Caroline prepared a table’s worth of all kinds of food the next morning as if to ease the stalemate between Theo and me.
The sweet atmosphere between us already spoke for itself. After eating and sleeping well, I appeared at the company in a much better state than yesterday.
This earned me teasing from Shannon, who could read everything from my face. "Yo, looks like someone took good care of you last night. Else, why would you look so radiant today? You’re positively glowing compared to yesterday!"
I was a little embarrassed but made no excuses. I just shifted the topic to the contract ceremony with Hyperspace.
Even though I had been throwing a temper tantrum with Theo before, I would never bring my emotions to work.
They were all different matters, and I could not be sloppy.
Shannon also immediately put her game face on because of this. We organized the venue for the upcoming event and curated the list of invited media. We also configured the scale of our plans and publicity into documents and brought them to the meeting room in an orderly manner.
Marius and the others were already waiting by then.
"The Hyperspace project is a victory achieved through the blood, sweat, and tears of all employees in our companies. As one of their representatives, I will make the following remarks to better promote its progress.
"I hope everyone can speak freely and put forward their valuable opinions."
Marius had wanted to talk to me about the details of the project after the meeting, but Shannon was worried that our intimate acquaintance would be revealed to everyone else.
Even if there was no so-called improper relationship between us, we were afraid that our competitors would deliberately spread rumors.
