To prevent Munchkin from witnessing the strange situation between Theo and me, I asked him to stay in school this weekend with the excuse that we were both on a business trip and could not take care of him.
He could only compromise whether he liked it or not.
Hanging up the phone, I sighed.
I still had not figured out how to tell Munchkin about this for the time being and could only hide it for a while.
Having probably overheard my conversation with Munchkin, Marius slumped on the sofa in the living room before opening his eyes to look at me. "You can only hide it for a while more, but for the rest of your life? Do you want Munchkin to spend every week in school?"
I also went over and took a seat while shaking my head helplessly. "If I can hide it for even a day more, I’ll take it. I'm still thinking about how to tell him."
It was early morning, but Marius did not have an ounce of energy. His eyelids would droop from time to time.
My eyes were fixed on him, and I was a little puzzled. "You’re so sluggish. Did you have a good time last night?"
He had closed his eyes and was resting. He did not open them to look at me. He reached out to me with his long arm and snapped his fingers in front of me. "That's right."
"You don't have much to do anyway, so why don't you sleep more?"
This was the advantage of being self-employed. As long as the company developed steadily, the boss could do whatever they wanted. I suddenly got the idea of starting a company of my own.
Although the previous Nectarine Entertainment was created by Theo for Cindy, I was the one who took care of it. Entertainment companies were a little complicated. I wondered if other industries would be better.
I approached Marius and patted him. "Marius, Marius?"
Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, I thought he was asleep, so I called out to him a few more times.
"It's really not easy to start a business. What industry do you think is promising now?" Although it was difficult, I still wanted to try it.
He held his chin. "Every industry will have a bonus period for a period of time. Once that stage is over, it’ll go downhill, but it might also rise again later. I’ve only ever dabbled in investment and the financial industries. I haven’t really researched the others much."
If this were the case, I might as well not have asked him in the first place.
I pursed my lips and nodded. "Okay, I get it. I shouldn't have asked you."
Seeing the sudden change in my attitude, Marius frowned. "What a realistic woman."
The next moment, the sound of someone coming downstairs reached my ears. It was Drover who came down...
