I followed her gaze and looked over. I was momentarily stunned.
Elena?
Was she not supposed to be in Whaldorf City? What was she doing in Hommiton City?
Shannon crossed her arms and began to analyze, "There's a neighborhood with villas around here. Even though we’re far from the city center, many low-key tycoons like buying houses here. A woman of her standard would be really famous if she were a local, so she most certainly isn’t a local. Judging from her aura, she looks nothing like a sugar baby either. She's probably a capable woman who bought a house around here."
I looked at her and thought that she really had the potential to be a detective.
"The heavens are so unfair.” Shannon lamented.
I burst out laughing. "She’s the head of Grant Corporation's intelligence team. Theo specially invited her from abroad. She's talented and beautiful. She's no doubt the subject of envy of all women.”
"Huh?” Shannon was astounded. "You’re saying she works for Grant Corporation?"
I nodded. "Why?”
"You're damn generous!" Shannon looked speechless. "Aren't you worried that Theo would be snatched away by an unrivaled beauty like her? One who's always turning rounds beside him?"
After saying that, she stared fixedly at Elena as she stood outside the restaurant.
I smiled and said a little sourly, "I can accept it if she ends up with Theo. After all, a man like Theo needs to be with an outstanding woman like her."
"Stop saying that!"
Shannon put down her cutleries and said exasperatedly, “You're killing me. I've never seen a woman offering her husband like that. What's more, he's an outstanding husband too. I really have no idea what you're thinking of."
I did not want to talk about this topic and quickly took a piece of meat out of the pot. I put it on her plate. "Eat, or the meat is going to get too dry.”
