My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 166

After the girl left, I looked at Hendrix and smiled faintly, "She's young."

He raised his eyebrows, then pulled me into his embrace, "Are you jealous?"

I shook my head, "No. It's just that your office feels more lively now."

He held me in his arms and said, "Well, we are, in fact, welcoming a new life, aren't we?"

I didn't say anything. I should feel loved by his sweet words, but instead, I felt fear. And I had no idea where it came from.

After lunch, Hendrix let me take a nap in his lounge before going back to my work. I woke up because of some commotion in his office.

I didn't think much of the noises. Hendrix seemed to have gone out by then, and since I didn't have anything to do at Hendrix's office, I decided to go back to my office.

Then, I saw the girl from earlier in Hendrix's office. Upfront, she was gorgeous, and she beamed when she saw me. "Mrs. Roberts, I didn't know you were in the lounge. Did I disturb you?"

The girl looked a little familiar, but I couldn't recall where I had seen her before. I hesitantly asked her, "You are...?"

She smiled, "I'm Chloe Hammer. We met before, but you might not remember. My uncle is Richard Hammer, and I just joined the Roberts Group as Mr. Roberts' secretary."

I was still dazed from the nap, and I couldn't hear her well, but I could vaguely understand what she was saying. The only question left to answer was why Hendrix would suddenly hire her as his secretary.

"Did you arrange the flowers in the office?" I asked casually. Hendrix and Evan were both not fond of flowers and plants. There used to be some plants in the office, but they eventually threw the plants out purely because Hendrix found them troublesome.

Yet, Hendrix allowed these recent additions to his office.

"Yes, I did. I found that Mr. Robert's office was too dull, so I decided to decorate it with some flowers and plants. Of course, I asked Evan about this beforehand," she answered fluidly.
