Chapter 360
Theodore shut his eyes, and tried to control the fire burning in his heart.
“Stop laughing,” he hissed.
His chest was almost bursting with anger.
Sydney coughed dryly, and said, “Fine, I’ll stop laughing. I have no idea why Rose blocked you. Why don’t I bring her along to our next meeting? I did ask Rose to come with me when I meet you. That’s a good chance for you to ask her.”
“In that case…” Theodore said, “let’s meet tonight. Ask Rose along, too.”
“I’ll call her later and ask if she’s free,” Sydney promised.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org – All rights reserved.
“She is free,” Theodore said. “She doesn’t need to work now, and she has lots of time on her hands. If she says she’s not free, it must be an excuse. Don’t let her have her way.”
The arrogance in Theodore’s voice made Sydney furrow her brows.
“No wonder she blocked you.”
“What?” Theodore furrowed his brows as well. “Do you know why she did it?”
Sydney sighed. “Son, it’s because sometimes…you’re annoying.”
Theodore was stunned.
It was the first time in his entire life someone said something like that in his face and it came from his own mother, of all people.
“Do you really not know why?” Sydney said.
“You think Rose is free right now just because she doesn’t have work, and that she can go wherever you want her to.
“Since you’re so high and mighty, why would she bother with you? Are you the only one who’s busy, while she has all the time in the world and with nothing else to do?
“The only thing you know is that she doesn’t have a full-time job, but how do you know what she’s doing when you don’t see her?
“Had you not seen it for yourself last night, would you have thought that she spent the whole day yesterday doing nothing, and simply washed up and went to sleep at night?”
Sydney spoke calmly; she wasn’t fierce, nor was she scolding him. In turn, her calm tone silenced Theodore.
She waited patiently and didn’t rush him for a response. Even over the phone, she could sense that Theodore was in a daze.
This was getting interesting.
After a long silence, Theodore finally said, “I didn’t mean that.”
“Really?” Sydney challenged, doubtful. “Did you really not mean that?”
“Yes, I said I didn’t,” Theodore insisted.

“Don’t talk about this anymore.”
“Fine.” Sydney didn’t press the matter further. “I’ll ask her if she’s free before calling you again.”
“Okay. Ask her quickly.”
“Alright, bye.” Sydney was about to hang up, when she suddenly thought of something. “Oh, yes. There’s one thing…” “What is it?”
“It’s about Rose searching for the problem with Regent Co.”
“What’s the matter? Is there an update? Or did she get herself in trouble?” he asked nervously.
“Not that, it’s just…”
“Just what?”

“I think she’s very smart and has the potential to be mentored. If she’s interested in working at the bank, I’ll definitely guide her.” Content

Theodore nodded. “You’ll have to be proactive about it, then. Otherwise, she might go elsewhere.”
