My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

I gritted my teeth and forced myself to sit up. Then I closed my eyes and recalled the scene that had just happened.

I was so close to finding out what Hendrix was up to. Was it Evan who knocked me out?

It was too late to recall the details, so I put on my coat and walked out. I only wanted to reach the hospital's basement as soon as possible to make sure that Hendrix was safe.

As soon as I opened the door, I ran into Aaron who was about to head downstairs.

"Where are you going at this early hour?" Aaron asked while rubbing his neck.

I paused for a moment and regained my composure. Then I put a hand over my mouth and pretended to yawn, saying, "The law firm has been receiving a lot of cases recently. I'm a little busy." "Really?" He shot back with a dubious, knowing look. A moment later, he lowered his head and continued his way down, complaining while walking, "Fabian really thought you've gone to work."

I felt helpless. Although the office was under the Reid family, I was, in fact, just an apprentice lawyer. Seriously, Aaron, what did this have to do with a genuinely hardworking man like Fabian? I sneered to myself.

I followed Aaron down to the living room. Emma and Charles were having breakfast in the dining room, so I said, "Dad, I don't have much of an appetite today. I'll leave for the company first. You guys enjoy breakfast," I said.
