A tall figure stood not far away under several beams of light.
He had his hands in his pockets as he slowly made his way over. His face could be vaguely seen in the haze.
"Theo Grant?!"
Gorden obviously did not expect him to appear here with how horrified he looked.
The corners of my lips lifted as I said with a smile to Gorden, "He's here, President Lane. You may start."
Let me appreciate your performance.
He looked back at me with a little helplessness in his eyes for just a moment. Gorden then smiled and said, "I-I have to leave first. Remember to call me, Miss Lane. We’ll make an appointment another day."
Gorden was about to leave after hastily saying this, but when he turned around, he bumped into Theo.
Theo was much taller than him, and at this moment, he was staring condescendingly down at Gorden with sharp eyes. "Are you the one who said you were going to beat me up just now?"
He delivered the sentence in a light and airy tone, but anyone could hear the extraordinary power behind it that made one's heart tremble uncontrollably. I believed Gorden must be panicking right now.
"No, no, it wasn’t me. You must have misheard, President Grant." Gorden did not dare to make any mistake in front of Theo and responded quickly. Right after he said that, he pointed his finger at me, seemingly worried that Theo would pick a fight with him. "It's this woman. She slandered you, saying that you’re always harassing her. How can someone like you harass others, right?"
Theo looked up at me with playfulness in his eyes. "Of course not, but if it’s her, it would be more than harassment." He approached me step by step and then wrapped his arms around my waist. He pulled me close to his body.
In front of me was the man's magnified face as he looked at me. "Attracting all sorts of people while I’m not around, huh?"
"Not at all." I shook my head lightly.
"Y-You two..."
Gorden pointed at Theo and me, his face full of shock.
