Theo did not ask any questions after he heard my answer. I was afraid that he would if I stayed any longer, so I hurriedly changed the subject with a guilty conscience.
"I'm so tired. I’m going to go wash up and head to bed!" I yawned and closed my eyes, pretending to be tired.
"Since you’re tired, sleep earlier."
A deep magnetic voice sounded above my head. I was overjoyed when I heard it. It was good that he did not chase me with questions. I finally fooled him.
Thinking this, I hurried up the stairs, not daring to look behind for fear of being discovered.
In a dark room on a soft bed, two individuals fell asleep wrapped in their own thoughts.
The next day.
I had gotten dressed, but my eyes were still sleepy. I stretched lazily and went down. I heard a faint voice when I was coming down the stairs and slowed down.
I heard a deep and magnetic voice coming from the corner behind the stairs. I could tell that he was angry from his tone and that he was trying hard to suppress his voice.
Theo's figure entered my line of sight, and he looked furious.
Perhaps Theo had noticed me through my burning gaze or he caught my figure as he immediately suppressed the astonishment in his eyes.
All I heard was, "Find a time..."
I was feeling utterly puzzled and asked, "Who are you going to meet?" I pretended to be casual, but I was filled with doubts.
Theo sorted out his emotions and said, "A work partner."
The difference in his demeanor compared to before made me find it even stranger.
After breakfast, I went to the company.
In the office.
