I pushed open the door and went out!
“Alright, stop thinking about all those sad stuff. Come and have some supper. I prepared your favorite crawfish myself. I guarantee it's delicious!”
Marius was back to how he usually was. He no longer possessed the urge from before to seek Theo out for a talk.
“I’m sorry. I might have been a little hasty when I spoke just now. I hope you’ll disregard that.” There was some awkwardness to my words, even more so shame since he had acted out of care for me.
“Oh, Sis Wan. There’s nothing between us that can’t be forgiven. Hurry up and come eat. Let me know how you find it. I had to drop by many places before I finally found it!” Marius said as he peeled a crawfish for me, his tone light.
I was only able to eat supper with him with ease seeing him like this.
Even though I was still sad the next morning, I still had to show up at the company. Life must go on.
As usual, I arrived at Green Orange. Just when I pushed open the office door, I saw Theo in my seat.
I had already had my emotions in check, but the moment I saw Theo, anger instantly surged in my heart. Seeing his ethereal face especially infuriated me.
“What are you doing here?! Get out! I don’t want to see you now!” I said to Theo while looking at him coldly.
I had never spoken to Theo with such a gaze or tone before, even in the past.
This was the first time.
“Wanda, let’s talk.” Theo was looking at me with no emotion on his face at all.
My lips parted slightly as I let out a light snort. “What’s there for us to talk about?”
“You know whatever happened between Delia and I was an accident.”
His voice was rather weak when he said this.
He then paused for a moment before continuing, “Give me a bit of time.” Theo looked at me, his gaze slightly imploring.
