My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 285

Hendrix got so angry that he started laughing and asked, "Are you even a woman, Arianna?"

"Wouldn't you know if I'm not a woman?" I waited at the front of the elevator doors and went straight in

when they opened.

He followed into the elevator, but he didn't continue with our conversation.

At a German restaurant downtown.

I ordered quite a lot of food. Hendrix stared at me as I dug into the appetizers, only looking away after

some time.

I always knew that he always thought that beer wasn't sophisticated enough for him, and most of the

German restaurants only served beer and cheap wines. So, German food definitely wouldn't be on his

list of favorite cuisine.

I finished the appetizers, and I had to wait for the main courses to be served. While waiting, I felt a little

bored, so I took out my phone to look at it.

Hendrix took it away and repeated what he had said before, "Too much screen time is not

good for your eyes."

I pursed my lips and didn't bother to argue with him.

However, looking at the insufferable look on him, I couldn't help but urged, "If you really can't stand it,

you can always go eat at the Italian restaurant next door and meet me after dinner."

I suggested it out of pure concern for his wellbeing, simply thought that he and I both would feel at ease

in such a case. However, he only looked at me coldly and said, "Hurry up and eat!"

At this moment, his cell phone rang. He looked down and frowned, "I'll take this."

I nodded and watched him leave the table with his phone.

It didn't take long for the main courses to be all served. Since Hendrix had refused to join me, I didn't

wait for him and enjoyed the food. It was indeed pleasant to eat without any interruption.

I looked in the direction where Hendrix had gone, and I saw him getting into the car with the phone. He

must have wanted to talk in a more quiet environment, hence going into the car.

Hendrix returned to our table about ten minutes later. I was already halfway through my meal by then.

He was sitting opposite me and looked uninterested in the food on the tables.

He asked again, "Austin and Josiah are celebrating tonight. Are you coming?"

"Where?" I asked.

"Paramount Hall."

Paramount Hall was the most profligate place in Jarold City. I had no interest in a place where men

spent lots of their money on women, and women found themselves a vault.

Hence, I dully replied, "Not interested."

He nodded, "Okay then."

For the rest of the meal, Hendrix really didn't take a single bite, only watching me eat.

In the end, I was already so full although there was still quite a lot of food left on the table. I was

ashamed of wasting so much food, but I couldn't exactly wrap it up and take it away.

I had no choice but to give up. Then, I looked at Hendrix and said, "Go get the bill."

He got up and went to the cashier to pay the bill silently. I followed behind him, and I let him hold my

hand when we walked out of the restaurant. While we were walking towards his car, he looked at me

and asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to walk around?"

I shook my head, "No." Remembering that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, I asked, "Aren't you going to eat

something?"

"It's okay," He paused and said, "Let's go back home."

He opened the car door for me. At that moment, my phone rang. I settled in the passenger seat before

answering the call. It was from Josiah.

"Arianna, is Hendrix busy?" Josiah asked.

Confused, I shook my head even though he couldn't see me. And I answered, "No, he isn't."

To which Josiah replied, and a hint of a smile could be heard in his voice, "We're in Paramount Hall. Do

you want to come and have some fun?"

I glanced at Hendrix. He had already started the car and drove in the direction of the villa.

I gave the invitation some thoughts, and then said to the phone, "Okay, we'll be there in a while."

Hanging up the phone, I turned at Hendrix and said, "Let's go to Paramount Hall." Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Hendrix quirked his eyebrows and turned around, heading towards Paramount Hall. He didn't ask

about my change of mind.

At the Paramount Hall.

On its third floor.

The music blasted so loud throughout the venue, and it could make people so exhilarated to be there. I

followed close behind Hendrix to the door of a private room.

He turned to look at me and said, "Stay with me at all times. We'll only be here for a while."

I nodded.

At that, Hendrix opened the door into the private room. It was dark inside, only dimly lit by the lights on

a small stage where a young girl was seen dancing.

Austin and Josiah both stood up when they saw us, and they asked the dancing girl to leave.
