Hearing that, Hendrix's face darkened immediately. He scorned, "You don't have time to quarrel with me?" His voice was menacingly cold. "What do you have time for? Cherish and reminisce about the garbage that Aaron gave you?"
As he was in a fit of rage, he didn't hold back on the strength he used on pinning me down. I was in so much pain that I almost couldn't breathe. "Ow! Hendrix! It hurts!"
He didn't let go of me, but he did loosen his grip. "Oh, so you can still feel pain."
At this point, Hendrix was simply being ridiculous. Disgruntled, I pushed him away. "Hendrix, you might think these things are trash, but they are very precious for me!"
I didn't want to talk much with him, so I turned around and went back to the front door for the ring.
As expected, Aaron put the ring in the muffin. I picked it up and went to the basin to clean up all three pieces of accessory at once.
I was almost calmed down after the cleaning. I came out from the kitchen and saw Hendrix. He was sitting in the living room, looking at me coldly. I knew that he was angry, so I said gingerly, "These things-"
Before I could finish my words, Hendrix brought his phone to his ears and spoke to the person on the other end in a cold tone, "Evan, empty all the accessories shops in Jarold City. Also, bring all the latest products for this season to the South Hill Villa."
I didn't know what Evan replied.
But Hendrix's voice was even colder than before, "Just do as I say."
Then, he hung up the phone after giving some more instructions for the other businesses.
I listened to the entire conversation, and I really had no idea what to feel about his recent immature behaviors. At last, I sat down opposite of him, and I gave him a thumbs-up. I just had to give it to him, "Mr. Roberts, nice move!"
As I said that, he looked at me. There was something in his eyes that I couldn't read. "You can tell me whatever you want in the future. Whatever you want, I'll give it to you."
I was quite sorrowful at first, but Hendrix's words almost made me laugh out loud. He really had been acting out of sorts recently.
Another conflict averted, Hendrix and I talked for a bit more before Evan came knocking at the door. It wasn't even an hour since Hendrix had called him.
Evan entered the villa, bringing a team of people with him, and all of them were carrying intricate suitcases.
Evan had been working for Hendrix for too long. He wore the same expressionless cold look on his face, and he went up to Hendrix, "Mr. Roberts, here are the latest products for this season."
Hendrix nodded as an acknowledgment, and he looked at me with quirked brows, "Go see if there's anything you like. You can keep what you pick."
