Ethan blushed at her praise.
In the end, we all agreed to her suggestion and bought a lot of ingredients from the grocery store. Dinner was served very soon as we worked together to prepare the meal. Naomi said to me, "Arianna, call Hendrix and ask him to come have dinner with us. It's already late at night. He should be done with his work."
After a whole day's work, the sky outside was already dark. Everyone was here, so I asked him to come over so that we could get to know each other.
After the phone was connected, I asked, "Hendrix, are you done with work?"
"Madam, Mr. Roberts is still in a meeting. It should take some time!" It wasn't Hendrix who answered, but a woman. Her voice sounded familiar. After a moment, I realized it was Estella.
I muttered, "Oh, would you mind asking him to call me back after he's done?"
Estella agreed and hung up the phone.
I couldn't help frowning. Naomi glanced over at me, from where she was cleaning the food ingredients. She asked, "What's wrong? Is he not
done with work yet?"
I nodded in acknowledgement. Hendrix usually had his phone with him at all times. I found it strange that today was an exception.
"I called Sebastian and told him about our little get-together. He said he's on his way!" Naomi muttered.
