However, no one answered the call. I called two more times, but it was the same.
I sent him a text and got no reply.
Half an hour later, I still could not reach Theo. Left with no choice, I could only call Keith.
The call was quickly connected.
"Are you with Theo?" I asked with a frown.
Keith replied, "Mr. Grant is still having a meeting, Mrs. Grant. I'll ask him to call you back when he’s done."
"Okay."
I hung up the phone. Looking at the dishes on the table that were already cold, I could not help but sigh.
More than an hour later, Theo had yet to return my call. I could hardly sit still anymore, so I picked up my phone again to call him.
I was just about to dial the number when the sound of a car engine was heard out in the yard.
I quickly got up and walked outside with a smile.
However, when I got to the villa’s entrance, the person I saw was Keith, not Theo.
I looked over his shoulder but did not see Theo, so I asked curiously, "Theo didn't come back, Keith?”
Keith shook his head and handed me the lunch box in his hand. "Mr. Grant has a dinner to attend tonight and can't join you for dinner, Mrs. Grant. He told me to buy you this. It has a very authentic taste. Try
I opened the bag and took a look. It was probably seafood.
I looked at Keith and asked with a frown," Roughly what time will he be back?"
Keith shook his head slightly. "I'm not so sure of it myself. Do you want to have something to eat first?”
“Okay, then."
I went to the kitchen to look for a plate and put the seafood on the plate. I then took it to the dining area to eat.
