She looked at the slightly pale-looking Elena and asked a little helplessly, "Do you often watch them display their affection to each other, Ms. Mandez?”
Elena pulled the corners of her somewhat stiff mouth. "I'm not sure because I
typically work in Whaldorf City and rarely see Ms. Lane."
Shannon frowned slightly. "Don’t all the Grant Corporation employees call her Mrs. Grant?"
"Ms. Lane and I rarely see each other. I haven't gotten used to calling her that yet," Elena said nonchalantly.
The corners of Shannon's mouth twitched a s she gave me a sideways glance.
I did not take the hint and merely looked blankly at her.
She helplessly sighed seeing how clueless I was.
Shannon stopped talking after that and started eating quietly.
"Eat this." Shannon put food on my plate.
After putting food on my plate, she glanced at Elena and accidentally bumped the glass on the table when she withdrew her hand, spilling the water in the glass on Elena's skirt.
She cried out and quickly wiped Elena's skirt for her, apologizing while wiping, "I'm really sorry, Ms. Mandez. Why don’t you go t o the washroom to clean yourself up?"
The skirt was expensive, and Elena was inevitably heartbroken. She glanced at Shannon in displeasure but did not say anything.
She then went to the washroom. Shannon ignored the fact that Theo was still around and looked at me, saying, "Can't you tell that this woman is interested in your man, Ms. Wanda Lane?"
I subconsciously glanced at Theo. Seeing the faint and unreadable expression on his face, I said faintly, "Ms. Mandez is an exceptional lady."
