Chapter 1257


    Theo raised his eyes to nce at me. I red at him, snatched over the cigarette in his hands, snapped it in half, and threw it in the rubbish bin.


    "Who allowed you to smoke?"


    Theo smiled faintly as he got up and circled his arm around my waist. He smiled and said, "It’s all my fault.”


    "You aren''t allowed to smoke anymore.”

    Cindy did not expect me to overhear what she said while badmouthing me. After being momentarily stunned, she looked at Zedd and spoke up in an


    aggrieved tone," Zedd, you know that I didn''t mean anything else. I was just making a joke." "I know." Zeddforted her at once. "It''s alright.”


    Could one just cover the bad things that they said with a simple joke?


    I sneered. I did not feel like saying anything else.


    Since it was not early anymore, Theo and I returned to our ce to rest after walking around the area nearby the hotel for a short while.


    We had been busy for an entire day. I was tired and sleepy right now. I fell asleep as soon as Iy on the bed after showering


    While I was half-asleep, I vaguely heard Theo telling me something. However, I could not remember what he said. I murmured a blur response to him


    and fell asleep.


    It was not long until National Day.


    Although I would not be ableplete the project before National Day, I could still finish some of the important tasks at hand.


    Theo was not in the room when I woke up in the morning. There was a note on the bedside table.


    I picked it up and looked at the note. [Something came up and I have to make a trip to the city. Remember to have your meals on time.]


    I smiled, climbed out of the sheets, and got down from the bed. After finishing breakfast, I headed out and went to the office.


    Since there wauld be a third party


    joining the project, our work

    Hence, my workload increased as well.


    I went to the research institute to overlook the work process. After ensuring that everyone was working as scheduled, I headed to the construction


    site.


    Matthew was at the construction site. He was going around the site to inspect it while wearing a construction helmet


    After seeing me, he walked over and asked, "Are you the person in charge of this project?"


    I acted seriously after noticing the grave expression on his face. "Yes. Are there any problems?"


    Matthew nodded and said, "We might need to discuss some details.’ “Alright, say it.”


    “Although it isn''t a big problem, there


    may be some hidden problems if we


    don''t manage this in time. It''s better,


    to take precautions against every


    possibterisk. Besides, your research


    instityte is extremely odd. Is there an


    underground car park? If there” san

    I shook my head and said, "There won''t be an underground car park."


    "In that case, why is the foundation so deep under the ground?"


    I recalled the thick wall of the research institute.


    Matthew did ask me any more


    questions after noticing that I was


    not sayinganything. Heughed apd


    said,” Let''s have lunch together in>


    the afternoon." I rejected his offer


    instietively. ‘can''t. I still have

    "Do you intend to avoid me forever?" Matthew interrupted my words. "After all, we''re business partners now. I don''t think it''s scandalous for business


    partners to have lunch together."
