My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 1145

Stunned by his question, I asked, "There is no garage under the base and no warehouse either. What's wrong?"

He frowned slightly. "The way it's built makes it seem like there is something inside such buildings!"

Probably thinking of something, he did not say anything else for a while before he changed the subject. "Let's have lunch together?"

I shook my head. "No, I..."

"Are you going to avoid me all the time?" He raised his eyebrows. "After all, we are partners. It's normal for work partners to invite each other to have a meal together, isn't it?"

I knew his temperament. If I continued to refuse him like this, he would probably find other ways to follow me. So I nodded reluctantly, "Well, there is a restaurant at the back of the base, it's not that good, but it's enough to fill the stomach. I still have to work after lunch, so we can't waste time going to other restaurants!"

He nodded and said, "Okay!"

The restaurant behind the base was not very big. To eat at the hotel was a hassle, as it was quite a distance from the base. It would've taken more than an hour to travel back and forth.

Therefore, Sebastian built a temporary restaurant behind the base and hired a chef to cook for the employees. It was really convenient.

We found a seat and sat down. Irvin placed some juice in front of me, "It's freshly squeezed!"

"Thank you!"

After walking for a while, Irvin said, "There's no need for you to treat me this way. Arianna, I didn't mean to destroy your happiness. If possible, I hope we can get along well. Is that okay?"

I stopped to look him in the eye, "Do you think we can get along well after all that's happened?"

He looked at me emotionlessly but sounded sincere. "I know that you don't want to get involved with me because you are afraid that I will destroy the happiness between you and Hendrix. My affections are a burden. You don't have to tell me this. I know it very well!"

I pursed my lips and didn't answer him. What he said was true.

After a pause, he said, "In fact, I wish for your happiness more than anyone else. I originally thought that Hendrix was a cold man without feelings. I thought if he couldn't give you happiness, I could. But now I see that Hendrix treats you well. In fact, he's not as bad as I thought. So why can't I give you my generous blessing? I'll protect you well, as a friend. As long as you're happy, I won't disturb your life anymore."
