Chapter 1156


    When I returned to my room, I took out the documents and started to organize them, though I was


    constantly distracted.


    I took a deep breath and tossed the documents aside. I got up to get some fresh air on the balcony.


    This balcony was just a wall away from the next one. Theo was lying on the balcony reading a book,


    looking pretty idle.


    I instinctively wanted to avoid him when I saw him.


    However, there seemed to be eyes above his head as he looked up at me before leisurely putting


    the book in his hand on the side. He stared fixedly at me with his pair of dark eyes.


    I did not know whether to go in or retreat, s o I stood awkwardly on the spot.


    He did not intend to start the conversation first, so I could only helplessly say, "What a coincidence,


    Mr. Grant."


    Theo pursed his lips and said in a faint tone, "It''s not a coincidence."


    How was I supposed to start a conversation with a man like him?


    I tugged at the corner of my mouth and faked a smile, saying, "I''m going in now, M r. Grant. I’ll leave


    you to read your book, then."


    "Can you hide forever?" the man asked, his voice low and introspective.


    I pursed my lips and put away the smile on my face. "You think too much. I''m not trying to hide from


    you. I really do have things to do."


    Theo lowered his eyes and said mildly, '' This project needs to be followed up by the person in


    charge at all times. Grant Corporation ns to reach an agreement with the resort tomorrow. Ms.


    Cally doesn''t know much about the project, and this may cause confusion on the scene."


    I said almost subconsciously, "Ms. Cally knows a lot. She can perform a lot better than me in many


    aspects, so you don’t have to worry about that."


    Theo smiled faintly, his gaze falling casually on the flowers in front of him. '' One is unable to see


    one’s own faults.


    Haven''t you heard of this saying before? She’s too familiar with Fredericks


    Corporation and knows many problems regarding thepany yet takes no notice


    of it.


    After thinking about it, I said, "I''ll go over tomorrow as well, then. Don''t worry, Mr. Grant. Since


    Fredericks Corporation has epted this project, we''ll definitely do our best to carry out the project


    well."


    Theo looked up at me with a gaze as deep a s the bottom of the sea. It was hard to tell his emotions


    from his eyes.


    I was afraid to look into such eyes for too long because I would sink into them without noticing.


    Early next morning, Cally gave me a call and sounded a little anxious. “Are you feeling better today,


    Wanda? If you are, then can youe over to the construction site for a while?"


    I had a bad feeling for some reason, so I asked in a deep and low voice, "What''s


    wrong? Did something happen?"


    Cally sighed. "The intelligent research institute that Grant Corporation and Fredericks Corporation


    built is entered by all sorts of people every day because the equipment hasn''t been shipped over.


    Although Mr. Fredericks has hired people t o keep an eye, no matter how careful we were, things


    were still overlooked.


    Someone broke inst night and took away plenty of things. The police havee over to


    investigate. I just contacted Mr. Grant and asked him to send someone over to check with us to see


    what exactly was lost."


    Cally sounded like she was about to cry. "I even went and checked before I leftst night. I


    constantly emphasized how they should keep an eye on the items and carefully inspect all the


    personnel going in, but it still happened nheless."


    The incident had happened and there was no use crying over spilled milk, so I could onlyfort


    her, saying, "Don''t panic, Lally. There are a lot of surveince cameras in the research institute. We


    should be able to get the items back soon."


    I continued while putting on my clothes," I’m going over right now. You must stay calm and assist


    the police. Minimize losses as much as possible."

    I hung up after saying that and grabbed my bag before rushing out the door.


    When I got to the yard, I happened to bump into Keith walking out as well.


    The anxiety on his face reduced slightly when he saw me. "Are you going to the resort, Mrs. Grant?"


    I nodded. "Yeah.


    "Let''s go together then. Mr. Grant and I are going too."
