Chapter 189
Katherine and Theodore were just about to leave the institute together when they saw Joaquin's car parked right in front of the institute, and he was leaning on his car, looking at his phone.
Katherine was astonished to see Joaquin there. "Why are you here?" she asked.
As Joaquin sensed someone was approaching, he looked up and stuffed his phone into his pocket. He greeted Theodore and only answered Katherine, "Well, I came to pick you up."
"Pick me up?" She pointed at herself and asked in disbelief.
Joaquin nodded. "Well, Ben told me about the issues you are currently facing. I looked at the time and estimated that you should be leaving the institute soon. So, I will be waiting for you here. Come, get in the car. I'll take you to a place." He then walked around the car and opened the car door for her.
"I was planning to have lunch with Theodore." She was pretty speechless at his whim. Nonetheless, she still got into the car as he told her, and only then did she tell Joaquin her initial plan.
"It's okay," said Joaquin before turning to Theodore and smiling. "Where are you heading to, Mr. Muller? I can give you a ride and treat you to dinner another day."
Theodore merely waved his hand. "Don't mind me. I don't want to be third wheeling. I can go home by myself. So don't worry about me."
"We'll invite you to dinner some other day for sure." Joaquin did not even bat an eye even after hearing Theodore's words. It was as if he just wanted alone time with Katherine that he nodded at Theodore, got into the car unceremoniously, and was more than ready to leave.
