My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 2071

"Drive. Back to the office." Hendrix said this with a blank face. There wasn't a trace of joy or anger.

For those who shared the same blood, the perpetrator could act unscrupulously, but the victim would feel burdened without any way of retaliating. To put it bluntly, the wicked ones had nothing to worry about.

Unfortunately, Hendrix wasn't a villain.

In this moment, where comfort was meaningless, silent companionship was precious.

Along the way, I took Hendrix's arm and leaned on his shoulder, playing with his fingers. I would feel him occasionally looking at me, but I didn't say anything as I didn't want to make him feel like had to explain himself. Gently snuggling up to his arm, I positioned myself as a soft comfort for him to hold on to.

After Hendrix had risen to become the wealthiest man in the country, he moved his company's headquarters into the highest office building in the center of the city. It was merely two blocks away from the city square and we arrived in a few minutes.

"Bring me the documents," Hendrix ordered at

Evan as he led me into the office.

After so many years, I had forgotten everything about the company's business, so when I heard Hendrix instructing Evan to do so, I was uninterested as I thought he had come back to the office to simply deal with some business affairs. As I saw him take his blazer off and approach the desk, I settled down in the reception area so as to not disturb him and Evan's discussion.

Hendrix pulled out a chair and saw me sitting on the sofa. He paused and raised his hand to call me over, saying, "Arianna, sit here."

Without hesitating, I got up and sat next to him.

Evan pushed the door open and entered the office. He walked up to the desk and handed a leather bag to Hendrix. After giving me a respectful nod, he turned around and left the room.

As I recalled Evan's contributions over the years, I casually asked, "Evan should settle down in Jarold City, don't you think? Should we increase his salary?"

Evan had been by Hendrix's side ever since Ucrebury, bearing the same pressures and responsibilities that Hendrix had to. I felt ashamed. Never mind just doubling his salary, it seemed fair to also award him some shares of the company to put him more on par with us.
