My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 75

I got out of bed and washed up. After that, I went downstairs and saw that Minnie had already filled the

table with mouth-watering dishes. When she noticed me, she smiled and it caused her eyes to squint.

She said, "You're awake. Come and have a taste, I've made quite a few dishes. See which one you

like, I'll cook more for you in the future."

I looked around and didn't see Hendrix. I was amazed when I sat at the table full of delectable foods. I

looked at Minnie and asked, "Minnie, isn't this too much?"

She shook her head with a chuckle and said, "Not at all, pregnant women should eat more. Mr. Roberts

said that you ate too little and should eat more."

"Where did he go?" I hadn't seen Hendrix since I had woken up.

"He went to the company. Someone has been ringing him and urging him to go to the company,"

Minnie told me. I nodded as I listened to Minnie's nagging. I ate while going over the day's plans for

work.

Considering the fact that I have been having some bad luck lately, I kept bumping into Austin, that

snake. It wasn't ideal for him to always see me arrive late for work.

After having a few bites, I was ready to leave. Minnie saw that I didn't eat much and was afraid that I

would be hungry, so she prepared a lunch box filled with some fruits for me to bring to work.

I felt sorry to refuse her, so I just brought it with me.

Fortunately, I didn't meet Austin in the company. As soon as I got out of the elevator, someone grabbed

my wrist and turned me around forcefully.

I felt my vision blur. Before I could even see clearly who the person was, a palm had already landed

heavily on my face.

A loud slap sounded.

The entire office turned silent.

The only thing I felt was the burning sensation on my cheek.

After a long while, I narrowed my eyes and peered at the woman in front of me who was so furious that

her face was twisted. Meanwhile, I was equally enraged.

"Arianna, you lied to me! How could you lie to me?" Pulling me violently, Andrea's face twisted to the

point that it was a little terrifying.

I lied to her?

Was she talking about the child?

Watching her raising her hand again, I lifted mine to stop her and replied in a chilly tone, "Miss Burton,

one should have their own limits. You can't act so arrogantly while being someone's mistress. Your skin

is as thick as an elephant's."

"You..." She wanted to say something, but the sound of hurried footsteps from outside the office rushed

in.

Before I could even react, Andrea abruptly shook off

my hand and then banged her head on a desk with quite a great deal of force.

When Hendrix, Austin, and a few other people had rushed in, what they saw was Andrea lying on the

ground in an awkward position with a lot of blood on her forehead.

While I, on the other hand, was standing over Andrea, perfectly fine.

It was a f*cking pity that she didn't pursue acting.

"Andrea, are you okay?" Austin helped Andrea get up on her feet and then accused me angrily,

"Arianna, you've gone too far."

I've gone too far?

I ignored him then looked at Hendrix's cold expression and said, "If I tell you I didn't push her, will you

believe me?"

Hendrix seemed infuriated. His dark eyes landed on the bloodstain on Andrea's forehead and his

intense gaze was ice- cold. Instead of answering, he bellowed, "Arianna, you must know your limits!"

I was not severely hurt by his words, but it felt like I was splashed with a bucket of cold water, chilling

me to the bone. Looking at Hendrix, I forced a smile and uttered, "I was truly naive!"

I was so naive to let his sweet acts the past few days deceive me. I had truly thought that he had

started to treat me differently.

What a joke!

Suppressing the bitterness in my heart, I walked up to Andrea and said to her, full of loath, "Next time,

plot your act more thoroughly, Miss Burton. Have Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

you ever seen someone be able to push a person so far? What's more, I am a pregnant woman."

"You..."

A sharp noise rang across the room. I didn't give her the chance to speak. My hand hurt after landing a

slap on her face. Seeing her press her hand to her reddening cheek, I sneered and added, "I'm

returning this slap to you. Since you want to be a mistress, then act like a mistress. Don't come here

acting like a clown."
