"Do I look like I've got nothing better to do?" Hendrix grabbed my hand and explained, "Cyril is one of the most popular men in his industry. He has countless eyes on him at all times. Do you think I even need to keep an eye on him? I did help them to cover up most of the news about them though."
I caught him saying that. I opened my eyes wide and asked, "Wow, what kind of news? What was it about?"
Hendrix suddenly rolled over and pressed me under his body. Before I could react, he had lifted both my hands over my head and held them tightly. "Since you're so concerned about these matters, why don't we experience it ourselves?"
As he said this, his other hand slipped into my pajamas.
Knowing that he was being serious about this, I quickly begged for mercy, "Hendrix, I was wrong. I'm not interested in any of it after all. I'm not going to ask about it anymore, so stop playing around!"
Hendrix lowered his head and moved closer to my face. He rubbed his nose against mine and asked,
"Aren't you going to repay me after everything I've done for you?"
"What?" I was taken aback. Then, my face turned pale. "That dessert... Is that what you mean?"
I wondered why he was being so kind tonight!
"What else?" Hendrix whispered heavily.
"..." I will never eat anything he cooks ever again!
Even so, I really wasn't keen on doing it tonight!
"Hendrix..." I pleaded bitterly with a pitiful look on my face. "I've been very busy with Anne at the company today. We also went shopping after that. I'm really tired. How about another day?"
I gulped and wasn't sure whether I had managed to persuade this beast to step away.
Hendrix was unexpectedly easy to talk to tonight. He let go of me and lay back down without saying anything.
Before I could speak, he then said leisurely, "There is no such thing as keeping a secret forever, especially with how popular Cyril is now. The news will reach the Zimmer family sooner or later and that's when the chaos will start."
I didn't dare to answer him, so I simply laid down, leaned against him and fell asleep peacefully.
No matter how powerful the Zimmer family was, even if they used their military forces, Freya wouldn't just stand back and sit down quietly. No one knows who would be the last one standing after.
Due to how closely connected Foresty Wine was with the Skull Organization, Anne decided to take drastic measures and proposed to purchase wine from Andoland, the largest wine company in the country.
After everything was confirmed, the alcohol in the club would be solely provided by the Roberts Group. This way, we would avoid the risk of purchasing fake wine while also preventing others from taking advantage of our business.
After obtaining the information from Freya, it was confirmed that Leonil had made a private deal with Quinn, Lucas, and the others. I immediately set off with Anne and went to Andoland to officially propose the purchase agreement.
