Chapter 550


    She was stunned for a moment and replied in surprise, "A secretary? Doesn''t Mr. Roberts already have


    Evan? Plus, I don''t think Mr. Roberts has ever hired a female secretary before."


    I took a sip of water as my head buzzed. "Thepany will expand after the New Year, and Evan can''t


    manage everything on his own. After all, you''ve worked in Roberts Group before, so you know his


    character. It''ll be more convenient for you to work with him!"


    She was puzzled. "Miss Reid, you''re not busy with your work in the Granger Group now, so you can go


    back to work over at the Roberts Group. Why aren''t you doing so?"


    "Indeed, I don''t need to worry too much about the Granger Group now, but I won''t work in the Roberts


    Group anymore. I have my own ns. Of course, you can refuse if you don''t want to!"


    Then, she shook her head. "It''s not that. I''m working at the Moore Group now. To put it bluntly, my job


    there can''t evenpare to being a receptionist. I feel fortunate to be able to return to the Roberts


    Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Group as Mr. Roberts''s secretary, but Miss Reid, does this mean that the Moore Family won''t need me


    to..."


    "No need!" I''ve done everything I was supposed to do, and I''ve received all the punishments that I


    deserved.


    Since a new year has begun, I should start from scratch.


    Upon hearing this, she froze for a moment before she handed me the sleeping pills that she had


    brought over. Then, she paused and pointed out, "Calvin doesn''t know much about the rtionship


    between Mr. Saunders and Mr. Roberts. ording to what he said, Mr. Saunders had fallen in love


    with a girl when he was a teenager and she was Mr. Roberts''s cousin. I don''t know why that girl jumped


    off a building andmitted suicide as this matter happened a long time ago. No one in the Roberts


    family even mentioned this. Nevertheless, Mr. Saunders probably hasn''t let things go, so he''s looking to


    sabotage Mr. Roberts at work."


    I couldn''t help but frown and asked, "Sabotage?" It had been more than a decade since the romance


    first started.


    Furthermore, Hendrix had a cousin? Wasn''t Uncle Trent childless?


    What was going on?


    Why did everything seem to get moreplicated?


    Kelsey agreed with my musings. After a pause, she nced at me and added, "I have been following


    up on Chloe recently. Except for Mr. Saunders, she doesn''t seem to have contacted anyone else.


    However, she went to Jarold City some time ago, but I don''t know what exactly did she do there."


    "She went to Jarold City during the New Year?"


    She nodded. "I think she reached out to the Granger family. Irvin once had an assistant called Eugene."


    I muttered my assent. Once Minnie finished preparing my meal. I popped a sleeping pill after eating,


    and I went straight back to my room right after the medication kicked in.


    I didn''t wake up until early next morning. It seemed that Minnie had been waiting for me to wake up.


    When she heard soundsing from the bedroom, she hurriedly came upstairs and brought me some


    food. Setting eyes on me, shemented, "It''s good that you are awake. Are you hungry? Mr. Roberts


    called me on the phone just now and he told me that there will be a dy in his return. He knew that


    you were asleep, so he asked me to wait for you to wake up and have you eat something."


    After a few hours of sleep, I felt energetic. I peered at the sky outside. It was very dark, and the wall


    clock told me that it was one in the morning.


    Since I had just woken up, I didn''t have much appetite. I nced at Minnie and replied, "Minnie, just put


    the food here and I''ll eat itter. It''ste, you should go to bed first."


    Minnie was getting on in age, so she tired easily. She urged me to eat my food again before going


    downstairs.


    I sat on the bed, wide awake. I couldn''t help feeling a little regretful. Since I had slept for such a long


    time, it was impossible for me to continue sleeping any longer.


    It seemed that I was going to have to stay upte again.


    Suddenly, the phone rang and it was a call from Hendrix.


    I picked up the phone and answered in a softer voice, "I just woke up."


    "Alright!" His voice was hoarse, but it sounded particrly pleasing to my ears. "Eat somethingter,


    and it doesn''t matter if you can''t fall asleep. I happen to have nothing to do now, so I wouldn''t mind


    staying up for a chat."


    "Okay!" I agreed.


    "Okay!"


    After that, Hendrix did not say anything more.


    After half a minute of silence, I thought for a moment and said, "Please hurry home."


    Hendrix was silent fora long while before he spoke in a low voice, "I will!"


    I had nothing else to say, so I looked at my phone and got reay to hang up.


    Unexpectedly, he beamed over the phone, "Remember to miss me!"
