Jemima deliberately dragged out her words. "Oh, I see… So that's all it is, huh? I thought you might have feelings for Sierra. But then again, she is a great woman. She's only just returned to campus, and already she's catching people's attention. I wouldn't be surprised if more and more men start hanging around outside the practice rooms just to hear her play."
Theo's expression darkened, and he remained silent.
Jemima smirked inwardly and continued, "I have a student—Sierra's senior. They haven't seen each other in three years, but he still remembers her clearly. And guess what? She remembers him too. They even won a piano duet competition together back in the day. They're about the same age, and honestly, they make a great pair. You said Sierra and your nephew broke up, right? Well, I think she and Cayden would be a much better match."
Sure enough, the person on the other end of the line couldn't stay calm anymore.
"Aunt Jemima, weren't you the one worried that dating would interfere with her piano playing?" Theo's voice was low, carrying a subtle chill.
Jemima pretended not to notice. She chuckled lightly. "I was worried about that. But Cayden and Sierra both studied piano. If anything, being together would push them to improve even more. Anyway, I have students to check on—I'll let you go."
And with that, she hung up.
…
At Gray Corporation's office, Theo stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the phone in his hand, his expression unreadable. A cold glint flashed across his deep eyes.
Setting the phone down, he turned and strode toward his desk.
He pressed the intercom. "Adrian, come in."
Within seconds, Adrian entered the office. "Mr. Gray, what can I do for you?"
"What's on my schedule this morning?"
"You have two meetings, and at noon, you're scheduled to have lunch with Mr. Xaeven from Pinkorps."
"Reschedule the lunch to dinner. I'm going out at noon."
