Heard that, Iris paused for a second, but she was still trying to put on a smile, took Theo's outstretched hand, and tried to suppress the quiver in her voice.
"Mr. Kilias, I'm Iris Watson, today's chief interpreter, nice to meet you too!" She looked straight at Theo and continued, "I looked familiar to you? Maybe it's because we met at some work occasions, I did interpretation jobs for years."
"Work occasions?" Theo's voice was faintly mocking, "Maybe."
Mr. Hadid looked at them, confused, but tought of that the hospital had appointed Iris to be their interpreter, he seemed to know something was happened between Iris and Theo.
Mr. Hadid smiled and added, "Iris is the youngest and most talented interpreter in our company, she will definitely does a great job! "
Theo let go of Iris' hand, looked at Hadid and nodded, "Of course."
After a few pleasantries, Hadid looked at his watch and said to Theo, "The event will start in ten minutes, we will go out and get ready for it."
Theo swept his gaze over Iris, giving her a deep look when Hadid wasn't looking, then nodded faintly and watched them walk out of the office.

Iris returned to her seat, struggling to calm her thoughts. The person who had a passionate night with her had suddenly appeared again and in such a dramatic way.
Her emotions were complicated at the moment. Checking the time, there were less than five minutes before the event started.
Iris could only pat her face, trying not to dwell on her random thoughts. 'I have to finish my work first, I need to earn the trust of my colleagues and my boss,' she told herself.
The event began, with the host inviting the guests and audience to take their seats. Iris quickly adjusted her state of mind and immediately entered work mode.
"Next," the host's voice became excited and higher, "Let's welcome the organizer of this event and the CEO of Theo Kilias' Medical Center, Mr. Theo Kilias!"
Iris's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly reacted and translated the host's words sentence by sentence. After finishing her interpretation, she looked up and caught Theo standing up, greeting the crowd.
People cheered and applauded, and the spotlight shone on him, as if casting a golden glow around him.
Iris sighed inwardly, 'He really looks like a celebrity and he actually is, ' She then lowered her head and continued working, avoiding any distractions.

The event came to an end amidst Theo's gratitude and the long applause from the audience. Iris took off her headphones and let out a sigh of relief. She was satisfied with her performance today.
Anna, sitting next to her, nudged Iris with her elbow, "Didn't Mr. Hadid call you to meet Kilias before the event?"
Iris nodded, and Anna leaned closer. "He's so handsome! Do you want to come with me to take a photo with him later?"
Iris smiled and waved her hand, "No, thanks. I have something else to do." She couldn't even avoid him now, so why would she voluntarily go find him?
As they chatted, a man in a suit approached them and said to Iris, "Miss Watson, please come with me. Our boss has someting to discuss with you. "
Iris was puzzled. Based on her experience, interpreters could leave after the work was done... Wait, did the boss of the Medical Center express dissatisfaction? But the response from the audience was great. Iris couldn't figure out what happened.
She was confused and a little nervous, had no idea what happened.
With this question in mind, Iris stood up and followed the man. Anna called out from behind, "I'll be waiting here!" Iris turned back and made an OK gesture with her hand.
The man led her to the same office they were in earlier that morning and instructed her, "Mr. Kilias will be here shortly." With that, he closed the door behind him and left.
Iris sat on the sofa, carefully observing the office. It had a simple design with gray and white tones, everything neatly arranged. There was a football-themed decoration on the desk.
'His office has the same quality as him,' looked around the office, Iris thought to herself, 'Neat and cold.'
As Iris examined the office, Theo pushed the door open and walked in. He closed the door and approached his desk, speaking in a emotionless tone , "Hope I didn't make you wait too long. "
Iris shook her head, looked up, and met his gaze. She took the initiative to speak, "I just arrived, sir. May I ask what do you need to discuss with me? Are you dissatisfied with our work or something else that I can help with?"
Theo chuckled at her words, leaving Iris confused. What did he mean?
Theo restrained his smile and met Iris's quizzical gaze, speaking slowly, "You were doing a great job, but there's something I am not satisfied with… "
Iris tensed at this, was he going to deny her work? He paused for a moment and he leaned approached Iris, he covered her with the shadow of his body.
"You said we met at work occasions? " he pointed at her lips, "So you mean you kissed me and had a passionate night with me at work occasions? "
Iris widened her eyes with shock, how could he be so blunt without hiding?
"I…" Iris stumbled, she didn't expect Theo let her come to his office for this. But she immidiately fought him back in her way.
" You know my boss was there," Iris looked at his eyes, stated a little bit mad, "Should I said, yep! Darling, of course we've met each other, remembered when and where? Last week and we were at a fancy hotel! "
Theo looked at her, smiled at a spoiling way, "I would love that, this is you, unlike the professional cold Iris at work, I don't mind anyone knowing it, especially in front of your boss," he added , "To be honest, I want to tell everyone, I have a crush on you, Iris. "
