The weather was really cloudy and unpredictable. The morning was bright and sunny, but it was now dark and cloudy. It looked like there was going to be heavy snowfall.
When Theo called, I was leaning back in the chair with my eyes closed.
When I picked up the phone, the man's low and attractive voice rang out in my ears. "Are you still in the hospital?”
I gently sighed. Tm still in the hospital. How are things in the company?”
Theo finally had an annual holiday, yet this happened. I bet he was going to be a real busy bee.
Theo said, "The PR department will handle it. What do you want to have for lunch?"
It was almost noon now. It would probably be after lunch when Celine was done talking to Elena. I might not be able to have lunch with Theo.
I gently sighed and said with a smile, "I have an appointment, Mr. Grant, so I won’t be having lunch with you.”
Theo was amused. "Do I know this person?"
I deliberately wanted to tease him, so I said, "I'm not telling you.”
Theo snickered lightly. "You've been waiting downstairs for so long but she still hasn't come down yet. You probably shouldn't wait anymore.”
« H
This man knew yet still pretended like he did not.
How spiteful.
I looked around me. "Be honest with me. How many men did you send to follow me?"
Theo avoided talking about it. "There are people who are bold enough to keep an eye on you. I'm just trying t o keep you safe."
