The Woman From Hell

I finally agreed to his request after his incessant pestering.

It was late by the time I started the journey back home.

The lights in the house were still on.

Theo was on the sofa and looking at the computer when I got home.

"Why did you come back so late?" Theo asked after looking at the time on his watch and then at me.

I organized my thoughts and replied, "I had something to do. I got delayed, so I had dinner outside."

I could not let Theo know what happened at Marius' place.

"Huh? What's the matter? Did something go wrong with the company again? Just tell me if you need my help." Theo got up and came toward me to take my bag off me with an expression of care.

"Oh no, everything is fine with the company. It's Marius. He was fighting with some people on the road. I saved him and called the police. That's why I've been busy until now!"

I did not say anything about going to Marius' house. I knew Theo would be a little worried even if he did not mind Marius.

I did not want something like this to cause a rift in their relationship.

"Huh? You're not injured, are you?" Theo checked to see if I was injured with a look of concern after hearing my story. "Yeah, I'm fine!"

My heart was warm at Theo's concern.

Theo took my hand. He noticed the bandage and how my skin was a little scratched up.

"Look! And you said you were okay. Next time you encounter such a situation, don't just casually stride up to help. I'm not telling you not to help, but you must do so under the premise that you're safe. Also, call me as soon as possible regardless of what I'm doing!" Theo said in a domineering

manner.

Hearing this, my heart warmed, and I smiled.

"I'll go get some ointment and re-bandage it for you!" Theo was going to go get the first aid kit.

"I'm really okay. It's been dealt with. This small injury is nothing. Am I so fragile?" I said with a relaxed expression while waving my hands again and again.

Hearing me insist that I was fine, Theo said nothing more.

"Alright, go upstairs and rest."

"Okay."

I had a good night's sleep.

The next morning, Theo and I had breakfast together.

"How are you? Does the injury on your hand still hurt? If it still hurts, go to the clinic and get it looked at in the afternoon." Theo was concerned about my injury from last night while we were eating breakfast.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt anymore. I'm okay!” I shook my head, expressing that I was fine.

Theo suddenly received a call. He left in a hurry after hanging up the call.

It was probably something to do with the company. I did not think too much about it. I still had to choose the products for my own company after breakfast.

My phone rang!

"Hello, Shannon!" I answered the phone, and it was Shannon.

"Are you done? I'm at Regal Villa. Let's go when you're done!" Shannon's voice sounded from the phone.

"Okay! I'll come out right away!" I quickly finished my food and went out the door.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

We were heading over to Hyperspace to select our products today.

We soon arrived at Hyperspace. Mr. Faust was not here today, so the assistant led us. We simply started going through the items and selecting them.

"I think these are all good! They seem to have put their hearts into it!"

Shannon was quite satisfied with the materials and designs the assistant provided.

"Yeah! But we can't have all of them. We have to choose just a few." I looked at Hyperspace's products. There were indeed many of them that were quite good. They could be considered excellent products.

"The general manager is not here today. President Lane and President Collins, you can just let me know when you're done making your. selection. We'll then send the products to your company!" the assistant followed up.

I nodded. "Alright, thank you for your help."
