The Woman From Hell

His handsome eyes darkened slightly. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Is this what you call fine?" There was anger in his tone.

"I'm really fine. It doesn't hurt at all." I was being stubborn again. I curled my lips and spoke.

He did not say anything. He took the cotton swab and dabbed it on the wounds. He was no longer as gentle a s before and seemed to deliberately exert more force.

It was so painful that I let out a gasp and cried out loud. "Theo Grant! Are you doing it on purpose?"

"Didn't you say that it doesn’t hurt at all?" There was a hint of teasing in his voice. He did not sound angry but his tone was not soft either.

However, I was enraged. "You..." I was so furious that I could not say anything.

He chuckled. Then, he treated my wounds gently just like how he did before. He even blew on them to relieve the pain.

I pursed my lips and said nothing until he was done dressing the wounds.

He put the first aid kit back, carried me back to his office, and put me on the sofa.

I stood up. "I'm going back to work."

He looked up and glanced at me. He pointed at the breakfast on the table, saying without any expression, "Finish all of them."

I was speechless. Keith bought these for him. Besides, I had almost finished eating my oatmeal and buns. I looked at him, curled my lips, and said, "I already ate some just now. I'm not a pig. How am I supposed to finish all of this?"

"You'll have to eat even if you can’t." His voice was cold. It seemed he would not take no for an answer.

"Theo, I can’t eat anymore. And I have a lot of work to d o today. I have to go downstairs. Otherwise, Heidi won't be able to handle so much work." If taking on a tough approach did not work, then I would try being soft. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

He stared at me for a moment. Then, he walked to the table, took out his phone, and made a phone call.

After a while, Heidi was seen carrying a stack of documents over.

"Wanda, these are the documents for Bluewind Tech and AI-Link Technologies. Please take a look at them. And this is the stack of documents that you need to sign. You'll have to look at these too. I’ll come to get them later.”

Heidi put the documents down and shot me a curious look. The glimmer in her eyes was unusual.

I knew she wanted to figure out my relationship with Theo. I pretended that I did not notice her signal. I packed the various kinds of pastries and food into a bag before saying to her, "You haven’t eaten breakfast, right? I bought breakfast for you. You're welcome."

"Wanda, I've already eaten.” Heidi looked at me, puzzled.

"Haha, don’t tell lies, you little missy. I know you don’t eat breakfast. It’s bad for your health if you don’t eat breakfast. Hurry up and take it. Aren't you busy? Off you go."

As I talked, I pushed her out of the door. Then, I said to her in a soft voice, "Help me. Just take them all."

Heidi understood what I meant immediately. She shot a glance at Theo and carried the paper bag filled with food, slipping away.

I did not have to eat all that food now. I let out a sigh o f relief. I turned my head and realized Theo was looking at me with his deep gaze. I could feel chills creeping all over my body.

I felt a little guilty and smiled awkwardly, saying, " Heh, that woman never eats her breakfast. Getting sick will affect her productivity at work."

"What will I eat, then?" His facial expression was cold, and he spoke faintly.

"Oh right, you haven't eaten yet." I was in a hurry just now and forgot that he had not eaten yet.

He raised his eyebrows and stared at me with an expression that seemed to say, 'Now you know.’

"What should I do? Why don't you take a few bites of these?” I pointed at the leftovers from my bowl of oatmeal and bun on the table.

I was just saying that as I knew he had mysophobia. H e would not even touch other people’s things, not to mention the leftovers that I had eaten.

He did not answer. Instead, he picked up the bowl of oatmeal that had already cooled down. He placed his lips exactly on the lipstick stain where I left it on the bowl and began to drink the oatmeal. His actions were natural. It did not seem like he was someone suffering from some serious mysophobia.

I...

Suddenly, there was a strange feeling rising in my heart. I could feel my face burning.

"What are you thinking?" He saw me acting weird and asked.

"Nothing." I lowered my head and looked at the documents.

"How many years has Heidi been working with you?" He was chewing the cold bun when he suddenly spoke. There was an unrecognizable look in his eyes.

"It's been three years. Why?" I was slightly confused. Why was he suddenly asking about Heidi all of a sudden?

"Does she follow you during outdoor shoots?" He did not answer and asked another question. His expression was a little somber.

"No. What's wrong?" I was even more confused. Theo was not a busybody, and he had never asked about the people close to me. Something must be wrong if he was asking about this all of a sudden.

"Kiss me and I'll tell you." There was a gleam in his eyes, and he gave me a smirk while looking at me.
