The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1867

Chapter 1867

Paradise Hotel.

Theo and I arrived as scheduled.

When we came to the private room, Jordan and Shannon were already there. Both of them stood up to greet us when they saw us, especially Jordan, who looked extremely gentlemanly. "President Grant, Mrs. Grant, please take a seat. I already ordered some of the signature dishes here. Why don't you both take a look and see if there’s anything else you'd like to order?" He then handed over the menu.

"No need. It'll do. " Theo declined.

Jordan looked more mature and stable than before. He looked a lot more tired too. Perhaps he was worried about the matter of this business. He was not in as high spirits as Theo.

He could only blame himself. Perhaps he would not be in such a difficult situation if he had not gone up against Theo.

The dishes were slowly served up. Jordan raised his glass and directed it at Theo. " President Grant, this glass is to apologize for my past transgression on you. I hope you'll be able to forgive and forget."

Theo held his cup with a slight smile on his lips. "It’s nothing, you’ve already paid the price, President Fredericks, so there’s nothing more to this matter."

He downed the entire glass after he said that.

These words, on the other hand, stunned Jordan for a moment. His expression was one of slight embarrassment. He still smiled, however, and drank the wine in his glass.

I turned to look at Theo and frowned slightly to show my dissatisfaction. He just smiled at me and did nothing else.

Did this man not catch what I was trying to say?

Sighing silently in my heart, I raised my glass. "President Fredericks, it's a tremendous feat to be able to acknowledge one's mistake and fix it, so we won't continue to hold a grudge against you. With this glass, it'll be as if nothing happened in the past. I'm pregnant, so I'm substituting wine with tea. I wish you great success in Whaldorf City."

"Thank you for your words, Madam Grant. I'll definitely drink to this.”

In reality, I was not actually that unfamiliar with Jordan since he had taken good care of me when we were outside back then. However, things had changed and it made me a little emotional. I lamented at the impermanence of things.

Such a scene, on one hand, was to give Shannon face; on the other, it was also a reminder to Jordan not to repeat the same mistakes.

We chatted with each other like this, and the meal passed rather pleasantly.

"President Grant, I heard you signed a contract with Mr. Drover just recently. He’s someone who is versed in artificial intelligence. You won't have to worry about Grant Corporation's artificial intelligence project with him around. You're really lucky. Mr. Drover has never participated in company projects. I didn’t expect him to actually work with Grant Corporation." Jordan abruptly brought up work. It seemed that this was his purpose tonight.

Theo looked to have long expected him to ask this. He looked at Jordan calmly, and even his tone was indifferent. "Is your branch office this time looking into developing artificial intelligence projects as well, President Fredericks?"

He had participated in a mecha project previously to compete with Theo, and now he wanted to grab a share of the artificial intelligence industry. It looked like he wanted to compete with Theo again.

"I just want to understand it first. I don’t have such plans for the time being," Jordan replied very cautiously.

Both men harbored their own thoughts. I could not watch this scene further and left the private room with Shannon with the excuse of needing the toilet.

Shannon had only two more months left before her due date, and her stomach was already very big. She could not be provoked at this time, so I took her out for some fresh air.

"Wanda, Jordan, he..."

I knew what she wanted to say, so I interrupted her, "It's alright, I understand. This has nothing to do with you and me. Let’s just let them talk on their own "

I did not want their work competition to affect my relationship with Shannon.

Shannon obviously thought the same and nodded. "Alright, that’s good."
