My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 203

It had been a long time since I came to the company. I met a few acquaintances in the stairwell and greeted them.

As soon as I stepped out from the stairwell, I saw Chloe in a figure-hugging long dress, and her long hair covered her shoulders. She looked sexy and attractive. Being young in age was such an advantage, as the young ones were always beautiful no matter if they dressed up or not.

It seemed like she was on her way to send some documents. When she saw me, she smiled politely. "Hello, Miss Reid. Are you here for Mr. Roberts?"

I nodded. "It's quite hot today, so I brought everyone some fruit."

She was in a hurry to get into the elevator, so she didn't say much. Eugene, the finance department's director who was standing by my side, asked when Chloe was out of earshot, "Mrs. Roberts, won't you worry that such a young lady is working alongside Mr. Roberts?"

Eugene was in her forties, and she held a high position in Roberts Group, which came with

a high salary. Naturally, she could maintain herself well. Rumors were that her husband worked as a developer, so it could be said that she was in the same social roles as I was —a woman with a wealthy husband.

I chuckled. Looking at the closed elevator door, I blandly replied to her, "What's there to be worried about? She's only in her twenties, and she's good- looking. She has a good family background, and she has a promising future. I don't think she'll risk her future for a married man."

Eugene scoffed, "Those who aren't after money are the worst. At least you can easily get rid of her with enough money if that's all she wanted. Those who don't care about anything but a man's attention are really a handful to deal with."

Everyone could tell that Chloe admired Hendrix. For such an outstanding man like Hendrix, it was normal for people to admire him. That wasn't something I had control over.

I didn't want to continue the conversation with Eugene, I smiled faintly and bid her goodbye, "Well, I'm going to leave you to your work."

Since Hendrix was in a meeting, there was no point for me going to the top floor. So I went straight to Josiah's office as he was always free in the company.

I knocked on the door a few times, but there was no response, so I thought he wasn't in.

Just as I was about to leave, the door flew open.

I was startled to see Josiah in his state. He was wearing a wrinkled shirt, and he looked like he hadn't shaved his beard for a few days. He seemed low-spirited. I walked past him and straight into his office.
