The Woman From Hell



After I sent Nina back to her apartment, I drove back to the company.

The moment I stepped through the company doors, I heard a few employees whispering to each other at the front desk.

"The man in the office is Theo Grant, President Lane's husband. He's so handsome. He really lives up to his reputation."

"That's right, the legendary Theo Grant. This is the first time I've seen him in real life."

When did he become a legendary figure? Judging by the look of that little fan girl, it seemed that his charm was no lesser than those handsome artists nowadays.

"Me too. President Lane is also very beautiful. They really make such a glamorous couple."

I deliberately made some noise before walking in to not make them feel embarrassed. They stopped talking and concentrated on their work when they saw me.

I walked passed them and entered the office. Shannon had gone out, so Theo was the only one in the office.

He was sitting on the sofa and holding a magazine in his hand while flipping through it quietly. There was an aristocratic demeanor in his gestures. Even if it was just an inconspicuous movement, he looked so elegant and gentlemanly. This man truly had market competitiveness.

I coughed lightly, and Theo noticed me. He put down the magazine and walked toward me. "You're back, President Lane."

"I'm back." I sat in my seat and motioned for him to sit opposite me, "Tell me, what is it about?"

He raised a brow at me. After straightening his suit, he said leisurely, "I don't have much time to handle the holiday villa project, so I plan to find someone else to follow up on it. Hence, I came to discuss this with you."

"Discuss with me why? You can decide this kind of thing." I did not know why he had specially made a trip for this. I thought it was some bug matter. "This is something you promised Frank. I still need you to go through it again. How are you going to explain to him otherwise if something were to go wrong?"

His words were not without reason. I

nodded. My gaze fell on him, and pursed my lips, smiling. "I suppose you

already chose someone since you said all this, haven't you, President Grant?"

Theo did not deny it. "Yes, my childhood friend of mine, but he is of mixed race.. His parents divorced

when he was ten before he went et

abroad with his mother. He rarely comes back. I heard that he was coming back to Hatton this time. I think he is very suitable.

"Mixed blood. Must be a beautiful woman."

"He's a man."

"Oh~ a handsome mixed-race guy. That's fine. You must have chosen someone talented, President Grant."

Honestly, I was looking forward to seeing him, a mixed-race person. "Hey, I've never heard you mention this person."Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

He folded his arms around his chest and looked at me, his back ramrod straight. "Considering your expectant expression, President Lane, do you really want to see him?"

The corners of my mouth lifted unconsciously. I blinked at him and smiled lightly. "Of course. I'm more interested in what he looks like. He must be a handsome guy."

"President Lane, please consider that you are already married before making such an expression of infatuation." Theo's tone was even, but I could hear his displeasure.

I suddenly thought about how cute

Theo was when he was jealous. My smile deepened. "No matter how handsome the other is, you will always be number one in my heart, President Grant. Is this alright?"

"Yes, go home early this evening. I'll cook dinner."

What occasion did we have today that he would make such a sacrifice?

I was curious and looked forward to it. "You rarely cook, President Grant. Naturally, I will join you. See you tonight."

"Alright." Theo put his hands in his pockets. Then, he got up and left.

I also devoted myself to my work after I watched him leave.
