Escort him personally!
Those words were like thunder.
Keith nodded heavily. "Yes. President Lane, please come this way."
The drug would have probably taken effect by the time his wife came over. His wife would have to deal with him. Theo’s plan was excellent.
Watching them leave, Theo smiled, "Gorden was doing nothing when he was young, but he met his current wife when he was 40 and she gave him his first pot of gold. He should probably be very afraid of his wife."
Gorden should cherish such a wife. Who would have thought he would be out frolicking instead? I felt that his wife did not deserve that.
I sighed. "It's a pity."
Theo looked at me. He did not say anything, but he was smiling.
I met his gaze and slowly smiled. "Why would someone of your caliber participate in such a small dinner party, President Grant?"
"I didn’t intend on coming, but I was worried that my wife would be abducted for being so beautiful. Won’t I suffer a great loss then? That's why I'm here."
The line was supposed to be cringey.
However, the strange thing was that when it came out of Theo's mouth, it was so refreshing that people might be inclined to find it sweet too.
Looks really accommodated everything.
"It seems like I’ve finally gotten to witness your glib tongue, President Grant."
"Everything I say is sincere and from the heart. How could you call it a glib tongue?"
I glanced at him and shrugged. As if I believed him.
Delia came back at this moment, looking a little hurried. "I'm sorry, Wanda. I was late because my stomach was acting up a little. President Grant? What are you doing..." Her eyes widened with confusion when she saw Theo.
"President Grant, why are you participating..." Delia, like most people, was very surprised by Theo's arrival.
I responded on his behalf before he could say anything, "President Grant came because he had nothing to do."
