Chapter 1154


    He lifted an eyebrow. "My hand hurts."


    That was all he bothered saying. I decided to just follow along despite my doubts.


    Andrea stood there, her delicate face a little pale.


    After being busy with the Lancille Vige project for a few days, I was d to finally have some days


    to rest.


    With Thanksgiving approaching, I was thinking about asking for leave from Sebastian to go back to


    the capital.


    The past few days, Anne had been calling me saying that she missed me. And in truth, this mother


    missed her child too.


    Saturday afternoon, Hendrix had an appointment with Sebastian to talk about the uing events


    rting to the Lancille Vige project. With some time on my hand, I nned to pack up in the vi


    and then go back.


    However, I didn''t expect Andrea to call. "Arianna, do you have time?"


    I knew that she had nothing good to say to me, so I refused immediately. "No, I''m sorry, Miss


    Burton.


    Just tell me what you want to talk to me about on the phone."


    She simpered. "It''s not a big deal. I just heard that you froze to death some time ago, so I wanted to


    comfort you."


    I frowned at the phone. How did she know about this?


    "Thank you for your concern, Miss Burton," I said.


    "Hmm," she continued, "it''s so unfortunate that you don''t have time. I wanted to talk to you about


    what happened that day. Since you are busy, let''s forget I said anything."


    I blinked. Hendrix had been investigating the matter since it happened. I haven''t kept up and had


    almost forgotten about it. Why would she suddenly call me about it. Was it possible that she had


    something to do with it?


    "Andrea, speak inly." I was running out of patience.


    "Nothing. I just didn''t want Hendrix to tire himself out for you, so I secretly found someone to


    investigate. I identally found something. But since you are not interested, then forget it."


    "Send me the location!" I got up and went to the bedroom to put on a coat.


    She acknowledged me indifferently then hung up the phone.


    It was not difficult to find the cafe. She was there when I arrived and had already ordered a cup of


    coffee. She made quite a picture, sitting there, enjoying the scenery outside the window.


    She knew that I had arrived but didn''t look at me. My only acknowledgment was a slight squint in


    her eyes. Then she gracefully took a sip of coffee and raised her eyebrows at me. "This coffee still


    tastes good when it''s bitter. With sugar, the taste will change."


    I gritted my teeth at the dig. I didn''t like bitter things, food or in life.


    I ordered a ss of juice. When she remained silent, I said impatiently, "Miss Burton, are we just


    here to drink coffee?"

    Her mouth curved into a smile. "Of course not!"


    After she finished half her coffee, she looked up at me, and her eyes paused on my neck. She


    pursed her lips then smiled, "Hendrix bought two of them at the same time that day. I''ve been


    thinking about who he gave the other one to, but I didn''t expect it to be you!"


    I fought the urge to grimace but my hand rose up to touch the ne around my neck. It was


    Hendrix''s gift to me that night when we were having dinner.


    I didn''t reply. At the back of my mind, I had an inkling about what she was going to say next. There


    was no need for me to make things difficult for myself.


    She saw me not saying anything and her smile grew wider. She mocked, "You''re not curious about


    why I know about the ne?"


    "I''m not interested!" I said and took a small sip of fruit juice. I frowned at the odd taste of sweetness.


    It didn''t taste like freshly squeezed juice.
