Chapter 1380


    I could hear voicesing from inside the room. It was not particrly loud. The conversation


    revolved around work matters. About half an hourter, Este opened the office door and walked


    out of the room carrying a stack of documents. She seemed bewildered to see me. Then she said


    with a smile, "Mrs. Roberts, when did you arrive?"


    I smiled and said, "Well, I''ve been here for quite a while now. I did not go in as you guys were busy."


    "Mr. Roberts was reviewing documents," she said. "We have a lot on our tetely. Hence, he


    may not have much time for you. When we’re done, he''ll be able to spend more time with you."


    "Alright," I replied, giving her a small smile.


    Hendrix walked out of the room, likely because he heard my voice. He raised his eyebrows and


    shed a stifled smile when he saw me. "What did you bring over?"


    Holding up the food, I looked at him before directing my gaze at Este. "I heard that you have been


    preparing sweet snacks for Mr. Robertstely," I said. "The girls from the marketing department told


    me. I love sweet snacks. Do you have them prepared today? Can I have some?"


    The smile on her face stiffened for a moment. "I noticed Mr. Roberts didn''t eat lunch just now,” she


    replied. "So I gave him the snacks. He has a history of stomach problems. I''m worried that he may


    have a stomach ache if he goes without any food for too long. Why don''t youe over another


    day, Mrs. Roberts, and I''ll prepare some snacks for you as well."


    I smiled lightly and nodded. "Thank you so much," I said.


    Hendrix did not pay attention to our conversation. He sat down beside me and started unpacking


    the food. He frowned slightly when he noticed that Este was still chatting with me. "Alright, go do


    your work," he instructed.


    Este nodded. She quickly left, carrying the stack of documents.


    As I looked at her retreating figure, I could not help but think that she was a special girl.


    When Hendrix saw me staring at Este, he furrowed his brows and asked, "What'' s the matter?"


    I turned around and looked at him. I forgot the fact that he irked me this morning. "Is Evan going to


    stay in Oand for a long time?" I asked.


    He nodded. "It’s a huge project," he said. "He won''t be back anytime soon."


    As I looked at him, lowering his head and eating the food, I could not help but ask, "Is it yummy?"


    He paused at the sudden change of the topic and asked, "Why are you concerned about him


    though?"

    I pursed my lips and looked at him. "Is Este a good worker?" I asked.


    He frowned. He asked, seemingly confused, "It sounds like something is wrong. What'' s the matter?


    Aren''t you close with her?"


    "What?" I was a little surprised. I wondered what I had done that led Hendrix toe to such a


    conclusion.


    He raised his eyebrows at me. "I guess I''ve mistaken," he said. "Anyway, Secretary to the Chairman


    is not an important post. I''ll dismiss her in a few days."


    How insouciant could he get? I frowned and said, "You can''t just promote someone and then have


    them fired for no obvious reasons. The rest of the employees may secretly judge you. Since she''s a


    good worker, just let her stay. She''s good as long as she can deliver her work on time."


    I guessed I had been overly sensitive.


    After a few bites, his phone rang. He had some work matters to attend to, so hethen busied himself


    with work again. Since he was about to get off work soon, I decided to wait in the office so that we


    could visit Anne together.


    As my mind started to wander, I was taken aback to find a document appearing before me. I raised


    my head and saw Hendrix standing over me. "Can you do me a favor, my dear wife?" he said.


    "Send this document to the finance department."
