The next day, I took a half-day leave and followed Theo to the airport.
While helping him tidy up his collar in the waiting room, I told him, "Remember to eat when you get there. Don't skip your meals the entire day just because of work. Keith, you have to watch him."
"Yes, Madam."
Theo looked down at his tie and smiled. "You know how to tie a tie now?"
I was a little confused when he suddenly asked this question and looked at him blankly.
I then remembered that the last time I helped him tie his tie, it was as though I was an elementary school student. From that day on, I would often practice while watching a video. Could it be that he saw me?
Still smiling, he loosened his tie and said, "Try again."
People were coming and going in the airport.
I grabbed his tie, giving us a warm moment before we parted in this noisy waiting room.
"All done." I tucked the tie back into his suit.
Theo looked at it and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad. You've made progress."
He caressed my head, and I noted the reluctance in
his gaze.
This was not the first time we parted ways, but it was the first time when we parted so lovingly. Although it was only for a few days, I did not know why I felt my heart sour.
Jenny's image appeared in my mind. She was a foreign woman with a hot body and fair skin. She was also much more open than us. My gaze abruptly sharpened. "Work hard, and don't mess around with pretty girls."
Hearing this, he could not help laughing. "It turns out that the madam is also afraid."
"Of course. What if you decided to try something new?"
"Don't worry, you’re new to my eyes every day." Theo approached me and whispered in my ear.
