Chapter 558


    He furrowed his brows and looked at me seriously, "Who did you hear that from?"


    "Nothing, I''m just asking!" To put it bluntly, I didn''t want to pry much into his past. I just couldn’t help


    asking as I had some doubts in my heart.


    He held me in his arms. His ck eyes looked a little deep, "Let''s not bring up the past again, okay?"


    I nodded. Afterwards, I got up and went into the bathroom.


    Why did he always seem so reluctant about mentioning his and Josiah''s past? He seemed to not care


    about it, but at the same time, he seemed to care about it very much.


    Coming out of the bathroom, I saw him on the phone at the balcony. His face looked a little grim. I


    wasn''t sure if it was because of work.


    Seeing mee out, he said something into the phone and ended the call. Then, he walked towards


    me and pulled me into his arms.


    "I may not be able to go shopping with youter. I need to sign something back at thepany. Will


    youe with me?"


    I shook my head, I''m not going out. I''ll rest in the hotel. I might go back to Ucrebury tomorrow."


    "What''s the matter?" He asked indifferently.


    "It''s nothing!" I came to Mesville to meet him on a spur of the moment. Now that I had seen him and got


    some good sleep, I had nothing to do, so it was best for me to return home.


    He hugged me and advised me gently, "Don''t run around alone in the future. This matter can''t happen


    twice, okay?"


    I nodded and looked up at him, "When are you going to return home?"


    "After I sign the contract tonight."


    I nodded, my head feeling heavy. I was unsure why I felt this way. Hendrix frowned when he noticed


    that there was something wrong with me, "What''s wrong?"


    I leaned on the bed and closed my eyes. I told him, I''m a little sleepy. I''m going to lie down for a while."


    Hendrix had to leave for thepany to sign the contract he mentioned, so he left afterforting me


    for a short while while I continued toy in bed.


    I was still sleepy when the phone rang again. I awakened and answered the phone. It was Shirley, the


    girl I met at the airport.


    "Hi Arianna, it''s Shirley. Remember me?"


    I nodded and realized that she couldn''t see me through the phone. After a pause, I answered, "Of


    course I do. Hello, Miss Shirley!"


    "Are you free now? Can I invite you to have dinner together? I don''t have any friends in Mesville and


    my fiance has gone to work again. I''ve been alone for a whole day. It''s so boring!"


    I looked out of the window. It was already dark and the clock on the wall indicated that it was eight at


    night.


    If I fell asleep now, I probably wouldn''t be able to sleep until dawn. I might even wake up in the middle


    of dawn.


    After thinking for a moment, I agreed, "Okay, I''m at yde Hotel. What about you?"


    As soon as she heard that I agreed, she beamed happily, "I''m at the winery. I''lle find youter.


    When I reach the lobby, I''ll call you on the phone."


    After answering the phone, Hendrix whispered,


    "Arianna!"


    Listening to his voice from the other end of the phone, I was shocked, "Are you in a meeting?"


    He answered, "I''m having a meeting to sign the contract. What''s the matter?"


    Fearing that I was disturbing him, I answered, "Oh, nothing. Go back to your meeting. I''ll call youter!"


    Just as I was about to hang up the phone, he said, "It doesn''t matter. You talk and I''ll listen to you. It''s


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    okay."


    "Sure!" He agreed. He paused for a moment and then asked, "Who are you going out with? What will


    you be doing?"
