Chapter 1304


    I realized that he was getting better at saying honeyed words. I was on cloud nine after hearing a


    few simple words.


    "Can we have dinner together?" he spoke softly into my ear.


    I wanted to agree, but after recalling that I had promised to have dinner with Tyler, I could only


    apologetically say, “I promised my brother to have dinner with him. He seems to be in an argument


    with Susan and is in a pretty bad mood."


    Theo frowned. "Why is heing to you when they''re having a fight? Are you a trash bin that he


    can dump his trash into?''


    I froze and lifted my hand to pinch his waist, saying with displeasure, "What are you talking about?


    People will be in a bad mood sometimes. Besides, I haven''t seen my brother for so long, so


    shouldn’t we have a meal together now that I''m back?"


    Theo harrumphed softly and ced his chin on my shoulder, acting like a spoiled brat. "Sure, you


    can go. But you must bring me with you. I don''t want to eat alone anymore because nothing tastes


    good."


    I could only helplessly agree. "Okay, let''s go together, then.”


    This was my first time finding it interesting to apany Theo at work.


    Even though I was only looking at him quietly now, I realized that the man disyed full elegance


    and nobility in everything he did.


    It was truly a blissful thing to be able to admire a moving picture of a beautiful man up close like


    that.


    Perhaps I was too focused on his face that I only returned to my senses after Theo put down his


    pen and turned to look at me.


    He stared at me with a pair of pitch-ck eyes, his thin lips parting slightly. "Come here."

    As though being enchanted, I stood up and walked over.


    Theo was pleased and gently smirked. He grabbed my arm and gave a gentle tug, making me sit on


    hisp.


    He asked me with a smile, "Am I nice to look at?"


    I blushed and nodded. "Yeah.”


    He looked to be in a very good mood. "You shouldn’t be staring at me like that even if I’m nice to


    look at. You can stare at me in any way that you want when we go home tonight. Otherwise, I may


    not be able to work."


    I was not able to grasp the deeper meaning of this sentence at first. It was not until I felt the warmth


    on my thighs did I blush and quickly hopped off of him.


    However, he pressed me down and moved his lips closer to my ear, asking with a heavy breath,


    "Where do you think you''re going?”


    I dared not meet his gaze, so I lowered my head and muttered softly, "I don''t want to affect your


    work progress."


    He raised his eyebrows. "You''ve already affected me."


    I grew even more flustered now.


    Fortunately, he did not do anything and merely embraced me.


    After embracing me for a few minutes, he made me lean in his arms and continued with his work.


    I dared not move at first, but I gradually rxed a little after that. I leaned on his shoulder and


    looked at him with great attention just like when he was working.


    I did not remember when I fell asleep because I was already lying on the lounge bed when I woke


    up.


    Theo''s and Keith’s voices wereing from outside the door.


    "What happened this time is different from thest. Someone is fueling the mes and ndering


    Grant Corporation. The inte is full of public ounts smearing Grant


    Corporation''s name. They''re even bringing up your and Mrs. Grant''s affairs." "What affairs?" Theo''s


    voice was icy. "They say that your marriage with Mrs. Grant is a business alliance, in which neither


    of you loves each other. Also, they''re saying that you have a mistress and another family of your


    own. The same goes for Mrs. Grant, who''s said to be in aplicated rtionship with a married


    man. Both of you are said to have very chaotic private lives."


    I frowned and pulled out my phone to check the news app.


    After selecting the city, I saw the article that ndered Theo and me.


    I tapped into one of the articles with the most views and scanned through it. It was in bullshit.


    None of the things written on it were true.


    Theo''s voice was heard outside the door.'' Leave this aside and keep a close watch on Fredericks


    Corporations. Seeing how big of a fuss they''re making. I’m sure the best has yet toe.”


    "Alright, I understand."


    Hearing the door closed, I figured that Keith must have left.


    I got out of bed and walked out of the lounge. Theo raised his head to look at me." You''re awake.”


    I nodded and walked up to him, asking, "Is this a thorny problem?”


    He put down his pen and got up. He grabbed his car keys and coat, then held my hand and said,


    "It’s fine. It''s time to eat."


    He did not want to tell me anything, so I did not ask further.


    After getting into the car, I remembered that I promised Tyler to have dinner together. I quickly


    looked at Theo and said to him, "Go to Golden Mountain Restaurant."


    "Okay."


    Theo started the car engine, looking unfazed by anything.


    I pursed my lips and still could not help but ask, "Why don''t you seem anxious at all about the


    company?"


    We happened toe to a red light at an intersection. He held my hand and gently gave a


    squeeze. "Are you worried that I won’t be able to take care of you after Grant Corporation goes


    bankrupt?"


    My mouth twitched. "You know that''s not what I mean."


    "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing." His tone was firm, and there was a look of victory on his face.


    The business world was full of changes. Life or death could happen within a split second.


    The past incident was extremely serious, so even though he seemed confident, I was still worried.


    When we arrived at Golden Mountain Restaurant, Theo and I got out of the car.


    The restaurant''s name might sound imposing, but it was really an elegant ce.


    I thought Tyler would go to a club to vent out his emotions. He would drink while pouring his heart


    out to me. I never expected him toe to such a quaint ce instead.


    After entering the restaurant, thedy in charge of receiving the guests nodded to us. "Wee,


    you must be Mr. Schuman''s friends. I''ll take you to him."


    I followed behind him with a look of curiosity. "Don’t tell me Tyler has shares in this restaurant?”


    Theo and I were brought up to the second floor after that. The private room was near one side of


    theke, opening up to a gorgeous night view of theke. The lights that were reflected on theke


    made the surface sparkle, reflecting the lights on thekeside. Through only a quick nce, one


    could already sense the extraordinarily beautiful atmosphere.


    Tyler was leaning back in his chair a littlenguidly, chewing something in his mouth. It made him


    look frivolous and unserious.


    When he saw that I had brought Theo along, Tyler said to him, "Why are you just like an unweaned


    child? You go everywhere your wife goes. Aren’t you worried that your wife will be annoyed?"


    Theo looked indifferently at him, ignored him, and went over to take a seat. He looked at the


    scenery outside the window.


    I went to take a seat as well. Looking at Tyler’s frivolous demeanor, I asked with slight displeasure,


    "What''s with you? Why are you acting so weird?"
