"Don't take it off anymore," Theo said in a commanding tone.
| nodded with a smile. "Okay."
Theo's gaze deepened, and he lowered his head to seal my lips.
Now that the project was suspended, | was idle. However, | felt irritable during the day, and so did Lally.
Before Shannon was discharged from the hospital, Lally and | had gone to visit her several times. When we spoke
about the project, she could tell that we were worried. Hence, she took Lally andfor a meal the day she got
discharged.
"Whether Grant Corporations intends to carry on with the project is entirely up to them. There's no use getting
anxious about it. Why not eat something delicious and go out and have sfun since you have nothing to do?"
Shannon kept persuading us in the car.
Cally had been looking weary lately, and even her daily makeup was not as delicate as it used to be. It seemed
like she had been having trouble sleeping at night.

On the contrary, | was fine. Although Theo was snowed under with work, he would chevery night and
makesleep on the dot. If | did not feel like sleeping or could not fall asleep, he would eventually wearout
and | would fall asleep.
Aware that the unseemly images had cto mind, | blushed a little.
"I don’t want to be anxious either, but the longer this project is on hold, the more losses the company will suffer.
If the worst outcis that Fredericks Corporations give up on this project, I'll
go bankrupt." Cally wanted to cry.
At this point, Fredericks Corporations had lost a lot of money. Aside from the site contractors’ fees, the workers’
monthly wages had to be paid as usual despite there being no progress. It was simply equivalent to giving away
free money.
If the project proceeded, Cally could pay less compensation once she obtained a sizable share from the project. If
the project was terminated, then she was certainly not exaggerating when she said that she would go bankrupt.
She was a single mother with elderly parents and children to take care of. The family's burden had fallen on her
shoulders. One could only imagine how pressured she felt.
"The losses that Fredericks Corporations will suffer is a problem for Mr. Fredericks t o worry about. Don't start
panicking with him now. | can also make up for the remaining of your compensation fee. It's no big deal. Stop
thinking about these things right now and let's go have something good to eat. Let's make today a happy day,"
Shannon said with a smile.
The car cto the entrance of the restaurant. Cally took a look at the restaurant's signboard and gasped. "I
know you're rich, Missy, but there's really no need to squander your money like this. A meal here is worth a
month of my salary. M y heart aches for the money spent.”
Shannon got out of the car and handed the keys to the valet. She turned around and said with a smile, "Don't
givethat exaggerated look. Do you think | have no idea that you used to eat in these expensive restaurants?
Besides, I'm not asking you to pay for it. Why are you worried about money?”
Lally cleared her throat and said a little helplessly, "I can't help it. I'm carrying a huge amount of debt. | have to
hesitate even when I'm only spending a dollar.”
Although compared to an advanced city like Whaldorf City, this city's economic development might seem a little
inferior, it did not mean that this city was not as prosperous.
In terms of luxurious and high-spending places, this city was not inferior to Whaldorf City at all.

This restaurant was famous for being
expensive. It was expensive for a reason. Aside from their grand services, the ingredients were the most superior
of all.
Shannon was probably a regular customer here as she directly went to the cashier and handed her a card. A
waiter soon brought us to a private room.
After taking our seats, Shannon looked at u s and said, "There's no food in this restaurant that's bad. You can
even shut your eyes and place an order."
Sally clicked her tongue. "You're acting more and more like a rich woman now."
"She is a rich woman,” | corrected her.
The dishes were served very quickly. Like Shannon said, every dish was delicious.
It was true that good food can boost one’s mood. Sally and | were smiling more now.
Halfway through the meal, Shannon suggested we order a bottle of red wine.
Lally and I did not object. When the red wine was served, Shannon started inviting us to drink and seemed «
extraordinarily excited.
