The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2245

I went back into the house after watching Delia leave.

Theo was sitting on the sofa, his posture domineering. He glanced at me sideways. "I thought you would have left too, Madam."

His tone was clearly sour.

I laughed. "President Grant, do you get jealous over women too?"

I sat next to him, and his eyes lingered on me, burning.

Being stared at started feeling weird, so I coughed a few times. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I’m learning from you."

"Learning from me?"

Theo nodded. "That's how you looked at her at dinner just now."

I rolled my eyes, looking confused. "Really?"

"It's absolutely true. I can already imagine the look in your eyes when she was filming." Theo took a magazine and flipped through it. His words were casual, but his expression was one of displeasure.

No wonder Sissi said those things to me this afternoon.

It seemed that she had misunderstood. Fortunately, I had cleared the air with her.

"It seems that I have to control myself," I rubbed my chin and murmured.

The man beside me was flipping through the magazine, but his attention was obviously not on it. "She’s just someone who looks like Cecilia. Why should you be excited, Madam?" he said.

I took his magazine and put it aside. "If your good friend died of illness and you thought you would never see him again, won’t you be happy when one day, someone who looks exactly like him appears in front of you all of a sudden? Haven’t you ever experienced the feeling of regaining something you lost?”

His serious gaze was directed toward me. "When you came back to me, that's how I felt at that time."

His spontaneous declaration of love stunned me for a moment. I smiled when I realized. "You’re the one pushing all the blame on me now.”

"I just want to remind you to be more natural. Otherwise, you might cause her trouble.”

"Alright, alright. I get it, President Grant. By the way, it’s Sunday tomorrow. You’re not going to the company tomorrow, right?”

"What's up?"

I shook my head and said, "It's nothing. I just thought you could watch more of Delia's filming. She’s really serious. Maybe that’ll change your opinion of her."

"We’ll see."

The next day.

They started work late today, and I forced Theo to watch them film below.

"See that? This is Delia's major. She hasn't officially participated in any TV shows yet, but she’s a natural when it comes to acting. I think she must have put a lot of effort."

Theo listened to what I said and turned to look at me. "You’re looking at her with Cecilia in mind. Of course, you’d think she’s good at everything."

I did not agree with this. "I'm saying this from an audience's point of view. Tell me, then. What's wrong with her?"

"Really?" He raised his eyebrows.

I pursed my lips and lowered my head. "You know what, forget it."

Theo had also been involved in film and television, and his requirements in this area were even stricter. No matter how good one’s acting skills were, he could always pick out some flaws, let alone a newcomer like Delia.

"But as you said, she is very serious about this."

It was rare for him to utter words of appreciation, so I looked at him. "It's good that you know."

I just wanted Theo to have a better impression of Delia and not be suspicious of her all the time.

"Munchkin will be coming back today, and he has two days off. Shall we pick him up later?"

"Okay." Theo agreed.

The next scene required housekeepers. Caroline and the others were called to the scene. They looked very excited to be on camera for the first time.

"Look, them filming here is a pretty good thing. Look at how happy Caroline and the others are."

I turned to look at the expression on Theo's face. It had eased a lot, and I was relieved.
