I pushed her extremely curious face away and made m y way to the bedroom. "Don't be nosy. It's late, you should go sleep."
"Tell me please, Wanda... I promise to be as tight lipped as a mummy...” I closed the door, blocking out Cecilia's voice. That girl was always saying nonsensical things.
Once in my room, I continued working on my laptop. Heidi had prepared a proposal for the show, and I had t o check through it.
The work for the preparation stage was almost done now. It would be a busy period of time for me soon.
For the next few days, I was the first in and the last out at work. Sometimes I did not even have the time to eat.
The groundwork of the talent searching show had been established now, and all the participants had signed their contracts. There was a lot to do and very little time. The next task in line was to settle the decoration of the locations and to work on the online marketing.
This was definitely the fastest production program in history. I had given it a timeline of only 20 days to go
from preparation to recording, but by the looks of things, the timespan would not be a problem.
It was just how the world worked. As long as there was a sufficient amount of money, there was nothing one could not do. Everything was going smoothly thanks to the support of a financial giant-the Grant Corporation.
It was on my agenda today to go for a site visit. Little did I know I would bump into Theo and Mason at the office entrance.
We had not met since the last time in the restaurant. During that time, he had seemed to revert to what he used to be like—aloof and unresponsive towards me.
I had deliberately planned my schedule around him, making sure we would not meet each other during work hours. It was because of that that I had really not expected to bump into him today.
Theo's facial expressions were frosty and rigid, coldness rolling off of him naturally. It was as if he had not even seen me.
I felt a little awkward. I did not know whether to say h i or not.
Fortunately, Mason broke the tense atmosphere by saying, "You've been having problems with your digestive system lately, right? I told Cain about it, and he's prepared some soup for you. I'll send it over later.”
Dark clouds briefly came over Theo’s eyes before dissipating into nothingness. He did not say a word. I could not read his expressions nor did I had any idea what was going on in his mind.
