Before I could ask Zedd anything, he hung up on the call.
I felt slightly speechless. He had spoken way too curtly.
I kept my phone and looked at Matthew. I said in a rather apologetic tone, "I'm sorry, something came up just now. I might have to leave first."
After speaking, I grabbed my bag and left.
Since I was worried about Theo, I did not stop even when he called after me from behind. I simply apologized and left the restaurant.
The restaurant was not far away from the accommodation. I arrived there after running for three minutes.
There was a Rolls-Royce parked before the entrance. Keith helped Theo into the car as soon as he saw that I had arrived.
I noticed the thick bandage on his arm and asked in a panic, "How did this happen? How did you get injured?"
Keith replied, "A car violated the traffic rules and accidentally hit him."
I pursed my lips and reached out to help Theo.
Matthew had followed me here from the restaurant. He frowned and looked at me when he noticed that Theo was injured. ' Since he’s injured, let's have a meal another day."
After speaking, he left.
Theo raised his gaze and looked at me. ' Were you having dinner with him just
now?'
I nodded and said, “Zedd called me to tell me that you were injured as soon as we ordered our dishes.”
His gaze darkened as he asked icily, "So, did I disturb your meal?"
His voice was laced with intense rage. I frowned and said, "You’re overthinking. We just had a meal after work."
