This did not seem like the first tthe secretary had been asked this question, so she answered with great
fluency, "Mr.
Grant said we can't put them because his wife doesn't like it. There was once a bold secretary who placed a lot
of plants in the office and it made Mrs. Grant really mad, so you don't see any plants in Mr. Grant's office all year
round."
The bold secretary she was referring to must be Nadia.
Theo had not moved to Whaldorf City at the time, and Nadia was his secretary for a period of time.
She placed plenty of plants in Theo's office. As | was aware of her malicious intentions, | had an argument with
Theo at the time. | was surprised that Theo still remembered that incident and continued to not have plants in
his office even until now.
After a few minutes, the office door opened and Theo walked in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt| stood up from the sofa. When | saw him looking atwith smiling eyes, | said a little awkwardly, "My mom said
you left in such a hurry, so she didn't ask you to stay for lunch and toldto bring you lunch instead."
Theo merely nodded without a word.
He glanced at the lunch boxes on the coffee table and then at me.
| did not know what else to say and was a little awkward.
"How am | supposed to finish two sets alone?" Theo tried to helpfeel less awkward.
Although | knew that | was wrong, | found it a little difficult to put down my pride after having just argued with
him earlier.
| pursed my lips and mildly said, "If you can finish it, then go ahead. I'm not very hungry anyway."
Theo did not say anything and sat on the sofa. He opened the two lunch boxes.
Seeing that the two sets were the same, he took both of them out and said to me, "Eat!"
| pursed my lips. "I'm not very hungry. You should eat it."
Theo frowned. "Am | a pig to you?"
Even though he was a man and had a much larger appetite than women, he would not be able to finish two sets
of lunch.
What was this if not feeding a pig?
| scratched my chin and sat on the sofa, picking up my cutleries.
We ate in silence, neither of us saying a word.
In the end, | took the initiative to say, "I'm sorry, Theo."
1 did not look at him and stared at the food the whole time.
My sudden apology left Theo stunned.
After coming back to his senses, he mildly said, "Okay."
He said one word and nothing else.
| frowned, a little displeased by his perfunctory response. It was not easy forto take the initiative to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmapologize, but he only responded with one word. Did he not know that it would makereally awkward? After
waiting for a long tand seeing that he did not plan to say anything, | sighed. | did not know whether | should
get mad.
After eating, he looked atand asked," Chwithtonight?"
Although it was just a question, it did not sound like | had an option to refuse.
| thought about it. Instead of directly refusing him, I said, "I just cback and want to spend stwith
them. When | nearly died in the morgue previously, | thought to myself that if the heavens gaveone more
chance to live, I'd mend our relationship and spend my twith them. I'd tell them how much I love them." |
continued after a pause, "I'm just an ordinary person who wants to enjoy the love of my parents just like other
ordinary girls. | believe you understand."
Theo looked atwith deep and profound eyes. After a long time, he said, "I understand, but don't leave me
tormented for too long."

He used 'tormented' instead of waiting because tormented was way more agonizing than waiting.
