My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 701

Hendrix was worried that I would be criticized when facing the company's shareholders, so he asked me to stay back in the office.

As a matter of fact, it would not hurt me. Some things needed to be dealt with, and it was not possible to hide forever.

Hendrix was worried that my emotions would be affected, so he arranged for Evan to stay by my side.

I read the headlines again before putting my phone down. Then, I got up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window. I could clearly see the reporters surrounding the Roberts Group's building.

"Madam, there are a lot of famous works in the lounge. You could take a look at them," Evan suggested. He who didn't understand women had thought that the best way to comfort them was to change topics.

I smiled faintly and turned back to look at him. "Jarold City is filled with celebrities, yet they spend so much energy crowding around the Roberts Group. Don't you think that's a waste of resources?"

He pursed his lips and did not reply.

After I sitting around for a while, Hendrix entered with a torrid look on his face.

When he saw me looking at him, his furrowed brows eased and he waved at me. I walked up to him, and he tugged at me to sit down, saying, "Don't worry, it's no big deal!"

I nodded and did not make any comments. Anything that could make him frown was no trivial matter. These rumors did not only affect the people involved, but it sank its nasty teeth into the company as well.

What listed companies were most terrified of was the ruination of their spokesperson's image in the eyes of the public, and Hendrix had always been the image of Roberts Group, although there was no way to portray it.

But his natural kingliness, his calm and dignified behavior, brought a sense of security to the stock market.

He brought me to the company because he was worried that I would feel depressed in the villa after seeing the news and no one would be there to care for me.

"Okay!" I only answered him with one word.

Evan handed him the documents and materials on the fall of the stock market share of Roberts

Group in just a few hours.

I nodded. I lied on the bed in the lounge, but there was no way I could fall asleep.

I opened the financial website for the first time. As expected, many experts had begun to analyze the after-effects of the Roberts Group's crisis.

Some experts stated that the Roberts Group had encountered three crises within half a year. The news this time was starting to heat up. If Hendrix could not handle the problem well, Roberts Group was expected to collapse.

Some also said that the crisis experienced by the Roberts Group might be another turning point for the company's development. In four years, Roberts Group had peaked; talent-, political- and social-wise. It was difficult for Roberts Group to reach another breakthrough.

No matter what the outcome was, it all depended on how Hendrix handled this crisis.

After pondering for a long time, I decided to call Irvin. He gave me his phone number many years ago as a way to come to my aid, should I ever need it. Hence, as long as I made a call, he would answer it no matter what.

And he did as he promised. A few seconds after I called him, he answered, his voice deep. He seemed to be busy and did not wait for me to speak first.

He immediately said, "If I said the rumors regarding those photos had nothing tO do With me, would you believe it?"
