"I know what I'm doing. You just need to take good care of your body, I'll settle the rest. Remember to eat the medicine after your meals, never on an empty stomach. Also, stop taking the medicine that Auntie gave you," Hendrix said.
He seemed a little long- winded. However, I couldn't help pulling the corner of my mouth up into a smile and nodding. "Got it. You go back to your work first," I replied.
After that, I hung up the phone and said in the direction of the kitchen, "Madam Parker, let's have our dinner. Hendrix won't come back for dinner tonight."
Soon, Minnie set the table and dinner was served.
Anne had a good appetite. She had finished all the rice in her bowl, insisting on peeling the shrimp on her own. As a result, both of her hands were stained with the juices of the shrimp head.
After eating and playing with Anne for a while, I coaxed her to sleep. She was very tired and fell asleep quickly.
Seeing that it was still early, I guessed that there was no one else in the Roberts Group and there weren't any good food deliveries nearby the building either, so I asked Minnie to heat up a few dishes and drove to the company to meet Hendrix.
Even though it was winter, there was a huge contrast in the temperature of Jarold City during daytime and nighttime. I was still shivering despite already having on a thick sweater. When I got out of the car, I ducked into my clothes and quickly ran to the office building where the Roberts Group was located.
There was no one around at that time, apart from a security guard downstairs. He still recognized me, and he let me enter the office after a few greetings.
Upon entering the Roberts Group building, there was only one row of fluorescent lights that had been turned on. The whole office felt a little desolate at that moment.
I could still remember where Hendrix's office was located, so I walked towards that direction with a lunch box in my hand. At the entrance, I could hear the tender voice of a woman speaking.
The woman asked, "Mr. Roberts, you haven't taken your dinner yet, right? There is a Japanese restaurant located opposite our company. Why don't we go there to grab our dinner first, and then come back to work overtime?"
