I lowered my eyes, and my palms were sweating. However, I could only be at his mercy.
In an instant, I felt a cold, piercing look. I looked up and saw Theo's dark brown eyes on me, his gaze then falling on my exposed shoulder.
It felt like I was being shot by an arrow and my shoulder burned with pain.
"Hello, President Grant." Tyler, who was beside me, spoke with an indifferent tone.
"President Lane, it's been a while since I last saw you." Theo looked up and stared at Tyler as he answered him.
With a sharp gleam that came from the clash, both men's eyes sharpened. Do the two of them know each other? That’s a surprise.’
After a long time, Theo was the first to reduce the intensity of his cold aura. He looked at me and asked,' President Lane, who is this beside you?"
"My fiancee," Tyler replied frankly, his fox eyes smiling and staring at Theo.
I opened my mouth wide in shock. I did not expect that Tyler would spout such nonsense. I froze in place, not knowing what to do.
"Oh? But I heard that you swore off women. What a surprise. When did you get a fiancee?" Theo continued staring at me and pretended to ask even though I could feel the chill in his eyes.
Tyler changed his position and held my hand as he turned his head. He stared at me with a light smile on his face as he replied, "It's true that I swore off women, but it was only because I was waiting for my princess."
Theo's eyes turned cold and he emitted a dangerous aura. He emphasized every word when he said, "So should I be calling you Mrs. Lane, then?"
Every word that slid through his teeth was uttered with anger.
My heart was in turmoil. I had wanted to talk to Theo about Tyler but never found the opportunity. I never thought that all of this would happen on an occasion like this.
I broke away from Tyler's hand and walked up to Theo. I looked at him and said, "Theo, listen to me..."
Before I could finish my sentence, a crisp voice sounded from behind me. "Theowy."
In the distance, Cindy was wearing a sexy red evening dress with her hair pulled up high. She looked luxurious. I could not help but sigh to myself. 'Now this is a real princess.'
