I pursed my lips and said a little helplessly, "I crave crab, braised pork, glazed pork..."
I listed out a bunch of dishes as Theo listened with a smile. He did not seem to be memorizing any of it, so I stopped listing them out.
I was in a rush to take Munchkin to the hospital, so 1 grabbed my bag and planned to leave.
When I left Theo's office and got to the elevator, I bumped into Theo's secretary.
I saw that there was a pile of documents in her arms and she was a little distracted. She did not realize that she had dropped a file.
I picked up the file and quickly called out to her, "Hey there.”
She turned back only after I called her twice. I waved the document in my hand and said with a smile, “You dropped a file.”
The secretary was stunned and thanked me while taking the file from my hand.
"What's with you today, Amelia?" A person walked out of the elevator. "You delivered the wrong file and now you're dropping things. Are you unwell?”
Amelia quickly shook her head, but her eyes were starting to turn pink.
It turned out that it was Keith. After lecturing Amelia, he looked at me and asked, "Are you leaving, Mrs. Grant?"
I nodded. "I have things to attend to."
Seeing the worried look on Amelia's face, I felt a little worried, but as I was in a rush to leave, I did not ask any questions. I went into the elevator and got ready to leave.
There were still reporters downstairs waiting for Theo. They were hoping to worm something out of him when he came out.
If I left from the company's main entrance, then I would undoubtedly bump into the reporters. I thought about it and left from the back door of the company.
At this moment, Petra gave me a call. I answered the call while searching for my car keys.
