Just like this, another day passed, yet there was still no news on Theo.
In the end, I chose to call Keith. He was in charge of Grant Corporation when Theo was away. He informed me that many of the company’s shareholders were worried about Theo's disappearance. They had even wanted to elect someone into his seat, but Keith stopped them.
"I won’t be able to stop them for long. The most urgent task at hand is still to look for Theo."
"Yes, they’re doing our best with the search. I believe we’ll get some results soon."
With Keith's words, I felt a lot more relieved. I did not need to worry about anything with Keith at the company. Thinking about how Drover had gone to the company to look for Theo, I asked, "By the way, is there something wrong with the artificial intelligence project? I recall Drover heading over to Grant Corporation to discuss with Theo about this matter the last time. How are things now?"
Hearing my question, Keith seemed to have frowned before he replied, "No, the project is progressing steadily. Mr. Drover did come to the company, but he left without saying anything after chatting with Director Doyle."
Was that so…
I lowered my eyes and asked Keith to follow up on this today before hanging up the call.
"Wanda, come down and eat."
"Alright."
Drover came to inform me about dinner as usual. I went downstairs with him.
I could smell the aroma of the food the moment I got to the dining room.
My stomach did not fail to growl. Drover looked at me with a smile. "You haven't been eating properly recently. It's normal for you to be hungry now. You should eat more."
Yes, I had no appetite ever since Theo's accident, and every time I ate, it would just be a few bites to make do. Maybe I should adjust my state and face this situation in my best condition.
Thinking of this, I was able to let go and stuff myself with food. I took one bite after another.
After all, I was eating for two, so I ate a lot.
