The new caretaker went out this morning to line up and bought several boxes of pastries. I took two boxes and went out.
I drove to Munchkin's kindergarten first, passed the pastries to the security guards, and asked them to deliver the pastries to Munchkin. Then, I went to Grant Corporation.
This was my first time visiting Grant Corporation after returning to Whaldorf City.
Three years ago, Grant Corporation was still a small enterprise in Whaldorf City. There was still no sign hung up on the office building, but there was one now. This showed that the whole building now belonged to Grant Corporation. Its scale was much bigger than it was three years ago.
The sky was just a little cloudy when I first went out the door, but it was now completely cloudy.
I checked the weather forecast with my phone and it showed that thunderstorms were forecasted at this time.
Wasting no time, I found a parking spot and parked m y car. I got out of the car to run inside Grant Corporation.
When I was nearly at the entrance, the rain poured down and a lightning bolt cut through the sky.
My body stiffened. When I ran into Grant Corporation, my heart was already pounding very quickly.
After calming down for a few seconds, I pulled out my phone to give Theo a call.
The call connected immediately and the man's anxious voice was heard, "Are you in the room, Wanda?"
I was stunned.
A few more thunderstorms hit at this moment and Theo urgently said, "Go to the living room and ask the servants to stay there with you. I’ll be home at once."
"Mr. Grant, Mr. Roffe is-"
Theo said in a deep voice, "Ask him to wait."
I had yet to come back to my senses and asked dazedly, "Why are you coming home?"
The sound of thunder rang out again and his warm voice was heard from the phone, "To keep you company, of course."
