Although I was curious, I could not simply follow them at any time. For example, they were headed to Grant Corporation while I was heading to my own company. I could only wait until tonight to question Theo carefully.
I got up early today, so I came to the company a lot earlier.
I thought I would be the first person at the company and did not think I would see Nina when I came in. My eyes widened. "Nina? Why did you come here so early?"
She smiled at me. "It's nothing. I just got up early, so I came here early."
"You just got out of operation. You need to rest more and not overwork yourself" I patted her on the shoulder. Then, I entered my office and began working.
Time passed quietly, and the number of people in the company began to increase in a blink of an eye. Shannon had also arrived.
"Morning, Wanda. How was your weekend?" Shannon greeted me with a bright smile when she entered through the door.
I shook my head. "Not that good."
She sat down and looked at me curiously. "What's the matter? You look like you've made enemies with someone."
"I met a nasty guy." Now thinking of Townsend made me angry.
Shannon’s interest was suddenly piqued. She approached me excitedly. "Who is it? Tell me."
"Theo's childhood friend. A playboy of the highest order," I said bitterly through gritted teeth.
"A playboy?!" Shannon's eyes widened instantly, neither crying nor laughing. "Why do you say that?"
I told Shannon everything that happened yesterday. Shannon even began admiring him after hearing about him. "Listening to what you said, I can even feel how they're so full of..." She did not dare say the last word and just glanced at me with a meaningful gaze. "You get what I mean."
"Impossible. How could Theo be that?"
"Think about it. It’s Theo. Since when does he treat people so well?"
"Okay, I'll invite them to lunch."
Although I really did not want to see Townsend, I was forced to face him if I wanted to find out.
"There's no more water inside. I'm going to the tea room outside to pour myself a glass of water." I picked up the water glass to the side and left the office. I accidentally caught a glimpse of Nina, who was in her seat. She seemed a little out of spirit.
I thought it might be the sequelae of the operation and so paid it no heed.
After finally making it through till noon, Theo sent me a message: [We are leaving].
"Shannon, let's go. They're leaving." I stood up and picked up my bag.
"Okay, don't worry. Take your time. How can you arrive so soon?" Compared to me, Shannon was much calmer.
"Oh, hurry up."
