Chapter 850
I leaned against him just like that, and he did not move either. It was a warm and peaceful
atmosphere.
There was a knock on the door and Theo said mildly, " Come in."
I wanted to pull away from him but he wrapped his arm around my shoulders to keep me from
moving.
Left with no other choice and to avoid feeling awkward, I closed my eyes and pretended to be
asleep.
The woman who came in was the same woman who came to see Theo earlier. She walked over
and handed Theo a file. She then said in a sweet voice, "Mr. Grant, the design is out. Can you take
a look at it and see what needs to be improved?"
Theo moved so lightly that before I could feel it, he was already flipping the pages. "I’m not an
expert in this area. If you and the other engineers think it’s fine, you can start manufacturing it."
"Okay, sure," the woman said.
After she walked out of the office, the man''s deep and attractive voice rang out in my ears. I could
vaguely detect a hint ofughter. "You''re pretty good at pretending to sleep."

Did I need to pretend to sleep if he had not stopped me from moving?
I opened my eyes and looked up at his chin. "Zimmer Corporations has long entered the artificial
intelligence machinery market. Now that you''ve hired such a talent to develop artificial intelligence
technology, are you nning to acquire Zimmer Corporations when the time is right and develop it
vigorously?"
He raised his eyebrows and pulled the nket that had slipped to myp to my body. "Not entirely."
After a pause, he asked, "How did you know?"
I shrugged, kind enough not to expose Keith. "I read the file just now."
However, Keith seemed to have already reported everything to Theo about what I had asked him
earlier. He pinched my chin and said with a faint smile, "Her name isn’t written in the file."
I helplessly smiled. "It''s inevitably unsettling for me to see such a stunningdy around you."
He smiled slightly and reached out to put his arms around me. "If I make you feel so unsettled, why
are you still so inattentive, then?"
I raised my eyebrows. "Inattentive?"
He turned to look at the desk, and I followed his gaze.
I saw a bag of cauliflower on the desk and my lips
twitched. Keith was not an idiot.
Theo looked at me once more and said with a faint smile, "I''ve given you flowers, but never
cauliflower.”
"Would you believe me if I said that I casually grabbed it?" I thought Keith would bring it home and
cook it, but he actually brought it for Theo just like that. He sure was a direct man.
Theo''s smile deepened. "Casually?”

I could not continue this subject anymore and quickly said, "I''ll buy you a bouquet of flowers next
time. Are you done with your work? It''s gettingte and we should go to the supermarket. Munchkin
won’t be happy if we go home toote."
He raised his hand and brushed my nose, saying helplessly, "Trying to brush me off, huh?”

We left the office and bumped into Elena talking to Keith.
The woman was stunning and could easily attract a person''s attention.
Keith nodded to greet me and Theo when he saw us. H e then continued dealing with the
documents in his hand.
Elena, on the other hand, was constantly staring at Theo.
When she sensed that I was looking at her, she let out
a faint smile.
I returned the smile and entered the elevator with Theo.
We drove my car to the supermarket. When I was looking for my car keys in my bag, I noticed my
bare wrist. I wondered if I should wear some jewelry on it like Elena.
"What are you thinking about?” Theo asked, taking the key from my hands naturally.
We got into the car and started the car engine.
I sat in the front passenger seat and said after a pause, "I''m taking the car for maintenance in two
days."
