Before Jorge could finish his sentence, Theodore cut him off. “You’re trying to say that he’s siding with Celeste again and bullying Ms. Locket, aren’t you?”

Jorge was surprised that Theodore hit the nail on the head. Old man, how’d you know? Don’t tell me you already know what happened?”

Theodore replied, “I don’t. I guessed.”

Back when Celeste and Matthias agreed to work with his foolish son for his sake, it was clear they wouldn’t deliberately make things difficult for him in the workplace

His son also wasn’t the kind to stir up trouble at work for no reason. So, even if they couldn’t become friends, their professional relationship should have stayed smooth.
