Chapter 1085
Elena nodded with a smile. “Sure."
Her smile was warm, making her look very generous.
This had made the employees of Fredericks Corporations seem narrowminded. Cally''s
countenance suddenly sank.
Jordan looked at me and said coolly, "I think you should do it, Ms. Lane. How can our guests pour
their own tea?"
I nodded and walked over to pour tea.
Elena had already stood up. When Theo saw that I was there to pour tea, he said to Jordan, “Don''t
be polite with me, Mr.
Fredericks. We’re going to be partners in the future. We’ll have to work together for a long time.
There are many things we can''t d o well if we’re too polite."
Jordan smiled slightly. "You''re right, Mr. Grant. But this is our first formal meeting, s o the proper
etiquette needs to be in ce."
Theo nodded with a smile, then looked at Elena and said softly, ''Since Ms. Lane is willing, then you
should let her do it. Your leg injury has not healed yet, so sit down and take a rest."
If these words were said on any other asion, or in a private room where no one was around, or if
someone else had said it, then it would not sound strange at all. However, these words came out of
the mouth of an icy man like Theo.
All of a sudden, everyone looked at Theo and Elena with ambiguous gazes. Some employees from
Grant Corporation who did not know me put on an expression that seemed to confirm their previous
thoughts.
It seemed like everyone thought Theo and Elena had been flirting and they finally received a
confirmation now.
Elena froze a little, then her wlessly fair face started blushing, which made her look quite dainty.
Jordan nced at me before retracting his gaze and continuing his discussion about the project
with Theo.
Theo wanted to build a resort on this plot ofnd. The profit ceiling would be too low if i t was an
ordinary resort, so he intended to merge it with Grant Corporation''s recent involvement in the field of
intelligence to create a unique resort. He nned to have a series of industrial chains in the resort’s
surroundings.
When the two bosses discussed the project, the rest of us could only listen quietly from the
sidelines.
I had poured tea before, and now that I was extra careful about everything, I knew that I was not
going to make any mistakes.
When Elena passed by, however, she deliberately tripped me. I fell on the floor in a very wretched
state.
Hot water spilled on me and I could not help but cry out in pain.
Lally was quick to react and rushed over to help me up. She asked a little worriedly," I’ll take you to
the washroom to get this cleaned up.”
She nned to take me away after saying that.
"Wait," Elena called out to us in a cold voice. "The project meeting is about to start. Don’t you need
to organize the files needed for the meeting and do a project report, Ms. Lane? Mr. Grant still has
work t o do this afternoon and has no time to waste here.”
Gaily looked back at her with a frown. "She has been scalded and needs to go out to get it treated.”

Elena nodded. "I understand. I don''t mean t o be harsh. I''m just reminding you to pay attention to
the time. Go on, then. It won’t b e good if a woman has scars.”
Both men exchanged nces. Jordan looked at me and asked, "Are you okay?”
I nodded. "The water isn’t very hot. I’ll get changed ande back as soon as I can."
Jordan said, "I have clothes in the lounge of my office. Get changed ande back earlier.
Cally wanted toe with me but I refused. I looked at her and smiled slightly, saying, "I''m fine. I
can go by myself. Stay here.”
After going to the washroom to rinse my scalded hand, I went to Jordan’s office.
Although I doubted that there was women''s clothing in Jordan’s office, I knew it was not realistic for
me to go out and buy clothes now. I could only go and take a look.
The decor in Jordan''s lounge was very simple. There was nothing else aside from a bed and
wardrobe. It was in and cool,pletely in line with his character.
