Elena’s actions made everyone gasp. Some people secretly studied my expression, while some spoke under their breath.
"Ms. Mandez usually carries herself in such a stern and decisive manner. I thought she was a woman with an iron heart, but now it seems like she's just a soft and weak woman."
"Her soft and fragile disposition just makes her look s o pitiable."
"Right? I bet Mr. Grant's heart is in turmoil now, not just mine."
"Stop talking nonsense, guys." One of the ladies stopped them. "Mr. Grant is married."
A man snorted. "You don't know anything. It's normal for a rich and handsome man like Mr. Grant to keep his family intact but have an affair outside of marriage. Besides, a talented and stunning woman like Ms. Mandez is a perfect match for Mr. Grant. She's surely way better than the one he’s keeping at home."
The discussions continued. I looked at Elena and Theo. I objectively thought that the two of them looked good together.
Some people said that an evenly matched marriage
was bound to last. Thinking about it now, Theo and I seemed to have quite a huge disparity between us.
As I was in a daze, Petra suddenly bolted over and pulled Elena away from Theo’s arms. She said coldly," The ambulance will be here any time. I need an emergency team member from the hotel to send this lady to the hotel’s entrance." 1
Petra was certainly not a nosy person. She obviously wanted the two to pay attention, seeing how she suddenly barged out to pull Theo and Elena away.
The hotel staff acted quickly and brought a stretcher over, lifting Elena away.
The annual convention continued, and Theo left after being called away by Petra. She probably had things t o say to him. I did not want to walk around aimlessly, s o I found a spot and continued eating.
After eating, I looked at the crowd in the distance and felt a little sleepy. I looked at the time and realized that it was almost ten o'clock.
Theo came back and saw me yawning. He asked with a smile, "Are you tired?"
I nodded. "Will it take very long before we can go home?"
Theo held my hand, his eyes filled with tenderness as he looked at me. “We'll be able to go home soon."
The waiter brought two glasses of milk. He had probably told the waiter to.
