My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 146

No matter how dull she could be, Andrea could still perceive that Hendrix wanted her to leave.

Aware of Hendrix's expression, Austin looked at Andrea and said, "Andrea, come on, I'll send you back.'¹

"No!" Andrea yelled with reddened eyes. She looked at Hendrix and complained, "Why should I go?" Then, she pointed at me and said angrily, "What do you even see in her? She's just a country bumpkin brought up in poverty! If it weren't for Master Roberts, she wouldn't even-"

"Andrea!" Hendrix snapped, "Go back with Austin!"

"I don't want to!" Andrea sounded determined as she looked at Hendrix, "Hendrix, are you blaming me? I shouldn't have raised my voice at you and started a fight when you were driving."

Up to that point, she was already sobbing, "Hendrix, I know I was wrong. Don't be mad at me. I promise I'll never do this again in the future. I promise I'll listen to everything you say. Please don't tell me to leave!"

No one would have a distinct bottom line when it came to love. Andrea had proven that once again with her compromise at that moment. She looked desperate and awful right then.

I wouldn't say that I was a decent person, let alone a saint. But I wanted to say something to get me out of that scene, yet nothing came out from my mouth.

I just left the ward in silence.

I went straight to the company. Perhaps it was due to the conversation we had before, Kelsey was on leave that day, and her absence had increased my workload.

Advancer Tech's project had already been launched for a while. All those while, Kelsey was in charge of it on my behalf, so I wasn't familiar with it.

After what had happened with Alford Audit and Kelsey, I felt uneasy, so I went to the finance department and checked on Advancer Tech's recent performances.

Indeed, it was slightly different from what Kelsey had reported to me. After thinking about it, I decided to look into it on my own.

Nothing serious was wrong with Advancer Tech, but the problem laid within the middlemen. Plus, Austin was in charge of Advancer Tech before, so I got a lot of stupid answers when I asked around.
