My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1522

I pursed my lips. "Why is Sebastian still thinking about the sandalwood box? Even if the items in the box had some value, it is not much. Why is Sebastian so obsessed with it?"

"The oil plants in Eastern Europe have been affected by the pandemic this year. The Milton family is in the oil industry and now is a good time to buy from the Eastern European oil plants at a low price. However, the Milton family doesn't have a legal agreement. An agreement might not seem significant. But in Eastern Europe, they only sell to companies who have a legal and valid agreement. The Milton family did not invest much in the industry over the years so a contract is dispensable to them. But now, if he were to buy oil in bulk, he had to get his hands on a contract. Moreover, Sebastian didn't get any benefits in Oakland. Oil is the fastest way to bring profits to the Milton family at present, so it's inevitable that he would ask you for that box."

Hearing his words, I was astonished and asked uncertainly, "Then, should I give the box to him?" If Sebastian came for the box, I might not be able to secure and keep it safe.

After all, when I came back from Myanway, I

promised to give the box to Sebastian. But when I gave it to him later, Hendrix had switched out the box for a counterfeit one.

Hendrix was at a loss for words. After a long time, he answered, "From our point of view, I don't want you to give the box to him. After all, Sebastian is a deceitful crook. He wants the business in Oakland badly. He is entangled in the Milton family's business now, so he has no time to come for me. No one can guarantee that he will not continue to attack me after the Milton family's problems are resolved."

That was true.

After a pause, he explained, "The Milton family is a domestic company. If they manage to buy oil at a low price, there will be enough supply for domestic oil, which is a good thing for everyone. With so much oil, it means that the price will be reduced. In a sense, it's not a bad news."

I was a little confused. "So, shall I give it to him or not?"

He did not answer me, but suddenly hung up the phone. When I called again, the line was busy. After a long time, the call was connected but we did not talk about this any further.

It was the next day.

I went straight to the Roberts Group. Tobias arrived late. After Evan gave me a brief report of the company's current situation, he went out of the office. Estella was surprised to see me in Hendrix's office, but she still showed me the files after a moment. They were basically some contracts and some company startup plans. Hendrix had told me about them before, so I knew how to handle them.

When Tobias arrived, I was reading the documents in the office. His entrance attracted a lot of attention from onlookers. He had brought a beautiful woman with long legs and wavy hair along with him, and he didn't seem to care about anyone's opinion as he caressed the woman in public.

As soon as he entered the office, he set the woman down in his lap and put his slender fingers between her legs. It was winter, so the woman was wearing flesh-colored leggings. He continued to caress her for a while, but he was probably not satisfied, so he asked the woman to take her leggings off. The woman looked at him with some embarrassment and said softly, "I don't think it's appropriate, Mr. Hayes."

"There's nothing inappropriate about it. You've already said that you want to have fun with me today. What's wrong? Are you going back on your words?" Tobias' expression made me want to slap

him.

The woman looked uncomfortable with his request, but Tobias looked at her indifferently like it was none of his business. There was some displeasure on his face. Girls in brothels were good at observing others' expressions. After a moment of hesitation, the woman bit her lip slightly and lowered her head. She was about to take off her leggings in the office. I was sitting at the desk, watching this scene unfold, and could not help frowning. Then, I glanced at Tobias and declared, "Mr. Hayes, why don't I get a hotel room for you, and we can talk about work after you're done."
