The Woman From Hell

After selecting the products, Marius came to me and Shannon.

"How's it going? I bet you guys are hungry after going through all the products!" Marius said as he came over.

"We're done with our selection. What advice do you have, Big Boss Marius?" Shannon joked.

This was how they had always talked to each other, and I was used to it.

Marius did not mind Shannon's teasing. "Since you guys are done with your selection, let me treat you two to a meal!"

"Treat us to a meal? I think you're just making a fool of yourself. You feel embarrassed to invite Wanda out, and that's why you're deliberately involving me!" Shannon said with a smile.

"Oh, I'd treat any beautiful woman. So, are you guys up for it or not? I've already booked the place. We just need to go there."

Marius raised a brow at Shannon. "How about it, beautiful lady? Will you entertain me?"

Shannon nodded and turned to look at me.

She obviously had no qualms.

I smiled at Marius. "Okay, let's go."

I teased Shannon while we made our way over. "He's a flamboyant guy. He likes all the cute girls. He never takes breaks."

"Really now?" Shannon looked at Marius with a smile on her face.

"All lies. Sis Wan, don't ruin my reputation." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Marius' tone.

I slowly smiled. "It's the truth!"

Marius chose a relatively good Western restaurant.

"By the way, Sis Wan, let me know if you're free in the coming days. My mother wants to see you again, so let me know when you're free to come to my house for dinner." Marius changed the subject.

"What? Did I hear you right? You went to his house? What I'm hearing from Marius is that something is going on between you two. What the hell?" Shannon looked at us with surprise.

"Oh, hold your horses now. I just

bumped into his mother when I was sending him back. He begged me to pretend to be his girlfriend to deal with his mother!" I explained "That's all, don't overthink."

I was indifferent because I was clear about where I stood. He and I were just friends. We were just putting on a show.

What was more, I was forced into this.

Shannon said nothing after she heard my explanation. She just nodded vigorously at Marius and gave him a thumbs-up. "How amazing you are to get a married woman to be your girlfriend! You have my praise!"

Marius smiled. "Oh, it was an urgent situation. Besides, my mother likes all beautiful women. If you were there, I'd definitely pull you in too!" Shannon shook her head and said nothing© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

This meal was quite enjoyable.

Shannon came back with me after lunch.

"Does Theo know about what Marius mentioned just now?" Shannon asked me in the car.

I shook my head. "I decided when I went back yesterday that the less trouble the better. I wouldn't be able to explain it properly either. Theo might also feel bad about it, so decided not to tell him!" I explained.

"Well, that makes sense. I agree with your approach, but it's better if you resolve this matter as soon as possible. It'll be bad if Theo finds out," Shannon expressed.

She had a point.

"I've thought about this too, but the two of them won't meet, so what we're worried about probably won't happen. Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

I smiled at her. "I told Marius this too. It'll only be three months. At most, I'll avoid him."

"Okay, okay. Let's go back to the company and get back to work."
