this part of your neck red?"
Theo pursed his lips and said faintly, "The new secretary was too careless and spilled the water on me."

the chair and removed his shirt.
He was scalded in many places and looked like he was in pain. | said with distress," You've assigned too much
work for Keith that he doesn't have tto take care of you. Why don't you share a little of the work he's doing
with other people?’
He smiled slightly. "I don't feel safe letting others handle those matters. If you're worried, then cto the

| felt heartbroken seeing the burned spots on his body and quickly answered, "Sure. Since | have nothing to do
now anyway. Mom's taking care of Munchkin, so I'll cto the company to take care of you." Theo sat on the
chair and put his arm around my waist. He said with a face full of smiles, "My wife's the best."
I pushed him and helplessly said, "This new secretary is really careless. How did she even pour a cup of hot tea
on you? You didn't startle her, did you?"
Theo raised his eyes to look atwith a deep and obscure gaze. "Is your husband that scary to you?"
| shrugged. "I didn't say that."
Theo harrumphed and let go of my waist, allowingto continue applying ointment on the parts he was
burned.
He would feel pain when my fingers touched the burned spots. After hurting a few times, he bit my lips in
retaliation. His tone sounded a little aggrieved, "If you don't go easy on the application, then I'll start suspecting
you for trying to murder your husband."
"I'm already doing it as gently as I can.
Keep still."
Theo kept still after being admonished by me.
After applying the ointment for him and buttoning up his shirt again, | said," Munchkin caught a cold again. |

Theo lowered his head and thought about it seriously. He nodded to agree. "When Keith and | are done with the

"It's fine, don't worry. He has no energy left to give Grant Corporation trouble right now. Besides, Zedd's around.

my skin. It tingled me, causingto chortle and push him away.
Seeing an adorable lunch box on his table, | was stunned. "Did someone buy you lunch?"
Theo sat back on his office chair and picked up another folder to flip through. " No, | ordered takeaway."
| nodded. My gaze fell on the lunch box, and | was deep in thought.
| went to the company with Theo in the next few days. If there was anything that | could help him out at work,
