Chapter 1156

When | returned to my room, | took out the documents and started to organize them, though | was constantly

distracted.

| took a deep breath and tossed the documents aside. | got up to get sfresh air on the balcony.

This balcony was just a wall away from the next one. Theo was lying on the balcony reading a book, looking

pretty idle.

| instinctively wanted to avoid him when | saw him.

However, there seemed to be eyes above his head as he looked up atbefore leisurely putting the book in his

hand on the side. He stared fixedly atwith his pair of dark eyes.

I did not know whether to go in or retreat, s o | stood awkwardly on the spot.

He did not intend to start the conversation first, so | could only helplessly say, "What a coincidence, Mr. Grant."

Theo pursed his lips and said in a faint tone, "It's not a coincidence."

How was | supposed to start a conversation with a man like him?

| tugged at the corner of my mouth and faked a smile, saying, "I'm going in now, Mr. Grant. I'll leave you to read

your book, then."

"Can you hide forever?" the man asked, his voice low and introspective.

| pursed my lips and put away the smile on my face. "You think too much. I'm not trying to hide from you. | really

do have things to do."

Theo lowered his eyes and said mildly, ' This project needs to be followed up by the person in charge at all times.

Grant Corporation plans to reach an agreement with the resort tomorrow. Ms. Cally doesn't know much about the

project, and this may cause confusion on the scene."

| said almost subconsciously, "Ms. Cally knows a lot. She can perform a lot better thanin many aspects, so

you don’t have to worry about that."

Theo smiled faintly, his gaze falling casually on the flowers in front of him. ' One is unable to see one’s own

faults.

Haven't you heard of this saying before? She’s too familiar with Fredericks

Corporation and knows many problems regarding the company yet takes no notice

of it.

After thinking about it, | said, "I'll go over tomorrow as well, then. Don't worry, Mr. Grant. Since Fredericks

Corporation has accepted this project, we'll definitely do our best to carry out the project well."

Theo looked up atwith a gaze as deep a s the bottom of the sea. It was hard to tell his emotions from his

eyes.

| was afraid to look into such eyes for too long because | would sink into them without noticing.

Early next morning, Cally gavea call and sounded a little anxious. “Are you feeling better today, Wanda? If

you are, then can you cover to the construction site for a while?"

I had a bad feeling for sreason, so | asked in a deep and low voice, "What's

wrong? Did something happen?"

Cally sighed. "The intelligent research institute that Grant Corporation and Fredericks Corporation built is entered

by all sorts of people every day because the equipment hasn't been shipped over.

Although Mr. Fredericks has hired people t o keep an eye, no matter how careful we were, things were still

overlooked.

Someone broke in last night and took away plenty of things. The police have cover to investigate. | just

contacted Mr. Grant and asked him to send someone over to check with us to see what exactly was lost."

Cally sounded like she was about to cry. "I even went and checked before | left last night. | constantly

emphasized how they should keep an eye on the items and carefully inspect all the personnel going in, but it still

happened nonetheless."

The incident had happened and there was no use crying over spilled milk, so | could only comfort her, saying,

"Don't panic, Lally. There are a lot of surveillance cameras in the research institute. We should be able to get the

items back soon."

| continued while putting on my clothes," I'm going over right now. You must stay calm and assist the police.

Minimize losses as much as possible."

| hung up after saying that and grabbed my bag before rushing out the door.

When | got to the yard, | happened to bump into Keith walking out as well.

The anxiety on his face reduced slightly when he saw me. "Are you going to the resort, Mrs. Grant?"

I nodded. "Yeah.

"Let's go together then. Mr. Grant and | are going too."
