He helped me up and walked me to the side of the table.
"You look calm," I said.
I knew Theo had always been calm in handling things, but judging from his personality, he would have thought that it was a strange thing to run into Jordan in France. However, it seemed like he had already known about this.
Theo rose to his feet and walked toward the kitchen. I watched him take the carton of milk out and pour some milk into a glass.
"Honestly, I already knew that he was going to be here. Besides, I saw their company's employees on the first day of the exhibition. I saw his assistant too.
That's why I guessed that he was probably
in France too. But I didn’t expect he would have brought Shannon to France as well."
Theo had already placed the glass of milk into the microwave while he was busy talking. The buzzing noise of the microwave slowly calmed me down.
"Then why did he come here?" I immediately questioned him.
"For the same reason as me. He wants to enter the mecha industry too," answered Theo.
"He’s not coming for you?” I was surprised to hear his answer.
Theo leaned against the countertop with his back facing me. I walked toward him, wanting to know the answer as soon as possible.
"Yes, and no." Theo paused for a moment and continued, "It’s actually easy. He's still
holding a grudge against me because of the business cooperation. Unfortunately, the die is cast, and there's nothing he can do to change it. The only thing that he can do is find a loophole to defeat me, hence why he chose to enter the mecha industry that I've just entered. He wants to defeat me in this field."
Theo smiled and shrugged his shoulders.
"But he’s a beginner too," I replied.
“You’re right. That’s why he’s sure that he can beat me this time," said Theo. There was a confident smile on his face.
