It was already late when I arrived at Grant Corporation.
Keith's office was just outside Theo's, and he was there when I arrived.
Seeing me walk over, he stepped forward to greet me. "Why are you so late?"
"There was a slight mishap."
Although I tried my best to look calm, Theo could see the abnormality in my expression. His voice softened, "What happened?"
He took me into the office, and I told him what had just happened.
Once I was done explaining, Theo's brows were furrowed deeply. He seemed worried and angry. "I’ll send someone to investigate and get behind this as soon as possible. I'll have Keith pick you up in the future."
I knew that he was a busy bee, and sometimes, he needed to head out to other companies early in the morning to talk business. He could not come to the office with me. Nonetheless, Keith was his assistant and should keep him company.
When I thought of this, I said, "I'll ask the driver at home to pick me up and send me here instead. You need Keith.”
"Alright then." Theo no longer objected. It was just that he did not seem too happy." You mentioned that it was Sandra who helped you out?"
"Yeah."
Truthfully, I was still unable to lower my guard with Sandra. It just felt too much like a coincidence.
Moreover, Theo seemed to have some doubts as well and remained silent for a while.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door. "Are you free, President Grant?"
It was Sandra.
I nodded to Theo, who responded, "Come in."
