My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 129

I gestured to the phone in my hand and said, "I'm here to get the phone."

"There's no need for that if you're sleeping," he said.

"You're right," I replied.

Then I got back to the lounge, a little absent-minded.

Fortunately, pregnant women tended to get sleepy. After staring blankly at the ceiling for a while, I fell asleep.

It was already afternoon when I woke up, and I heard someone quarreling in the office. I got off the bed and felt a little dizzy. It might be because I had slept in for too long.

When I pushed open the door, Hendrix and Austin were in a face- off. I didn't know what they were arguing about, but they stopped once they spotted me.

Hendrix threw a stack of documents at Austin and said coldly, "Don't mess with your own stuff, I hope you won't make the same mistake again."

Austin picked up the documents and glared at me gloomily. Then he left the room without saying a word.

I was dumbfounded. Did I show up at the wrong time?

"What are you doing standing there?" Hendrix asked. He leaned back on his chair and stretched out his arm lazily towards me, and said, "Come here."

I walked up to him, sat on his lap, and complained, "I'm not feeling well. I think I've slept for too long."

He tucked some loose hair to the back of my ear, then pressed his cheek to my neck and said, "It's okay, let's go for a walk later. What do you want for dinner?"

"I'm not hungry yet," I looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was already three in the afternoon. I had been sleeping for almost four hours. No wonder I felt uncomfortable.

He put a glass of water into my hand and asked, "Mr. Hammer just called and invited us for dinner tonight. Do you want to go?"

I paused upon his words and drank a mouthful of water before putting the glass back on the desk, then I asked, "Did you say yes?"

His eyes were dark and deep. He nodded slightly and said, "Yes. I wanted to treat you to something nice."

That was, in fact, a great excuse.
