Chapter 1046

I frowned slightly, feeling quite curious.

Why were the two of them together?

Shannon saw them too and asked in astonishment," Isn't that Dazaray?"

"Holy shit, the guy beside her is so handsome."

"Wait a minute!" Shannon's eyes widened. "Isn't that the handsome guy I almost caught up with thisafternoon?"

Why did that sound so strange?

I retracted my gaze and said faintly, "What a coincidence."

Shannon smacked the table not too lightly nor too heavily. She spoke through clenched teeth,"What has she got? She has a round waist and big thighs. She's severely unfashionable and has ahorrible character. How did she manage to hook up with a handsome guy like that?"

"Keep your voice down." I quickly covered her mouth.

We were sitting at the far end; Theo and Dazaray were sitting in front. The two did not look over, sothey did not notice us.

It would be very awkward if they heard Shannon blaring her trumpets.

"Hey, you, come here." Shannon beckoned to the waiter on the side.

I had a very bad feeling but it was too late for me to stop it.

"We want to switch to that table. Just send our orders straight to that table later," Shannon said witha smile.

The waiter nodded politely. "Yes, Ma’am."

I looked helplessly at Shannon. "It won’t be easy for you to eavesdrop on them. We know Dazaray.If we stand up and walk over, she'll most probably see us. Besides, I know that handsome guyyou're talking about. He's the president of Grant Corporation, the one who’s holding the biddingevent tonight."

"President of Grant Corporation?" Shannon was shocked.

She then recalled something and asked hesitantly," When we were abroad, you mentioned that youknew Theo from the Grants and could give him a phone call. What’s your relationship with him?"

I thought about it and said, "We're husband and wife."

Shannon gasped, completely dumbfounded. When she digested the information, she said in atrembling voice, "Why are you working as Jordan's secretary when you're the president's wife?"

She continued after a pause, "I think I know why Jordan put you on this case now. He's trying to usethe relationship between you and Theo to win the bid effortlessly, right? What are you worriedabout, then? You're surely going to get it."

I pursed my lips, not saying a word.

Theo's and my relationship was simply too complicated. If I negated her statement, then it wouldtake me a whole night to explain it.

Shannon glanced at Theo and Dazaray, gnashing her teeth. "I want to know why Dazaray ismeeting your husband here alone."

It seemed like I had no choice but to say it. I sighed softly and said slowly, "I had no intention ofhiding it from you. I just didn't know how to say it. Theo and I have a long history and plenty ofmisunderstandings between us. I went to Riverbank City precisely because I wanted to live my ownlife."

Shannon frowned. "Did he have mistresses out there and that's why you left? Because you couldn'tstand i t?"

I laughed. "What kind of strange things do you have in your head?"

Shannon widened her eyes. "How is that strange?

That's what normal people would think, okay?

Typically, rich men's wives leave the house because their husbands have mistresses out there,right?"
