After accompanying Hendrix for the meal, I returned home.
On the way, I called Freya and told her about Hendrix's thoughts in detail. Just like me, she was silent for a long time before saying one sentence.
"Arianna, your man is not the ordinary guy."
The corner of my lips curled up into a smile. That wasn't a secret. I replied, "Well, it's a known fact."
"I'm not flattering him," Freya said in a serious tone. "He's so bold and ambitious. Jarold City won't be enough for Hendrix. He's capable of going global."
I agreed. Just like when I first heard Hendrix saying those words in the office, I subconsciously looked up and admired him.
After a few more casual exchanges, Freya hung up the phone. However, looking out of the window, I still felt uneasy.
Those who wanted to deal with Roberts Group had settled down in Jarold City a few decades earlier than Hendrix. After so many years, they flourished and had their roots penetrated deep into the soil. It was easy for them to gain a firm foothold. Hendrix couldn't defeat them so easily.
There was one more thing Hendrix reminded me about.
I hadn't been involved in Roberts Group for a long time, so I seemed to have slacked off like a housewife who had nothing to do all the time.
It would be fine if I was a real housewife, but Minnie was already handling everything in the family. The biggest thing I did every day was to play with Anne and send dinner to Hendrix. I basically lived less diligently than a lackey running errands.
I was less than thirty years old. I couldn't always repeat my days like that in the following decades.
The previous year, when I was in the postgraduate entrance exam, I was delayed by all kinds of matters. I used to major in law. So far, I still had a deep impression of those review materials. Maybe it would not be so difficult to pick them up again.
