Chapter 28
Horace repeated Ariana’s comments, which he had found out about through his network of insiders.
“Jasper is no match for me…” Theodore’s face lit up with a smile.
“Did she really say that?”
Horace hesitated before speaking, carefully selecting his words.
“That’s what she meant.
”
He finally answered Theodore’s question, although he believed the main point of Ariana’s comments was to criticize Jasper, and not to praise his boss.
Despite this, Horace felt he could not say that, and so he skirted around the issue.
Theodore’s expression relaxed, pleased with Ariana’s staunch support.
As they wrapped up their conversation, a faint sound coming from outside the door interrupted their discussion.
Theodore signaled to Horace that it was time to end the video call.
“Let’s call it a day,” he whispered in a hushed tone.
“If there’s anything important that comes up, don’t hesitate to inform me, especially if it’s regarding Ariana,” he added, his voice serious and deliberate.
“Yes, sir.
”
Horace didn’t stop there.
“And, Ms.
Edwards spoke in your favor today,” he revealed.
Curiosity piqued, Theodore leaned forward.
“Really? What did she say?” he asked, his eyes glistening with interest.

That night, Ariana returned home completely fagged out.
She didn’t have the appetite or strength to have dinner, so she went straight to her room.
She took a hot shower and planned to go to bed extra early.
But as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she saw someone in her room.
“Theodore! What are you doing in my room?”
Ariana asked, startled.
“Your room? This is my house, so all the rooms in it are mine!” Theodore sneered, wheeling himself to the table.
He poured himself a cup of tea and took the first sip.
“Tell me how your first day at work went.
”
Ariana could bet on it that Theodore was the one who asked Donna to make her clean the storage room.
She sneered at him and said, “Why should I? After all, you already know how it went!”
