Ever since that day, the relationship between Thea Lynch and Ian Preston seemed to have gotten closer.
Whenever they had time, the two would have dinner together after work.
The atmosphere between them felt different, and even when they occasionally ate at home together, the elders thought something was amiss.
But no one dared to ask.
Everyone tacitly pretended they didn't know anything, acting as if they hadn't noticed a thing.
Until the end of the year, Thea Lynch gradually got busier, working overtime almost every day, while Ian Preston was on business trips, almost not being in Coronet for the entire January.
Due to the time difference, their chances to talk on the phone daily were limited.
Just after lunch break ended, Thea Lynch rubbed her eyes, planning to head to the lab.
Diana Dawson knocked on the office door, then peeked her head in from outside: "Foreman Lynch, the vice president notified that there will be a meeting at three in the second conference room."
