I smiled. "I can't control what people say. They can say whatever they want. I can't give everyone an explanation. Besides, some people will only believe what they want to believe in."

"But if you don't explain things, they'll think that their guess is right." She looked somewhat nervous.

I smiled and asked her with my brows raised. "Do you think it's true?"

She was stunned for a moment, looking a little awkward. "I started believing in it the more I listened."

I smiled slightly. "I love the tranquility in Zenon. When I brought my child to Zenon back then, I planned to start a peaceful life in this peaceful place with my child. It's that simple. There aren't any other complicated reasons."

"What about the child’s father?" Young women were always curious.

I smiled slightly. "There'll be customers coming soon. Finish your drink and go get ready."

I clearly did not want to answer her question. The young lady sensibly lowered her head to drink the coffee and asked no more.

Two tables were booked yesterday and the customers

were supposed to arrive at four. The waitresses started bustling about.

I had reports to do and went back to my office.

I did not hear the door open because I was listening to a song with my headphones on.

After about ten minutes, my shoulders felt a little sore.

I took off my headphones and stretched.

"Are you tired?” A man's sexy voice sounded behind m e.

I was startled and jerked up from the chair, turning over to look.

Theo looked at me with a smile. "I didn't say anything because I saw how serious you were at work.”

I pursed my lips. “When did you come in?"

"Quite a while now," Theo said, his face filled with warmth.

After saying that, he picked up the glass on my desk and poured me a glass of water. He put it in my hand.

I took a sip of water and sat back in my chair. "I still have work to do. Why don't you sit down for a while?"

Theo nodded and pulled a chair to sit next to me.

He saw me put the glass of water on the table. His gaze dimmed before he grabbed the glass and took a sip.

I looked at him and frowned.

"I’m thirsty,” he said with a natural expression.

I knew that Theo had always been a shameless man. It would be useless to criticize him, hence I simply continued on with my report.

He did not make a sound to disturb me and very quietly waited for me to finish my work.

When I had saved my document, he asked, "Are you done?”

I nodded.

"What do you want to have for dinner?” The smile on his face was too dazzling to look at.

I gave him a quick glance. "Anything.”

After leaving the office and going downstairs, Theo quickly put his arm around my shoulder, so quickly that I did not have time to react at all.

I noticed the strange looks around me and sighed inwardly. This man was definitely doing it on purpose.

With that, the fact that I was a licentious woman was now firmly established.

Fred walked into the restaurant while holding a folder and headed straight to Theo, passing the folder in his hand to him. "Mr. Grant, this is the restaurant's information from the past two years, please take a look."

Theo took the folder and handed it to me. "Why don't you take a look?"

Fred smiled and said to Theo, "Mr. Grant, you and Miss Lane seem to have known each other for a very long time."

I frowned.

Was he asking that on purpose?
