Keith got a little nervous when he saw Theo like this, so he immediately said," President Grant, Madam, I'm to blame for today's matter, so I won’t rest. I’ll work overtime to finish these. Madam, you can accompany President Grant back home."
I frowned slightly. When did Keith become so slow-witted? What did this have to with him? Could he not tell that he was being set up by someone else?
He was already working so late, yet he still volunteered to work overtime. No one in their right mind would do so.
Before I could say anything, Ruby had already taken the liberty to make the decision.
'He’s right, President Grant. Our progress has suffered a setback because of this hiccup. You should go back and rest if you're tired. Let Keith stay to work overtime."
Theo's tone was cold, "But he’s not familiar with all the information. It's not a one-man job."
"It's okay, I can help him.
"Keith, just call and ask if there's anything you don't know. I don’t have any plans tonight."
I did not know if it was to salvage her reputation after embarrassing herself in front of Theo earlier or to show off, but Ruby even took the initiative to say that she could work overtime.
After a few seconds of silence, Theo looked up at Keith. "You lost such an important document. How are you going to stay awake after working overtime? Are you going to lose something else?"
Keith choked for a moment, not knowing how to reply.
The wrinkles between my brows grew deeper as Theo clearly wanted Keith to go back and have a proper rest. Could he not have worded it nicely?
Why did he have to put it in such a way that others could not even respond with a thank you?
After that, he looked at Ruby. "If you don’t have any plans for tonight, then do me another favor."
