Cindy sighed. "Whatever. | don't want to fight about such things, and | have work to do. In the future, please
don't disturbunless it's something to do with work."
Then, | heard the sounds of Cindy's heels clicking across the floor.
She was probably leaving the scene, so | backed away hurriedly.
"Cindy Reed!"
Then, Zedd roared from the stairwell. He was probably trying to stop her.
Sure enough, the sound of her clicking heels vanished.
"You know how | feel. Leave this place and I'll let you do whatever you want. I'll open up an entertainment
agency for you if
you're still fond of the entertainment industry. Acting as the CEO would be much better than staying here."
| pursed my lips. Why was Zedd being so terrible at speaking right now? Was it that difficult to tell her outright
that he liked her?
"That's alright. I'm doing perfectly fine here."

As expected, Cindy turned down Zedd's offer.
However, what mademore panicked was Cindy's rapidly approaching footsteps.
| panicked and grabbed Theo. | had no idea where we should go now.
When | turned to look at Theo with a pleading look on my face, | realized he was smirking as he stared at me. His
feet were planted to the ground firmly, and he seemed to have no intention of moving.
"Quick, hide!"
"Why are you scared?" he asked as he held my waist and pulledover so | was standing in front of him. |
wanted to free myself but was not strong enough to do so.
The footsteps grew closer as she walked past the doors and arrived in front of us. Horrified, | turned around and
saw Cindy standing before us with a furious look on her face.
My mind went blank, and | felt nothing but worry. Oh no, oh no. She was going to ask if we heard anything.
However, a mere second later, she merely rolled her eyes at us as she said, "The more you show off your
relationship, the higher the chances of you breaking up."
She left after that.
| heaved a sigh of relief. Thank goodness she did not seem suspicious.
| glanced at Theo and thumped his chest." What are you doing? Why did you have to let her see us?"
"What are you afraid of? This is your company. You have the freedom to be anywhere you want to."
"What are you guys doing here?" | saw Zedd when | turned around to look.
He probably cout to look because he heard Cindy's voice.
"She's here because she wanted to check in on the work. What about you? Are you here to visit Cindy?"
The beginning of Theo's sentence calmeddown, but the latter half of it caused my heart rate to spike.
Why was he bringing this up on his own?
| did not expect Zedd to grow flustered and try to rebut that.
"No, | just dropped by to check in."
Then, he walked past us and entered the elevator.
Before he entered the elevator, he turned back around and gave us a disgusted look as he said, "Can't you guys
just stay at home? Do you really have to cout and disgust everyone?"
| felt somewhat embarrassed when | lowered my head and saw Theo's large palm on my waist.
However, Theo seemed to want to take things a step further as he pulledover to him and huggedfrom
the back.

He did not stop there. As Zedd stared at us blankly, he placed his head on top of mine so that we looked like two
youngsters who had just entered a romantic relationship.
Now, the disgusted frown on Zedd's face beceven more pronounced.
Theo seemed even more gleeful when he saw that and drawled, "Is it illegal?”
Zedd was so pissed that he pressed the button rapidly so the doors would close and take him away.
| thought that would end things, but it seemed that Theo had no intention of letting go.
He walked past me, pressed the button again, and returned to his original spot so he could continue hugging me.
| was starting to panic and said to him softly, "We're in the company now.”
"So what? Can't | hug my wife in the company?"
"I don't mean that. It wouldn't be a good idea for our colleagues to see us this way," | reminded gently.
Theo's hugs always felt great, especially when they were back hugs. They always madefeel safe.
However, we were in the company now, and this was a public space. We might be the owners of the company,
but it still madefeel embarrassed.
"I'll get those who have anything against this to process their exit with HR."
Theo's reply leftspeechless. Looking at the elevator’s reflective doors, | could tell that more and more people «
were staring at us now.
