Two copies of the contract termination letter were prepared, and the process of obtaining both signatures and fingerprints was very straightforward.
Finally, Theo requested Keith to send Nibel off.
I took a look at Theo before finally choosing to follow him out as well.
Despite being a distance away from them, I could clearly see the gaze Nibel was using to look at Keith. It was as if he were extraordinary.
It was no longer as unfamiliar as before, and there seemed to be a lot in that gaze.
I observed them for a bit before choosing to return to the office to prevent them from seeing me.
I picked up the contract termination letter and looked over it before turning to Theo. "Theo, won't it be difficult for you to explain to the shareholders if you terminate the contract this hastily?"
"Nibel coming here means that he’s determined. Even if we didn't agree with him, so what?"
I could hear a hint of helplessness in Theo's voice. I was similarly powerless.
Standing in front of the window with him, I looked out at the busy traffic along with the blue sky lined with white clouds and felt a sense of melancholy.
"There has to be something going on between Nibel and Keith."
Their gazes did not die.
Theo closed his eyes and let out a sigh. "What has to come will come."
"How do you plan to deal with it, then?" I asked him.
He opened his eyes, and instantly, an incomprehensible look flashed through them. "We'll wait and see."
Theo had chosen to sit on the sidelines. My mood deteriorated as I watched the sales for Golden-O drop gradually.
While my body was in Green Orange, my mind was at Grant Corporation.
Marius noticed I was distracted when he came in and called out to me, "Even though Green Orange is stable now, can I implore you to worry about your company more, President Lane?"
"Am I not working? Relax. I just occasionally think."
He advised me while sorting the documents, "All that thinking gets you nowhere. Why don't you focus on green Orange instead? Do you know the kind of person Theo is? He won't let this small matter topple him. You should just relax."
