I smiled but did not continue with the subject. "Your beard is growing too fast, Theo."
It already felt prickly after one day.
Theo chuckled slightly and squeezed me o n the waist. “Shave it for me."
I nodded. "Sure."
I hopped off Theo’s lap after saying that and dragged him to the bathroom.
After finding the razor, I deliberated and said, "What do you think of the project now?"
Theo raised his eyebrows. "Jordan wanted you to ask?"
I pursed my lips and made no reply.
He was so smart that as soon as I asked the question, he had already guessed it.
Theo snickered. "He's a smart guy, alright. He recruited my wife into his company, made you bid for the project, and then put you in charge. That's making big profits with small capital."
I smeared the foam around his chin. He was too tall, and I had to tiptoe to be able to reach his chin.
Theo picked me up and put me on the sink. "You'll be able to reach it now."
I chuckled. “It’s not what you think it is. Jordan initially didn't want to bid for this project, but now that we've gotten it, it's normal for Jordan to be curious about what you really think after so many problems have cropped up. Even if he didn't go through me, he would've asked you himself when the time comes."
"You’re speaking up for him now." Theo's expression sank.
“Why are you jealous of everything?" I was amused by it.
Theo snorted coldly and said no more.
