As Theo pushed the door and entered, he had one hand in his pocket. He looked somewhat imposing
When | saw him, my face was calm, but it was not the case for Ruby, who was at the side. A sense of panic
flashed across her delicate face, but she quickly calmed down.
She pulled onand smiled. "I was just persuading Young Madam to head hand get srest, President
Grant. She's pregnant, after all. It would be bad if she were to fall. Don't you think so?"
‘Women are truly fickle mammals.’ | chuckled secretly in my heart.
Theo pulledover to one side of the sofa and satdown. He helpedbrush the messy hair on the side of
my ear. "That's
theoretically the case."
His movements were so gentle, and | could clearly feel the pent-up anger inside Ruby at the moment. Nheless,
she could only control herself and maintain her elegant image.

For a moment, | suddenly thought that whether it was Ruby or the former Cindy, they must have had it rough.
"If there isn't anything else, you may head out. I'd like to be alone with my wife."
Ever since Theo cin, his gaze had been stuck on me. So much so that he barely glanced at Ruby.
Furthermore, after listening to his words, Ruby's face beceven more distorted. Even so, she still smiled and
said, "Didn't we agree to have lunch together, President Grant? We were going to discuss the Al project."
While playing around with my hair, Theo responded casually, "Yeah, but my wife's here now, so we'll talk in the
afternoon.
You have to eat too, don't you?"
The rhetorical question had Ruby completely stumped for words. She did not have the gall to say anything else.
She had to compromise and leave the office. Before leaving, she glanced at me. The unwillingness in her eyes
was thoroughly seen by me.
After she left, | patted Theo's hand away." You just have to getanother enemy every day, don't you?"
"That's an unjust accusation. How could you say that?" The man smiled, his face looking innocent.
His usually indifferent and handsface was showing such an expression towardright now. If one did not
see it with their own eyes, they probably would not believe it.
"Ruby's feelings for you are
undeniable got up, walked to the
kel
table she had just filled with food, and turned back around." She even meticulously prepared a sumptuous lunch
for you. Is your heart made of stone, President Grant?"
Theo walked over slowly and leaned closer to me. "If my heart's made of stone, how could | be so warm toward
you? There's countless fish in the sea, but I'll only have one."
His sudden deep affection warmed
my heart, and snorted. "When did you learn to be so mushy?" "The moment met you.' Theo was being too
flirtatious that | was powerless in refuting. | quickly changed the subject. "Ms. Brook has prepared a scrumptious
lunch. Dig in
Theo gazed at the lunch box | brought over at the corner of the table. He reached out and took it. "It doesn't
matter how luxurious hers seems. It's not going to be as good as my missus’. I'll eat this one instead."

He opened the lunch box, and a delicious scent wafted out onto his face. Theo nodded with satisfaction. "Smells
scrumptious."
As he was eating, he was continuously showeringwith praise. | was indeed over the moon about it. “Alright,
alright, but let's not waste what she's prepared as well." "Only if you'll eat it with me, Mrs. Grant.
'Okay.
| knew that he was worried aboutbeing uncomfortable, hence he made such a proposal.
| had to admit that Ruby's cooking skills were not half-bad.
Theo and | quickly finished off the lunch boxes, and | was getting ready to leave. "I'll send you off."
"Mm," | replied softly and went down the elevator with Theo's company.
When we got to Grant Corporation's lobby, Theo urged, "Tell the driver to drive slower."
"l got it."
Just when we were reluctant to part ways, there was suddenly a burst of clamor coming from outside the door.
"Wanda Lane, you murderer!"
