Chapter 1088

The elevator stopped again and a few more people walked in.

He was accidentally bumped by someone walking in, and his body pressed against mine, which

made me even more awkward.

I could distinctly feel my heart beating a little quicker. Theo's gaze fell on my face as he said in a low

and deep voice, "We’ll arrive soon."

Though his words were breezy, they were able to give me a temporary sense of security.

When the elevator arrived on the first floor, Jordan, Elena, and Keith were already waiting at the

door.

Theo walked out of the elevator first. Cally bumped her shoulder against mine and said a little

ambiguously, "I saw that. You were embracing each other."

I blushed. "Cut it out. You made a mistake."

I quickened my pace forward after saying that.

Cally chuckled playfully behind me, which made me blush even more.

When we got to the entrance of the restaurant, Keith left after Theo said something to him.

The two employees following Elena noticed how Elena’s ankle did not seem to be getting better, so

they asked with concern," Should I buy some ointment for you, Ms. Mandez?" "No." Elena refused

with a slight smile. "It's not serious. It should be fine soon."

Her smile was very pleasant to look at, which made the two employees from Grant Corporation feel

like they should be doing something.

Therefore, they said to Theo, "We’d like to excuse ourselves, Mr. Grant.”

Theo heard their exchange and glanced indifferently at them, saying, "Keith has gone to buy it."

The two volunteers felt slightly awkward, but they were now looking at Theo and Elena with an even

more ambiguous gaze.

Jordan glanced blandly at me before saying with a smile, "You’re such a gentleman, Mr. Grant. I

should've thought o f it first. How could I let Keith buy it? Gaily should be the one buying it. She can

also buy some ointment for Ms. Lane while she’s at it. Ladies can't have scars on them."

Cally quickly echoed, "I nearly forgot. I'll go buy it right away."

She left after saying that.

I looked at Jordan and said with a smile," Thank you, Mr. Fredericks."

He raised his eyebrows. "Don't mention it."

When Keith returned, he handed the bag in his hand to Elena. "Should I help you to tend to your

ankle?"

Elena shook her head to refuse. "Thank you, Mr. Keith, but it's okay. It's not serious. I’ll do it after

lunch."

Cally came back even quicker, immediately after Keith. She handed me a box of ointment for my

burn and said, "I’ll go and wash my hands first. I'll then help apply you apply the ointment."

We walked into the restaurant one after another and took our seats. Jordan took the ointment from

my hands and said with a smile, "Let me apply it for you."

What was wrong with him?

I believed he did so without the best of intentions.

Before I could refuse, Jordan took out the ointment and put my hand on his lap to apply the

ointment for me.

When Lally came back after washing her hands and saw him applying the ointment for me, she

looked at him with horror. "Mr. Fredericks, why are you—"

"Anything wrong with it?" Jordan raised his head, looking indifferently at her with a pair of dark eyes.

Lally quickly shook her head. "No. Jordan concentrated on applying the ointment to my burn as

Theo watched with cold eyes. The air suddenly felt a little weird.

I felt as though I was sitting on pins and needles under several people's gazes.

Jordan, however, remained indifferent as though this had nothing to do with him

After applying the ointment, he picked up my hand and blew on the scalded area, saying with

extremely gentle actions, "It probably won’t leave a scar. I'll apply it for you again when we go home

tonight. It should recover in a few days. Keep it dry for a few days. Leave all the chores to me.'
