My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

She smiled forcefully and said, "Director, that's not what I mean. You know I rarely bring up my private life with people in the company. Besides, the female employees were told that we can't get married nor have kids in the first five years joining the company."

No doubt, the Roberts Group was a good company. But when Dalton first started the company, he considered how the marital and maternity leave entitled to female employees might affect their job performance. As a result, he laid down a rule for female employees to not get married nor have kids for the first five years after being employed.

That rule was unreasonable in the first place, so when Hendrix took over the company, he didn't stress to execute that rule. But since it was set by his grandfather, Hendrix couldn't just remove it from the system. Even so, he wouldn't make things difficult if a female employee came up to him to apply for marital or maternity leave.

However, that was Kelsey's private life, and it wouldn't be appropriate if I asked any further. So I smiled and said, "It's fine if you don't want to share. I'm just curious."

After handing over the documents, I said to her, "Go ahead and do your work. Since Hendrix has decided to personally monitor Alford Audit's matter, you should spend more time and energy on it. Not to mention, you also have to conclude Brilliant Audit's auditing report."

"Sure!" she replied.

Seeing that she went out of the office, I looked up at the clock. It was already noon.

I felt strange. According to Hendrix's recent behavior, he should have already come to take me to lunch by this time.
