My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 194

However, moving the headquarters to another place was easier said than done. I frowned and said, "Roberts Group is great in Ucrebury as it has been here for so many years. If you suddenly move the headquarters to Jarold City, I'm afraid that it'll be difficult to expand in a short time."

Hendrix rested his chin on my shoulder and nodded slightly. "Yes, but Roberts Group had a branch office there. It shouldn't be a problem."

I nodded and didn't say anything else.

I felt a little sleepy after sitting for a long time. So, I simply fell asleep leaning on him.

After being cooped up in the villa for two days, I couldn't stay indoors any longer. Therefore, I decided to go out for a walk.

I didn't have any female friends in Ucrebury other than Monique. Now that she was in the countryside, I couldn't replace anyone to take a stroll around with me.

After giving it a thought, I decided to go to the mall alone. It was still better than being at home.

As I parked the car nearby the mail's entrance, I saw Sawyer with a girl by his side. She looked a little familiar.

Then I remembered that it was the girl I saw with him in the supermarket last time, Stella.

The two of them walked toward the mall. Different from the last time at the supermarket, it seemed like Sawyer was accompanying Stella to shop at the mall this time.

Judging from their action, Sawyer looked like he quite enjoyed Stella's company. In fact, they appeared to be very intimate.

Perhaps my stare was too intense as Sawyer also noticed me. He was stunned when he saw me, and then he strode towards me.

He looked at me in glee and asked, "Are you here to buy something? Or are you meeting up with someone?"

Noticing Stella who followed closely behind him, I smiled faintly and answered, "I came out just for a walk."

"Do you want to dine with us?" Sawyer asked. While he was speaking, Stella had already leaned against him, holding onto his arm. I could see her reluctance from her action. I shook my head. "Thank you. But no."

They were out for a date. I, a pregnant lady, shouldn't join them.

Just as I was about to excuse myself, Sawyer stopped me. He said, "I insist. I have something to tell you too."

"Sawyer!" Stella got irritated, and she sounded cheated. "You promised to accompany me today. Plus, Miss Reid might want to walk around alone. Leave her be."

Sawyer frowned and turned slightly impatient. "I have something to discuss with her. Maybe you should go back first! I'll come with you another day."

Stella's face fell, and she glowered, "You promised Madam Lawson to accompany me today!"

"Stop bringing her up! It's annoying," Sawyer got mad too. "If you don't want to go back, you can continue shopping by yourself. I still have some matters to discuss with Arianna. So, I'll see you later." After that, he pulled me away and towards the shopping mall.

Stella trotted up and grabbed his sleeve. Her eyes were brimming red, and her tone was soft but sad, "Sawyer, I'm sorry. I won't disturb you. I can wait until you're done talking with her. Let's continue shopping later, okay?"

Seeing that Stella had stooped to compromise, I felt a bit sorry for her. I prised Sawyer's hand and said, "I have something to do too. We can talk about it another day. I'll leave you two alone."

Although located downtown, the shopping mall was huge. I went straight to the baby and children products department. Since Hendrix had almost finished preparing for the nursery, I only purchased a few small items after going through the area.

As soon as I walked out of the store, I met Sawyer, who was looking around. He saw me and said, "Let's go!"

I didn't see Stella, and I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where is your girlfriend?"

"She's not my girlfriend!" Sawyer denied.

Taking the cue, I stop prying. I wasn't that curious anyway.

I followed him to a steakhouse. He stopped at the entrance and turned around to look at me worriedly. "Maybe we should go to another place."
