Chapter 223

Embarrassed by the respectful tone on the other end, Nydia said, “Pick a place, and I’ll come to talk to you about something.”

“Okay.”

Soon Theo sent her the location, and she took a taxi there.

It was working hours, and Nydia thought Theo would be in formal attire, but he was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, looking very young.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,” Nydia needed some time to come over.

“It’s okay. What’s the matter?”

Now, besides Jesse, Nydia could trust only Theo. She didn’t believe him at first, but after Theo expressed his sincerity, she thought that with his current ability, he could still keep his promise made years ago, which was really admirable.

“I want to start an entertainment agency. I’ll be responsible for the investment, and you’ll be responsible for the operation of the company and the profits…” Nydia was interrupted by Theo, “Just pay me a salary. You don’t need to give me a share of the profits.”

“…” Did this person think money was worthless?!

Nydia knew his character. If he didn’t want it, he wouldn’t accept it. He might get angry if she insisted on giving him a share of the profits.

Then she’ll just have to pay him a higher salary.

“I’ll give you a list later, and you’ll sign the people on the list.”

“Okay.”

“Let me know how much capital you need when the time comes.”

“Okay.”

“Did my dad ever tell you anything before? Can you tell me?”

“The chairman didn’t really talk to me about company matters. He just told me to become stronger and protect you. He asked me to stand by your side and protect you no matter what happens.”

Nydia lowered her head, her nose feeling sour.

“Were you abroad when Jesse and I got married?”

Theo’s expression changed, and he quickly got up and bowed deeply to Nydia, startling her.

“What are you doing? Sit down!”

“Miss, when I saw you before, you seemed to be living well in the Malone family, and the chairman had a good relationship with Cade before. So I thought you were doing well, and I thought I needed to earn more money, otherwise I wouldn’t be able to help you if you needed it in the future.”

“So you went abroad?”

“Yes, I went abroad to finish my studies and then came back to start a company.”

Back then, he was weak and had no status or ability to protect Nydia. He felt he couldn’t take care of her properly. Who knew that by the time he returned after completing his studies, Nydia had already married Jesse.

“At that time, I thought if I suddenly appeared, you wouldn’t leave with me, and you had two children at that time.”

“Yes, you’re right.” If Theo had appeared back then, she wouldn’t have gone with him. Willette might even have falsely accused her of having a relationship with Theo. “By the way, when Tavish and I fell into the water, did you save me?”

“At that time, I had someone secretly protecting your safety. It was that person who saved you and your child.”

“Thank you!” She was very scared afterwards. If someone hadn’t saved them in time, she could have been reborn, but Tavish wouldn’t have had that chance.

Theo smiled and shook his head. “This is what I should do. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. My life is given by the chairman and you, Miss.”

Back then, he was just a down-and-out beggar, stealing things to survive. He met the chairman and his life changed from that moment on.

Nydia and Theo left after spending more than an hour together.

She now needs to focus on her career and rely on herself in everything. Only when she is strong enough can she compete with those people behind her.

By the time she returned home, it was already late. She quickly made dinner, and the two children were happy to come home from school and eat the food she cooked, even having an extra bowl of rice.

Meanwhile, Jesse was still waiting at the office, hoping someone would bring him a packed dinner.

“Vergil, call and ask who made dinner tonight.”
