âThen you have to ask yourself, when did you change your caller ID on my phone?â
Theodore countered.
âI canât do that? Iâll do it again!â Ariana mocked.
âAlright, alright.
I hope next time itâs a normal name, otherwise I canât even find my dear wifeâs contact number in my phone.
â Theodore laughed.
Though Ariana remained uneasy, her anger subsided somewhat.
She inquired, âWhy is Helen here? Tell me the truth.
â
âSheâs having a heart surgery tomorrow.
She said she was scared and came here.

Worried that Ariana might misunderstand the situation, Theodore clarified, âI havenât visited her at the hospital for a while.
After all, she considers me her brother.
I may go see her with Horace tomorrow before she has the surgery.
â
He mentioned Horaceâs name, implying he wouldnât be alone with Helen.
Hearing this, Arianaâs anger disappeared, and she didnât bring up Helen again.
After all, after observing several times, she was certain that Helen had feelings for Theodore, but he didnât reciprocate them.
âNow, I need to get back to work.
Remember to eat.
Donât neglect your health because youâre too busy.
Youâll be in trouble if I find out you havenât eaten.
â Ariana spoke sternly, but she genuinely cared for Theodore.
A warmth filled Theodoreâs heart, washing away his fatigue.
He responded softly, âI understand.
When Iâm done with work, Iâll be there to be with you.
â
âalright.
Bye, brother Theodore.
â Ariana giggled and hung up the phone as soon as she finished.
Theodore put down the phone and shook his head in resignation.
Glancing at the time, he used the landline to call Horace in.
âHave someone escort Helen back to the hospital.
â
Horace replied, âBoss, Helen already left.
She said sheâd go back to the hospital on her own.
â
Meanwhile, Ariana returned to her office.

Marge was still there.
Spotting Ariana, she immediately approached and asked, âHowâs it going? Whatâs the deal with the woman in the white dress?â
âItâs a misunderstanding.
Sheâs just a relative of Theodoreâs.
â Ariana responded, her mood lifted.
Marge breathed a sigh of relief.
âThatâs good.
Thatâs good to hear.
â
After work, Theodore remained busy and had to return home late, so he instructed the driver to take Ariana home.
Glancing at her watch, Ariana saw it was still early and decided against asking the driver to take her home.
She wanted to go to the supermarket to buy groceries and head home by herself.
Without Theodore, she found it boring to be alone at home.
