The man then hummed indifferently before hanging u p the phone.
He put the phone aside and was a little stunned when he sawstaring at him. Then, he askedcalmly," Are

I looked out the car window and asked faintly, "Where are you taking me?”
He probably did not have a property in Hommiton City, so he must be takingto a hotel.
Theo did not answer the question and merely said, " Close your eyes and rest if you feel unwell."

Theo held my hand but | withdrew it. | looked at him and said with a faint smile, “I didn't think life was tough at

because there was at least a tin my youth when | worked so hard for something. If | had made full use of

what it feels like to be a president of a company.”
Thinking about it now, | seemed to be living more and more regressively over the years. It had been a long time

| looked out the car window, a sense of frustration springing up in my heart.
