He stood up, and I hugged him without a word, burying my head into his broad chest.
"I just saw the news that the system Grant Corporation developed for celebrity use was stolen. I'm worried about you." My voice trembled.
"So it's about this." Theo’s tone was very calm as if he did not care about the matter.
I left his embrace, my face guilty of suspicion. "Why are you not in a panic?"
Theo did not rush to reply to me. He first walked to the door and looked around, then he closed the office door.
Turning back around, he let me sit in his seat.
This was the president's seat and the chair that Theo personally selected. I heard it was created by a well-known designer and was unique.
Theo treasured it very much. He usually even supervised the cleaners when they cleaned it.
Now, he made me sit down on it directly. I raised my eyes to look at him, and Theo's eyes were full of deep emotion.
"That's fake news."
I blushed slightly and knitted my eyebrows together as I pondered. Only after a long time did I speak out, "You put the news out on purpose, why?"
Theo smiled slightly, and he walked to the table while looking back at me. "Although Ruby is no longer with Grant Corporation, she knows about our project. There was a leak that happened before, so I suspected
that there was a mole. Even though I found out who it was, I don’t think it’s as simple as it seems."
Indeed, leaking company secrets was such a heavy task. It was impossible to plant only one person in.
"You suspect that Ruby was also one of them?" I asked.
Theo nodded, and his face was serious when working. "That’s right. I dare not confirm that it was her as she was a key person, but her background isn't simple."
Ruby and Julie were still being held at the police station. They would have to spend some time inside.
