Chapter 1375


    Facial recognition was required to ess the president'' s elevator. Since Hendrix was not around, I


    had no choice but to ess the staff elevator. Those gossipingdies came over too. When they


    saw me, they finally stopped talking!


    "Mrs. Roberts!" I was stunned to find somebody greeting me. I turned around. It was Este. I


    smiled in return.


    As the staff elevator door opened, I squeezed past the other employees into the elevator. Since


    they knew who I was, they stopped gossiping about Hendrix and me. Instead, they began chatting


    with Este.


    It was easy to tell that everybody liked Este. She was pretty and friendly after all.


    I got out of the elevator when it reached the floor for Hendrix''s office. Then, I was dumbfounded to


    find that his office could only be essed via fingerprint recognition.


    Hence, I had no choice but to call Hendrix. As soon as I grabbed my phone, the ss sensor door


    opened. It was Este.


    She looked at the door before directing her gaze at me and said, "Have you been busy, Mrs.


    Roberts? Why haven''t you been visiting Mr. Robertstely?"


    I nced at the documents in her arms. Those had to be reviewed by Hendrix. “Yeah, I have a lot of


    matters to attend to," I said.


    She shed a gentle smile. Not speaking further, she then made her way to the office while carrying


    the documents. I tagged along. Strangely, it felt as if I had been granted ess to the office by


    her...


    Hendrix was sitting at his desk, reviewing the documents. Este stood beside him, quietly waiting


    for him to sign them. After vetting the stack of documents, Hendrix raised his hand. Este then


    passed him a pen she had prepared. Both of them did not say a single word. While working, they


    had a great tacit understanding of one another.


    I stood still beside the door, staring nkly at them. I felt they had such great chemistry.


    Three minutester, Hendrix raised his head and gazed at me. "Aren''t you tired of standing?" he


    said while raising his eyebrow.


    I said smilingly, "Isn’t Miss Zanes standing too? I guess I shouldn''t be sitting then."


    He seemed to get the hint. He frowned. Then, he looked at Este and said, "You may leave now.


    I''ll get someone to send these documents to you


    once I’m done."


    Este looked at me. After that, she nodded and said, "Okay!"


    She then smiled and hade me goodbye.


    It was so quiet the minute Este left. It was close to pin-drop silence.


    After a while, Hendrix said, "Prolonged standing is bad for you."


    I raised my eyebrow as I leaned against the door. "No worries, Mr. Roberts," I said. "I''ve always


    been in a good state of health. A few minutes of standing won’t hurt me. You''re as busy as a bee. I


    can''t just barge in to your room."


    He frowned. Then, he stood up and looked at me. "Arianna, do you have to talk weirdly like this?"


    Iughed. "Am I being weird? It seems that you don’t even feel fancy talking to me now. Okay then,


    Mr. Roberts. Carry on with your work. I won''t disturb you then."


    After that, I turned around and left.


    Hendrix was not someone who held a grudge for long. He quickly came over to stop me. Looking


    me in the eyes, he uttered, "Come on, you know that’s not what I meant."

    I smiled. I didn''t look the slightest bit annoyed. "No worries, carry on with your work."


    He grabbed hold of my wrist and said, "Let''s clear the air. I took offense because you met Sebastian


    despite knowing what sort of person he is. I was mad because I had been worrying about you. Why


    can''t you understand?"
