My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 778

I shrugged. What else could I do but to get used to it?

Hendrix was in a hurry to go to a meeting. As soon as he got out of the elevator, Evan came over with a file. Hendrix looked at me and said, "Wait for me in the office. If you're sleepy, take a break. I will come and keep you company after the meeting."

I nodded as I watched him and Evan enter the office. The annual holidays were coming up, so things were getting busy.

"Director Reid!" Someone called out behind me. I was stunned for a moment. When I looked back, I saw an acquaintance, but I could not remember who that person was for a moment.

She said with a wide smile on her face, "Hello!"

She must have sensed my polite confusion, so she flashed me another smile and said, "Director Reid, I am Eugene, from the Roberts Group in Ucrebury. I was transferred here recently. I am from the finance department."

I then remember that I had spoken to her before when I was receiving the engineering contract from Richard.

I immediately laughed and sent a smile her way. "I'm so sorry I didn't recognize you straight away! It's been five years after all!"

She shook her head and said with a smile, "No worries, it's been a long time. Did you come here with Mr. Roberts?"

I nodded. I pointed to the direction of the conference room and said, "He's in a meeting, so I'm just walking around."

"I'm supposed to hand in this year's financial report to Mr. Roberts. Are you free after the meeting? Perhaps we could have a meal together?" She suggested.

She continued shyly, "I've been here for a few months now, but I still don't have any friends. Since we've known each other for years, I thought we could eat together and then perhaps, go shopping together."

I nodded with a small smile. "Yes, let's go when you are free. I'm not working so I have a lot of free time."

She smiled in surprise. "Really? Then let's make an appointment for next time. I'll go hand in the report first."
