Chapter 1112

His voice sounded particularly cold. Even the words were squeezed out from between his teeth.

My heart dropped, but I still shook off his hands off and left.

After entering the private room, Mr. Collins was already done eating and was talking to Krayden.

When he saw me coming in, Mr. Collins asked with a smile, "Where did you go for s o long? I don't

think you ate enough. Theo ordered an oatmeal porridge for you and said that you like it. But it's

cold now."

I looked at the bowl of oatmeal on the table, then looked at Mr. Collins, saying, "Thank you."

I took my seat and ate the oatmeal. About ten minutes later, Theo came in with Elena.

Mr. Collins said with a smile, "What happened in that short period of time you went out? You even

changed your clothes and are holding hands now."

Krayden and I looked at them after hearing what he said.

Like what Mr. Collins said, the two were holding hands. Both of them had changed their clothes as

well, looking much more intimate than before.

I knew why they changed their clothes, but others did not.

I thought Theo would explain it but he merely let out a faint smile.

Elena leaned on his shoulders with a coy look on her face. Silence was sweeter than words.

I cast my eyes down and continued eating the oatmeal.

This was pretty good, was it not?

I still had work to do in the afternoon, so Krayden and I returned to the test site after eating.

Krayden had warned me beforehand that it would be busier in the afternoon due to the lack of

manpower. Each person's workload would be huge.

It was good to keep busy because I could forget about a lot of things that had troubled me for a

while.

I was arranging the equipment at the test site when Krayden walked in holding a paper box. He said

jokingly when he walked past me, "You're the only woman here, Ms. Lane. No one wants you to do

the rough work but you've never stopped. It must be hard on you."

I had been squatting on the ground, and my legs felt numb when I stood up. Even my shoulders felt

a little sore.

After taking a few seconds to recollect myself, I looked at Krayden and said, "This i s my job.

Besides, there’s no distinction between men and women in the workplace."

Everyone started complimenting me and made me very shy.

Theo brought Mr. Collins to the test site. It seemed like he was intending to get Mr. Collins to join

the project.

Elena followed beside them and explained certain things to Mr. Collins.

Ms. Mandez and Mr. Grant look really good together," an employee exclaimed.

He was right. The two looked really good together.

Seeing them walking toward me, I quickly lowered my head and concentrated on doing my work.

I thought they would pass by quickly, but Elena suddenly said, "You must be tired from the walking,

Mr. Collins. Let's take a break and try out the fruits that are freshly picked from the trees."

Mr. Collins was particularly fond of natural fruits and vegetables, especially the ones that had just

been harvested.

He was indeed tired from the walking, so h e agreed immediately.

Therefore, Elena helped him to the lounge, whereas Theo looked at me and suddenly said, "Can

you please go to the orchard and pick some fruits, Ms. Lane?"
