I could not help but smile. "Sure, you're not jealous."
Theo tutted and pounced on me, saying with a sullen countenance, "How dare you mock me? I'm going to teach you a lesson.”
"Stop messing around. You should get back to work."
"There’s no hur—"
As soon as he said that, someone knocked on the door.
Veins were bulging from his forehead. He got out of bed and opened the lounge room door. "Come in."
He had urgent matters to attend to. The temperature outside was cold at night. If we were to go out and have dinner, I would be wearing too few layers. Hence, I went to the closet and picked out a jacket.
"This is the report from Limbia, Mr. Grant. We've also scanned these contracts and made sure they're okay. I'll have someone send them over after you sign them."
Keith's voice was heard from outside.
Theo did not say a word. He was truly cold and indifferent when it came to work.
After waiting for a long time and hearing no one talking, I thought Keith was done. I was just about to go out when he finally spoke, "Mr. Grant, the HR department has given us a promotion list. You can add a note on the side if there's anything."
"Mm."
I heard the door closing and walked out of the lounge.
Seeing Theo reading a contract, I asked, "Do you still have a lot to do?"
Theo shook his head. "Not much now. We can go have our dinner when I'm done.”
