Yes, I was narrow-minded like that. No one said that I could not be narrow-minded in such a situation.
Cindy looked at me and said very sincerely, "Thank you, Ms. Lane."
She called him Theowy but called me Ms. Lane.
I refused to believe that she was not doing it on purpose.
I suppressed the displeasure in my heart and blandly said, "You're welcome. It's my duty as Theo's wife.”
Cindy's expression instantly changed.
After that, I ignored them and walked straight into the elevator.
When I walked out of the accommodation, I saw Shannon and Jordan standing at the door.
Shannon rushed over to hold my hand and said, "You finally came downstairs.”
I smiled. "Why didn’t you call me or go upstairs to knock on the door?"
Shannon replied, "It's nothing important. Besides, your husband was just on a long flight, so I should let him get some rest."
"Is something the matter?"
Shannon nodded. 'There is something, but it isn't a private matter but a company matter. Do you mind if we tag along and cadge a meal?"
Dally got out of the car holding two bottles of wine. "We won’t cadge a meal. We brought wine."
Jordan looked at Theo and said with a smile, "Mr. Grant, the project is now on track, so we thought about inviting you to have a small celebration. Are you free?"
Theo smiled slightly and looked at me. " You have to ask my wife, then. I promised to take her out for hotpot tonight.”
Shannon and Gaily both tutted, feeling like they had just turned into third wheels.
