Chapter 1085

Elena nodded with a smile. “Sure."

Her smile was warm, making her look very generous.

This had made the employees of Fredericks Corporations seem narrowminded. Cally's

countenance suddenly sank.

Jordan looked at me and said coolly, "I think you should do it, Ms. Lane. How can our guests pour

their own tea?"

I nodded and walked over to pour tea.

Elena had already stood up. When Theo saw that I was there to pour tea, he said to Jordan, “Don't

be polite with me, Mr.

Fredericks. We’re going to be partners in the future. We’ll have to work together for a long time.

There are many things we can't d o well if we’re too polite."

Jordan smiled slightly. "You're right, Mr. Grant. But this is our first formal meeting, s o the proper

etiquette needs to be in place."

Theo nodded with a smile, then looked at Elena and said softly, 'Since Ms. Lane is willing, then you

should let her do it. Your leg injury has not healed yet, so sit down and take a rest."

If these words were said on any other occasion, or in a private room where no one was around, or if

someone else had said it, then it would not sound strange at all. However, these words came out of

the mouth of an icy man like Theo.

All of a sudden, everyone looked at Theo and Elena with ambiguous gazes. Some employees from

Grant Corporation who did not know me put on an expression that seemed to confirm their previous

thoughts.

It seemed like everyone thought Theo and Elena had been flirting and they finally received a

confirmation now.

Elena froze a little, then her flawlessly fair face started blushing, which made her look quite dainty.

Jordan glanced at me before retracting his gaze and continuing his discussion about the project

with Theo.

Theo wanted to build a resort on this plot of land. The profit ceiling would be too low if i t was an

ordinary resort, so he intended to merge it with Grant Corporation's recent involvement in the field of

intelligence to create a unique resort. He planned to have a series of industrial chains in the resort’s

surroundings.

When the two bosses discussed the project, the rest of us could only listen quietly from the

sidelines.

I had poured tea before, and now that I was extra careful about everything, I knew that I was not

going to make any mistakes.

When Elena passed by, however, she deliberately tripped me. I fell on the floor in a very wretched

state.

Hot water spilled on me and I could not help but cry out in pain.

Lally was quick to react and rushed over to help me up. She asked a little worriedly," I’ll take you to

the washroom to get this cleaned up.”

She planned to take me away after saying that.

"Wait," Elena called out to us in a cold voice. "The project meeting is about to start. Don’t you need

to organize the files needed for the meeting and do a project report, Ms. Lane? Mr. Grant still has

work t o do this afternoon and has no time to waste here.”

Gaily looked back at her with a frown. "She has been scalded and needs to go out to get it treated.”

Elena nodded. "I understand. I don't mean t o be harsh. I'm just reminding you to pay attention to

the time. Go on, then. It won’t b e good if a woman has scars.”

Both men exchanged glances. Jordan looked at me and asked, "Are you okay?”

I nodded. "The water isn’t very hot. I’ll get changed and come back as soon as I can."

Jordan said, "I have clothes in the lounge of my office. Get changed and come back earlier.

Cally wanted to come with me but I refused. I looked at her and smiled slightly, saying, "I'm fine. I

can go by myself. Stay here.”

After going to the washroom to rinse my scalded hand, I went to Jordan’s office.

Although I doubted that there was women's clothing in Jordan’s office, I knew it was not realistic for

me to go out and buy clothes now. I could only go and take a look.

The decor in Jordan's lounge was very simple. There was nothing else aside from a bed and

wardrobe. It was plain and cool, completely in line with his character.
