My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 371

Troy wasn't surprised at all listening to my reply. He looked as if he was expecting it. He then said, "Mrs. Roberts, you don't need to worry about it. Things like these won't happen twice. To assure you of our sincerity, I've brought Mr. Hammer with me. He was the one who was in charge of the Roberts Group's audit previously. With him present, you can just hand us the job with ease."

From the look of it, Calvin's position in Alford Audit seemed to be more senior than Troy's.

I glanced at Calvin. He smiled and said, "Director Reid, I can assure you that the same thing won't happen twice."

I pursed my lips and looked at Hendrix. "Can I reject doing the audit?"

Hendrix raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the reason?"

"I neither wish to be involved in this nor do I want to repeat the same mistake." I'm now part of the Granger Group. For me, it wasn't great that the Roberts Group still handed me the rights to manage their audit although they might have good intentions.

Hendrix narrowed his eyes. After a brief pause, he looked at Troy and said, "Mr. Lawson, I'm afraid I have to reject the offer. The incident that happened last time had traumatised my wife. I'll just be frank. Handing over the same matters to Brilliant Audit did not cause any damage to our company even though Brilliant Audit is a much smaller company. As for Alford Audit, the last time that happened, our company was almost bankrupted. So I'm afraid I have to reject your offer and let you know that Roberts Group won't be handing over their audit to Alford Audit."

Troy and Calvin were shocked to hear that. "Mr. Roberts, you should know better than us that the crisis that happened last time in Roberts Group was because there was a mole in your company. It had nothing to do with Alford Audit. Alford Audit was just a spark in the beginning that ignited the problem."

Hendrix raised his eyebrows. A faint smile appeared on his face. "Does that mean that you think the mistake that Alford Audit made could be forgiven?"

Troy froze and his face turned pale.

This meal was bound to be unpleasant.

Back in the car, Hendrix glanced sideways at me. I could feel his dark, intent gaze on me. "What are you thinking about?"
