My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 165

"I'm getting married soon, and my fiancée wants me to stay at home to take care of the family," She sounded regretful. I could hear that she didn't want to resign either.

"But you don't have children yet, right? You can still work after getting married. Besides, you might not get used to staying at home," I said.

Dalton also wanted the same thing back then. He wanted me to stay at home, and I knew he probably didn't want me to be overwhelmed by my job. But if I stayed home, with all those free time I could have had, I would never be able to tolerate whatever went on between Hendrix and Andrea.

Kelsey nodded with a light smile on her face, "Director, I'm grateful for the time we spent together. But I'm sorry. I made this decision on my own."

There was nothing left for me to persuade if she said so.

I nodded, "Well then, you can email the resignation letter to me when you have time. Also, you'll need to start to hand over your work to another colleague."

Kelsey stood up and bowed to thank me sincerely before she headed out of the office. But when she was just a few steps away from the door, she stopped and turned around to look at me. She said, "Director, the problem with the Roberts Group's audit and Advancer Tech is not as simple as it looks."

Before I could ask any further, she had already left my office.

I had been forgetful recently, and I also had been struggling to keep my mind clear. I knew that something was going on between those two, but I just couldn't figure things out in such a short time frame.

Hendrix didn't want to talk about work with me at home either, so I had to put those things off.

At lunchtime, Hendrix called me to his office.

I knew he would want me to have lunch with him.

I wasn't sure if he planned that, but the wall paint in Hendrix's office had been changed to a warmer color. The plants at the door had also been replaced by orchids.

There were more plants decorated in the lobby too.

Evan was about to head out when he saw me walking towards Hendrix's office. He was surprised, but he quickly came back to his senses, "Mr. Roberts is in his office. Miss Reid, you may go on directly."
