"If you don't agree, we can always live separately.”
Theo's pupils constricted as he hugged me tightly. "No, I'll apologize to you. I was wrong today. You can punish me however you wish to, but we can't sleep separately."
I huffed coldly and said, "This isn't up to you.”
After speaking, I freed myself from his arms and walked toward my office swiftly.
Theo followed behind me. He looked extremely pitiful.
I did not feel like entertaining him. I walked into my office, closed the door, and locked it.
Lally had returned to the head office. I suddenly got busy again.
Besides, Jordan was not here as well.
Everyone in the research institute came to ask me for help if they had any problems. I was tired to death.
After finishing my tasks, I received a call from Jordan.
"Wanda, the third party's person in charge has arrived. Go to the restaurant tonight so that you can get to know each other.”
I was the person in charge of the project. I had to be there if the third party's person in charge had arrived.
I thought that I could return to the accommodation after work to have a shower and a good night’s sleep. It seemed like that was impossible now.
"Alright, I got it.” I felt slightly exasperated. "I'll head over after finishing work at the
research institute.”
I hung up on the call and lay down on the office table to regain some energy.
My phone vibrated a few times. I picked up my phone. I had received a text from Theo.
I opened Whatsapp. He had made a few transactions to me.
Did he intend to coax me with money?
I did not want to entertain him, so I did not accept the transactions. I turned off my phone.
Anyways, the transactions would be automatically returned if I did not accept them.
After work, I prepared to take Krayden's car to the restaurant. However, I caught sight of Theo standing beside the car after walking out of the entrance of the research
