It was getting dark at night.
As I lay on Theo's side, I thought of Queenie and could not help but sigh.
"Why? Are you thinking of the company's matter?" Theo heard me sigh, closed the laptop, and looked at me.
I sat up, leaned on Theo’s shoulders, and said weakly, "Yeah."
"Queenie?" Theo asked calmly.
I was a little taken aback. "How do you..."
"Are you going to ask me how I know?" he spoke up before I could.
I nodded and left his shoulder. Then, I stood up. "Did Director Doyle tell you?"
After giving it much thought, the only person I could think of was Nicky, who often came to Theo's office to discuss matters. Perhaps she had somehow revealed it in the discussion process.
Theo was smirking. "Do you really think Grant Corporation doesn't have ears on their walls? There are so many people in your department, and news of it has long been spread."
"I see. I thought Director Doyle had tipped you off.”
"However, were you truly not planning on telling me?" Theo looked at me, and his eyes were burning.
I smiled and blinked a few times. "It’s just a small matter, so I didn’t need you to interfere, President Grant. I took care of it myself."
He reached out and bopped my nose with a doting expression. "I can do nothing, but I still have to know. Got it?"
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll certainly keep you in the loop next time." I stretched out three fingers and swore an oath.
Theo was amused by me. “Fine. Are you really not going to pursue Queenie's affairs?”
I shook my head. "She even knelt down to me. Moreover, I told her as long as she admitted it, I wouldn't pursue the matter. Naturally, I have to keep my word, and it's good to have fewer enemies."
"Yet she was still made to leave Grant Corporation. Do you think that with her character, she won't try to trouble you?" Theo continued to ask.
He was making sense, and I thought about it seriously. “I didn't make the matters public, so it won’t prevent her from looking for other jobs. What's more, she graduated from a great prestigious university. It's easy for her to get into a big company. I'm being so kind already. She should be thanking me instead, right?"
Upon hearing this, Theo chuckled out loud. "You're right, Wifey."
