Chapter 1867

Paradise Hotel.

Theo and I arrived as scheduled.

When we came to the private room, Jordan and Shannon were already there. Both of them stoodup to greet us when they saw us, especially Jordan, who looked extremely gentlemanly. "PresidentGrant, Mrs. Grant, please take a seat. I already ordered some of the signature dishes here. Whydon't you both take a look and see if there’s anything else you'd like to order?" He then handed overthe menu.

"No need. It'll do. " Theo declined.

Jordan looked more mature and stable than before. He looked a lot more tired too. Perhaps he wasworried about the matter of this business. He was not in as high spirits as Theo.

He could only blame himself. Perhaps he would not be in such a difficult situation if he had not goneup against Theo.

The dishes were slowly served up. Jordan raised his glass and directed it at Theo. " PresidentGrant, this glass is to apologize for my past transgression on you. I hope you'll be able to forgiveand forget."

Theo held his cup with a slight smile on his lips. "It’s nothing, you’ve already paid the price,President Fredericks, so there’s nothing more to this matter."

He downed the entire glass after he said that.

These words, on the other hand, stunned Jordan for a moment. His expression was one of slightembarrassment. He still smiled, however, and drank the wine in his glass.

I turned to look at Theo and frowned slightly to show my dissatisfaction. He just smiled at me anddid nothing else.

Did this man not catch what I was trying to say?

Sighing silently in my heart, I raised my glass. "President Fredericks, it's a tremendous feat to beable to acknowledge one's mistake and fix it, so we won't continue to hold a grudge against you.With this glass, it'll be as if nothing happened in the past. I'm pregnant, so I'm substituting wine withtea. I wish you great success in Whaldorf City."

"Thank you for your words, Madam Grant. I'll definitely drink to this.”

In reality, I was not actually that unfamiliar with Jordan since he had taken good care of me whenwe were outside back then. However, things had changed and it made me a little emotional. Ilamented at the impermanence of things.

Such a scene, on one hand, was to give Shannon face; on the other, it was also a reminder toJordan not to repeat the same mistakes.

We chatted with each other like this, and the meal passed rather pleasantly.

"President Grant, I heard you signed a contract with Mr. Drover just recently. He’s someone who isversed in artificial intelligence. You won't have to worry about Grant Corporation's artificialintelligence project with him around. You're really lucky. Mr. Drover has never participated incompany projects. I didn’t expect him to actually work with Grant Corporation." Jordan abruptlybrought up work. It seemed that this was his purpose tonight.

Theo looked to have long expected him to ask this. He looked at Jordan calmly, and even his tonewas indifferent. "Is your branch office this time looking into developing artificial intelligence projectsas well, President Fredericks?"

He had participated in a mecha project previously to compete with Theo, and now he wanted tograb a share of the artificial intelligence industry. It looked like he wanted to compete with Theoagain.

"I just want to understand it first. I don’t have such plans for the time being," Jordan replied verycautiously.

Both men harbored their own thoughts. I could not watch this scene further and left the private roomwith Shannon with the excuse of needing the toilet.

Shannon had only two more months left before her due date, and her stomach was already verybig. She could not be provoked at this time, so I took her out for some fresh air.

"Wanda, Jordan, he..."

I knew what she wanted to say, so I interrupted her, "It's alright, I understand. This has nothing to dowith you and me. Let’s just let them talk on their own "

I did not want their work competition to affect my relationship with Shannon.

Shannon obviously thought the same and nodded. "Alright, that’s good."
