I nodded. "Yes, I want to know his secret."
Theo finally obliged when he noticed my determined expression. "Then, I'll accompany you."
"Good."
With Theo’s company, we both went to Gareth’s home.
This time, it was not the housekeeper who came out to open the door but the beautiful woman I had met at the entrance the other day.
The woman was stunned at first when she saw me but then smiled. "We meet again."
“Yes. I figured President Zeke is already back." I looked inside.
As if seeing surety in my expression, the woman confessed, "He just came back. Please come in."
Theo and I glanced at each other before following the woman into the house.
The moment we stepped through the door, we heard a deep voice, “Rosa, who is it?”
Her name was Rosa.
Theo whispered in my ear. "Rosa Santos. She’s been Gareth’s assistant for more than ten years. Everyone in the industry knows that the person she loves is Gareth, but Gareth has never accepted her.”
If Gareth was really that ruthless, why did he let Rosa into his home, then?
Rosa looked back at us before answering with a smile, “It's President Grant and Mrs. Grant.”
I had no doubts that she knew us. It was only natural since Theo was a leading figure in the industry.
When Gareth saw that it was me, his expression obviously changed. It looked more complicated than it had been before.
"Why are you here again?"
"You should be glad she came," Theo answered before I could even speak.
