Matthew's appearance made me uneasy and I had not been in a good state when I was at the office.
Just this moment, there were people in another discussion outside.
"Have you heard that the CEO of YA has arrived in Whaldorf City? It’s rumored that a special banquet will be held and that all the influential presidents from various industries will be invited to attend. I really want to see what this extraordinary CEO looks like."
"Stop thinking about it. Only the elites of the major industries are eligible to receive an invitation. President Grant should be on the list."
"That's for sure. How can President Grant be excluded from any banquet? Director Lane, you’d be joining President Grant at that time, yes? Could you help me take a look and see if the CEO of YA is good-looking? Also, take a photo if you can."
I looked at the girl who was talking to me and replied after a moment, "I might not be invited."
It was not that I wanted to burst her bubble on purpose but I had this hunch.
That night, I was still thinking about this matter as I lay in bed. I kept having this feeling that YA was somehow connected to Matthew.
When Theo saw my spaced-out expression after coming out of the shower, he reached out his hand and waved it in front of me. "What are you thinking about so deeply?"
I came to my senses and approached him. "Theo, there is a company called YA that has become quite prominent recently, do you know about it?"
Hearing this, Theo nodded at me. He seemed thoughtful. "Yes, I asked Keith to look into them. What's wrong?"
"Don’t you think it's a bit too coincidental that Matthew came back at a time like this?" I frowned. My tone was solemn and my expression was also slightly severe. "I heard from my colleagues today that the CEO of YA has come to Whaldorf City. Matthew also just came back. Do you think that..."
I did not finish my sentence, but Theo definitely understood what I meant.
After hearing what I said, he frowned before responding, "There is the possibility. If you want to confirm it, you’ll know in a few days."
