| could see Cindy's face turning paler than before. | almost could not help but applaud Quinn's words.
The situation becawkward at once. After Quinn left, Petra dragged Cindy away with an awful expression on
her face. | went back with Matthew in a good mood.
"What a scary catfight," Matthew exclaimed.
I smiled and shot him a glance. "Things are way scarier than what you've seen."
Matthew did not say anything more. He just agreed and nodded his head.
The financial department had sent the statement. | went back to my office and focused on my work.
When it was about tto get off work, Theo called m e.

"When are you finishing your work?" There was still a hint of a smile in Theo's voice.

"Yes."
| lifted my arm and glanced at the watch on my wrist." Then you can go hfirst. You don’t have to wait for me
to have dinner."
"I'll wait for you." Theo hung up after saying that.

made a monkey out of me."
"Should | be blamed for being charming?" Theo smiled helplessly.
How... shameless was he.
Back home, | went into the room with Theo to get changed.
