I glanced at the documents Austin was holding. They were proposals for some technological products. It seemed that the company would be launching another new product soon.
I replied, "Mr. Shelley, you're overthinking. Roberts Group will always be Roberts Group. I'm merely a director. I took two days off because I wasn't feeling well. I'm really grateful for your concern, but you seem very busy. I think you should focus on yourself. If you have too much on your mind, you might end up making some mistakes."
Since there were only three of us in the elevator, I had no intention of going easy on him. However, Austin's secretary was present. If I were to argue with him openly, it wouldn't do good for my reputation.
The elevator door opened. Austin wanted to retort but he had no choice but to swallow his remarks. In the end, he shot me a glare and went out of the elevator.
After returning to my office, Kelsey came in before I could sit down. She looked at me and informed, "Miss Reid, Mr. Roberts asks for you in his office."
I had not even settled down, how did Hendrix know that I came to the company?
I suppressed my doubts and nodded. "Okay, I'll go in a moment."
Later, in Hendrix's office.
There was no one in the large office. It was spacious and quiet. I pouted. Hendrix was the only one who could stay in an office as such.
I glanced around and noticed that Evan was busy with work in the secretary office. Thus, I went up and knocked on the door.
Evan looked up. He was taken aback when he noticed me. He said, "Miss Reid, Mr. Roberts is in Mr. Shelley's office. He will be back soon."
