On top of the floor of the Dalton family's company building...
The lights in the president's office were still on.
Theo was in front of the computer and doing overtime.He was wrapped in tailored clothes with a simple
white lining, indicating his simplicity and professionalism.
After meeting Danica at Manuel's office earlier, Theo's self-control had shattered completely, and her
face had not left his mind.
Danica's heart was so full of him that she did everything for him in the past.
When Theo recalled how Danica ignored him, it was like something had blocked his heart.
These emotions had bothered and affected him so much that he was forced to do overtime.
Amid the silence, his phone rang.It was Patrick, his good friend, partner, and a known playboy in J city.
Theo didn't want to pick up the call because he knew that Patrick would only ask him to go for a drink,
which he didn't have time for right now.
He was always focused on work and would never go to a boring party until his work was done.But the
phone kept ringing so he did not have the choice but to answer it.
"Guess who I just saw" Patrick immediately said.
Theo was disinterested but still asked, "Who?"
He was already in a bad mood, and he didn't want to hear about any of Patrick's female engagements.
Patrick exclaimed, "It's Danica! Your ex-wife!"
Theo frowned upon hearing Patrick's choice of words.
Patrick should only say Danica’s name and not include his ex-wife.
It was unpleasant to hear.
Patrick curiously asked, "Didn't she say that she went abroad? Has she returned already?"
Back then, Danica initiated the divorce that surprised Patrick and the others.
Later, someone asked about Danica's whereabouts and was told that she went abroad on the
afternoon of the same day after getting the divorce certificate.
They did not bother to ask why because they were only concerned about Theo.
They were worried that Danica had made that decision out of impulse, and she might come back to
pester him again.
Theo was not interested in talking about Danica, so he responded casually, "Yes"
Unexpectedly, an idea popped into Patrick's mind.
"Have you met her?"
Before he could even reply, Patrick had already bombarded him with questions, "How is it? She didn't
come back to bug you, did she?"
"No, Theo spat, but Patrick's questions made him more frustrated.He did not want to continue the
conversation and planned to end the call.
"That's good?” Patrick said, relieved.
Then, he added, "But since she is free, I have seen her hanging out with a guy, possibly younger’
"Young guy?"
Theo could not help but raise his voice.
Patrick quickly replied, "Yes.His name is Kris Tanner, a member of a popular group.He seemed to be in
his early twenties.Pretty young, huh?"
Theo asked in a cold voice, "Where are you eating?"
Without much thought, Patrick told him where he was.
But when he realized Theo's question, he quickly asked, "Are you coming?"
Before he could finish speaking, Theo had already hung up the phone.
Patrick held his phone, looking excited.He thought that something interesting was about to
happen.Theo couldn't have rushed over because of his ex-wife, right?
