I felt absolutely speechless. I took a deep breath and pressed the answer button.
"Turn on the loudspeaker," Theo said. He used a particularly deep and dark gaze when he looked at me.
I did as he told and turned on the loudspeaker.
Theo was still looking at me. I was feeling uneasy under his gaze and lifted my hand t o brush my nose. I looked elsewhere a little awkwardly.
"Are you home, Mr. Grant?" Elena’s sweet voice was heard from the phone.
"Yes?" This man was still taciturn as ever.
Elena was used to his character and did not think much about it. Instead, she said with great delight, "I brought all the proposals with me to show them to you. You probably haven't had lunch yet, right? I brought lunch too. Give it a try later."
I pursed my lips. A beauty delivering food. He sure had a good fortune.
As he did not speak even after a long time, I looked at him. When our eyes met, there was actually a hint of fascination in the air.
I questioned him with my gaze. Why did he keep staring at me?
Theo chuckled and spoke into the phone, saying, "Okay."
"Can you come out and open the door for m e, then?" Elena could not conceal the joy in her voice. "I'm at the door now."
'Sure.
After saying that, Theo looked at me and hinted at me to hang up.
After hanging up the call, I put his phone o n the counter. I then smiled and said, "You g o ahead and deal with your matters. I can handle this."
After saying that, I was going to grab the dishes from his hands that he had not finished washing.
He suddenly grabbed my hand, and I froze.
When I was just about to come back to my senses, he let go of my hand in time and said faintly, "Let’s go together after cleaning this up. Elena is here to discuss the business proposals with me. You’re the person in charge, so you have to attend as well.”
