"It's okay, I understand," Josephine's voice came from the desk as she handed him a cup of tea.
Theodore took the teacup and said blandly, "I won't be eating with you tonight. Moses will pick you up tomorrow evening at seven."
"Okay."
Seeing that there were still a lot of pending documents on his desk, she said, "I'll leave you to work, and I'll be off. You have problems with your stomach so remember to drink the soup later. It won't taste good if it's cold."
"Mm, okay."
Theodore had always been a person of few words. In the past, she did not feel anything wrong about it, but recently, the image of him and Everleigh being together would always appear in her mind.
Was he also silent when he was with Everleigh?
Definitely not.
Humans were always greedy. She had felt that she only needed to keep Theodore by her side. Even if there was someone else in his heart, as long as that person could never come back, then it was as if that person never existed. However, once it was truly realized, she could not help but want more.
Once she had him, she wanted all of him, including his heart.
When she left his office, the secretary at the administration desk, June Lawson greeted her, "Goodbye, Miss Bailey."
Josephine nodded politely and stopped in front of the desk, "Miss Lawson, how much time has Mr. Godfrey spent in the company recently?"
June was slightly surprised, "Quite a lot. He was mostly in the company."
"Oh, it's nothing. I just want you to pay more attention, and remind him to remember to eat well. His stomach is not well. You should heat up the soup in the kitchen later."
"Yes, alright. I got it."
"Then, I'm leaving now. Sorry to trouble you."
"You're welcome. This is my responsibility."
After Josephine left, Moses came out of the pantry with a cup of coffee. He saw his cousin rolling her eyes at the administration desk, "If Miss Bailey saw you rolling your eyes, you'll lose your job."
June had quite the shock, but when she looked back and saw that it was Moses, she was relieved, "I just can't stand fake people. It's obvious that she wants to find out Mr. Godfrey's usual whereabouts, but she used a lot of excuses in a roundabout way. I really can't stand it."
"All women are like this, aren't they? If it was you, wouldn't you ask about your boyfriend?"
"There's nothing wrong with that if you're in a relationship, but they're going to get married soon. Why is she still so suspicious of everything? What's the point?"
Moses looked at her calmly and said, "If you could marry the heir of a prestigious family like the Godfrey family at this instance, but you'll never know the whereabouts of your fiance. Would you marry him?"
"Yes I would."
After replying without hesitation, June looked at Moses' disgusted gaze and said confidently, "He's a billionaire. If I don't marry him, I'm an idiot."
Moses replied calmly, "Obviously, many people think the same."
Including Josephine.
As night fell, two women laid side by side in the private VIP room of a beauty salon. Their faces were covered with masks, and some advanced beauty devices were attached to their bodies.
"What's wrong with you today? Are you in a bad mood again?" Josephine's friend, Amy, who was on the left glanced sideways, "Was your dear Mr. Godfrey involved in a scandal again?"
"What kind of scandal does he even have?" Josephine had a frustrated voice.
After leaving Theodore's office, she was very upset, so she invited her friend to the beauty salon for some treatments.
"All is good then. Mr. Godfrey is quite a clean person; he's already considered a special breed. He owns Godfrey Group. He could go out to enjoy himself with as many women he wants but there's no scandal at all. You should be happy about this."
"Just because he has no scandals doesn't mean that he has no one else in his heart."
