The Woman From Hell

"Come over here." Theo's expression was back to usual. He comfortably leaned on the chair and waved a t me.

I walked toward him. He pulled me to sit on his lap, then tidied the hair beside my ear. He pressed his face on the back of my neck and said in a lazy tone, "What d o you want to eat? I'll ask Keith to buy it."

I lifted my head and looked at the time. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. I did not think that I would sleep for such a long time. That was why my head felt heavy. I said, "I slept too long. I don't feel like eating." Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He pulled out a drawer and took a bunch of snacks out of it. "Well, then you can have some snacks first. We’ll have dinner at night.”

I never knew that a man like him would prepare snacks for me, and they were the snacks that women loved.

"I don’t like these. These are all for you," he said when he saw my confused expression. His tone was slightly stiff.

I burst out laughing. I chose a packet of plums, opened it, and ate one. Then, I asked, "Where are we having

dinner?" I would not want to go somewhere crowded.

He looked at me while I was eating the plums. Looking at his chiseled features, there seemed to be a hint of a smile on his handsome face. He answered instantly, "President Sherman and his wife invited us for dinner. I'll bring you to have a good meal."

I knew President Sherman. Theo and Mason were engaged in pharmaceutical development these few years. They were working with him. Besides, his hospital was near the villa too. I was sent there a few times after getting into accidents.

If word got out that the president of Grand Corporation had to do this for a good meal, I wondered if the citizens of Salt City would drop their jaws.

"Alright, I'll get back to work first." I slept the whole day. It was the first time I was slacking off, and I felt bad about it.

He nodded his head. "I'll pick you up when it’s time to get off work."

I went back to my office. Heidi was sitting there staring into space, and she looked like she had something on her mind. She forced out a smile when she saw me. "Wanda.”

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?" I could not help but find it odd as she was fine this morning.

"N-Nothing.” Heidi quickly shook her head and said,"

President Grant delayed the launching of the new product.” "Delayed? What's wrong?" Theo did not mention this t o me.

"President Grant said someone is behind the matter involving Xander. He requested to investigate the matter thoroughly to prevent it from affecting the launching of the new product." For some inexplicable reason, I could sense that Heidi was hesitating and she seemed to be behaving abnormally.

"Theo said to investigate it thoroughly?" So much time had passed, so why was he suddenly asking for an investigation?

"Yes. He wants to know who took those photos and who bought the top trending searches."

Could it be that Theo and Zedd were fighting over this earlier?

"Inform all relevant personnel about the delay." Since Theo said it would be delayed, he probably had something else on his mind. It was just that delaying the launching of the new product would affect the sales volume and our reputation.

"And how’s it going with setting up an appointment with the people in charge of Bluewind and AI- Link?"

"AI-Link has no problem with it. You can arrange the time as you see fit. But we haven't gotten a response from Bluewind."

I was startled. I certainly did not expect that. I lifted m y head and asked, "Is there any problem?” "I mentioned it to you last time. There’s another tech company interested in acquiring their company too. I heard that they’ve been in close contact."

"Try to contact them again. Make sure that I can meet with the person in charge as soon as possible." After reading up on them for such a long time, I knew I had t o convince Bluewind to join Grant Corporation. I could not let my effort be wasted.

Heidi answered and went out.

I took Bluewind's information out and continued to read. I had to find out their weakness to convince them. I needed a good reason to persuade them.

I was too focused and did not realize that someone had pushed the door open and entered.

Suddenly, the information that I was holding in my hands was snatched away. I lifted my head and saw Theo standing in front of me. His figure was slender and straight. He looked like a small

mountain.

"You gave me a shock." I reached out to massage my sore shoulders.

"Our company never exploits our employees. Why are you working so hard? Your eyes were almost falling out of your sockets." He frowned and came over to massage my shoulders.

I rolled my eyes and said, "You’re having double standards here. If I slack off and don't manage to

finish my work, you'll ask me to compensate for your loss."

"It depends on the situation." His voice was deep, but there was a hint of a smile in his dark eyes.

"Urgh!" I ignored him and stood up to pack my stuff, getting ready to leave.

Theo went to the underground car park to get the car. I t was a traumatic place for me, so I stood at the entrance to wait for him.

It was time to get off work, so many employees were leaving the company. Then, I spotted Heidi in the crowd. She had changed her clothes and was wearing a beautiful dress now. She got into a BMW.
