Chapter 1606
Rowane didn''t respond for a long time, but I knew that she was a smart person. Rowane''s silence
proved that she was convinced by my words.
The friends around me were a huge influence, and I had been influenced by Freya. I became more
decisive. Therefore, I continued to say, "Miss Zanes, all of us believe in you, and in your
department''s abilities as well. But business will always be business. Regardless of his trust in you
and your team, as the leader of apany, Hendrix must take care of not only your team, but also
every other employee of thatpany. If your team shows no progress, we''ll eventually have to
shift to the other n and not continue to lose any more money. Let''s see how well you can do your
job then, Miss Zanes."
I hung up the phone after I finished speaking.
In fact, when I thought about it, having a boss like Hendrix could be quite a bummer sometimes. He
always looked at the results only. He never cared about the effort and process. If the team could not
reach Hendrix''s targeted goal, Hendrix would give up on them.

Rowane was a talent, but it did not mean that she was the only Al expert in the world. On the
contrary, only Roberts Group could give her the respect and status she enjoyed right then. I
believed that Rowane would know how to act in the future.
Since the acquisition of Eisen Company had begun, Roberts Group increased their shares of the
company by five per cent through the transfer of shares. At the same time, with the interference of
Denmiles'' government, an old air- conditionerpany from the country expressed their intention to
acquire Eisen Company. Since then, Roberts Group and the otherpany had beenpeting,
but the otherpany was at an advantage due to the distance and government policy.
In order toplete the acquisition, Hendrix and Evan went to Denmiles to negotiate in person.
On the third day, the official Twitter page of Denmiles released a piece of news, saying that the old
air- conditionerpany and Eisen Company had reached an agreement and were about to sign
the contract. Hendrix called me on the phone in the afternoon, and he sounded a little tired.
"Is it not going well?" I asked him.
"A little," Hendrix said with a deep sigh. He continued, "I''m already operating another n. If I
seed, we might still stand a chance."
"What''s the n?" I prompted.
"You''ll knowter. It''s not the right time yet," he said. Hendrix changed the subject. "How do you feel
these days? Do you have any symptoms of pregnancy?"
Perhaps because there was too much negative news about thepany recently, he needed some
good news to offset his bad mood. I paused for a moment before saying apologetically, "Nothing
yet. My appetite is still good. Everything is normal."
"Fine," Hendrix said casually, pretending not to be bothered by it. He added, "I was worried that you
wouldn''t be able to eat and sleep without me. Now it seems that I''ve been worrying too much."
"That''s right, Mr. Roberts. You think too highly of yourself," I retorted. I didn''t give in even a little.
My arrogant attitude had somehow provoked Hendrix, causing him to chuckle.
It was good that he couldugh. It meant that the situation was not too bad. Almost ten billion was
used to acquire the Eisen Company. If Hendrix failed to acquire it, in the future, Roberts Group
would face financing problems when starting otherrge-scale projects.
Hendrix continued, "It''ll only be less than a week''s time before I return. Take care of yourself at
home before that. The child should be prioritized. Do you understand?"
Dr. Jules had already reminded me thousands of times. How could I have forgotten? I replied, "Yes,
yes, I get it. You should be more worried about yourself. There are so many beautiful women in
Denmiles. Did you find any of them attractive? Are you nning to bring anyone back?"
Hendrix snorted and immediatelyughed on the phone. Heughed and teased, "Arianna, are you
jealous?"
I scoffed. "You''re overthinking. I''m interested in all the beautiful women, not you. I''m hanging up!"
