I was still thinking about it when Theo woke up.
He stroked my face. "I'm going to the meeting."
"Okay."
Theo stood up and smoothed out his clothes, asking slowly and elegantly, "Did you receive the info already?"
Keith did not keep anything from me and said straight away, "All the info has been sent to me. I’ll send them to your laptop during the meeting."
Theo's voice was cold and indifferent. "After the meeting, you'll tell Mason to temporarily hand over his current work to Zedd. He'll focus on this project for now."
"Yes."
Seeing that he was about to leave, I got up and said," Wait up."
I twitched my mouth. "Your tie is crooked.”
He smoothed out his clothes for nothing just now.
"Do it for me, then," Theo leaned over and said with a smile.
I looked helplessly at him and reached out to fix it for
him.
When I was done, I pushed him and said, "Go on now."
After he left, I lay on the sofa and planned to take a nap. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard a commotion outside.
One of the voices sounded quite familiar, so I got up and walked out the door.
After opening the door, I poked my head out and looked to my left. I froze.
It was Serena. Not much time had passed since we last met, but she had changed drastically. She was no longer as delicate and beautiful. Her hair was loosely tied; her complexion was sallow; her countenance was haggard. However, she was clad in good-quality clothes, though they probably seemed cheap because she was not in good spirits.
