| continued with work. Suddenly, what Heidi toldbefore rang in my mind. | felt very uneasy, so | called Theo.

Theo laughed and askedwhen he picked up the phone, "Tve just left and you missalready?"

| was not in a mood to joke around with him, so | nagged worriedly, "Please be careful."

Theo chuckled. "I'll be careful on the road."

| scratched my head with frustration. "I'm not talking about that."

"Then what is it?" Theo was confused.

"It's just..." | did not know how to tell him. Besides, this was a difficult topic to talk about over the phone.

Hence, | decided against it. "It’s nothing. Just go ahead with what you're working on."

On the other side of the phone call, Theo was silent. Then, he said, "You can think about what you were going to

telland phrase it properly. You can tell m e about it when I'm back."

| hummed in response, then | hung up.

How should I tell him about Mason trying to harm him?

Even if | told him, would he believe me? The last thing | wanted was for him to think that | was trying to drive a

wedge between their brotherhood.

Should I just ask him if they had any conflicts?

| was getting more and more frustrated, so | took out the antidepressants from my bag and took two pills.

After a while, | calmed down and focused on my work.

At three o'clock, my secretary cin to handsdocuments but did not leave immediately after she

passed them to me. | looked at her, confused." Anything else?"

"President Lane..." my secretary stuttered hesitantly." Miss Reed is downstairs waiting to meet you."

Cindy Reed?

| frowned. "What is she doing here?”

After | asked, | facepalmed myself.

How would a secretary know the answer to that?

| put down my pen, picked up the phone, and said, "I'll call the front desk. Let her answer the phone."

The call was quickly put through, and Cindy's distinctively sweet voice rang in my ear. "Wanda, I'd like to talk to

you."

My expression was icy. "I don’t think there's anything for us to talk about.”

Cindy scoffed. "Aren't you curious about sof the

things you don't know about Theowy?"

It seemed she was confident | would agree to meet her. | narrowed my eyes and replied, "I'm not interested."

"Don’t hang up, Wanda Lane!" Cindy was anxious when she saw that | was not taking the bait. "I have to talk to

you, or | won't leave you alone. | don't think you wantto appear in your company every day, do you?"

| smirked. "The reputable Miss Reed is quite shameless, huh? Looks like you're really as sticky as a band-aid.

That's definitely not a mere accusation."

Before Cindy could start with her episode, | hung up and asked my secretary to bring her up.
