Theo did not seem to mind it, and his hands continued to move. "Oh? What happened?"
I shook my head and responded lightly, " It's nothing much. He made things clear with Nadia but didn't make them clear with Cindy, so I went ahead and explained things in his stead."
As if he did not expect me to do so much today, Theo put down his utensils and held my hands. His tone was still gentle and soft, "If Nadia finds out that you did that, won't you be asking for trouble?"
"She already knows. She heard me when I was talking to Zedd." I pursed my lips and sighed again.
I truly was being a busybody.
Perhaps it was because I did not want to see Zedd and Cindy repeat the same tragedy because of the regret I felt toward Matthew and Liz.
He patted my hand lightly, telling me not to worry about it. "So what if she causes trouble for you? It’s just Nadia. She can't stir up much." Theo had always been confident, and this time was no exception.
"How about giving me a position in the company? An easy one." I looked at him and said slowly.
Hearing my words, Theo could not hide the smile on his face and unconsciously smiled. “Why? Are you worried that I'll get abducted, so you plan on monitoring me in the company?"
I was nearly full and simply placed my utensils down. Then, I placed my chin on my hands and said with half a smile, "What if I said yes?"
Theo applauded mischievously and leaned closer to me. "Then I'll be ecstatic. I welcome Mrs. Grant to come and supervise me every day."
"That's great. What position will you be giving me?" I looked at him in a calm manner.
As he pretended to ponder, Theo's eyes drifted in my direction from time to time." For the convenience of my wife to monitor me, perhaps you can be my assistant?"
I pursed my lips and blinked. "Don’t you already have an assistant? Keith?"
