Theo slowly walked over. Each of his steps had a certain natural imposingness. His entire body seemed to be glowing, making one unable to take their eyes off him.
No matter where Theo went, he was such a dazzling presence.
When I saw him, I was not overjoyed. Instead, I was somewhat surprised.
Was he not asked to hide? Why did he come here?
I stood up and asked, "Why did you..."
While looking at me, the corner of Theo's mouth curled up. "Hiding... isn't my style."
Why on earth did he say that out loud?
Zedd glanced at me and seemed to have
guessed what was going on. He said with a smile on his lips, "Since you're here, why don’t you eat with us?"
"Come sit down, Theowy," Cindy greeted warmly.
"Are you telling me to sit farther away from my missus?" Theo stared at me. The passionate look in his eyes made me feel somewhat abashed.
Cindy was just right next to me, so I could not just ask her to move, right?
Nonetheless, someone here was a little too direct with his words.
"Are you not giving me the seat?" Theo looked at Cindy. The look in his eyes was so blazingly hot that it left Cindy with no other option but to switch seats.
Although she was incredibly reluctant, Cindy still sat next to Zedd.
Theo sat down next to me as he had wanted and was nudging me with his elbow several times, but I ignored him. Cindy, on the other hand, was just as cordial as before. She continuously placed food on his plate. "This one's super yummy, Theowy. Try it."
During the meal time that followed, Cindy took meticulous care of Theo as she ignored Zedd, who was looking gloomy next to her.
As for me, I knew that Cindy was deliberately trying to piss Zedd off, so I did not say anything.
Once we were finally done with lunch, we left the restaurant together.
Zedd was about to say something, but Cindy quickly took my hand. "Let’s head back to the company together."
