Chapter 413:

Freda’s bestie, Alena Walsh, continued, “Don’t forget Theo’s ex-girlfriend is a violinist. If he’s inviting you to enjoy music, maybe it’s to see her.”

Freda hesitated and responded uncertainly, “No way. Theo wouldn’t do that, would he?”

Alena snorted. “Who knows? That’s how men are. I don’t think you need to bother making any special preparations. Maybe he really is taking you to see his ex-girlfriend. What will you do then?”

Anger flared in Freda as she clenched her teeth. She realized Alena might be correct. The upcoming date could end in disappointment. Yet, she believed in Theo’s affection for her and trusted he wouldn’t intentionally hurt her.

“No, I don’t think so. I trust Theo isn’t the type to hurt me intentionally. Even if he’s not into me, he wouldn’t harm me,” Freda insisted.

Theo sat in his office, attentively listening to the manager’s report. Suddenly, his assistant, Jaime Cruz, rushed in and whispered something urgently into his ear.

Furrowing his brow, Theo raised his hand, interrupting the manager mid-sentence. “Alright, proceed as discussed. You may leave first.”

The manager nodded and exited the room.

Turning to Jaime, Theo asked, “Is it true that Elyse will be participating in that competition tomorrow?”

Jaime replied, “Yes, I’ve looked into it. She will be competing, and I’ve made arrangements for someone to secure front-row tickets. We’ll have them.”

Theo nodded thoughtfully before expressing his confusion, “Then why did you appear so concerned when you entered? Isn’t acquiring front-row tickets a positive development?”
