"Don't go."Grabbing onto him, I turned around and looked at Theo with a determined expression. "Neil's my guest. You're not allowed to chase him away."Looking at me with displeasure in his eyes, Theo then threw a glare at Neil who was behind me before turning around and entering the room without saying anything.I poked my head out and saw that Theo had already entered the room. Thus, I turned around and winked at Neil. "Let's go."I led Neil into the dining room. He looked at a table filled with food and said to me, "Did you cook all of this?""Yes. Quick, take a seat. I'll go grab some cutlery.""Then, let me help too," Neil said and was about to follow me into the kitchen but I stopped him. "No need for that. Just sit down." I shot him a look, asking him to interact with Theo more before entering the kitchen.I deliberately took my time to give them more time to interact with one another.However, Theo's voice came booming not long after, "Do you need that long to grab t
After Neil left, I went up to check on Theo.Pushing open the door to the study, I saw Theo looking up before looking away again when he saw me.It was as I expected.I closed the door and went downstairs to cut up some more fruit before bringing it up and placing it on the table. "You didn't have any just now. Eat some?"He immediately looked away from me and was unwilling to speak.What a petty and difficult man. I muttered silently. He actually guessed that I was complaining and said, "Don't think I don't know that you're complaining about me silently."I could not help being taken aback and let out a few coughs to cover up my embarrassment, "How could I dare? Will President Grant let bygones be bygones? Just take a bite."Picking up a small piece of fruit, I placed it near his mouth. Finally, Theo softened and he opened his mouth to eat it. "This means you forgive me now." I raised my brow, looking forward to his response with a smile on my face.After he was done eatin
From that day forward, I no longer tried to reconcile the brothers. Neil did not contact me again either, probably because he understood that it would be hard on me. The project between Grant Corporation and Pristine Group was also proceeding in an orderly manner. Everything was back on track again.Today, I arrived at Green Orange as usual. When I entered the office, I saw Shannon at her place. She seemed to have arrived a long time ago, but I did not hear her come up to greet me as she usually would.Confused, I leaned forward and patted her on the shoulder. "What are you thinking about so early in the morning?"Shannon looked at me, her eyes bags dark. I was surprised. Sensing that something was off, I hurriedly asked, "What happened?" She did not answer me and just fished out a certificate from her bag. "A divorce certificate? You and Jordan got a divorce?!"I shouted in disbelief. Shannon merely nodded at me. "Yes. We're divorced." "Why so sudden? Did he cheat?" Shan
"Did you forget that you asked me to look into Neil Hendersohn last time?"At Marius' reminder, I recalled that I had indeed done so. However, I thought about how there was not much of a need for it and ended up forgetting. "Are you saying you found something?" I asked. Marius laughed. "It's not anything big. I just checked if what Neil said was the truth. His mother abandoned him and the news back then revealed that the Grants had adopted an orphan. It's probably him."If that was the case, it was reasonable for the Grants to have supported Neil.I nodded repeatedly before sighing. "Neil is very pitiful. Yet, Theo still refuses to accept him.""He's the child of a mistress, after all. I understand President Grant."I tilted my head and looked at Marius, smiling. "It seems your relationship with Theo has been good recently."Marius coughed when he heard this and waved his hands, "I can rest assured as long as he treats you well. With that, it's not difficult for us to coexist
We passed Nibel and Keith when we were leading Shannon away, and they obviously saw us.When I looked over at them, a trace of panic flashed across Keith's calm visage.Why… would he panic?I did not have the chance to think too much about this, though. I had to take Shannon and leave this place. Shannon was still spitting a few words on the way. I sighed and replied, "It won't be good for the child if she goes back like this. You should let Shannon stay a night at your place for the night." "Alright," Marius replied easily.After we settled Shannon at Marius' apartment, both of us sat down on the sofa to rest.Recalling Jordan's cold expression back at the bar, my mood worsened. "I didn't think Jordan was this kind of person."When he accepted Shannon back then, I thought he had truly fallen for her to have gotten together with her and married her. Now, he said he did not love her. What the heck was that?!"If he didn't love her, he shouldn't have married her and have had
Shannon went on a vacation with her son to fix her emotions. Hence, things at the company were left to Marius and me. Fortunately, Shannon sent me photos every day. In the photos, her smile was bright and that assured me quite a bit.As usual, I was at Green Orange working today when Marius hurried in with a document. "Sis Wan, quick. Look at this." "This is the sales report for Golden-O. Why do you have it?" I looked up and asked after looking at the document. "You can find it anywhere on the internet now.""How did a secret document like this get leaked?" I flipped through it. "The numbers are actually getting worse?"Marius came to my side and turned on my computer screen before pulling up the day's trending news for me to see. "Look. This is it."[Flower Facial Cream. Why did Wolfe Group choose to release a new product at this time?]Flower Facial Cream was a long-time brand under Wolfe Group and was deeply loved by the public. Their release directly affected Golden-O's
Theo faced me with a smile. "It's fine. Just let Keith go. If he's clean, then his conscience will be clear."I seemed to have understood something from that. Theo was using this to test Keith to see whether he was in the clear or if he would hide.I nodded. "Then we'll wait." Keith soon came in while grabbing a piece of paper which he handed to Theo. "President Grant, this is the list of people who came to adjust the surveillance cameras in the last three months.""Alright, you can go.""Yes."After Keith left, I went to Theo's side and looked through the list. "There are quite a lot of people.""Yes. Mostly, it’s the copywriting department and design department that are the most prone to leaks. The team leader would often conduct investigations," Theo said calmly. I saw Keith's name for the last time. "He also went to look through the surveillance. Keith didn't hide that fact, so that means it's not him."Covering the form, Theo's expression turned thoughtful. "I don't bel
Two copies of the contract termination letter were prepared, and the process of obtaining both signatures and fingerprints was very straightforward.Finally, Theo requested Keith to send Nibel off. I took a look at Theo before finally choosing to follow him out as well. Despite being a distance away from them, I could clearly see the gaze Nibel was using to look at Keith. It was as if he were extraordinary.It was no longer as unfamiliar as before, and there seemed to be a lot in that gaze. I observed them for a bit before choosing to return to the office to prevent them from seeing me.I picked up the contract termination letter and looked over it before turning to Theo. "Theo, won't it be difficult for you to explain to the shareholders if you terminate the contract this hastily?""Nibel coming here means that he’s determined. Even if we didn't agree with him, so what?"I could hear a hint of helplessness in Theo's voice. I was similarly powerless. Standing in front of t
