The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2343



We finished our meal quickly. After I sent her off to her car, I went back to the company.

I could not help finding it really strange when I thought of her appearance after returning.

Both of us had eaten in silence after that. Although I did not say anything anymore, I still noticed her retching from time to time.

The more I thought about it, the weirder it was. I sensed that she was hiding something from me. I told Shannon about it since I wanted to get her perspective on this.

"Did she do anything to disappoint you?"

I froze for a moment at that question before shaking my head dully. "No, I haven't seen her for several months. It was a coincidence that I met her today."

Shannon did not take that seriously. She said while sorting out her work in hand, "Well then, it might just be her own matters. Perhaps she doesn't want you to worry.

"Besides, who doesn't have a little secret? Are you going to force her to reveal it?"

I thought that what she said was reasonable, but thinking how strange Delia had been acting, I kept thinking that she was hiding something important.

"But she..." I hesitated.

Shannon sighed a little helplessly when she saw me like this. "Don't think too much."

Was I thinking too much, or did something really happen?

I thought about it a little bit but could not come up with anything.

There was no need for me to know if the other person was not going to say it. Everyone had their own secrets or things they did not want others to know, after all.

I no longer felt conflicted after I thought about this and continued to devote myself to work.

When I went home at night, I did not see Theo in the living room.

After hanging up my handbag and taking a few steps in, I heard his voice from the balcony.

I did not know who Theo was talking to on the phone. His figure looked a little melancholic, and his brows were furrowed.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

I had just wanted to go over when he saw my figure and panicked. After saying a few more things, he hung up the phone in a hurry.

There was some distance between us, so I did not hear what he said at all.

"Who were you on the phone with?" I looked at the hand that he was hiding behind him, feeling an inexplicable strangeness.

"Keith. I was discussing some work matters with him." He was obviously lying. Why would he panic if he was talking to Keith?

I did not know what was going on

I swallowed those words back down, however.

"Can't you guys meet at the company? Why did you need to make a special call?" I clearly saw a trace of panic flashing across his face. I was even more sure then that he was lying. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

"Ah, there were some things that I didn't have the time to relay to him at the company."

I looked at his nervous face and forced a smile out of me. "How capitalistic of you, working your employees even after work hours."

Theo's expression improved leaps and bounds when he heard me tease him. He joked back, "He should be used to it after so many years."

I thought about how Keith would

have hurled blood out of anger if he heard what Theo said. Making up an excuse, Kwent to the study. I was afraid that I would not be able to stop myself from interrogating him the more I spent time with him. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Sitting on the chair, I recalled Theo's dodgy behavior just now. It was just like how Delia was today. Both of them were hiding something from me.

I felt a little uneasy. The more things were the way they were, the more I wanted to know just what was happening with Theo.
