| was stunned when the elevator doors opened.
| had been so focused on eavesdropping that | had not realized | was standing right in front of the elevator's
doors.
Thus, when the doors opened, | did not know how to react when | saw Theo.
"Wan—" | was so startled when Theo began speaking that | immediately covered his mouth and hurriedly pulled
him aside.
Then, | turned around and glanced at the stairs. Thankfully, | had moved quickly enough. It seemed that the
people in the stairwell had not heard us.
Would it not have been awkward if they learned | had been standing here all this time?
However, when | turned back around, | realized how guilty | must have seemed when | saw the flustered look in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTheo's eyes.
"What are you doing?” he asked as he grinned evilly.
"Nothing," | replied unnaturally. "I was just thinking that we shouldn't seem so intimate since we're at the office."
| gave the fire escape a careful glance as | spoke. Naturally, that did not escape Theo's eyes.
He immediately guessed what was going on.
"You've only just returned, and you're already gossiping?" An endearing smile appeared on his face as he took a
step forward. It seemed like he wanted to eavesdrop on what was happening in the stairwell.
"I thought we were together," Zedd said before | managed to stop him.
Since Theo had no context of what was going on, he was confused.
However, although | had listened in on their conversation before this, | was still stunned when | heard Zedd's
reply.
I had thought he would confess his feelings to Cindy and tell her everything before this had all been an act to
make her angry.
| did not expect him to say something so perfunctory.
"Together? What do you mean, together? Think about it, Zedd Nichols. They're a happy family now, and Wanda is
pregnant. You're one of Theo's good friends, so are you sure you should still be thinking of
Wanda as your enemy now?"
A long silence stretched out after that. Theo and | exchanged glances.
| looked at him and signaled that we should leave. Meanwhile, Theo gavea warning glance. It seemed that
he was warningagainst what Zedd had said just now.
"Cindy, | don't mean anything else by coming here. It doesn't matter if you don’t think of Wanda as your enemy,
but I hope you'll understand that staying here as an agent will not benefit you in any way."
Zedd changed his tone and began advising her earnestly.
"Think of who you used to be, and think about what you're doing now. Which of these people are qualified

| could tell that Zedd was feeling unjust on Cindy's behalf.
Although he had his opinions about me, he could not do anything to me. Thus, there was no need for Theo to
worry.
“Zedd Nichols, please get this straight. I'm working as an agent, not an assistant. These are two different
things."
Cindy was a professional and could tell the differences between the two jobs. However, Zedd did not think the
same.
“So what? Take a look at the kind of celebrities you're managing now. What's their tier? Do you think D-list
celebrities can afford assistants? They're lucky to even have a manager like you. Besides, wouldn't you have to
juggle the roles of being both a manager and an assistant?
Yet, you still think Wanda isn't using you?"

Zedd'’s tone turned hostile again as he spoke.
