Chapter 164: Chapter 165

Chapter 165 After the dinner party, Jewel tugged at Theo’s sleeve and coquettishly said, “Theo, I want to ride in your car, okay?”

There was no emotion or warmth on Theo’s face.

Thea shook her head in frustration. In their past lives, Theo and Jewel were a deeply in love couple. They even appeared together as a couple in several high–profile TV interviews, and they were the nation’s favorite couple. It’s hard to believe that when they first met, Ms. Ho was the one who was head over heels for Theo.

Thea was very worried about Theo’s stubbornness, so she decided to speak up for him. “Ms. Fletcher, if you don’t mind, please join us in a car ride.”

Jewel nodded excitedly and said, “Thank you, Assistant Sister.”

Then she took the initiative to sit in the back seat of the car.

Theo lifted his foot but still walked to the driver’s seat. Thea saw Jewel’s face droop, as if a lightning bolt, she rushed to Theo’s front and whispered to him, “Where does a president drive? Let me drive instead.”

Theo questioned her driving skills, “Could you do it?”

Thea had actually only recently obtained her driver’s license. She still had some psychological barriers to overcome when it came to driving. However, having experienced many hardships in society, she knew that encountering a mentor in 18:15 0 Chapter 165 entrepreneurship was a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity, and she couldn’t afford to miss it at a critical moment. “I can definitely do it.”

Theo hesitated for a moment and then handed her the car keys.

Then he walked towards the co–pilot seat.

Thea sat in the driver’s seat, keeping her eyes on the road and her mind focused. She slowly turned on the car, pressed the accelerator, and finally, after adjusting the clutch, the car started moving on the road, as slow as a snail.

She was afraid that Ms. Fletcher would notice her lack of competence as an assistant, which would affect her doubts about Theo’s ability to hire people. So she kept her nerves tight all the way and dared not slack off.

Little did Theo know, but he teased her to find happiness. “Thea, can you drive faster? The car is moving slower than a snail, and it’s already dark when we reach Regent Global.”

Thea secretly glared at him.

Jewel was indeed a smart person. “Theo, how come the driving skills of the assistant you hired are so poor? Your safety is a major concern, you should consider changing your assistant.”

Theo said, “I will not change in this lifetime.”

Jewel’s face changed instantly. “Why were you so special to her?”

Theo said, “Because she was already special to me.”

Thea was drenched in cold sweat 18 15 Chapter 165 She glared at him and said, “Speak properly.”

Theo turned his head and looked out of the window.

Just don’t look at Thea’s resentful face.

Thea could only defend herself and explain, “Ms. Fletcher, please don’t misunderstand. Mr. Sanchez hired me as his assistant solely because I owed him a favor. He pitied my poverty and inability to find a–job, so he kept me around to do odd jobs and run errands for him.”

Jewel gazed at Thea, who was very beautiful. She was about 1.6 meters tall, although she belonged to the petite type, her skin was so fair that it seemed to glow, just like flawless porcelain, smooth as porcelain. Her wide almond–shaped eyes were lively and charming, making her appear younger than her age. Her face was round, with delicate features and a perfectly proportioned appearance. Especially when she smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved, giving her a harmless and innocent look.

Innocence makes people feel protective.

Jewel obviously didn’t fully believe her words. “Assistant sister, you are so beautiful that you could easily become a celebrity and earn a high salary. Why would you choose to work as Theo’s assistant?”

With a sudden inspiration, she came up with the idea of breaking up Thea and Theo. “Sister, I know a famous director who loves girls like you, pure and beautiful. I can introduce you to him and guarantee that you will play the leading role in his film.”

Chapter 165 1288 Vouch Thea couldn’t offend her business partner’s daughter, so she replied perfunctorily, “Thank you so much for that.”

Theo let out a dissatisfied grunt from his throat, “Hmph.”

Thea and Jewel looked at him together.

“Theo coolly commented, ‘The chubby face doesn’t look good in the mirror.”

Thea touched her own face and said, “Wasn’t my face fat?”

Jewel said, “Although my sister’s face was a bit chubby, she didn’t have any excess fat. It looked very photogenic.”

Theo turned his head to look at Thea, although his angle only allowed him to see her profile, her angelic face truly made his heart flutter.

He thought that if this face became a celebrity and was seen by many people, he would feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

“Do you really want to be an actor?” he asked.

Thea couldn’t brush off the kindness of the host. She nodded and said, “Hmm.”

Theo thought that she really wanted to become an actress, so he said, “In the future, I will start a film and television company. I will sign you.”

Jewel couldn’t understand. “Theo, why did you have to be the client for Thea’s project?”

A single sentence startled the person in the dream.

Chapter 185 Thea was also surprised, she was a fashion designer, and Theodore started a clothing brand. She became a celebrity, and he opened a film and television company. What was he thinking?

Theo said, “I could also be her second party.”

Thea almost choked on her saliva. She didn’t have the ability to conquer this god–like figure and work for him.

A few people were chatting and laughing as the car finally arrived at Regent Global Tower. Kyler had been waiting at the entrance.

At this moment, he was earnestly scrutinizing Regent Global Tower, Regent Global Holdings, and its founder, who were all as young as him. It was because it was new that the architectural structure, materials, and construction were all top–notch. Kyler looked at this magnificent skyscraper and sighed, “Regent Global’s ability to settle in such a stylish building shows its impressive strength.”

Theo walked up to him and happened to overhear Kyler’s sigh. Theo corrected him, saying, “Mr. Kyler, this entire skyscraper belongs to Regent Global. Moreover, Regent Global also has an identical skyscraper overseas.”

Kyler was so surprised that he opened his mouth wide.

“This building is even larger than the Hill Group, the Sishi, and the Sanchez, these century–old conglomerates. It must have cost a lot of money, right? Theo, does Regent Global really need such a big place?”

There was a hint of disapproval in the words, suggesting that 1815 Chapter 165 1788 voucher Theo had a habit of spending money recklessly.

Jewel coquettishly said, “Dad, if Theo is short of money, our family can sponsor him, right?”

Theo did not have any reaction.

The assistant Thea, however, seemed to have won the jackpot and was extremely excited.

The whole face was filled with a satisfied smile, just like a pleased mother. Flattering words were spoken smoothly. “It is truly fortunate for my CEO to receive Ms. Fletcher’s favor.”

Theo brought Thea, who was trying to get close to Jewel, back and whispered a warning to her, “Sister, I don’t live off others.”

Thea glanced at him and said, “Many men wish to eat but cannot. Don’t be unaware of your blessings.”

Theo was speechless.

Thea saw him glaring at her with deep resentment, and she patted his shoulder to comfort him, saying, “Oh, Mr. Sanchez, being a son–in–law is great. You don’t have to buy a car or a house, just come with a bag and enjoy a carefree life with your wife. Many people envy it but can’t have it.”

Theo’s face turned pale. “Could I not afford a car garage?”

Is it worth selling one’s body for the sake of saving money for a garage?

“Hmph.” Theo brushed his sleeves and left.

“Did this guy eat firecrackers today?”
