Chapter 137


    She smiled forcefully and said, "Director, that''s not what I mean. You know I rarely bring up my private


    life with people in thepany. Besides, the female employees were told that we can''t get married nor


    have kids in the first five years joining thepany."


    No doubt, the Roberts Group was a goodpany. But when Dalton first started thepany, he


    considered how the marital and maternity leave entitled to female employees might affect their job


    performance. As a result, heid down a rule for female employees to not get married nor have kids for


    the first five years after being employed.


    That rule was unreasonable in the first ce, so when Hendrix took over thepany, he didn''t stress


    to execute that rule. But since it was set by his grandfather, Hendrix couldn''t just remove it from the


    system. Even so, he wouldn''t make things difficult if a female employee came up to him to apply for


    marital or maternity leave.


    However, that was Kelsey''s private life, and it wouldn''t be appropriate if I asked any further. So I smiled


    and said, "It''s fine if you don''t want to share. I''m just curious."


    After handing over the documents, I said to her, "Go ahead and do your work. Since Hendrix has


    decided to personally monitor Alford Audit''s matter, you should spend more time and energy on it. Not


    to mention, you also have to conclude Brilliant Audit''s auditing report."


    "Sure!" she replied.


    Seeing that she went out of the office, I looked up at the clock. It was already noon.


    I felt strange. ording to Hendrix''s recent behavior, he should have alreadye to take me to lunch


    by this time.


    A sudden knock on the office door startled me. I looked up to see Josiah hurried in. Before I could say

    anything, he was already pulling me away from the office.


    "Doctor Saunders, what''s wrong?" I asked. With my short legs, I couldn''t keep up with him. I was


    basically trotting behind him the whole time.


    After entering the elevator, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Hendrix got into a car ident. He''s


    now at the emergency room."


    A car ident?


    I was confused. He was still fine the night before.


    "How is he? How did the ident happen?" I questioned. With Hendrix''s driving skills, he could easily


    participate in the National Championship. How did he, of all people, end up in a traffic collision?


    "Let''s get to the hospital first," Josiah said. Then without saying much, he took me to his car after


    Josiah was driving very fast all the way, and it didn''t take long for us to arrive at the hospital.


    I followed him to the emergency room, only to see Austin was already guarding by the entrance.


    "What happened?" Josiah asked while catching a breath from how fast he walked.


    Austin looked fine, but he didn''t answer Josiah''s question. He red at me with slight embarrassment


    and then cast his nce away towards the end of the corridor.


    I followed his gaze and looked in that direction. Then I understood Austin''s expression. Andrea was


    standing there with messy hair and some wounds on the back of her hand. She looked a little


    disarranged.


    "I wasn''t at the scene either, so I don''t know what happened," Austin said before walking towards


    Andrea.


    I snorted.


    It was clear to me what really happened, seeing how Hendrix and Andrea were injured together.


    "Mr. Roberts'' family!" A doctor called out. He had just walked out from the emergency room with


    medical records in hand.


    "Doctor! Is Hendrix alright?" Andrea stood up and asked as soon as she heard the doctor''s voice.


    As a fellow physician, Josiah was calmer than most of us. He looked at the doctor and asked, "How is


    the patient doing now?"


    "The patient is still in aa for now since he hit his head. We can only learn the specifics once the


    patient wakes up. Also, pieces of sses got into the patient''s ribs, and they are deep. Well have to


    perform a minor surgery after getting informed consent from the patient''s family. Is any of the patient''s


    family members present?" The doctor exined and looked around us while he got the papers ready.


    Andrea was anxious and said in a hurry, "1-1 will sign it!"


    The doctor nodded and asked, "Miss, what''s your rtionship with the patient?"


    Andrea froze and bit her lips.


    I was standing aside with my arms crossed and asked lightly, "Will it be legally effective if the patient''s


    mistress signed the papers?"
