Chapter 303

I rested my arm on the sofa arm, and my hand gently fiddled with the pearls on my skirt. I saidnonchalantly, "Miss Reed said that you were busy and didn't have time to take my call."

Theo's expression sank again.

When Cindy saw that he was angry, her eyes turned red. "Theowy, I didn't mean to take your call. Itwas just that you weren't around then and I was worried that the call would be about an urgentmatter regarding work. After I hesitated, I decided to answer i t, but I didn't expect it would beWanda. If I knew that i t was Wanda, I wouldn't have said that."

After hearing her words, I snickered. "You really know how to act. When the call connected, youcalled out m y name in a warm voice before I could even speak."

Cindy did not bother paying any attention to me and just kept looking at Theo with tears in hereyes." Theowy, I really didn't know-"

"Enough." She did not expect Theo to interrupt her. " I'll have Keith send you back. You've been withme here long enough."

"I don't want to go home yet." Cindy bit her lip. She was a little reluctant. "My dad told me to followyou

around more and learn, so the longer I stay, the better."

Theo pinched the bridge of his nose and looked a little impatient. "I'm very busy and don't have timeto teach you anything. If you insist on staying, then I'll have to make you leave."

After Theo said that, he took the blazer on the back of the sofa and tugged my arm to take me awaywith him.

Cindy blew up. "Theowy, why are you so reluctant to see me now?"

"You can assume whatever you want." Theo was getting better at dealing with Cindy.

"I..." Cindy crossed her arms together. She looked so aggrieved as if she was going to cry the verynext second. "Fine. I'm leaving now."

When I saw her reluctantly leaving, I felt indifferent. Nothing was surging inside of me.

The office door closed and I sat back on the sofa. I looked indifferently at Theo. "The receptionisttold me that your wife comes to see you every day. She said your wife is very kind and caringtoward you. I thought she was talking about me. I didn’t realize she was actually talking about MissReed."

"What are you talking about?" Theo's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Don't you understand?" I reached out and held the corner of his shirt. He naturally lowered hisbody and let me wrap my arms around his neck. "Miss Reed is pregnant and comes to see youevery day. She cares for you daily, so doesn’t she seem more like your wife than me?"

After hearing what I said, Theo's face darkened. "You had to endure that downstairs?"

After he said that, he stood up and walked to his desk. He picked up the landline as he dialed theinternal line.

"Fire everyone at the front desk." Theo was especially cold and ruthless when he gave the order."And don't let Cindy into the office anymore no matter who brings her in. Understand?"

After he hung up the phone, Theo turned around and asked with a smile, "Satisfied?"

"Good enough." I expressed that I was fairly satisfied.

Theo sat down next to me and squeezed my leg. "Do your legs hurt from standing down there for solong?"

"It's alright." I grabbed the two insulated lunch boxes o n the coffee table and opened them. "Youhaven’t had your lunch, right? Here, have this while it's still hot."

When he saw that it was lasagne, Theo had a faint smile on his face and asked, "Did you make thisyourself?"

I curled my lips. "As if."

Theo nodded. "Make it for me tomorrow, then."
