As a result of letting the news ferment, share prices for both Grant Corporation and Pristine Group fell lower and lower.I looked at Theo, who was still calm in his seat, and sighed. I pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down. I wanted to have a good chat with him. "Theo, this is not a solution. Even if you don't care about Grant Corporation’s share price, Nibel does. Have you figured out how to deal with this?”The moment I said this, Keith's voice sounded from outside the door. “President Grant, President Lane. Mr. Nibel is here."Here came condemnation.I looked at Theo with a worried expression. "Here he comes.”"Don't worry." Theo took my hand and patted it. There was not a trace of panic on his handsome face.He was being way too calm now.After Keith retreated, Nibel entered. His expression was none too good, and his blue pupils were full of sternness.Nibel strode into the office, and Theo stood up to greet him with a smile on his lips. "Mr. Nibel, long time no s
"Why didn’t you let me tell Nibel that we already had a solution?”I asked Theo after Nibel left.Could he still have his guard against Nibel?Theo looked in the direction Nibel had just left and did not seem to have heard my question."Theo?" I called out to him again.That pulled his mind back. He then looked at me. "What?”"I was asking you why didn't you let me tell Nibel that we already have a solution?”Theo lowered his gaze and said in a deep voice, "To surprise him." He finished that with a smile.As if I believed him.I wanted to ask again, but seeing that it was almost time, I had to stop. "I'm going back to Green Orange to deal with some things first. I'll interrogate you properly when I get home tonight.”"Be careful on your way.”If it were not for my trust in Theo, I would have released the clarification script a long time ago and false news about Grant Corporation would not be out there spreading around until now.Green Orange.The moment I stepped through t
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.
The next day, I deliberately went and bought a newspaper. The headlines were indeed a clarification statement from Grant Corporation. The content was pretty well drafted. I arrived at Green Orange in a good mood and immediately started up my computer to go through the news. Sure enough, every account was sharing the news.The counterfeit issue should pass with this, right? The office door opened. Shannon had also arrived. She eyed the newspaper on the table, her big eyes widening as she pointed to it and said, "Wanda, did you buy that?" "Yes. It's fresh out of the oven. You can take a look at it." "It's been so old since I bought newspapers." She picked them up, looked at them, and then pointed at the headline on the front page. "Listen here, many consumers have pointed out recently that there are counterfeits of Golden-O Face Cream which have caused skin problems. Our company will clarify this issue. There’s a mark of authenticity printed on the bottom of Golden-O Face C
"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
Nina gave us a lot of presents when she returned from her honeymoon. Marius also no longer needed to wear several hats after she came back. Life was good for a time. He played with the gift Nina gave him in one hand and looked to be in good spirits. "Excellent, I can sleep from now on." "You make it sound as if we abused you." Shannon threw a glance at Marius after she unpacked the presents.Marius turned his gaze to me. "Sis Wan's gift looks more expensive. I want to see it."Saying that, he came up to me and tried to touch my gift. "I haven't even opened it yet. Is it really your turn?" I slapped the back of his hand. Marius was aggrieved. "Then let me watch you open it.""No. Nina said it's for Theo and me. So I'm gonna look at it back home.""Friends are really nothing once people are in a relationship."Hearing Marius' murmur, I glared at him. He seemed sensible enough and closed his mouth, saying nothing else.Shannon suddenly yelled as if she recalled something. Ma
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
I was preparing to head back to Green Orange when Susan gave me a call. Come to think of it, it had been a long time since I saw her too. "Susan, long time no see.""Long time no see, indeed, Wanda. Do you have some time today?""Of course. Where are you? I'll go look for you." "I'm at the hospital."I was about to start my car but my hand paused on the wheel. "What? Why are you in the hospital? Where's Tyler?" Likely hearing the panic in my voice, Susan hurriedly replied, "Don't worry, it’s nothing big. Come over first. I'll wait for you here." "Alright." I arrived at the hospital and instantly saw Susan, who was standing at the entrance.I looked her over. "What's wrong, Susan? Are you not feeling well?" Seeing me so anxious, Susan could not help but smile. "I've just been a little tired recently. So…"She leaned into my ear and said to me softly. My shock when I first heard it turned to surprise. "Are you saying you're pregnant?" "Don't get so excited. I came fo
