StarNovelChapter 1165
I did not know what to say for a moment. After thinking about it, | said, "Both, | guess. Don't worry about the
incident with the research institute. We'll find a good solution for it.”
Lally sighed softly. "I don't know how to thank you, Wanda.”
| smiled slightly. "Don't thank me. | can't pay that much money either. Humans will eventually have to submit to
life.”
A black shadow bore down onand | hung up the phone.
| looked up and saw Theo staring atwith a pair of pitch-black eyes. He asked m e with a faint smile, "So,
you're submitting t o life and selling yourself to me?"
| nodded. "That's right. | have to search for more narrow-minded excuses like that so I'll be less dignified when
we fight again in the future."
After all, Theo did not forceinto making this decision.

Theo suddenly laughed. He reached out to holdbut | dodged him.
| looked at him with a wary face. "Mr.
Grant, we're way past working hours now. | need to go to work now. You're the boss, so no one cares if you skip
work. But that’s not how it is for me. I'm just a puny employee, and my salary will be deducted i f | skip work."
Theo raised his eyebrows and grabbed my wrist, pullingover to peckon the lips. "It's okay. I'll make up
for your salary
this month, so why don't you stay by my side and accompany me?"
| was caught between laughter and tears. It was true that men were still children at heart even at the age of 80.
After pushing Theo's head away, | declined mercilessly. "Dream on."
When | cout of Theo's lounge, it was already noon. Hence, we went straight to the canteen.
It was lunchtime, so everyone would chere to eat except for those who had not finished their work.
When Lally saw Theo andwalking into the canteen together, there was suddenly a n ambiguous look in her
eyes.
She walked up toand leaned closer to m y ear, saying, "You guys must be famished. You're even left with
marks."
Her words were a double entendre. | was suddenly awkward and quickly changed the topic. "Did you go to the
research institute this morning?"
Lally nodded "Let's eat first and talk after that."
She continued after a pause, "I'll go sit there so | won't interrupt you guys."
After saying that, she went to sit down alone at the back.
| lifted my head and glared at Theo, saying with a face full of bitterness, "Look at what you've done.”
There were so many marks on my neck that they were impossible to conceal.
Theo raised his hand to brush his nose and said with a smile, "It's okay. They look great.”

Great?
| took a deep breath. "Letleave a few marks on your neck and you tellif it's great."
Theo's gaze dulled. "There may not be enough tfor you to leave one after lunch. Why don't we wait until
tonight? You can leave however many and wherever you want."
| was no match for him in acting like a rascal.
Not wanting to entertain him, | found a seat and waited for the staff to send the lunch box over.
Elena's appearance seemed planned. As soon as the staff brought the lunch box, she stood on one side clad in a
black dress paired with black heels. It made her seem really fair and particularly eye- catching.
She looked at Theo and said with a smile," What a coincidence, Mr. Grant.”
When Theo was around, she would treat m e as though | was not there.
Theo nodded. Then, as though deliberately, he said, "You must be exhausted from last night. Eat more to «
replenish your energy."
