Theo turned to look at me but did not say anything. His eyes were deep pools, but the emotions in them were unclear.
Deliberately ignoring the malice and anger in Tyler's eyes, I walked up to Theo, held his hand, and said again, "Let's go, let's go home."
Theo looked at me for a long time before an attractive smile bloomed on his face. "Okay, whatever you say."
After he was done speaking, he laced his fingers between mine tightly, turned around, and left with me.
I reckoned Tyler was not in the mood to get into a fistfight with Theo either since he did not say anything to stop us. He stood where he was and merely watched darkly as we left.
After a while, Theo spoke in a tone laced with humor." Were you worried about me just now?"
I blocked his question out instinctively as we approached my car. I instead asked, "I'm driving back. Are you coming with me?"
"You’re following me back in my car." Right after that, he turned to Mason Lynch and said, "You, drive her car back."
I did not reject him, and I followed Theo to his car. The
driver was inside, waiting for us.
After I got into the car, I turned my head to take in the night view of the city. The streets were illuminated with fluorescent lights, accentuating the hustle and bustle of this sleepless town.
Theo leaned over and pulled me into his embrace. His warm and strong hands caressed my belly as he said softly, "Your belly is growing bigger and bigger. Don't g o to the office anymore. Just stay at home, okay?"
I shuddered and glanced back at him. “There are several things due that haven't been done yet. I don't think I can leave for now." I then paused. "The ad plagiarism matter hasn’t been settled yet either."
