Theo did not look happy. "What about when I’m older?”
I had the sudden urge to tease him and said with a smile, "It's hard to say. When you get older, Tory will be your age now. He’ll be more charismatic than you."
"Oh?" Theo narrowed his eyes dangerously.
I covered my mouth and giggled. "Alright, I'll stop teasing—ah!"
After that, I did not get the chance to speak again. One could not be too cheeky, after all, or they would soon meet their downfall.
Two days later, Theo and I had returned to Whaldorf.
After being away from Whaldorf for so long, there were a lot of things at the company that was waiting to be settled by Theo. He was busy all day and barely had time to rest.
He had yet to fully recover from getting frostbite, and I was worried about his wellbeing, so I followed him to the company every day. I tried to help him as much as I could, worried that he might fall sick.
When I went downstairs that day, someone called for me from the reception counter. I looked over and saw that it was Thalia.
I had only not seen her for a short time, but she had changed drastically. She looked a lot more fashionable and polished. If she had not taken the initiative to call me, I was afraid that I would not have recognized her at first glance.
"Madam, you and President Grant have returned."
I smiled and nodded. "You've gotten so much prettier. Have you started seeing someone?”
The young lady blushed, embarrassed. “N-No..."
I smiled and stopped prying.
The phone in my bag started ringing. I pulled it out and saw that Amelia's mother was calling me.
If she was calling me, it probably meant that she needed more money for her child’s medical expenses.
