"I'm back."
Putting on my slippers, I habitually swept a glance at the sofa and saw Theo waiting for me.
Seeing the smile on my face, Theo could obviously tell my joy. "Happy?”
I nodded. "Yes."
"Is it now settled?"
"Yeah, I made up with Marius tonight." I sat down and snuggled up next to Theo.
Theo reached out and caressed my head. "I'm happy you guys made up. I'm jealous now."
There was a hint of childishness in his tone, and I could not stop my smile from deepening. "Oh, you. What’s there to be jealous of friends?"
I rarely behaved so coquettishly in front of him, so Theo's anger quickly subsided when he heard that. "Enough. Nibel will be coming over to the company for a meeting tomorrow. Shall we go together?"
"My presence wouldn't really matter, right? Since the project is stable now."
"Alright. As you say. But sales for Golden-O have been increasing. I'm a little worried."
I frowned at Theo's words. "What are you worried about?"
"Since we're the ones leading this project, I worry that there might be trouble."
Hearing this, I nodded in assent. "We should prepare prevention measures in advance. I'll put my thinking cap on."
I suddenly felt a hand tap my head and raised my eyes to look at Theo. "Why'd you do that?"
"It's late. Don't think about it now. Leave it for tomorrow."
I tilted my head to look at Theo and chuckled. "I didn't expect the work-obsessed President Grant to tell me to leave things for tomorrow."
"There's no rush. Our priority now is to cultivate our relationship as husband and wife. Let's go!" Theo suddenly picked me up and went upstairs. The sense of security I felt in his arms was unmatched.
