Chapter 424

I was taken aback and gave it some thought. I did not think that the other employees would be suchblabbermouths, so I said, "I've been alone all this while. No one else was here."

Theo narrowed his eyes and grabbed my hand. "Are you really going to lie?"

I frowned. "Let go."

Theo asked again, "Why is your hair wet?"

I honestly thought that this man was extremely annoying. I was impatient. "Cindy splashed tea onme. Do you wanna splash her back for me?"

Theo smirked. "Now?"

<< H

I did not know what this man meant. I removed my hands from his palms and said faintly, "It's not abig deal anyway. I'll continue working."

As I was about to get up, Theo pressed me down on my shoulders. "Why was she here?"

"We talked for a long while." I pinched the bridge of m y nose and felt a little weary. "I'm tired, I don’twant to talk about it now."

Theo’s lips were pursed. "Then you have to tell me

about it tonight when we're home."

My face was colored with impatience. "Okay, okay."

I picked up the cup on the table and drank a few mouthfuls of water. I asked nonchalantly, "Why didyou come back?"

Theo sighed. "Mason, Zedd, and I were nearby. We were having a work meeting. When I saw Cindycoming out of your office building, I came over to take a look."

I knew my employees would not be such blabbermouths to tell Theo that Cindy had come. It turnedout that Theo had seen Cindy leaving.

"Go back, then.” It was not worth it to have two people's work delayed just because of Cindy.

Theo nodded. "You should take a shower and change your clothes. I'll leave when you're done."

I frowned. "Too much hassle."

"Are you waiting to get sick? Your hair and clothes are wet." Theo’s tone was a little heavy. "It won'ttake you too much time to shower and change. I know that because even when I'm working, I stillhave time to shower and change."

I found his words unpleasant, so my expression showed my unhappiness. "Yes, I'm the busiestperson i n the entire world. I’m so busy I don’t even have time t o shower and change."

Theo’s brows were tightly knitted together. "Wanda

Lane, why can't you be more obedient? I'm showing concern for you, not looking to argue with you."

I pursed my lips and did not say anything more.

"Be good." His tone softened. "I'll blow-dry your hair for you when you're done with your shower."

He was indeed caring, and I should not take his care for granted.

I nodded and headed to the restroom.

Showering and changing indeed did not take a long time, so I was out of the restroom after a while.

Theo was on a phone call by the window, so I stopped i n my tracks.

After overhearing a few sentences, I knew that he was on the phone with Cindy. I could not help butlaugh coldly. I knew Cindy would complain to Theo once she got back. She was exactly like a child.

"Cindy, you’re not a kid anymore. You can't expect everything to go your way. No one is obligated toindulge in your every whim, and Wanda especially won't do that. There's nothing between you twothat needs to be dealt with. I hope you’ll stop looking for trouble with her." Theo's voice was lacedwith anger.

He looked over, perhaps after feeling my gaze on him.
