Chapter 1628



However, the medical aesthetic industry had something to do with the entertainment industry. The two industries shared a connection. Still, it was jaw-dropping to know that the Grant Corporation was developing Al technology while they were in fierce competition.

Sometimes, I happened to like Theo's unexpected wits.

"What's holding you back?" I'd like to find out what Theo was worried about.

Theo picked up the dishcloth awkwardly and replied, "I'm starting to regret what I said just now. Munchkin looked so happy when we were having dinner together. I only wanted to make him happier by telling him that I'd bring him to France, but after thinking about it, I'll be going there for work. I'm afraid that it'll disappoint him when he finds out that I'm going there for work."

I immediately understood what was in Theo's mind.

He would like to spend some time with Munchkin, but he had no choice as his company was at a critical moment now. There was no way he could focus on accompanying Munchkin and spend the holiday with him.

However, if Theo did not promise Munchkin now, he might not have much time after this.

I rested my hand on Theo's shoulder and comforted him. "Don't worry. Munchkin is a good boy. He'll understand your intentions. Stop worrying about this." I helped him smooth out the wrinkles on his shirt. I knew that Theo was giving himself too much pressure. If it had not been for the urgent situation, Theo would never let himself overwork for so many days and neglect Munchkin.

It seemed like my comforting words were working on him. I noticed that the corners of his lips were beginning to curl up.

I quickly added, "But it'll only be an exception for this time. No matter what Grant Corporation is up to next time, you're not allowed to be so busy again. Otherwise, I'll sell all your companies and go back home to become a farmer!"

"Okay. Don't worry, I won't do it again next time," said Theo.

He pulled me into his arms as he said that. "Anyway, what made you think of joining the competition this time?" I asked.

Theo had always been a disciplined man. He was always serious when it was about work. It was my first time seeing him handling work matters in such a hesitant manner after being with him for such a long time.

"Honestly, I couldn't make up my mind at first thought that there was no need for me to waste my time joining a mecha competition. We haven't fully figured out the industry, after all. But you inspired me today."

I slightly furrowed my brows. I had never handled the company's matters since I came back. What did I do to inspire him?

I held his gaze for quite a while, but he did not intend to tell me. I tugged on his sleeves angrily. "Come on. Don't keep me in suspense. Tell me."

Theo let go of me and said, "You

invited Cindy to the office today. That reminded me of an old saying 'When the cat's away, the mice will play.' Previously, Ruby was behaving arrogantly in the office. But you got Cindy to come over to the

Vice

today. She didn't step into my office all morning. It's much quieter now."

Theo smiled bitterly. I knew there was a time when Cindy was his biggest problem. Fortunately, the problem was finally solved.

However, no one would have thought that Ruby would show up. Theo could not keep his distance away from her because of work. She was a real pain in the *ss.

Now, Cindy had helped Luke to solve the problem. It was surprising to know that.

"That's why I think that perhaps the rankings aren't that important at all.

Making a grand entrance would be enough," said Theo.
