My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I was so furious with his words that I couldn't breathe. I argued, "Roberts Group merged with Shelley Group last year, it's now one big company. Since you are the auditor of Roberts Group, naturally you will be handling all of Roberts Group's auditing, including Shelley Group's."

He chuckled twice and said, "Miss Reid, you're overthinking!"

What the f*ck!

I had fallen into this b*stard's trap, a big trap.

"Kelsey, see him off!" I ordered in anger. At the sight of him, I really had the strong urge to beat him up.

I would have to discuss this matter with Hendrix. I felt that it was too chaotic and too easy to get into trouble.

Seeing that I was asking him to leave, Sawyer held the lunch box, stood up, and said, "Miss Reid, don't try to get rid of Brilliant Audit. We have already signed the contract just now." Instantly, my anger flared even higher.

"Get out!" I yelled. I couldn't hold back my rage anymore after suppressing it for an entire morning.

"Miss Reid, take care of your health." After saying that, Sawyer laughed aloud as he left.

I felt my head spin and collapsed in my seat. Wouldn't it be knocking at an open door if the auditing of a single company was handled by two auditing firms?

"Miss Reid, why don't we leave this to Alford Audit? Mr. Clark seems to be untrustworthy in my opinion," Kelsey suggested just then.

Of course, I knew that Sawyer wasn't trustworthy, but Hendrix had the intention to hand over Roberts Group's auditing to him.

After a pause, I replied, "I'll have to discuss with Hendrix."

Too many things had piled up together, causing my headache to worsen. I remembered that Monique's matter had not been resolved. Moreover, I didn't know if Hendrix would help Monique or not.

After contemplating it, I packed up my things and said to Kelsey, "Keep an eye on Sawyer. I'll ask Hendrix about this. As for the business trip, see which places need to be examined. Sort it out and then inform me about it."

Knowing that I was not in a good mood, Kelsey asked worriedly, "Miss Reid, are you okay?"

I shook my head in response and left the office with my bag. Hendrix had taken my car, so I could only ride a taxi to the police station.

As the case had not made any progress yet, Monique had to be detained in the police station for fifteen days until the results came out.

I went to the police station and found the police officer who had interrogated Monique the day before. I asked about the specifics of the situation and learned that there was not much progress being made. Just as Josiah had predicted, the surveillance cameras were coincidentally broken on that very night, hence they couldn't find any evidence or clues.

Therefore, I couldn't visit Monique. I could only wait until the investigation was over.

I had no choice but to go to Telepathy Bar. When I took a taxi there, the bar was sealed and nobody could enter.

The social network was complicated and divided into ranks. If I tried to help Monique on my own, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find any hard evidence.

I thought that Hendrix would come to these two places, but I was too naive. When Hendrix phoned me later that day, I was sitting at the entrance of the bar, lamenting.

It was a bit noisy on the other end of the call when I answered, but his voice was very clear as he asked, "Where are you?"

"At the company." I knew he would be displeased if I told him that I was at the bar, so I lied.

Still, in the next second, my lie exposed. His cold voice sounded from the other end, "Since when did the company look so dilapidated?"

I was dumbstruck. When I looked up, I saw my car's license plate number. Hendrix's eyes were fixed on me and his expression was indifferent. His cold eyes stared down at me. Oops.

I had even wondered why it was noisy on the other

end of the call. It turned out...
