Chapter 2356


    ?


    Fast forward to Monday night.


    Since the ceremony was on Wednesday, I nned to head over to Salt City by Tuesday.


    Theo came in and bumped into me when I was packing my luggage that night. He took a look and asked, "Where are you going?"


    "Oh, my university chancellor called. There''s a banquet on Wednesday night, and they want me to go back for the opening ceremony. I agreed and n to leave tomorrow," I responded to him.


    Hearing this, Theo''s handsome features furrowed. "Why didn''t you tell me earlier?"


    Seeing his tight expression, I lowered my head and smirked slightly. "It''s just a small matter. I thought you were busy with work recently, so I didn''t tell you. I''ll be back in two days. Don''t worry."Content ? copyrighted by N?velDrama.Org.


    "Are you going alone?"


    "Yes. Would you be free to apany me otherwise, President Grant?" I simply asked back expectantly, eager to hear Theo answer. However, my words stumped him.


    He was frozen for a moment, and there was hesitation in his eyes.


    A long time passed before I heard his voice. "There are a lot of things going on at thepany recently, so I can''t step away. Let me get Keith to apany you so you have someone to take care of you."


    "No, I can take care of myself. It''s only two days. It''ll be over soon." Although it was the expected answer, I was still a little disappointed. Concealing my loneliness, I continued packing my things.


    Lying on the bed at night, the man beside me did not move at all.


    Suddenly, a voice registered itself in my ears. "Are you asleep?"


    Theo''s mellow voice drifted over across the pillow. It was very maic.


    "Not yet. What''s the matter?" I asked lightly, but I was already almost asleep.


    "It feels weirdtely."


    "What does?"


    He turned sideways, and his breath swept across my face. "It seems that our rtionship isn''t as good as before."


    Theo Grant, you were the one who put up a distance from me first.


    I muttered internally but did not dare to say it to his face. I just replied, "Really? I don''t think so."


    "Is nothing truly wrong?" he asked again.


    Taking a deep breath, I swallowed. "What about you? Is there something you''re not telling me?"


    This question resulted in a long silence again.


    I closed my eyes and turned sideways. "It''ste. Sleep."


    "Okay, good night."


    "Good night."


    I could not fall asleep after saying all that anyway. The mncholy

    Somehow, I made it through to dawn.


    I felt Theo get up, but I did not want to open my eyes even though I was awake.


    They stayed closed until the sun dazzled me.


    When I got up, my head was a little heavy, probably because I did not sleep wellst night.


    Arriving at thepany with a suitcase, Shannon looked at me. "Are you nning to leave after work?"


    "Yes," I replied without hesitation.

    "Who said I''m running away?" I rolled my eyes, not admitting it.


    She smiled naturally. "Whatever you say."


    "Okay, you have to do what I told you. Otherwise, you have toe back and watch over thepany."


    "I know, Boss. I''ll definitely follow your orders." Shannon gave me a military salute.


    I was amused. We went back to our respective seats and worked.

    I ate some bread in the waiting room.


    There was still plenty of time, and I would be able to finish the bread in time.


    I heard a familiar voice at that moment. "Hey, truly now?"


    I looked up and met the owner of the voice. "Professor Logan?"
