Chapter 1084

After that, I looked through the meeting agenda and key points very carefully. Right as I finished

reading, the representatives from Grant Corporation arrived.

After leaving the office, I planned to head straight to the meeting room, but I bumped into Jordan

and Cally. They asked me to follow them downstairs to greet Grant Corporation’s representatives

together.

Did Jordan need to greet them personally too?

I wondered. I wanted to ask them why as I walked behind them, but they were walking so fast that I

had no chance to.

After going downstairs to the first floor, Jordan walked quickly to the entrance of the company while

wearing a polite smile o n his face. "We're honored to have you here, Mr. Grant."

"Hello, Mr. Fredericks."

Mr. Grant?

I walked out from behind Jordan and saw the man I knew all too well.

There were many people who I supposed were Grant Corporation's employees standing behind

him. They were all dressed in suits, looking extremely imposing.

I was wondering why Jordan would personally come down to meet them. It turned out that Theo

was here.

Theo looked at me. When I realized that I had been staring at him for too long, I lowered my head

somewhat awkwardly.

Both men were no doubt big bosses. They had obviously never crossed paths yet talked like good

friends who had not seen each other for years. They looked both warm and familiar. They were both

absolute typical examples of wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Lally had a strong ability to read people's minds. She saw what was going on and walked up to me

while whispering in my ears, "It's work time. Just put other things aside for now. Don't get

distracted."

I nodded, let out a long sigh, and followed them into Jordan’s office.

There was a secretary in charge of serving tea and fruits. Lally and I stood waiting on the side,

silently listening as both men chatted.

As the men chatted, the topic of conversation was suddenly about me.

Theo looked at me with a face full of smiles and said, "I saw the employee wall downstairs just now.

Ms. Lane here must b e your secretary, right?”

Jordan looked meaningfully at me. 'That's right. She's my secretary. Although she just joined the

company, she has commendable skills and has completely adapted to her job.”

Theo nodded and said thoughtfully, "It's no wonder you allowed her to take over this project."

I was a little speechless. All I wanted was t o be invisible before the start of the meeting. Was that

very hard?

Perhaps the atmosphere was a little tense, s o the secretary who came in to serve the tea burned

her hand because her hands trembled. This caused the tea to spill.

She yelped and drew everyone's attention.

The secretary felt her scalp tingle under the stares of these two very oppressive-looking men. She

nearly burst out in tears o n the spot.

Jordan frowned imperceptibly and looked a t Theo, saying, "Let’s briefly discuss this project, Mr.

Theo."

Theo hummed softly and looked at the secretary who burned her hand, saying blandly, "Go and get

some rest if you've burned yourself.”

He looked at me and said after a pause, "M s. Lane, I hope you don't mind pouring us tea."

Great. It turned out that he was just waiting for this moment.

Cally hurriedly walked toward the secretary and signaled with her eyes, asking her to quickly leave.

The secretary did not want to stay for a minute more and quickly fled the scene.

Cally looked at Theo and said with a smile," I'm really sorry, Mr. Grant. Maybe I should pour you tea

instead? Although Ms. Lane is Mr. Fredericks’ secretary, she's the person i n charge of this project

and needs to prepare the documents needed for the meeting later."

Theo raised his eyebrows. "I'm only asking her to pour tea. It won’t affect anyone's work. It’s fine if

you think that my request i s unreasonable."

As soon as he said that, he looked at Elena, who was sitting beside him. He said with a smile, "Ms.

Mandez, looks like you'll have t

o pour us tea, then."
