My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

We returned in low spirits when we got off the plane, without any agreement in hand. We saw Hendrix waiting at the exit and just smiled at him.

On the way back, we told him what had happened in Andoland and how we felt helpless about it. "The purchase deal is bound to fail. Quinn knew about our plan. The other companies are most probably watching on our every move. It'll be hard for us to do anything. We have to think of something else."

Hendrix was focused on driving and remained very calm. "There's no need to rush."

After a moment of silence, he slowly asked, "Do you want to head back and rest or have something to eat first?"

"It doesn't matter. You decide." Just thinking about what Quinn did to us made me really angry.

Before he could answer, Anne interrupted, "Dad, could you drop me off here? I want to head back to the club."

Hendrix glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Aren't you tired?"

Anne shook her head. "Andoland is nearby, so the journey wasn't very tiring. Quinn's men have been coming around the club recently and I'm afraid that the staff would feel uneasy if we aren't around." Hendrix kept quiet and silently turned the car towards the direction of the club.
