The next day.
Caroline already prepared breakfast by the time I went downstairs.
I slept well last night and was in good spirits today. Even without makeup, I looked good. I glanced at Theo, and he smiled slightly. "Come eat."
The atmosphere felt a little off.
Just as I was about to take out my phone, Theo turned it over. "Don't look at your phone during meal times. Eat properly."
He usually did not bother about these things.
I frowned and was about to ask him about it when I decided to just forget and ignore it.
After breakfast, I stopped Theo. "Could you take me to the car dealership today? My car should be done.”
"I'll take you to the company directly. We’ll get the car tonight."
"That works too."
We both packed up before heading out the door.
Theo would usually listen to the news in the car, but unexpectedly, he did not do so today.
"You don’t want to know what’s happening today?" I asked him with a smile.
"No, it's nothing serious."
Theo responded calmly, so I did not suspect anything.
Out of boredom, I was about to browse through my phone, but Theo stopped me. "Looking at the phone all the time is not good for the eyes. You’re already tired from looking at the computer at work. You should look at your phone less."
I frowned and looked at him. "You don’t usually care about these things. What's going on today?"
His expression did not change much. He just glanced at me. "Nothing, I just worry about you. It’s not good to be on your phone all the time."
"Alright, alright, I'll listen. I won’t look at my phone."
I would have to continue with work when I got to the company and would not have the time to look through my phone either.
We arrived at Green Orange just as I was thinking about this.
"I'll come to pick you up tonight."
I responded while unfastening my seat belt. "Okay, be careful on the road."
