My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 60

I furrowed my brows but did not speak as I waited for him to go on.

"The late payment caused Roberts Group to suffer a loss, which means that it is having problems with

the fund. Hendrix doesn't want to continue working with Alford Audit because if that shows up in the

annual audit, Roberts Group's stock will fall and the shareholders would panic."

I just kept frowning and stared at him. I asked, "But Hendrix didn't appoint your company to be the

auditor. Besides, I'm the director of the company. I should know better, right?"

He sneered and claimed, "Arianna, you're being too arbitrary!"

I stood up and did not want to continue the conversation anymore. "I've decided that the auditing firms

would bid for Roberts Group's annual audit project. Therefore, it's up to Brilliant Audit now. As for the

situation in Roberts Group, I think I should know better. Mr. Clark, you should go home and wait for the

news."

After saying that, I left the lounge and got in my car.

I started the car and recalled everything Sawyer had told me. There was a possibility that he might be

right but I would not believe his every word. Over the years, there were cases where Roberts Group

had suffered losses because of late payments.

Nevertheless, I could not rule out the possibility that there was something wrong with the funds!

I drove back to the office and surprisingly, Josiah was in my office. It seemed that he was waiting for

me.

He noticed me and placed down the magazine he was reading. He stared at me and asked, "How did it

go?"NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Not bad," I replied and glanced at the lunch box on my desk. I raised my eyebrow at it. "What is this?"

"Albert made some soup. It's good for morning sickness," he answered as he went to open the lunch

box.

Earlier that morning, he had given me some soup too. I had drunk some of it and indeed, I was not

nauseous. It seemed like the soup was effective.

"Thank you." I sat down and raised my eyebrow at him. I asked, "Are you just here to deliver the

soup?"

"No." Josiah was very frank as he questioned, "Have you found a suitable auditing firm?"

I shook my head, feeling frustrated about Roberts Group's annual audit. I stated, "I asked Kelsey to

compile a report. I'll filter through them after she's done."

He raised his eyebrow at this. "Have you ever thought about the result? What if Brilliant Audit did not

make it and Roberts Group ended up with Alford Audit?"

To be honest, it was highly possible that they would end up with Alford Audit. I raised my head to stare

at him and scowled. "Why is Hendrix trying to get rid of Alford Audit?"

"You should ask him." Josiah replied and added, "Hendrix has his own reasons to pick Brilliant Audit."

It was too complicated, hence I did not want to ponder about it. "I might have to go on a business trip

after selecting the audit firm. So, I'll need you to help me get some medicine to bring along."

I would be tired after getting to places. Josiah was a doctor, thus it would be safer to bring with me

some of the medicine he prescribed.

He nodded and motioned me to drink some soup or it would turn cold.

I had only taken a few sips when my mobile phone rang. It was Monique. It was already in the

afternoon and she should be awake.

I picked up the call but before I could speak, Monique's anxious voice came from the other end.

"Arianna, I'm at the police station. Hurry up and come!"

I was taken aback. How did she end up at the police station?

Before I could ask, she hung up. I grabbed my handbag and walked out hurriedly. Josiah stopped me

and asked with a frown, "What happened?"

"Monique is at the police station. I'll go and check on her!"

"I'll go with you!"
