On the way to the restaurant, we bumped into Theo and Cindy.
They looked like they were also going to the restaurant.
Cindy greeted me very naturally. "What a coincidence, Ms. Lane. Theowy and I were just about to pick you up for lunch."
Krayden greeted them and left after hearing what she said.
I looked at Theo. "Is Mr. Nicols not here yet?”
This lady was dying to follow Theo 24/7.I felt immensely annoyed by her.
Theo walked up to me and took my hand, saying, “Zedd isn’t done with work yet.
Let's go and have something to eat. You
didn't have much for breakfast and must be starving now, huh?”
We were almost at the restaurant now, so I could not just say that I did not want to go anymore.
Moreover, there was nothing else to eat around here if I did not go to the restaurant.
After walking into the restaurant and sitting at the table, Cindy kept talking to Theo.
She wore a naive look on her face the whole time, speaking in a very girlish voice.
It was unsure if she was doing it on purpose, or if she unconsciously behaved this way when Theo was around.
I could not stand her and looked out the window, choosing to ignore her.
After ordering the dishes, Cindy insisted
on dragging Theo to buy ice cream. I wondered what had gotten into her.
Theo was tired from a morning's work and did not want to go, so he asked her to go alone.
When Cindy left the restaurant, I propped up my chin and looked at Theo, asking him with a smile, 'Can you feel at ease letting her go alone?"
Theo held my hand. "Are you jealous, Mrs. Grant?"
