Chapter 337

What caught the eye was Jewel scrambling up from the ground in a fluster. There was a faint red mark on her forehead. Theo looked at Thea uneasily.

The atmosphere suddenly became very eerie.

Thea said, “Did I disturb you? Maybe I’ll come back later.” She finished speaking and was about to leave.

Theo also felt that it would be best for both of them to calm down at the moment, but he became alert to the possibility that Thea might have misunderstood him and Jewel. So he hurriedly chased after her, grabbed Thea’s hand, and said, “Thea, I’m hungry. I happen to want to eat some pastries.”

Thea looked at him suspiciously, while Theo took her hand and led her to his seat..

Thea placed the lunchbox on his computer desk. Carefully, she opened the lunchbox.

Theo grabbed a piece of peach pastry in a panic and stuffed it into his mouth, completely losing his former elegance.

Thea saw him in such a panic and realized that there must have been a secret between him and Jewel that they couldn’t

disclose.

“How come Ms. Fletcher is here?” Thea asked directly.

Theo choked on a piece of peach pastry and started coughing.

Theo drank some water and calmed down.

He waved his hand to Jewel and said, “You go first.”

Jewel, however, hesitated. She looked at Thea with lingering reluctance.

“Thea…” she looked like she had something to say to Thea.

Thea looked eagerly at Jewel, waiting for her next words.

Who knew Theo’s sharp gaze warning Jewel, “Haven’t you left yet?”

Jewel had no choice but to leave.

Thea stared at Theo discontentedly and said, “Are you hiding something from me?”

Jewel had just reached the door when she heard Thea’s arrogant voice. She couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat for Thea: shouting at Theo like that, what if she angered him and he punished her?
