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

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."

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." |
