Iris looked up at him in shock, hardly believing what she just heard.
He said he liked her?
This man with a noble and cold appearance told her he liked her on the second meeting they met each other?
Iris didn't believe what Theo said at all, and found it very funny, ' How many women has this man has fooled with such fake sweet words and his celebrity status?'
He should think Iris would just be seduced by his looks, fame and money, as anyone else did?'
Iris snorted, "Do you know who I am?" She stood up and got a little closer to him, almost face to face with Theo, "I'm not an 18 year old girl, that shit doesn't work on me."
After saying that, Iris winked and smiled while staring at theo with her beautiful eyes, as if she was a seductive fox, flirtatious to the extreme.
Iris got too close to Theo, he could even smell the aroma of her hair and the faint perfume. Over the years, many women tried to get close to Theo in all kinds of ways, he knew very well what they were for.
Theo stood still there and let iris get close to him, proudly asking him, "do you have any idea of who I am."
"And what about you, even if you don't go online, can't you see the ads on the side of the road?"
Theo asked her back, at the same time he pulled open the curtains, pointing to the huge advertisement on the opposite building, Theo's face printed on it, confident and handsome, as if he was the king of the world.
Iris was momentarily speechless, it did seem a bit outrageous to not be able to see such a large advertisement, but it was true.
"I don't care who you are, sir," iris said absently, lifting her eyes to look at Theo in fascination, "I have a lot of big shots in my clientele, you're not special among them. "
Theo laughed, he'd never met anyone who didn't take his status seriously, 'Now you Iris, has become special to me. ' Theo solidified his previous judgment.
"Not special?" Theo pulled the curtains closed and pulled Iris towards him, he whispered in her ear, "I'm not special, Iris, I'm the only one, and I'm convince that I'm the only client you've ever slept with."
After saying this he let go of Iris and turned slightly and began to straighten his tie. Looking at Iris,who was blushing with his blunt words.
Iris rolled her eyes in her mind, 'We are now at 21st Century Okay?' does he have to hold onto said thing. Wasn't it just a one night stand?
"Sir, if you don't have anything else to say I think I should leave," iris looked at the clock on the wall, it was almost 7pm and she hadn't eaten yet, "I'm hungry and very tired, most importantly, I'm not in the mood. "
"I have an event in America next month, would you like to be my accompanying translator? " Theo rushed to state his intentions seeing as she was about to leave.
Iris frowned, what did he take her for?
"No…" Theo was a little flustered, he knew iris had misunderstood, "Just accompanying the event to translate, I didn't mean anything else."
Actually he did, he wanted to take this opportunity to cultivate a relationship with Iris, but he couldn't say it outright.
Iris wanted to get more involved in international affairs, but it was not in order to say yes outright, and she didn't want to go along with Theo's wishes for personal reasons.
"You can talk to Mr. Hadid directly about work matters," Iris said without giving a positive answer.
"Would you like to take this job?" Theo asked again, he wanted her to be willing to.
"No, I don't want to go on a business trip." She was blunt, picking up her coat and about to head out the door, "I'll go first, I'm really hungry."
Theo knew he couldn't force her to stay or say yes right at the moment, so he could only say, "I hope we will have the opportunity to work together again, and here's my number. "
Iris used her phone to input Theo's number, "This is my personal number," Theo said in a casual tone, "You can call me or text mr at any time if you want. And I will be glad if it is not for work stuff."

Iris left Theo office, with mixed feelings.
Anna saw Iris come back, didn't look good. "Did something happen?"
"Nothing", iris said as she gathered her things, "Let's go and have a feast, it's just that their boss expressed his wish to corporate next time."
"The boss? You mean it was Theo Kilias who asked you there ?" Anna widened her eyes and asked as she followed Iris' footsteps, "What do you say? What! "
"I told him to talk to Mr. Hadid directly, I don't want to interact a lot with the client. " Iris replied, walking towards the doort.
"I would have said yes if I were you ! And why it was you that he talked about this stuff instead of talking to our boss? Maybe he has a crush on you, does he? "Anna was speculating again.
Iris was a little bit embarrassed by her thoughts, and at the same time, she started to recall what did Theo Kilias' crush meant.
But she quickly kicked this thought out of her mind, he was handsome and rich enough, he should've been quite popular among women, so he couldn't be serious or meant it when he said "I have a crush on you."
After all, they were people from 2 different worlds, Theo was the super star and young talent, Iris was a young talent as well, but she was from a poor family in a small village.
There was no possibility between them.
Just as they were approaching the exit, a familiar figure came in through the front door.
"Iris?" The man was incredulous.
Iris stopped joking with Anna when she heard someone calling her, she looked up and gasped after she saw who that was.
It was Lucas!
Fatally, Iris encountered him here. Iris nervously clasped Anna's hand. She was frightened by the look of bitterness on Lucas's face when he was kicked out of her house. He was not a big-hearted man.
"I recognized you from the interpretation today. You did a great job like always, everyone was praising you for your brilliant interpretation," Sure enough, Lucas started attacking Iris and raised his voice, "I wonder if people would think differently about you if they knew you were a heartless and cruel woman?"
The crowd in the hall heard this noise and looked over.
Iris did not expect he would put her in an embarrassing position or slander her in public, she was stunned for a moment. Anna, on the other hand, moved quickly and immediately blocked Iris behind her.
"What's the matter with you? !" She shouted back at Lucas.
Lucas stepped forward, trying to grab Iris behind Anna, pushing her and saying, "Why don't you dare to admit what you've done? You've made me almost homeless!"
He roared as he pushed the two women to the ground. He held out his hands to Iris, who was on the ground as if he wanted to choke her.
"What are you doing here?" Theo suddenly appeared in front of Iris, grabbed Lucas' menacing hand and stared at him with a fierce expression.
"I...." Lucas' voice waned. He knew Theo was his boss and wanted to impress Theo, "Sir, it was her who was out of line..."
"That's it!" Theo interrupted Lucas impatiently. "What I saw is you beating up women in my company. Get out! I don't want to see you again!"
Lucas wanted to argue, but the guards on either side had already dragged him out of the room, he was waiting to stare at Iris with resentful eyes, but he didn't dare say a word until he was dragged out the door.
Theo reached out to Iris, who was on the ground. Iris didn't grab his hand but stood up with Anna.
"Are you all right?" Theo asked with a soft tone. Iris rubbed her arm, red-eyes, "I'm fine. Thank you for your help," she said to Theo, then walked towards the door withe the support of Anna.
"Shall I get a driver to drive you home?" Theo called out to her as she walked out.
Iris thanked him again, "Thank you so much. Don't bother." She said and walked out of the door without looking back.
Iris thought today's drama was over, what she didn't realize was that there were several pairs of eyes staring at them in the dark, and cameras in their hands also pressing the shutter at the same time.
