Those words would've sounded normal if they came from anyone but Hendrix, someone who was widely known to be unfriendly.
Everyone took note of his words and it was as though love was in the air. People looked at one another, not bothering to conceal their interest. Especially those who did not know my history with the Roberts Group.
I saw their imaginations running wild, their assumption that Hendrix and Rowane were a couple clear on their faces.
Rowane was also stunned for a moment. Then, a red blush rose on her fair cheeks and flawless face. That shade of red made her even more goodlooking and charming.
Sebastian glanced at me briefly before he carried on his discussion of the project with Hendrix.
Lancille Village was a tourist project developed by the Milton Group. The main attraction there was its display of valuable antiques. By bringing in Roberts Group's expertise on artificial intelligence, they intended to develop a peach tree forest to attract even more tourists.
This joint project would serve to promote the Al tech that Roberts Group had been working on. Additional plans included a huge Al- based technology museum built in Lancille Village to promote the gallery.
While the bosses dominated the discussion, the rest of us sat and listened attentively to them.
Not many employees came with Hendrix. Accompanying Rowane, Hendrix and Evan, were two other employees. I guessed that they represented Asherton's interests.
It wasn't my first time pouring tea for guests, but little did I expect myself to trip when I passed by Rowane. I fell onto the ground and made a mess.
I hissed in pain. The water in the kettle was hot and it had spilled all over me. Linda helped me up. She looked at me worriedly, "Come, let's clean this up in the washroom."
