Chapter 163
Theo pushed his hands into his pockets and walked confidently ahead. Thea followed behind, her head hanging low. The two of them, one tall and one short, had contrasting auras – one
invincible and the other soft and sweet. Surprisingly, they were exceptionally harmonious.
Theo took a few steps and noticed that Thea was falling behind. He stopped and waited for her. Seeing this, Thea quickly picked up her pace and caught up with him.
“Sorry. I had short legs and couldn’t keep up with you,” Thea dragged Theo’s leg behind, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Theo looked down on her, his gaze resting on the heavy laptop bag on her shoulder.
“Give me the bag,” he commanded.
Thea said, “No way. I was the assistant, you were the CEO. I wouldn’t let the CEO carry my bag, people would criticize me for being arrogant.”
Theo directly took it off. He slung it over his shoulder.
Then Pi smiled but didn’t laugh and said, “You are as tall as the bag, so are you carrying it or is it carrying you?”
Thea was dumbfounded and almost shut herself off.
Theo couldn’t help but smirk as he saw her dazed expression.

This time, he did not leave Thea alone and stride away, but walked side by side with Thea.
Two people arrived at the pre–booked suite. Inside the suite, there was a round marble dining table, filled with various delicacies and treasures. There were also candles and blooming flowers, creating an atmosphere that was exceptionally romantic and cozy. It looked just like a candlelit dinner for a couple.
The guests had not arrived yet.
Thea looked at Theo with confusion and nervously reminded him, “Theodore, these bellflowers and lavender have unique meanings, and I’m afraid they are not suitable for appearing in a negotiation setting.”
Theo pretended to be clueless and asked her, “Oh, sister, do you know their meaning in the language of flowers?”
Thea said, “The meaning of the campanula flower is eternal love, symbolizing the perseverance and waiting for love. As for lavender, its message is about waiting for love.”
Theo seemed to have realized something and said, “So that’s how it was.”
No matter how much Thea tried to explain, Theo would just let it go in one ear and out the other.
“Sister, you are a fashion expert, so you study the language of flowers. But our guest today is an elderly person and a practical entrepreneur, who won’t delve into the meanings of different flowers.”

Thea always felt that something was not right.
Theo, who was usually a perfectionist, had an obsession with achieving perfection. Anything that passed through his hands was never allowed to have any flaws.
Don’t men care less about flowers?
Thea felt that she had made a mountain out of a molehill again.
She chose a spot in the corner and sat down. Little did she know, after pacing back and forth in the room, Theo also flatteringly sat down beside her.
Thea looked at him, he avoided her gaze and then raised his wrist to check the watch, complaining about their partner. “Why haven’t they arrived yet? They have no sense of time. I don’t think we should collaborate anymore.”
Thea laughed and said, “You rarely lose your temper like you today.”
Theo’s body slightly stiffened.
“Did you notice?” He leaned towards him.

Thea said, “Theodore, have you fallen for Ms. Fletcher? Look at you, dressing up and taking off makeup today, and now you’re so absent–minded. It’s obvious that you’re in love.”
Theo opened his mouth and said, “What does this have to do with Ms. Fletcher?” His uneasiness and anxiety were clearly because of her.
However, as soon as Theo finished speaking, a sound of footsteps came from outside the door.

The door of the suite was suddenly pushed open, and Kyler Fletcher and his precious daughter Jewel Fletcher unexpectedly appeared.
Thea whispered to Theo, “Theodore, so the bellflowers and lavender were prepared for Ms. Fletcher. You really have a romantic side.”
Theo was speechless.
Thea stepped forward and said, “Mr. Fletcher, my boss has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Kyler looked puzzled, the person he was supposed to meet today was not Theo, but Nathan. He wanted to take Jewel away, but she seemed rooted like a sculpture, no matter how hard Kyler tried, he couldn’t move her.
Jewel’s gaze was fixed on Theo, who had removed his makeup and taken off ill–fitting clothes. At this moment, he looked like a god descending to earth, radiating golden light from head to toe.
Fair and noble skin, delicate eyebrows and eyes, and a tight jawline. The coquettishness overflowing from that petite face, the elegance in every gesture, instantly trapped Jewel in a seemingly eternal deadlock.
“Is it Theo?” Jewel asked.
Actually, she wasn’t quite sure if the incredibly handsome guy in front of her was the scruffy Mr. Sanchez she had just seen earlier, but after her gaze swept over Thea, she was almost certain that they were the same person.

Theo gave a vague answer. “Both my brother and I were surnamed Sanchez.”

Guillermo never used to call his older brother, but when it came to using someone as a shield, he called out to him more
affectionately than anyone else.
A real man can bend and stretch.
Jewel was not foolish and she changed her way of asking, saying, “Are you Theo?”
Theo cast a pleading look towards Thea.
Thea understood it well, as she was a young teenager experiencing the first stirrings of love, she couldn’t resist such a strong attack. Therefore, she became shy.
Thea entertained Jewel and her father on behalf of Theo. “Ms. Fletcher, please come in and have a seat. Let’s talk slowly.”
He added unnecessarily, “The CEO has been waiting for you for a long time.”
Kyler hesitated.
After all, the person who had an appointment with him was Nathan. In a moment of thought, Kyler suddenly became enlightened, realizing that there was nothing more important than allowing his daughter to pursue her lifelong happiness.
So Kyler and Jewel entered the house and took their seats.
When Thea closed the door, suddenly a sinister figure flashed before her, extremely familiar.

As Thea saw the identity of the person clearly, her face stiffened.
Nathan stood at the doorway, his gaze dark and glaring at her, as if she had stolen his precious treasure.
Thea was also not used to him, and she simply closed the door.
Nathan was stood up.
He looked at the door panel with a hint of anger. Kyler was clearly his guest, yet he was intercepted by Theo?
Damn it.
Thea returned to her seat, only to find that the atmosphere among a few people was strangely awkward. Theo stared straight at Thea, with a look in his eyes that seemed to be filled with frustration.
“Master Sanchez didn’t deceive me after all, Theo used to be so handsome,” Jewel’s eyes sparkled with admiration as she gazed at Theo.
Thea enthusiastically replied to Jewel, “Mr. Sanchez participated in a reality show and gained millions of followers overnight. His current fan base is no less than those top celebrities.”
In order to facilitate this marriage, she greatly praised Theo. “Mr. Sanchez from my family was a national heartthrob.”
Jewel shyly looked at Theo and said, “Theo is much more handsome than those top celebrities.”
