Chapter 1137
Hendrix walked up to me and took my hand." Austin was detained by something. It''s gettingte,
why don''t we go eat!"
Since they were already here, there was no reason to refuse. There were limited restaurants and
ces to eat anyway.
Once we arrived at the restaurant, I wondered if Andrea was pretending to be a little girl, or if this
was usual for her. She had an innocent yet extremely coquettish act on.
It was getting on my nerves, so I chose to be silent.
After ordering the dishes, I couldn''t figure out what was wrong with her brain. She pulled Hendrix
aside and said that she was going to buy ice cream. Hendrix waved her off to go on her own.
After she left, I couldn''t help but stare at Hendrix with my chin propped in my palms. I said, "Would
you be able to rx if she goes alone?"
He smiled from ear to ear. "Mrs. Roberts, are you jealous?"
I shrugged and denied. "I''m not jealous."
He held my hand, and I felt him put something in it. Looking down, I saw a small delicate box.

I looked up at him and frowned. "What is it?"
He didn''t stop smiling. "Open it and find out!"
I was shocked when I opened it. It was a gorgeous, well-designed ne. I looked at him in
astonishment and he encouraged with a smile, "Put it on."
"When did you buy this?" This ne looked far too costly and unique to be bought off the rack.
"Thest time I went back to Jarold City, the organizers gave it to me. I heard that there were only
three in the world. I thought you would like it, so I brought it with me." While speaking, he had gotten
impatient and had taken it out and sped it around my neck.
"Very beautiful!" He looked at it carefully and finally gave a suitable answer.
As he watched me, I felt a little shy and changed the topic. "By the way, how''s Evan''s investigation
going?"
I hadn''t mentioned anything about the base to him. Now that I thought about it, I had to ask.
"There''s no hurry for now. You need to finish your work first." He knew something but didn''t seem to
have any intention of telling me.
By the time our orders were served, Andrea was still not back yet. I looked at Hendrix and said,
"Andrea has been out for so long. Did something happen to her?"
He paused for a moment, made a phone call, then asked, "Where is she?"
He was probably talking to Andrea''s bodyguard.
I couldn''t hear what was said on the phone but I saw Hendrix''s handsome eyebrows furrowed, and
he said curtly, "Find her quickly!"
Then, he hung up the phone.
Looking at his face, I guessed that they''d lost Andrea. I couldn''t help saying, "Don''t worry. Lancille
Vige is not very big. She probably just went shopping."
Hendrix nodded and looked at me, "Wait for me here. If you''re hungry, you can go ahead and start
eating. I''ll find her ande back right away!"
I stopped him, and he looked at me in surprise. I smiled and said, "I''ll go with you. A while ago,
Naomi and I had toured the area. I''m more familiar than you."
He wasn''t convinced. "Stay and eat, the food''ll be coldter!"
"Don''t worry. I''ll ask the boss to just warm it upter. Let''s find her together!" After a quick word to
the boss, I left with Hendrix.
Lancille Vige was not very big, a?d there were only a few ces selling ice cream. Hendrix and I
searched, but we didn''t find her.
