    Yes, I was narrow-minded like that. No one said that I could not be narrow-minded in such a situation


    Cindy looked at me and said very sincerely, "Thank you, Ms. Lane.”


    She called him Theowy but called me Ms. Lane.


    I refused to believe that she was not doing it on purpose.


    I suppressed the displeasure in my heart and ndly said, "You''re wee. It''s my duty as Theo''s wife.”


    Cindy''s expression instantly changed


    After that. I ignored them and walked straight into the elevator.


    When I walked out of the amedation, I saw Shannon and Jordan standing at the door.


    Shannon rushed over to hold my hand and said, "You finally came downstairs.”


    I smiled. "Why didn’t you call me or go upstairs to knock on the door?”


    Shannon replied, "It''s nothing important. Besides, your husband was just on a long flight, so I should let him get some rest."


    "Is something the matter?”


    Shannon nodded. ‘There is something, but it isn''t a private matter but apany matter. Do you mind if we tag along and cadge a meal?"


    Dally got out of the car holding two bottles of wine. "We won''t cadge a meal. We brought wine.”


    Jordan looked at Theo and said with a smile, “Mr. Grant, the project is now on track, so we thought about inviting you to have a small celebration. Are


    you free?"


    Theo smiled slightly and looked at me. " You have to ask my wife, then. I promised to take her out for hotpot tonight.”


    Shannon and Gaily both tutted, feeling like they had just turned into third wheels.


    Jordan said to me, "Do you mind if we join you for hotpot, Mrs. Grant?"


    “Let''s go." Shannon waved my hand. "Let''s eat together, bestie. The food will taste better when more of us are around.”


    I nodded. "Sure.


    I agreed in a heartbeat.


    If they were not around, then Theo, Cindy, and I would have an extremely awkward time eating together. It would affect my appetite too.


    With Shannon and the rest joining, I would feel less bothered by itProperty belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.

    "It''s okay,” Cindy said a little awkwardly. "I don’t usually drink juice.”


    Theo put his juice in front of her. "You can


    have it.’


    He had dorie it so naturally that it

    and Lally were both stunned. They

    I pursed my lips and lowered my head to sip on the juice.


    It did not taste very good. It was a little too sweet.


    Cindy took a sip and said with a smile, "It''s really good."


    She handed the juice to Theo. “Why don''t you try it, Theowy? It''s really good.”
