I was already lying on the bed when I woke up.
I glanced at the phone on the bedside table, looked at the time, and found that it was already eight o’clock in the morning.
Theo was not in the room. After I got up and washed u p, I went downstairs. I saw Theo standing in the living room drinking soy milk. I walked over to ask him," Has Munchkin gone to kindergarten?"
"He just left," Theo replied with a smile.
He pulled me into the dining area to have breakfast. H e put a bowl of oatmeal in front of me. "Go to the company with me later."
I looked up at him and was puzzled. "I plan to go and visit Susan."
Why was he suddenly asking me to go to the company?
He put down the newspaper in his hand. His pupils were dark and deep, while his tone was introspective." We may not be able to go."
I frowned. "Did something happen?"
"There are many people at the hospital. Word travels fast. It's unsafe for you, Mrs. Grant. It’s best for you to stay beside Mr. Grant for the next two days," replied Keith, who was standing behind Theo.
I pursed my lips and looked at Theo, hoping he could tell me what was going on.
However, he evaded my gaze and reminded me, "Wear more layers when we go out later. The temperature has dropped today."
Since he did not want to say anything, I did not press o n either.
I followed Theo out the door and came to Grant Corporation's office building. I saw a group of reporters gathering at the entrance.
Keith got out of the car to clear the way. Theo held my hand, his elegant face somewhat warm. "Don't be afraid later. Just ignore them no matter what they ask you later."
Grant Corporation's stock market was bound to be impacted. Seeing how he did not enter his office and headed straight for the meeting room, he must be in a rush to give the shareholders an explanation.
At this moment, Keith walked in with a cup of tea. I glanced at him, then looked down and said, "It’s a lot o f trouble, isn’t it?"
Otherwise, Theo would not have left Keith with me.
He was worried that my emotions would be affected o r I would be badly hurt by the words of the company’s employees. That was why he left Keith with me.
"Do you want to have some desserts, Mrs. Grant?” In the minds of direct men, changing the subject was the best way to answer a difficult question.
I got up and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window. I could clearly see the reporters gathered downstairs at Grant Corporation. "There are so many distinguished figures in Whaldorf City, so why must they hold on to someone low-profile like me?"
Keith pursed his lips and did not answer my question. When Theo walked in, his expression was sullen.
