My Pretty Sweetheart novel Chapter 991

Following behind them, I was still trying to figure out what was going on. I was pretty confused. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to ask them anything as they both were walking very quickly.

At the first floor lobby, Sebastian sped up and put on his professional welcoming smile, "Mr. Roberts, welcome!"

When I looked up, it was Hendrix who brought in a team of people clothed in suits. They all looked extremely smart and energetic. What a coincidence.

As I had anticipated, if it was an ordinary meeting, Sebastian wouldn't have to come out personally.

I lowered my head and followed behind Sebastian. From time to time, I looked up and smiled slightly at those who met my eyes. When I had to, I occasionally guided the way for the others.

Hendrix and Sebastian were chatting with one another, the picture of casualness. They were not close friends but looking at them chatting away, one would be mistaken. Typical businessmen.

Linda came to my side and walked with me. She warned, "It is time to work. Stay focused. Don't be distracted."

I nodded, squared my shoulders, and followed her into the office. Linda arranged for the secretary to pour tea for everyone.

Hendrix broke off his conversation with Sebastian and asked out of the blue, "Mr. Milton, I've read your employee charts. Is Miss Reid your secretary?"

Sebastian nodded and turned his eyes to me. He said with a slight smile, "Yes, she just entered the company, but her capabilities are remarkable."

Hendrix nodded and said thoughtfully, "No wonder you asked her to take over the Roberts Group's project."

I frowned. Why the sudden change of the subject?

"Ouch!" The cry of pain came from the secretary who was pouring the hot tea and accidentally scalded herself. Her short cry echoed throughout the room, cutting through the tension in the room.
