Keith came in to inform us when it was time to get off work.
Theo and I exchanged glances with each other. I was carrying out the mission Munchkin had assigned me, while Theo was more worried about the baby in my belly.
Hence, the two of us did not say anything and immediately stood up. We headed to the office canteen.
Although it was not a sumptuous meal, we were finally sitting down and having a proper meal together.
It was as though I had completed my mission. We supervised each other and finally finished our dinner.
Then, we hurried back to the office and began to work. Keith could not help but shake his head.
"Madam, it would be better if you look after yourself. I'm here to help President Grant. Don’t worry,” said Keith.
Keith thought I was busy with the company’s matters.
"Don’t worry. I’m having fun here. Don’t mind me. You've been busy for the past few days. If there's nothing left to do, you can go home earlier. President Grant still needs you to help him tomorrow."
Keith knew us well, and he knew our habits. He stopped convincing me when I told him that.
I almost finished my work, and when I was about to save the document, my phone rang.
I picked it up and glanced at it. It was Fred who called.
I did not inform Theo when I saw that he was busy working. I answered the call right away.
"Wanda, we’ve already finished eating dinner. I thought you’d be coming to pick Munchkin up, but I didn't receive any calls from you. That's why I took the liberty of taking Munchkin here. I’m currently downstairs at Theo’s office. Are you nearby?"
I tilted my head and looked downstairs. There was a black-colored SUV parked there.
"Are you downstairs now? Is that SUV yours?” I was curious. Did he buy a car for himself?
’Yes. I thought you’d be going with us and it'd be more convenient if I got a car..."
I initially thought of telling him that he could use my car, but I remembered that Theo was right beside me. I dispelled the thought of it. Otherwise, Theo would be mad at me.
“Okay. Hang on. I'm coming," I replied.
