My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 977

"Mr. Roberts, Arianna's been working here while you guys have been in Jarold City. Are you guys planning to be separated from each other?" Unexpectedly, Naomi chose that moment to bring it up.

Hendrix's dark eyes fell on me. Not looking away, he said, "No, wherever she is, that's where I will be too."

"Wow! Is this a show of affection? So sweet!" Naomi said coyly.

Then she noticed Rowane's pale face, "Miss Zanes, you are Mr. Roberts' colleague, you must be used to this by now."

Rowane gave a faint smile, "I usually work in Jarold city and rarely see Miss Reid, so I'm not sure."

Naomi frowned slightly and quipped, "Ah, don't employees call her Mrs. Roberts? Why do you address her as Miss Reid? That's so distant."

"Miss Reid and I rarely see each other, so I didn't have the opportunity to get used to it," Rowane said without any other emotions.

Naomi pursed her lips and sent me a sideways glance. She gave me a look I couldn't decipher so I didn't react to it.

A moment then, she tilted her body, and toppled a glass of water in Rowane's direction. It spilled onto her very expensive dress.

Naomi apologized while she tried to help wipe up the spill. "Miss Zanes, I'm really sorry. Why don't you go to the bathroom to dry yourself?"

Rowane's brows creased in displeasure, the only show of anger she allowed. She was able to control her emotions very well.

Seeing that she was gone, Naomi spoke to me as if Hendrix was not sat right next to me. "Miss Reid, can't you see that this woman has a crush on your man?"

I didn't dare acknowledge the words 'your man'. I peeked at Hendrix and tried to gauge his reaction but his expression didn't change. I couldn't see what he was feeling.

I pursed my lips and tried to play it off "Don't talk nonsense. Miss Zanes is a wonderful woman."
