Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2694

Samuel's words kept circling my mind while I made my way back to the company with lunch.

"It's time to eat,” I said weakly.

Theo came to the table, and when he saw my expression, he asked suspiciously, "What happened?"

"Nothing. There’s nothing bigger than the company now,” I said out loud but my gaze flickered.

Samuel said that he knew everything I did, but Theo and I were the only ones in the office now. How would he know if I were to tell Theo about it? Did he bug me?

I quickly started searching myself when I had that thought but found nothing.

"What are you looking for?" Theo looked at me and asked.

I shook my head. “I was just checking to see if anything was off…”

Theo put down his bowl and chopsticks. He looked straight at me. "You’ve been acting weird the moment you came back. What happened?"

I bit my lower lip and hesitated if I should tell Theo about my meeting with Samuel or not. However, if what Samuel said was true, then the moment I leaked it and he found out, he would expose whatever that happened in the mountains.

"No, it's nothing. Maybe it's because I've been tired recently." I rubbed my temples, feeling exhausted.

Theo patted the back of my hand. "You’ve worked hard. Why don’t you go back early and rest this afternoon?”

“Alright.”

Theo did not ask me any more questions, so I left the office after we ate.

I was restless in my seat. Samuel’s words hounded me every single second.

A week, just a week…

I propped my forehead and closed my eyes tightly. Yet, the moment I did that, Samuel’s sinister and cunning-looking face appeared in my mind again.
