"I told him about you. I haven't had a lot of friends since childhood, so he's happy that we're friends. He insisted
that | drag you hto have a meal together.”

Theo raised his eyebrows. "Are you not planning on bringingalong?"
After a long silence, | shook my head. "I think it'll be awkward if you go. Besides, Shannon and | will be doing
most of the talking. You'll only be bored waiting forbecause you can't even join in the conversation."
Actually, the main thing was that | would b e asking about my mother. I did not want him to know about it yet.
Theo did not insist further and merely asked with a faint smile, "Have you ever had a crush on Jordan?"
| nearly bit my tongue after hearing the question. | widened my eyes and looked at him with ssurprise. |
asked, "What are you talking about? Shannon and Jordan are already dating each other.
Don’t say nonsense like that."
Theo sneered. "You were the one who said : t last time. You said you thought that
Jordan was a good man and worthy of your affection.”
| called that shooting my own foot.
| brushed my nose and suddenly felt a little awkward.
| only said that last tbecause | wanted Theo to give up on me. It would be difficult forif | were to explain
it like that right now.
Theo smiled faintly. "Shannon and Jordan are a perfect match, so you should stop thinking about him. Besides,
you're also best friends with Shannon. It'll be immoral to have a crush on your best friend's man."
| nearly choked on my breath. This man madeso mad. | sprung up from my seat and said to him, "You're
sick, Theo. Maybe you should take your medication."
| did not want to say a word more to him and turned around to leave the canteen.
Lally was standing at the entrance of the canteen. When she sawstorming out angrily, she was startled and
asked a little worriedly, "What's wrong? You're quarreling with Mr. Grant again?”
| suppressed the anger in my heart and said, "Don’t bring up his name. He's an idiot. An idiot who's about to die
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfrom his own foolishness."
Gaily froze and burst out laughing. Seeing her smile, | realized in hindsight that | was just like a kid who had just
finished quarreling with someone in kindergarten. | was being childish.
| helplessly sighed. "He keeps insisting that | have a crush on Jordan. God knows what's wrong with his eyes."
Gaily stifled a laugh and said, "You can just be honest with Mr. Grant, Wanda. He'll believe you. Getting mad
won't do you any good."
"Like he'll believe me."
I said grumpily, "He's a bird-brained strange species among other male chauvinists. He can tell that Shannon
and Jordan like each other but can't see how hard Elena tries to butter up to him. He can't see that | have no
interest in Jordan a t all either. All he knows is how to interpret things the way he wants to. It's so infuriating."
Lally cleared her throat and patted my shoulder, saying, "Um, well, it's a hot sunny day, so it's best not to get so
fired up or you might get sick. I still have things to do, so I'll excuse myself."
| frowned. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Didn't you say that you wanted to go to the research institute? «
Let's go together."
