I knew who this woman was. She was Nadia Sherman, the secretary who took care of the flowers and plants i n Theo's office.
I frowned and turned to Xander. "Let's go somewhere else."
It was normal for the president and his secretary to eat together, but if I suddenly went in, it might seem that I was here on purpose and it would be awkward for everyone.
Xander looked at me with a cheeky grin and said," You've caught him red-handed, so why don't you want to go in?"
After he said that, I did not realize what he meant and asked casually, "What do you mean I've caught him red -handed?"
He put his hand over his forehead. "Well, as long as you're happy." After he said that, he gave me a 'You're an idiot' look.
The entire floor was full of restaurants and it would not be hard to find another place to eat. I pointed to a paella place in front and said, "Let’s go there. It looks pretty good."
At that moment, my phone rang. When I grabbed my
phone and looked, it was Theo calling.
I could not help but look up and his deep gaze was looking straight at me. He said in a deep voice, "Come i n." Theo's expression looked cold, but I could not tell what he was feeling.
"It's fine. I don’t want to disturb you." Since Xander said he wanted to talk to me, it would be inconvenient if we went in.
He stood up and walked over to the window. He had one hand in his pocket, and his dark eyes narrowed slightly. He stared at Xander and me. His voice carried a hint of coldness as he said, "Would you be disturbing me or would I be disturbing you guys?"
"Both." Since he saw me but was not coming out, it meant that he must have something important to discuss with his secretary and could not leave. If we went in rashly, we would be disturbing them.
He had a cold smile and looked slightly angry. Even though we were looking at each other through the glass window, I still felt his bone-chilling aura. I hurriedly said, "I have to go. Enjoy your meal."
After I said that, I hung up the phone and did not look at him again. I turned around and pulled Xander forward.
After entering the restaurant, I looked down and ordered the food while Xander used his hands to prop up his chin. He looked at me thoughtfully without saying a word.
"Do I have something on my face?" I looked up and asked after being stared at by him for a long time.
