Chapter 16

"Mom, Theophilus played a role in the praise I received from Chairman Joe." Dulcie said: "Please don’t interfere with our work."

"Alright, for now, let it be." Mrs. Ariel frowned, then agreed, still looking displeased at Theophilus: "Theophilus, don’t bring more trouble to this family. When you’re at the company with Dulcie, don’t hinder her work. I won’t let it slide if you do!"

At this point, Mr. Anselm fiddled with an empty cigarette packet, speaking up: "Theophilus, could you go down and buy me a pack of cigarettes?"

Theophilus nodded and stood up to go downstairs. After two years of hearing Mrs. Ariel's constant nagging, he had grown accustomed to it and didn't pay much attention.

After buying two packs of cigarettes from the grocery store at the entrance of the residential area, Theophilus was about to head back home.

Screech!

A sleek black Toyota suddenly pulled up in front of him.
