Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1679

I was stunned when the elevator doors opened.

I had been so focused on eavesdropping that I had not realized I was standing right in front of the elevator's doors.

Thus, when the doors opened, I did not know how to react when I saw Theo.

"Wan—" I was so startled when Theo began speaking that I immediately covered his mouth and hurriedly pulled him aside.

Then, I turned around and glanced at the stairs. Thankfully, I had moved quickly enough. It seemed that the people in the stairwell had not heard us.

Would it not have been awkward if they learned I had been standing here all this time?

However, when I turned back around, I realized how guilty I must have seemed when I saw the flustered look in Theo's eyes.

"What are you doing?” he asked as he grinned evilly.

"Nothing," I replied unnaturally. "I was just thinking that we shouldn't seem so intimate since we're at the office."

I gave the fire escape a careful glance as I spoke. Naturally, that did not escape Theo's eyes.

He immediately guessed what was going on.

"You've only just returned, and you're already gossiping?" An endearing smile appeared on his face as he took a step forward. It seemed like he wanted to eavesdrop on what was happening in the stairwell.

"I thought we were together," Zedd said before I managed to stop him.

Since Theo had no context of what was going on, he was confused.

However, although I had listened in on their conversation before this, I was still stunned when I heard Zedd’s reply.
