Feeling awkward from his gaze, Ariana stammered, "Well, what can I do about it?

Don't they have a single room?"

“It's not easy to book a room at the film and television center now. They can't even spare a room for a few hours," Theodore lied masterfully. He cast her a meaningful gaze and suggested, "So you should take me in tonight."

Ariana wasn't about to take Theodore in. She had yet to calm herself down. Besides, she didn't know what he felt for her, and her mind was a mess.

However, one thing was for sure. She was unwilling to share a room with Theodore now.

Her mind was filled with him. She would go mad if he stayed.

Ariana said hesitantly, "How about going home? You can always leave this place."

“Horace drove the car away," Theodore rebutted her while glancing at her with an unreadable expression.

“Then call him," she replied as she tucked her hair behind her ear, avoiding his eyes. She knew it was rude to ask him to return to Eleymond at this hour, but she couldn't care less.

Theodore smiled and said, "Horace asked for leave. He went to meet his girlfriend."

Ariana was surprised and gasped, "Isn't Horace by your side 24 hours a day? How could he have a girlfriend?"

"Horace is not a machine. Of course, he has his private life. He might be asleep with his girlfriend now. Should I call him and get him to pick me up?" Theodore asked cheekily as he rolled his wheelchair to the sofa and removed his suit jacket.

It seemed that he was determined to stay.

"So what do you want? Should I call Horace?" Theodore asked again.

Ariana stared at him in annoyance. He knew what her reply was. It was obviously rude to disturb Horace at this hour, but she didn't want Theodore to stay.

“Fine, I'll leave if you want me to. But your crew members should be back by now. If I meet them along the way, don't blame me if I can't explain my presence properly,"

Theodore said as he pretended to leave.

However, Ariana grabbed his wheelchair in a hurry and cried, "Wait, I didn't say that you must go."

“So you agree to take me in?" Theodore asked expectantly.

Ariana hesitated again.
