My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Hendrix took over the phone and guessed that I was crying. He reassured me in a soothing and soft voice, "She's doing fine here. All is good. Ian and the others are taking good care of her." I nodded, choking with sobs, "Thank you, Hendrix!"

From the other end came his helpless laughter. He said, "You and I are together, and Anne is my daughter. You don't have to say thank you."

I couldn't help but laugh. I took a deep breath and said, "When all the projects are done, I'll go back and live a happy life with you and Anne!" He answered with a low and magnetic voice, "I'll wait for you!"

I smiled and recalled what had happened at the base. I paused for a while, "Hendrix, after the machines were stolen from the base, did you get any leads?"

My sudden change in subject got him thinking for a moment. He then replied, "There's no useful information for now. What's the matter? What did you find out?"

I nodded, "It's about the walls in the base. There was no echo when the normal brick wall was knocked on and that only happened with the partition walls. However, the walls at the back of the base are soundproof. I looked carefully today. The wall is at least one meter wide. How can a normal wall be so thick?"

He was silent for a while before he replied, "You don't have to worry about it. Let Evan take care of it. You can just continue to lead the project. The Roberts Group will finish up as soon as possible and they will try to hold a press conference as soon as they can."
