Theo was stunned when he heard my question. “Why aren’t you asleep yet? Look at the time. Are you not feeling well?”
There was obvious concern in those deep eyes.
“I went to bed a long time ago. I just came down to take a look because I heard something.”
He quickly heaved a sigh of relief. “It was quite tricky. You know how my personal situation affects the entire business to some extent.”
Theo paused when he said this. “Whatever that should come will come sooner or later. I was aware of this since the day it happened. Not to mention…”
Not to mention?
I looked up in surprise. Was there something else that I was unaware of?
Theo did not seem to want to talk about it, however, and abruptly stopped there.
"Were you affected on your end?”
A somewhat cool hand grasped mine, and the expression on Theo's face was practically blurred under the dim light.
“Not much. Some reporters were trying to get more information from me and waited for me.”
I would avoid them afterward.
They would then eventually give up as time passed.
Hearing this, Theo raised his other hand and rubbed his brows.
“It's my fault. This shouldn’t have affected you to begin with. I’ll try looking for a way to ease this situation tomorrow.”
One could tell that Theo was definitely already burned out because of this.
At that moment, I could not help but feel distressed inside.
