He gripped my hand, and his smile was so bright that it dazzled my eyes.
Our eyes met. He had finally stopped running away.
My lips were hooked with satisfaction, and my smile had become brighter. "Alright. You can go and handle what you need to. See you next time."
"Goodbye."
Drover withdrew his hand and nodded slightly to me before turning around and walking away. He suddenly stopped when he reached the corner and looked back at me. "Regardless of everything, there was something I said that was true. You and Heather are very similar."
After leaving these words, Drover walked away.
I stood where I was as I watched his back gradually disappear from sight. I lowered my head and smiled slightly. I shrugged and then turned around to go back to the meeting room. The moment I turned around, Theo appeared in front of me, which startled me to a jump. I patted my chest and looked at him with reproachful eyes. "Why did you come out suddenly? You’d scare someone to death."
Theo looked down at me and then in the direction of Drover’s departure. "Is he gone?"
"Yeah, he left," I responded indifferently and walked back.
Following my footsteps, Theo walked alongside me. Although there was no expression on his face, there was a lot of resentment in his tone, "What were you talking about?"
I turned to look at him. Having thought, I slowly smiled. "I get it. You’re jealous, aren’t you, President Grant?"
Men were always about saving face, and Theo was no exception. He vehemently denied it. "No, I'm just curious."
"Oh, is that so?" I rolled my eyes slightly, amused. "Then, it doesn't matter if I answer you or not."
