The next day.
I woke up much later than I usually did most probably because I had not had such a sound sleep in so long.
Theo was almost done with his breakfast when I went down. I sat down before him and complained, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"I figured you haven’t been sleeping well during this time, so I wanted you to sleep more.”
"So you know about that, huh?”
Theo pushed a cup of hot milk in front of me with a smile on his lips. “Hurry up and eat. Keith and I will have to go abroad for three days. I’ll leave the company to you during this time.”
I raised my head and looked at him, surprised. "So you’ve been trying to get me to recharge and save my energy to manage the company for you."
He just smiled and said nothing.
I abruptly recalled that the signing ceremony with Nibel would be in three days. “Will you be able to make it to the signing ceremony?”
“Yes, don’t worry.”
“Travel safe.”
Theo eyed me. “We’ve only been away from each other for some time. Why are you acting like a stranger? I think I’m going to have to cultivate our relationship properly when I come back.” He raised his brow at me as if he were up to something.
"Continue with your breakfast. Be quick or you’re going to be late to the company. I won’t be following you along.”
Breakfast ended with that.
Grant Corporation.
Theo and Keith briefed me about the recent company situation in the morning and transferred all the relevant reports to my desk. I could not help but roll my eyes at the hill-like document. “Aren’t you guys being a little too discourteous now?”
"Why should I hold back with my wife? You can read these reports slowly. The top three are the most important. I’ll need you to go through them first, President Lane.” Theo patted the top of the stack of documents and looked at me expectantly. “I trust you’ll do a good job, President Lane.”
"Don't worry, President Grant. You can leave Grant Corporation to me.”
