Theo might have heard that I was still eating, so he said with a smile, "Finish your food first."
After a pause, he added, “Don't waste food. Finish it all."
My mouth twitched. "I will."
I was hungry, so I did not say much to him and continued eating.
Shannon looked at me curiously. "Don’t the two of you ever get sick of being lovey-dovey with each other every day?"
I pursed my lips. “We’re not that lovey-dovey."
"You're super lovey-dovey!"
Shannon gently sighed. "Jordan and I haven’t seen each other for days. Although he lives next door, he isn't in his room every time I go to see him. I can't reach his phone as well. I understand that he's been busy lately, but why hasn't he given me a call? I feel like I've been widowed."
I continued eating the pizza without saying anything.
After taking a few bites, I looked up at Shannon. "You're not exaggerating, are you? You haven’t seen him in the last two days and can’t reach him?"
Shannon nodded and said with an irritable expression, "I suspect he's dating someone else and has forgotten about me, or perhaps he doesn't want to continue with this relationship anymore."
Shannon lowered her head sadly after
saying that.
I patted her back. "Don't think too much."
Logically speaking, Jordan would still have time to give Shannon a call no matter how busy he was.
Moreover, Lally and I were in charge of most of the project matters. How could a company’s boss like him handle trivial things personally?
