Chapter 1656


    He helped me up and walked me to the side of the table.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.


    "You look calm," I said.


    I knew Theo had always been calm in handling things, but judging from his personality, he would have thought that it was a strange thing to run into Jordan in France. However, it seemed like he had already known about this.


    Theo rose to his feet and walked toward the kitchen. I watched him take the carton of milk out and pour some milk into a ss.


    "Honestly, I already knew that he was going to be here. Besides, I saw theirpany''s employees on the first day of the exhibition. I saw his assistant too.


    That''s why I guessed that he was probably


    in France too. But I didn''t expect he would have brought Shannon to France as well."


    Theo had already ced the ss of milk into the microwave while he was busy talking. The buzzing noise of the microwave slowly calmed me down.


    "Then why did hee here?" I immediately questioned him.


    "For the same reason as me. He wants to enter the mecha industry too," answered Theo.


    "He''s noting for you?" I was surprised to hear his answer.


    Theo leaned against the countertop with his back facing me. I walked toward him, wanting to know the answer as soon as possible.


    "Yes, and no." Theo paused for a moment and continued, "It''s actually easy. He''s still


    holding a grudge against me because of the business cooperation. Unfortunately, the die is cast, and there''s nothing he can do to change it. The only thing that he can do is find a loophole to defeat me, hence why he chose to enter the mecha industry that I''ve just entered. He wants to defeat me in this field."


    Theo smiled and shrugged his shoulders.


    "But he''s a beginner too," I replied.


    "You''re right. That''s why he''s sure that he can beat me this time," said Theo. There was a confident smile on his face.


    I liked his smile. Every time I saw that smile, it showed that he had confidence that he would not be defeated easily. I knew Theo was capable of doing that.


    "I challenged him today and told him to have a fairpetition," said Theo.


    "You said that to him?" I was a little confused.


    "Yeah. I was talking to Jordan in the cafe when you called me this afternoon. He told me everything 1 told you just now!" exined Theo.


    I slightly frowned and asked, "Can we trust him?"


    Besides, Jordan even said that he wanted fair y, but how could he possibly be fair and honest?


    Thetter half of the sentence was something I secretly mumbled to myself did not even have to listen to Theo''s answer and I could already determine that Jordan was definitely not an honest person.


    If what he said was true, he would not havee here.


    "I guess I don''t have to worry about that. There are rules and regtions in every industry. Since I''ve just entered a new industry, I''ll just follow the rules here. As for the others, I have nothing to do with them" replied Theo.


    Theo''s confidence was telling me that he knew exactly what kind of person Jordan was.


    "Don''t worry. Qne has to earn the merits oneself to be one of the top few figures in this industry. Jordan can buy otherpanies, but thepany needs to be strong and capable enough. If he''s doing that, he''s the one who should be worried," said Theo.


    There came the microwave''s ding, indicating that the milk had been warmed.


    Theo took the ss of milk out of the microwave for me and ced it in front of me.


    ''Trust me. I won''t lose," said Theo.


    I took the ss from him. The warm milk warmed my body, and the fear in my heart slowly disappeared.


    "But I''m still worried. Let''s stick together if we''re traveling abroad next time. I''ll be nearby even if you have to work," I replied.


    Theo held me in his arms after I took the ss of milk from him. He said, "I promise."


    Thest hint of uneasiness in my heart went away in his embrace.
