My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 130

"A technology company in Asherton is preparing to buy them over. The management team of Fantasia Company has been discussing this. Some of them agree to it, but some are against it," Kelsey said.

It seemed that Kelsey had been keeping an eye on the situation. I nodded, "Get someone to ask about the details of that company in Asherton tomorrow. And help me make an appointment as soon as possible to meet with someone from Fantasia Company."

Hendrix had been paying attention to Fantasia Company. He most probably wanted to acquire it as well. It seemed likely that the other party was also interested in Fantasia Company's technical capabilities, which explained why they were so eager to acquire it.

After chatting for a while, Kelsey returned to her work. As for me, I turned on the computer and started searching for more information on Fantasia Company. It was a small company, but it had high market value. However, the founder was only good at technical things but not managing the company, thus, driving the company's income to be falling short of expenditure as a result.

After spending some time looking into the company's details, someone came into my office. It was Hendrix. He took off his suit, showing off his slender and tall body frame. Instead of his usual distant and dark look, he looked a little more reserved and elegant.

"What are you looking at?" he asked.

I switched off the computer and got up, saying, "Some data about Fantasia Company. Are we leaving now? Did Mr. Hammer tell you where to meet him?"

He nodded and held my hand. He then replied, "Yes, he did. Let's go. Are you hungry now?"

"No," I denied. Although I didn't have lunch, I didn't feel hungry for the past few days either.

Hendrix parked his car in the garage. Since I was still scared of the garage, he went to collect his car on his own. Meanwhile, I waited for him at the garage's exit.

The lobby was crowded with people. My legs were sore after standing for a while, so I sat by the flower bed and waited for Hendrix.

It was the rush hour. One after another, people were leaving from the office tower. It was inevitable to see some familiar faces among the crowd. I spotted Kelsey, who had already changed into a pale yellow dress, and she even touched up her makeup. Looking blissful, she got on a black Cadillac outside the lobby.

She had been wearing that blissful smile for days; perhaps it was because she was getting married soon. I was curious what man could have the ability to make her so happy, mainly because Kelsey was usually so staid.

The window of the driver's seat was rolled down, and I peeked into it. The driver looked around 28 years old, and he looked decent, giving off a scholarly vibe.

I heard a car honk, and it interrupted my thoughts. I turned around and saw that it was Hendrix.

I got in the car and subconsciously looked in the lobby's direction again, only to find that the black Cadillac was gone.

"What are you looking at?" Hendrix asked while leaning towards me to fasten my seatbelt.

"A friend," I replied, keeping my eyes at the front of the road.

He didn't ask any further and drove us directly to the restaurant where we were going to meet Richard.

In the city center.

Hendrix pulled the car over at the entrance of a high-end restaurant. He then led us directly to the private dining room that Richard had booked in advance.

When we reached the private room, Richard and his wife had already arrived before us. There were two unfamiliar guests as well.

Upon our arrival, we were introduced to each other. In addition to Richard and his wife, the other two guests were, a middle-aged woman, who was also a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Richard's niece, who was a naive and lovely young girl.

"Mrs. Roberts, I ordered their signature chicken dish for you. It is delicious. Their soup is mouth-watering as well. You must have a try!" Evelyn was already acquainted with me. Therefore, she chatted with me enthusiastically.

She leaned into my ear and whispered, "You nearly scared me to death. I really thought you didn't want the child. I even went to the Lifebridge Church to pray for your well-being a few days ago."

I felt guilty upon hearing that and said apologetically, "I was in a tough spot back then. I didn't mean to hide it from you. I'm really sorry."

She shook her head and said with a smile, "What's there to apologize for? Besides, it's all good now. Let's not talk about those things anymore."
