My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 28

He was blind drunk...

"Fine, stay under the sun then!" I truly had no strength left to continue arguing with him there. Every inch of my body ached, therefore I decided to immediately head into the mansion.

After entering the bedroom, I laid down and took a short nap. However, after realizing that I heard nothing from the courtyard, I got worried that he might actually wander off in the middle of the night. It would be bad if anything was to happen to him out there!

I struggled out of bed and headed downstairs. To my surprise, he was fast asleep on the couch. I was unsure exactly when he entered the mansion.

"Alright, I can finally get some sleep," I thought to myself.

After such a long night, I slept like a log and it was already noon by the time I woke up.

Since I had a meeting with Mr. Hammer, I got out of bed and hurriedly freshened up before rushing out of the house. By the time I arrived at the company, Mr. Hammer was already waiting for me in the office.

He cracked a very apologetic smile when he noticed me. He said, "I'm really sorry, Miss Reid, for delaying your work!"

Since I was rushing my way here, after composing myself, I had Kelsey pour a glass of water for him before signing the finalized work agreement and transfer contract.

Mr. Hammer said after everything was done, "Miss. Reid, it's noon now, I believe you haven't had anything to eat, right? Why don't you join us for lunch? My wife has been meaning to thank you for a while now. I'm not sure if you have time to spare?"

Although I actually had nothing to do, I noticed Kelsey staring at me and she seemed to have something to say to me. Thus, I chuckled and said, "Mr. Hammer, you're too kind. The truth is, I should be the one thanking you. Why don't we reschedule to a different time where we're all free? I still have some matters to attend to and I'm unable to excuse myself today!"

Mr. Hammer did not persist and left after some small talk.

I glanced toward Kelsey and she said, "Director, Mr. Roberts wants you to go to his office immediately!"

Go to his office?
