Hendrix seemed to have calmed down. He placed both his lands on the desk while his body launched over. His head was lowered as well, and he looked miserable.

Dan wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say

Just when he was hesitating, Hendrix suddenly asked, "Do you have cigarettes?"

This stunned Dan for a moment. After a while, he reacted and recalled that Hendrix had stopped smoking

a while ago. He didn't hesitate and quickly gave him his cigarettes. It's not from your previous brand. Do you need me to get another for you?"

"No need," Hendrix said while taking out a cigarette.

Dan quickly handed him the lighter.

Hendrix lowered his head, but the cigarette between his fingers remained unlit for quite a while.

It was because his hand kept... trembling.

Dan couldn't help but tremble as well. Fortunately, in the next moment, Hendrix finally lit his cigarette. Dan let out a sigh of relief.

Hendrix sat back down in the chair, stared at the smoke ring in the air for a while, and then said, "She's getting married."

His words left Dan stunned. Then, he immediately understood who Hendrix was referring to.

Pausing for a moment, he said, "Mr. Freeman, if you can't let her go, why don't you meet her?" Hendrix simply let out a soft laugh.

Dan had been working with Hendrix for a long time. Since Hendrix joined Amity Group, he had always been by his side. In the past, he could more or less grasp Hendrix's thoughts, but at this moment, he completely couldn't understand him.

"Her w

wedding dress is quite beautiful," Hendrix suddenly said again. "Even more so than when she married me."

As he spoke, he reached out to grab his phone.

Dan hurriedly picked it up from the floor.

Although the screen was cracked, the phone was still working.noveldrama

As soon as Hendrix unlocked his phone, Dan saw the wedding photo on the screen.

The white dress paired with the groom's black suit was indeed beautiful and quite a perfect match. But perhaps because the screen was cracked, the smiles of the couple locked somewhat distorted.

Dan's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

Hendrix suddenly looked at him and asked, "How is the Continental Reach project going now?"

"It's going smoothly. The nearby residential buildings are already being demolished, and it's expected..." "Let's stop it for now," Hendrix suddenly said.

His words scared Dan to death, and then, he looked at Hendrix unbelievably.

Hendrix wore a calm and composed expression. "This is a major project, and all procedures should be handled with utmost caution."

Dan instantly understood his words. Although the Continental Reach project was large, it only accounted for about 20% of Amity Group's work for the year. But for Noelle, it was different.

In other words, Amity Group could afford delays on this project, but Noelle couldn't. And Dan naturally understood the reason behind Hendrix's actions.

After a pause, he still spoke up, "Mr. Freeman, what you're doing... doesn't seem quite appropriate. Aren't you afraid you'll push Ms. Swanson further away?"

As soon as Dan finished speaking, Hendrix smiled. Then, he countered, "You think she's not already far from me now?"
