Chapter 886

Did Theo get up early to buy them and bring them back before going to the company?

Caroline looked at the bouquet of delicate roses on the coffee table, and her smile became a littleambiguous.

"Mr. Keith sent the roses. Mr. Grant said that you've been in a bad mood lately so having flowers athome can lighten your mood."

I cast my eyes down and smiled. "How thoughtful of him."

After Caroline made breakfast, I went to the dining room.

I ate my oatmeal while scrolling on my phone to follow up on the news.

From the video Celine showed me yesterday, she did indeed push Elena. No matter how sheexplained herself, there was no way for her to clarify it. As Celine was a long-term employee in thecompany, the board o f directors eventually decided to transfer her back to her original position inSalt City.

Everyone was satisfied by how this was dealt with.

When Elena was discharged from the hospital, this matter came to an end as well.

It would be New Year's Eve in another ten days, so Caroline and I began to do our groceryshopping.

On this day, Celine gave me a call but I did not answer and chose to hang up instead. I then senther a text: [ Take care.]

This person had a completely different worldview from mine. There was no need for us to keep intouch anymore.

Theo gave me a call at noon. When I picked it up, the man's warm and gentle voice rang out, "Haveyou had lunch?”

It seemed that there was never an exchange of passionate or fiery expressions between usbecause h e had directed all of his attention to the trivial things i n our lives. Enquiring about eachother’s well-being seemed to have turned into a habit now.

I nodded and nestled on the sofa, feeling a little drowsy. "I've eaten."

After a pause, I continued, "I'm home alone and it’s a little boring."

Theo chuckled. "Do you want to come and pick me up from work, then?"

I got up from the sofa and stood up, answering with a smile, "Sure."

I heard the man chuckle and imagined his face that was filled with delight, which put me in a muchbetter mood.

"Why didn’t you ask me if I’ve eaten?" Theo asked with a smile.

I was stunned, then asked in amusement, "Have you eaten?"

"I have."

I laughed. "Don't you have anything better to do?"

When a 17 or 18-year-old was in love, it would be a shy and bashful one, the kind where one wouldlower one’s head and blush. When a 25 or 26-year-old was in love, it would be a bold and

passionate one. When someone past 30 was in love, it would be as calm as the water, difficult tomake waves.

My current relationship with Theo, however, was calm as the water yet was still able to make greatwaves.

There was still a long time before Theo got off work, hence I took my time and planned to take anap.

I slept for a very long time. It was already dark when I woke up.

I quickly grabbed my phone and saw that it was eight o'clock.

There were several missed calls, and they were all from Theo.

I was about to call him back when I saw the note on the coffee table.

I took a look at it. It turned out that Theo had already come back. He was not at home now becauseZedd

wanted to meet him, so he went out.

I had been sleeping a lot lately. After sitting back on the sofa, I called Theo.

"Have you eaten dinner?" As soon as the call was answered, the man's low and seductive voicerang out. I pursed my lips. "I’m not very hungry. Where are you?"
