look at Evan. Evan was puzzled and asked, "Mr. Roberts,

what's the matter?"

"Did you arrange for her to sit there?" Hendrix asked, gesturing toward the office area outside of his

room.

Evan looked in that direction, still confused. "Are you not satisfied with Chloe's seating, Mr. Roberts?"

Hendrix raised his eyebrows in silence.

I had been watching from the side. Sowhen Evan turned his gaze at me, I shrugged. "It has nothing to

do with me!"

Hendrix smiled and ordered, "You take over her task, and transfer her to Austin's. Next time don't get

me any female secretary anymore."

"But-" Evan still wanted to say something.

However, Hendrix cut him short. "Make a reservation at a restaurant nearby us."

It was obvious that Hendrix wanted Evan to shut up, and of course, after working under Hendrix for so

long, Even could read Hendrix's mind. Evan used only a few moments to recollect himself, and then he

nodded and left the room.

Hendrix waited until Evan had left before he looked at me and asked, "Are there more to the story you

told me?"

I leaned on the couch, feeling a little bored. "No more coy secretary. But there is a docile princess."

He rubbed his forehead and looked somewhat speechless. He then tidied up the rest of the documents

on the desk and came to me. "But you knew that Andrea had gone to Jarold City."

I nodded, "I know."

In the afternoon.

The summer sun in Ucrebury was scorching, making people more restless and irritable. It was almost

empty on the street, and it was the same in the restaurant too.

Hendrix ordered for us, and he scowled when he saw my spiritless expression. "Do you feel sick?"

I nodded. "It's too hot!"

Then, I thought of something, and I narrowed my eyes at him, grinning. I asked very nicely, "Hendrix.

Since it's so hot, can I have something cold?"
