NovelEnglishChapter 1089
Those words sounded too ambiguous. Theo's grim gaze fell on me.
Elena smiled slightly as though she was afraid that no one would be there to stir things up. She looked at Jordan
and me, saying, "Are you staying together, Mr. Fredericks and Ms. Lane?"
Jordan nodded naturally before | could reply, saying, "Yeap."
The two Grant Corporation's employees who had no idea about Theo's and my relationship were probably trying
to butter up Jordan. Hence, they said, "You're so nice to Ms. Lane, Mr. Fredericks." "Yeah, | can tell that you're
very close. It's enviable to see you working together and b e able to take care of each other."
Suddenly, I did not know what to say. | tried to explain myself but was afraid that | would say the wrong thing
and seem like | was trying to cover up the truth. Hence, | simply remained silent.
Fortunately, the food arrived very quickly and everyone gradually changed the subject.

get.
When we were finally done having lunch, | breathed a sigh of relief.
Theo had work to do at noon but did not need to go back to the company to do it.
Keith was supposed to send Elena back to the company but had to follow Theo in the afternoon, so when Cally
saw that, she offered, "Wanda can take her back. She has nothing to do at noon."
Before | could refuse, | was pushed into the car by Cally.
In the car, neither Elena nor | spoke.
Halfway through the ride, she spoke first," Am | the reason why you left Mr. Grant?"
| glanced indifferently at her. "No."
Seeing her hugging herself like it was a little cold, | turned up the temperature of the air conditioner.
"Thanks.”
Elena said with an arrogant expression," You're pretty sensible for leaving him knowing that you don’t deserve
him. Looks like you're not that hateful, after all.”
Not wanting to haggle with her, | smiled
slightly. "I'll take you to the hospital to get your ankle looked at. It must be quite serious if you twisted it twice."
She nodded and was not the slightest shy about it. "Sure, you have nothing to do anyway."
When we got to the hospital, the doctor examined and prescribed her an ointment. He asked her to lie down at
hfor a few days and not walk as much as possible.
After leaving the hospital, she looked atand said, "Just takestraight hsince it's hard forto get a
ride home."
Her ankle was injured, so it was indeed inconvenient to get a ride. Hence, | nodded t o agree.
After getting into the car, | received a call from Lally "Why aren’t you back yet? Did something happen on the
road?" Cally asked with sconcern.

| glanced at Elena. "I brought her to the hospital to get her ankle checked. We just left. Can you tell Jordan that |
need to apply for a leave? I'm heading back soon."
"You leavespeechless. Did you hit your head? Why are you taking care of her when she's stealing your
man?"
The volof the call was pushed to the maximum. Even though | had not switched on the loudspeaker, Elena
could still hear it because she was sitting beside me.
| glanced awkwardly at her and saw her staring blankly outside the window as though she did not hear it.
"I'm hanging up first. Let's talk when | get back," | spoke into the phone.
After hanging up the phone, | continued driving.
"We could be friends if it weren't for Theo,” Elena suddenly said.

| gave her a sideways glance, feeling somewhat puzzled.
