"Who the hell are you?" Ruby looked at Cindy with a deathly gaze.
“You still don't know who I am until now? What qualifications do you have to snatch Theowy, then?” Cindy left after her last remark and walked away in style.
I saw Ruby standing on the spot in silence for some time. She then went to the back room to change her clothes before sitting back down at her desk. She went back to work without saying a word.
Theo stood straight and looked at my smug expression.
"I think even in the past, you were much better than her."
My expression froze, and for a moment, I did not know whether Theo was complimenting me or insulting me.
"But someone eventually has to help me out. Otherwise, others will say that I'm the president's petty wife."
After saying that, Theo’s expression also froze before turning serious.
He leaned closer to me. "So you're saying that you want to be the president's generous wife?”
I gritted my teeth to hold back my laughter and pretended to feel wronged, so I said," Actually, I've always been a generous person."
I noticed Theo’s unusual expression as his face got closer.
When he approached me, I gently pushed him away. Besides, this was Keith's office. We should not make our colleagues feel uncomfortable.
"Enough. Let's not disturb Keith's work. Let's go back." I turned my head and slipped out of the office after saying that.
Theo looked back at Keith before quickly leaving the office.
Poor Keith worked so hard, yet he still had to endure Theo's bullying.
Soon after we returned to the office, Cindy came back too. She went up to the desk and organized the documents. "I can't finish reading all these now. I'll bring them back with me."
She packed up her stuff and was about to leave.
Theo did not say anything. I knew he wanted to speak, but he was afraid of stirring up other matters, so I helped him.
