When I got home that evening, it was already late, but I noticed that the light in the study was on and knew that Theo was inside."Can I come in?" I knocked on the door and asked softly."Come on in.”I could hear the exhaustion in Theo's tone. He must have been busy today.I pushed open the door and saw him sitting at his desk, his head buried in paperwork. I had wanted to ask him about the issue regarding the Golden-O counterfeits, but seeing him so busy, I decided to leave first.Theo had not returned to the room by the time I stepped out of the bathroom. I went to make a cup of tea before stepping into the study once again. “Have some tea to refresh yourself.”"Thank you."Theo looked up at me quickly, the corners of his mouth curving upward slightly before lowering his head again to go back to work.I did not want to disturb him but wanted to accompany him. Thus, I went back to the room and grabbed my laptop before plopping myself onto the bean bag to deal with some work.

"This is…"Theo nodded at me again, the smile on his face never fading. "Do you understand now?"I did. I just did not think Theo would do this. "President Grant, Mr. Nibel is waiting for you in the conference room," Keith came in and announced."Alright." Theo looked at me. "Would you like to go together?" I hurriedly kept the documents. "Yes." In the conference room, Nibel's strong, handsome features were immediately bright when he saw me appear with Theo. "You're really a mysterious man, President Grant. Pristine's share price saw a massive bounce back today. Following the heat of the news, I believe it'll become much higher than before. There's also progress with Golden-O's sales."Sure enough, profit affected emotions. Nibel's attitude today was quite different from his attitude yesterday.Theo only smiled at that. "It's nothing. I allowed the matter to stew a few days for this breakout today. I trust you understand the reasoning.""Yes. I feel relieved with this and h

I did not see Keith's silhouette for the first time ever upon arriving at Grant Corporation. Just when I was going to open the door, Theo stepped out. "Why didn't you come in since you're here?" I turned my gaze to Keith's seat. "I came here today for Keith specifically, but he's not here." "He took the day off today." Theo placed the documents he brought out on Keith's table before pulling me into the office.Keith had never taken a day off from what I remembered. He was always on call even if he were on leave. Seeing my deep frown, Theo snapped his fingers and called me back. "What are you thinking about?""I'm thinking about Keith.""You're thinking of other men in front of your husband?" Theo's brow was slightly raised, and he sounded a little jealous.I watched the corners of his mouth curl upward. "Oh, it's not like that." "What’s going on? You just said you came here for Keith, and then you're thinking about him."There was the apparent smell of jealousy in the ai

After saying goodbye to Tyler and Susan, I thought of looking for Kieth and Nibel again. Thinking about how big the hospital was and how my attempts would be futile, I gave up on the idea and went toward the entrance. What I never would have expected was to meet Nibel at the entrance. He also saw me and was faintly stunned before he smiled and greeted me. "President Lane, fancy seeing you here." I suppressed my complicated expression and responded to him, "Yes, I was accompanying my sister-in-law to her check-up. My brother just arrived. I’m about to leave since I’m no longer needed. What about you Mr. Nibel? Are you unwell? Or are you visiting someone?"Nibel smiled softly. I could tell he was coming up with something to say in his head.He let out a few coughs, perhaps to relieve his embarrassment. He then said, "Yes, I'm here to see a friend. His family is sick, so I came to visit.""I see you've good friends in Hatton too, Mr. Nibel."It was obviously just an ordinary comm

After leaving the cafe, I went straight back home.Caroline was surprised to see me when I came back. "Madam, why are you back so early today?" "I figured I'd make Theo dinner since I didn't have much to do today. You can go home early too, Caroline." Caroline used to live here quite often in the past, but since Nina and Jason got married recently, she went back two to three times a week to help Nina with her health."Alright. Thank you, Madam." "No worries. You hurry back home.""Alright. The fridge is stocked." "Okay." I smiled as I watched Caroling remove her apron before leaving the villa cheerfully.I first carried the children out to the sofa in the living room to let them play on it. Theo had customized the sofa so I did not need to worry about the children falling down.Seeing them crawling around happily, I went back into the kitchen to start cooking.After two hours, I was finally done preparing everything. Seeing that it was almost time, I grabbed my phone an
