My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 80

Fortunately, I had gotten up early and managed to reach the company on time. As soon as I stepped into the elevator, I met Austin. Lady Fate really had her way of bringing people who hated each other together.

"Good morning, Director Reid!" Austin said ambiguously, "What's wrong? The thunderstorm was pretty terrible last night, I take it that Hendrix was not there to accompany you?"

Spitefully, he added, "You're right. Andrea is afraid of thunder. Every time the thunder strikes, Hendrix would accompany her. The storm last night was so bad that she would have been frightened within an inch of her life. That was why Hendrix wouldn't let her sleep alone."

I looked down at the pearls adorning my shoes and choked back a laugh. So, it seemed that Hendrix had stopped what he was doing last night because he was worried about Andrea!

That's right. For someone as timid as her, given the situation last night, she wouldn't have been able to sleep at all if she were to be left alone.

I refrained from criticizing Austin because he had a point.

In fact, the unloved one was me. In a love triangle, it is said that the legitimate couple is the pair who loved each other, and the left is the extra one.

"Hey!" Austin nudged me with his elbow and looked

at me. "Why are you in a daze? Are you even listening to me?"

As I glanced sideways at him, I calmed down. Staring directly at him, I replied, "I heard you loud and clear. They are a match made in heaven!"

As soon as the elevator doors opened, I got off.

I heard Austin's stern voice from behind. "Arianna, are you out of your mind?"

As I entered the office, Kelsey was waiting for me with a stack of documents. When she saw me, she lay them before me and said, "Miss Reid, all of these documents need to be signed. Do sign them quickly as Brilliant Audit has begun their work. They should be finishing the audit for the Ucrebury accounts in two days. After that, they will be moving on to other provinces. As for Shelley Group, auditing has not begun yet but the people from Alford Audit will arrive today."
