My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel 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?

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

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."
