The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2356



Fast forward to Monday night.

Since the ceremony was on Wednesday, I planned to head over to Salt City by Tuesday.

Theo came in and bumped into me when I was packing my luggage that night. He took a look and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Oh, my university chancellor called. There's a banquet on Wednesday night, and they want me to go back for the opening ceremony. I agreed and plan to leave tomorrow," I responded to him.

Hearing this, Theo's handsome features furrowed. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Seeing his tight expression, I lowered my head and smirked slightly. "It's just a small matter. I thought you were busy with work recently, so I didn't tell you. I'll be back in two days. Don't worry."

"Are you going alone?"

"Yes. Would you be free to accompany me otherwise, President Grant?" I simply asked back expectantly, eager to hear Theo answer. However, my words stumped him.

He was frozen for a moment, and there was hesitation in his eyes.

A long time passed before I heard his voice. "There are a lot of things going on at the company recently, so I can't step away. Let me get Keith to accompany you so you have someone to take care of you."

"No, I can take care of myself. It's only two days. It'll be over soon." Although it was the expected answer, I was still a little disappointed. Concealing my loneliness, I continued packing my things.

Lying on the bed at night, the man beside me did not move at all.

Suddenly, a voice registered itself in my ears. "Are you asleep?"

Theo's mellow voice drifted over across the pillow. It was very maic.

"Not yet. What's the matter?" I asked lightly, but I was already almost asleep.

"It feels weird lately."

"What does?"NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

He turned sideways, and his breath swept across my face. "It seems that our relationship isn't as good as before."

Theo Grant, you were the one who put up a distance from me first.

I muttered internally but did not dare to say it to his face. I just replied, "Really? I don't think so."

"Is nothing truly wrong?" he asked again.

Taking a deep breath, I swallowed. "What about you? Is there something you're not telling me?"

This question resulted in a long silence again.

I closed my eyes and turned sideways. "It's late. Sleep."

"Okay, good night."

"Good night."

I could not fall asleep after saying all that anyway. The melancholy

Somehow, I made it through to dawn.

I felt Theo get up, but I did not want to open my eyes even though I was awake.

They stayed closed until the sun dazzled me.

When I got up, my head was a little heavy, probably because I did not sleep well last night.

Arriving at the company with a suitcase, Shannon looked at me. "Are you planning to leave after work?"

"Yes," I replied without hesitation.

"Who said I'm running away?" I rolled my eyes, not admitting it.

She smiled naturally. "Whatever you say."

"Okay, you have to do what I told you. Otherwise, you have to come back and watch over the company."

"I know, Boss. I'll definitely follow your orders." Shannon gave me a military salute.

I was amused. We went back to our respective seats and worked.

I ate some bread in the waiting room.

There was still plenty of time, and I would be able to finish the bread in time.

I heard a familiar voice at that moment. "Hey, truly now?"

I looked up and met the owner of the voice. "Professor Logan?"
