Chapter 59
I did not like how Sawyer behaved so casually as though we were very familiar. I nodded at him and
then went to check on the bidding. There was a big crowd and everyone was fighting for the Roberts
Group''s auditing project.
I had a headache halfway through the event but I did not know what was wrong. Kelsey noticed I was
not feeling well, hence she helped me to the lounge and served me a ss of water. She spoke, "Miss
Reid, there are still a fewpanies left. If you''re not feeling well, you should go to the hospital."
I shook my head. I had heard most of the auditing firms'' presentations. After sipping some water, I
turned to her and instructed, "Keep an eye on the otherpaniester. If there are any suitable ones,
keep their proposals as a reference. Never mind if there are none."
After listening to a majority of the presentations, I was now quite familiar with them. I rested in the
lounge while Kelsey went back to check on the other auditing firms.
It was not easy being a mother. I thought I would be fine but I had never expected to encounter these
minor problems during such asions.
"What are you thinking about? You''re so absorbed in your thoughts." Suddenly, a callous voice hinted
with sarcasm rang in my ears.
I nced over and spotted Sawyer. I rubbed my eyes and retorted, "What are you doing here? What
about the presentation?"
"I''m worried about you!" He strode to stand behind me and massaged my temples. I wanted to pull
away but his strong arms held me in ce.
He ordered coldly, "Stop being so stubborn."
I was tired, hence I simply let him do as he pleased. Surprisingly, my headache was getting better as
he worked his hands.
After I had eased up, he let go and stared at me. "How are you feeling?"
I nodded. "I feel better, thank you."
Then, he sat down and was no longer frivolous. He asked solemnly, "What is Hendrix to you?"
It was an edgy topic and I frowned. "Mr. rk, shouldn''t you be worried about the bidding results?"
He put on a faint smile and answered, "I''m more concerned about you."
I ignored his reply. Kelsey came in and I knew that all thepanies must have finished their
presentations. Kelseypiled everything to make aparison.
I picked a fewpanies and stared at her while instructing, "I need a report. Check thesepanies''
recent projects andpare them. Send me a report after filtering through them."

Kelsey kept the documents and obliged. She nced at Sawyer and inquired hesitantly, "Miss Reid,
should I send you back?"
"Kelsey, you should head back to work. I''ll send her backter," Sawyer chipped in.
Kelsey gave me a questioning look. After casting a nce at Sawyer, I said to her, "It''s okay, go, and
do your work."
After Kelsey had left, I turned to Sawyer and uttered, "If you want to hit around the bushes, we could do
this all day."
I believed he would not show up without a valid reason. I did not want to waste my time chatting idly
with him.
He frowned at me because I was straightforward. He pursed his lips and pointed out, "Arianna, it''s not
a good thing to be this smart."
I could not be bothered to reply. I picked up my handbag and was ready to leave.
Yet, he stopped me and said, "Roberts Group''s annual audit is tied to the future of Roberts Group. Your
Hendrix chose me over Alford Audit?"
I sat back down quietly and waited for him to continue.
Sawyer found a seat beside me and exined, "Roberts Group has been in the market for a year now.
On the surface, thepany is doing great. However, think about it carefully. For yourst project,
Richard made ate payment but it was only dyed for a few days, right? Therefore, why would it be
a big problem for the Roberts Group? Do you really think that Roberts Group''s rapid growth is the
reason behind it? Will thepany suffer a huge loss just because the funds were dyed?"
