There was obvious concern in those deep eyes.

"I went to bed a long time ago. I just came down to take a look because I heard something."

He quickly heaved a sigh of relief. "It was quite tricky. You know how my personal situation affects the entire business to some extent."

Theo paused when he said this. "Whatever that should come will come sooner or later. I was aware of this since the day it happened. Not to mention..." Not to mention?

I looked up in surprise. Was there something else that I was unaware of?

Theo did not seem to want to talk about it, however, and abruptly stopped there.

A somewhat cool hand grasped mine, and the expression on Theo's face was practically blurred under the dim light.

"Not much. Some reporters were trying to get more information from me and waited for me."
