Chapter 2341

While I was working in the afternoon, my phone suddenly rang. I nced at the caller ID. It was Sylvester.
"What''s the matter?" I answered the phone coldly.
"Father wants to meet you, Wanda. Why don''t you just meet him once?"
I felt no tenderness at all. There was no need to waste time on unnecessary things. "No need. There''s no use for us to meet. You don''t need to y emissary anymore."
Sylvester sighed. "Regardless of what you say, he''s your father," he said earnestly.This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
I did not want to listen to his useless rhetoric. Now that I had made a decision, I would not regret it so easily. "If there''s nothing else, I''m going to hang up now"
"Wanda, are you so cruel?" came the question from the phone.
I sneered. Cruel? Whatever. "I still have work, so I''ll hang up first." I then ended the call without giving him the chance to reply.
After that, I immediately went back to work.
It was nighttime.
I noticed Theo was being absentminded during dinner. He was mostly just eating in rice.
He left the table after just taking a few bites.
I deliberately went looking for Theo after I was done cleaning up. "Theo, what''s wrong with you? You seem to have something on your mind."
He nced at me, putting on a faint smile. "It''s nothing."
I knew he was being stubborn, so I leaned close to him and hugged his arm. "What happened? Tell me, maybe I can help you?"
Theo paused. A trace of emotion shed through his eyes. It happened so quickly that I did not catch it.
"It''s nothing, don''t worry."
I was a little unhappy. He would not even let me know what happened to him. I was even more worried when I thought that something serious had happened.
"How could it be nothing? Look, your brows are all furrowed. Did you encounter some trouble?"
When Theo heard what I said, he rxed his features, but he still looked sad. "Don''t think too much about it."
I could hear the half-heartedness in his words. The more he was like this, the more worried I was.
After all, this rarely happened to him.
"What''s going on that you have to hide it even from me?"
I deliberately pretended to be a little angry, but as expected, he smiled helplessly and quickly opened his mouth tofort me.
"I''m really fine. It''s just some issues with work. Don''t worry."
I could tell he was not telling the
truth, but he did not say anything et
else. I knew it was useless to continue asking. "Alright them. If you need my help, just ask."
Theo nodded. "It''s gettingte. Let''s sleep."
Seeing that I could not get anything out of him, I had to give up.
The next day, I thought of his mncholic appearance from the day before the moment I arrived at thepany. I figured Keith would know what was going on if it was about work.
Without further ado, I called him.
"Madam."
"Keith, Theo doesn''t look too good. Did something happen?"
"What''s wrong with President Grant? I didn''t notice any problem with him. Did he say something to you?" Keith asked in a calm, formic tone. "No, it''s just that he looked like he had something on his mind when I saw him yesterday. That''s why I''m asking you if there''s any problem at work?" "You can ask President Grant about this yourself. There''s a limit to what I know. I don''t know the answer even if you ask me," Keith replied politely. He refused to reveal a word.
I guessed he might really be in the dark about this specific situation and was even more confused, Just what happened that even Keith had no idea about it?
