"Lame." I lowered my head, not wanting to look at him anymore. I thought he had something serious to tell m e. I did not expect him to just be bored and tease me.
Heidi's working efficiency was consistently good. She had been working with me for the past few years. I seldom had to worry about her, and I felt assured working with her.
I was feeling a little sleepy now. I yawned after a while of going through the stack of documents that needed t o be signed.
"Go inside and take a nap. I'll help you sign them." Theo put down his documents and took away the stack in my hands.
Theo's office was the same as the one I had in Nectarine Entertainment. There was a small bedroom i n the office. However, even if I chose to sleep here, I probably would have a hard time sleeping with all those people coming in and out of the office.
"No thanks.” I shook my head and pulled myself together.
However, it was like he did not hear what I said. He put down the documents, lifted his hands, and carried me in his arms. He then lay me down on the bed. He
took off my shoes and tucked me in with the blanket. He said, "Close your eyes. Get some sleep. I'll wake you up when it's noon."
"I don't want to." I stood up and wanted to get down from the bed.
He forcefully pinned me back down. He raised his eyebrows and looked at me, speaking in a cold tone, " You can’t sleep alone? Do you want me to cuddle you t o sleep?"
"No, thank you. I can sleep." I lay down on the bed again in a hurry and covered myself with the blanket.
I closed my eyes.
Was this a joke? If the others knew that the president was tucking me in for a nap in the middle of the day, would I still be able to face them the next day?
He chuckled and said nothing more. He adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner, closed the door gently, and left.
After I watched him leave, I threw back the covers and sat up again. I had no intention to sleep now. I thought of looking at my phone for a while but could not find i t. The thought that he took my phone away came across my mind all of a sudden.
It seemed that he really had the prescience. I lay back down on the bed, feeling bored. I stared at the ceiling, gradually falling into a trance.
Since last night, the feeling of being pampered and treated kindly by Theo had made me find it to be unreal. Apart from that, it was the first time he ignored Cindy when she was whining to him.
The reason he was treating me like this was probably that he felt sorry I accidentally fell down the stairs last time!
The more I thought about it, the more unpleasant I felt. I got out of bed, gently opened the door, and planned to take my phone back.
