Chapter 872

"You still prefer quiet places as always," she said with a smile.

I did not deny it. "Some people say that women should eat fewer pastries or they'll get old easily."

She was amused and popped a piece into her mouth. " What's the definition of old for women?"

Her question rendered me speechless.

Celine took her seat beside me and said with a smile," Some people are obviously in their 20s yet

they have n o expectations and dreams for the future. They muddle through their lives. Some are

obviously 70 or 8 0 years old yet are still trying new things and living positive lives. Which group of

these two kinds of people do you think are older?"

She might not seem old enough but she had a clear view of things.

I smiled slightly. "I hope most people in their 20s to their 70s can live positive lives and stay young

until the day they die."

We had a lot in common to talk about, and after chatting for almost ten minutes, Theo went on stage

for a speech. Only then did Celine leave.

I finished my food and had nothing to do, so I walked

around freely in the ballroom.

There were a lot of employees in Grant Corporation, and after inviting several business leaders and

distinguished figures in Whaldorf City, the ballroom was dense with the crowd.

Some of the small-scale Al research machines were given out to several outstanding employees.

Then, Theo took the opportunity to announce to everyone that the Al machinery field would be

handled by Elena.

At the sight of the novel Al machines, I must admit that Elena was truly an outstanding researcher

and deserved to be valued by Theo.

After his speech, Theo left the stage and walked straight toward me.

He ignored the gazes of the crowd and held my hand, asking, "How are the pastries?"

"Really good." This was the best evaluation that could ever come out of my mouth.

Theo looked dotingly at me. "I'll ask the pastry chef to come over to our place to make them for you

if you want to eat them next time."

I laughed. "Aren't you afraid that I'll gain weight?"

"It's good to gain weight. It proves that you're healthy.”

With the identity that Theo had, he was bound to be the center of attention. I was not used to being

stared a t, so I thought I should drag him out for a walk.

There were two doors at the ballroom, and one of them led to the swimming pool, whereas another

led to the courtyard. Theo and I planned to go to the courtyard when we heard a cry for help.

After listening closely, we realized that someone had fallen into the pool. Theo and I quickly made

our way t o the swimming pool.

Some people who were good at swimming had already jumped into the pool to rescue the person.

Theo asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?”

The employee standing on the side quickly said, "Ms. Mandez was pushed into the swimming pool.”

I frowned. "She was pushed?”

"I don't know what happened exactly," the employee said with a choking voice as though he had

received a shock.

Elena was rescued. The water in the pool in winter was cold, and she was shivering. Her lips were

turning blue.

The hotel attendant brought a blanket and draped it around her, but she was still shivering due to

the cold.

Theo walked over and half-bent beside her. "Are you okay?"

Elena was so frightened that she had yet to realize what was going on. She stared at Theo for a

very long time before suddenly jumping into his arms and crying her heart out.
