I shook my head subconsciously and replied, "No!"
He looked at me, dissatisfied with my answer. Finally, I pouted and said, "Alright. I would like to eat steak, paella, some Chinese cuisine..." I randomly said a lot of dishes at one go, but he just listened with a smile. I didn't think he could remember all of them, so I shrugged and didn't continue.
I was in a hurry to take Anne to the hospital so after listing out the food, I took my bag and prepared to leave.
As I walked out of the office, I happened to meet Hendrix's secretary at the elevator door. She was carrying a huge pile of documents in her hand. She was somewhat absent-minded, and did not even notice that she had dropped something on the ground.
I greeted her. "Hello!"
After calling her name twice in a row, she looked back at me and saw the document in my hand. I said, "You dropped this."
She froze for a moment, and then took the documents from me timidly.
"Sonia, what's wrong with you?" The man who came out of the elevator looked at the secretary and asked, "What's going on with you today? You are either sending the wrong documents or losing things. Now you're bumping into people. Are you okay?"
The secretary shook her head repeatedly, and her eyes were bloodshot. Evan came out of the elevator, and when he saw that all my attention was on Sonia, he could not help but ask, "Mrs. Roberts, what's wrong?"
I shook my head and looked at Sonia with concern. Her behaviors made me feel a little uneasy.
However, everyone was in a hurry. No one would waste too much time on a person who had nothing to do with them, so I didn't ask her more questions. I got in the elevator, preparing to leave.
Some of the media reporters were still waiting for Hendrix downstairs, thinking that they might have the chance to get something out of him when he came out.
Now that I was walking out of the company, it was inevitable that I would meet these reporters face to face. I thought about it and decided to exit through the company's back door. Suddenly, my phone rang. Valerie was calling.
