My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 1526

She couldn't hide the happiness on her face. I smiled and congratulated her, "Congratulations! I wish you a marriage full of joy and contentment. We will surely be there when the time comes."

She beamed and continued to hand out wedding invitations to the other colleagues. Tobias and I walked out of the building. He murmured, "D*mn, what a waste that a gorgeous woman like her is getting married soon. I've had enough. It wasn't easy for me to meet a woman who could attract my attention. What a pity."

After entering the car, I rolled my eyes at him. "Can't you behave better? Aren't you afraid of retribution by taking love for granted? What goes around comes around. I'm afraid that one day, you'll fall hopelessly in love with a woman and you'll be the one to suffer then."

He leaned back against the seat and stated indifferently, "I will never love a woman like that in my life. I long for freedom. I will never allow myself to be controlled by a woman."

Seeing that he was so assured and full of himself, I didn't comment. Life was complicated. There was still a long way to go. Everyone just needed to wait and see.

Along the way, I drove the car in silence as we had nothing much to discuss. When we arrived at the factory, Tobias adopted a serious demeanor and entered the factory with me. The Roberts Group didn't have many factories, most of which focused on technology processing. Besides that, in the last two years, most of the factories were mainly operated by machines. Thus there were not many people in the factory. The person in charge of the factory was a middle- aged man in his forties.

We had informed him of our arrival in advance, so he came out as soon as we arrived at the door. He greeted Tobias and I before taking us to the processing room.

"As far as I know, this batch of samples from the Roberts Group is quite good. I came here to check it myself. Then, I'll go back and talk to the elders of the Hayes family. If there is no problem with these samples, we can sign the agreement immediately. However, I have a request. I'd like to bring some samples back so that I can persuade the board of directors."

Tobias looked at me and asked, "Are you fine with this?"

I nodded. "Sure!"

These were all arranged by Hendrix in advance. I didn't have much opinion. I brought Tobias around the factory for a while. After answering all his questions, we walked out of the factory together.

It was already noon when we left. Tobias asked me, "Aren't you going to take me around Jarold City? By the way, why don't we try out some special local delicacies?"

I gave him a look and replied, "I'll take you there later. A hotel has been arranged for you. Call me if you need anything and I'll arrange someone to provide it to you."

He nodded and enquired, "Can I not stay in the hotel?"

"Sure!" I said indifferently while holding onto the steering wheel. "We booked a hotel for you. It's your right to choose where to stay. There are a lot of nightclubs downtown. There are all kinds of pretty and seductive women there. However, if you want to hook up with some superstars, it might be a little difficult. It depends on your charm."

He glanced at me and pursed his lips. "Am I really such a playboy to you? What do you mean by superstars? Am I that raunchy? I don't want to live in a hotel because I want to stay at your house. I've asked someone to send my luggage over. Why is Hendrix so stingy? Can't he find a housekeeper to take care of the villa? It's too empty!"
