I pursed my lips and did not answer.
She did not press on. We then had a few casual exchanges before she told me that she had to go.
I walked her downstairs and was stunned when I saw Theo and Zedd standing in the lobby.
What were they doing here?
Theo did not see us as he was talking to Zedd. He looked particularly stern.
"Theo," Quinn called out to him.
Theo turned over to look and I quickly turned away.
Just as I was about to walk back, Zedd, that idiot, walked up to me. "Hey, Wanda."
I glanced at Theo and asked blandly, "What are you guys doing here?"
Zedd smiled. "I was talking to your company's project manager. We just finished the meeting and I'm about t o leave."
What about Theo?
Did he come with Zedd to have a meeting with the project manager too?
How big was this project?
Seeing Theo's chilly expression, I wanted to leave. "I still have things to handle, so I won’t walk you guys out."
"It's lunchtime soon. Why don't we have lunch together after you're done with work?" Zedd suggested.
"I'll pass." I refused decisively. "I'm not sure how long my work is going to take. You go ahead without me."
Theo glanced at Zedd, his countenance chilled further. "If you're so free, you can always go to the construction site to do an inspection."
