Elena nodded with a smile. “Sure."
Her smile was warm, making her look very generous.
This had made the employees of Fredericks Corporations seem narrowminded. Cally's countenance suddenly sank.
Jordan looked at me and said coolly, "I think you should do it, Ms. Lane. How can our guests pour their own tea?"
I nodded and walked over to pour tea.
Elena had already stood up. When Theo saw that I was there to pour tea, he said to Jordan, “Don't be polite with me, Mr.
Fredericks. We’re going to be partners in the future. We’ll have to work together for a long time. There are many things we can't d o well if we’re too polite."
Jordan smiled slightly. "You're right, Mr. Grant. But this is our first formal meeting, s o the proper etiquette needs to be in place."
Theo nodded with a smile, then looked at Elena and said softly, 'Since Ms. Lane is willing, then you should let her do it. Your leg injury has not healed yet, so sit down and take a rest."
If these words were said on any other occasion, or in a private room where no one was around, or if someone else had said it, then it would not sound strange at all. However, these words came out of the mouth of an icy man like Theo.
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Theo and Elena with ambiguous gazes. Some employees from Grant Corporation who did not know me put on an expression that seemed to confirm their previous thoughts.
It seemed like everyone thought Theo and Elena had been flirting and they finally received a confirmation now.
Elena froze a little, then her flawlessly fair face started blushing, which made her look quite dainty.
Jordan glanced at me before retracting his gaze and continuing his discussion about the project with Theo.
Theo wanted to build a resort on this plot of land. The profit ceiling would be too low if i t was an ordinary resort, so he intended to merge it with Grant Corporation's recent involvement in the field of intelligence to create a unique resort. He planned to have a series of industrial chains in the resort’s surroundings.
