Despite not having eaten much, I did not have an appetite since I had been sleeping a lot. I replied without much consideration, "I'm fine with anything." Theo entered the kitchen once again while I let my thoughts wander elsewhere. Grant Corporation had a strong defense system, and there were only a few local experts who could easily break into the system.
The first person who cto my mind was Tyler Schuman. This would be a piece of cake for him. However, since he had transformed into a successful businessman these past few years, his identity as a hacker should still be relatively hidden.
If it was really him, what was his purpose? As I was lost in my thoughts, Theo's voice rang beside my ear. "What are you daydreaming about? Come, eat." It was my favorite spaghetti bolognese, but since I was occupied with thoughts, I did not have much of an appetite. I held my cutleries for a long twithout digging in.
"You don't feel like eating it?" Theo looked atand asked.
