Chapter 1037


    Theo slowly opened his eyes and looked at me with a smile. "You''re awake?”


    My brain was still in a frozen state, so I asked in astonishment, "What are you doing here?"


    The man raised his eyebrows. "Why can''t I be here?”


    I swallowed my saliva. "Yesterday-"


    "Are you hungry?” Theo cut me off and asked with a smile.


    I pursed my lips. "I should go.”


    I nned to get out of bed after saying that.


    I still needed to go to work and had no time to waste with him.


    Theo grabbed my arm and asked with a frown, "Where are you going?”


    I looked at him and fell silent for a very long time before saying mildly, "Theo, just take it as though


    we lost control because we were drunkst night. From now on-"


    "From now on, we''ll each go our separate ways?"


    He cut me off again, and the gentleness in his voice was gone. It was now cold and harsh.


    "Am I a beast, Wanda? Why do you want to stay away from me that much?"


    I pursed my lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.


    After a long time, I said, "I just want to live the life I want. It''s not that you''re not good, but we don’t


    belong together. We should live our own lives."


    "Bullshit!" He was furious. "What do you mean we don’t belong together? Why don''t we belong


    together?"


    I lowered my gaze, afraid to look into his eyes." Because neither of us will be happy together, so I


    want to search for a life of my own and not continue to get entangled with you."


    Theo merely looked at me with cold eyes and did not say anything else.


    I knew him well. He was angry, furious even.


    I said no more, got out of bed to put on my clothes, and quickly left the hotel. 2


    After leaving the hotel, I took a cab and went straight t 0 Fredericks Corporation.


    The consequence of a hangover was that my body was still a little weak now and I felt very low-


    spirited at the moment.


    When I arrived at Fredericks Corporation, I saw that there was still one minute left to nine. I


    punched my card at lightning speed.


    When I got upstairs to the office door, I was still panting a little.


    I pushed the office door open and saw Jordan d in a ck suit. He was sitting on an office chair


    and looking at me with a dark gaze.


    I froze before quickly putting on a smile to greet him," Good morning, Mr. Fredericks."


    Shannon said he had too much to drinkst night. I wondered how things progressed between


    them.


    Jordan did not say anything and merely stared at me.


    I felt ufortable by his gaze and stiffly sat down at my workstation.

    Gaily walked in with a pile of documents in her hands. She put them on my table and said, "You


    have a few more tasks to do today, Ms. Lane. It''s going to be a little hard for you."


    I nodded with a smile. "I''ll take care of them as soon a s I can."


    When Gaily left, I saw Jordan staring at me and could not stand it anymore. I asked, "Do you have


    anything you need me to do, Mr. Fredericks?"


    "You didn''t go homest night. Where did you go?" he asked in a deep voice.


    I was a little stunned, then smiled to conceal my embarrassment. "I met a friend at the club


    yesterday and had a few more drinks with him. We stayed up all night because we forgot about the


    time."


    I knew this was a far-fetched excuse, but I could not find a more suitable excuse than this in such a


    short period of time. 1
