My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 2282

"That's Aaron's ability, messing this all up. All we can do is try to gain something during this opportunity."

It would be great if Hendrix could be indecent once in a while. Alas, his cold and emotionless face was too out of place. Besides, he received a great deal more attention than Aaron. To be honest, if we had taken action, we would have been tortured by Jordan.

"That's true." Freya expressed her approval. "This time, we might have to go with an unconventional plan in order to have a way out."

I did not reply. I reached out and patted her on the arm. "Let's go. It'll be over if we are late."

When I entered the private room, the people inside had already taken their seats. Aaron and Emma were sitting at the side of the door, and Hendrix was opposite them. Jordan and Naomi were sitting on his left, and the seats on the right were still empty. Therefore, Freya and I walked there and sat down.

The atmosphere in the room was quiet, and no one spoke until the dishes were served.

Freya gestured under the table, indicating that the situation was too tense. I felt that it was normal.

There was always peace before a storm.

Finally, the exquisite dishes were arranged on the table. The waiters were very sensible, and retreated right after that.

Although the table was adorned with dishes of all colors and flavor, no one's attention was focused on it. It was just as a backdrop for the real show.

I gazed in Jordan's direction, trying to discern his intentions. Nevertheless, he didn't seem to have the intention of controlling the situation. Instead, he picked up his cutlery calmly and ate in a civilized manner. It was only when Naomi picked up some food for him that he showed signs of impatience.

It seemed that Jordan had a slight mysophobia, just like Hendrix.

One million to sell the shares of a major shareholder of a global public company?

Since when did Aaron think of Hendrix so highly?

"I don't have time to joke with you." Hendrix's reaction was the same as that of the others present. There was a trace of impatience in him.

His thick eyebrows were slightly knitted, and his expression clearly showed that he was irritated by Aaron but could not do anything about him.

Aaron was usually immodest when he should be, and even more so when he shouldn't be. At this time, he was behaving very normally.

"Who says I'm joking? It's just a million. If you agreed on it, then so be it. If you don't, then I'll leave with my wife right now. Do you think I really want to eat this meal with you?" Aaron's face darkened as if he was indeed serious.
