The Woman From Hell



The partnership between Green Orange and Hyperspace had stabilized. I also had more time now.

Theo had been behaving very mysteriously lately, always making calls behind my back and hanging up in a panic when he saw me.

This made me very uneasy and flustered. Finally freeing up some time, I pretended to make a visit to Theo's company today. The front desk staff knew me, so I was able to head up easily.

Instead of going to Theo's office, I went to the lounge.

This was where employees gossiped the most in every company. Many employees came here to take a break when they were tired. One could gain a lot of information from hearing them char.

I deliberately found a corner and poured myself a cup of hot water.

Sure enough, there were a bunch of employees walking around.

I listened to them discuss the company's recent situation, but it was all useless information.

I had no choice but to give up on this method.

I could only start with Keith now. As Theo's personal assistant, he must know more than others.

I went looking for Keith, and he was a little surprised to see me. "Madam, why are you here? President Grant is in his office. Let me take you in." "No need, I'm here for you," I smiled and said.

He seemed a little surprised but did not say anything. "What could you want from me?"Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

This was Theo's company, after all. It would not be good for people to see me and his assistant together. However, I thought about how going back to the lounge would be even worse, so I could only stay here.

"I just want to ask you if President Grant has encountered any difficulties recently?"

Keith frowned slightly. Theo did not seem to have encountered any problems.

However, since I had asked this, he could not answer directly. He instead asked, "Madam, you asked me this before. Did President Grant say something to you?"

I looked at his puzzled expression, the uncertainty growing in my heart. I pretended to be calm. "No, I just think he's been acting strange recently, so I came to ask you."

"Madam, how can I know something

that you don't even know?" og

looked a little troubled, and I embarrassedly.

"How is the company doing?"

"What do you mean?"

"Did something go wrong? Or did something happen?"

Keith's probing gaze landed on me. I was a

die uncomfortable but tried

not t to look guilty and met his gaze directly.

"As far as I know, no. Everything is going well. There are just a few little things that are taking a while."

I was silent at that. Something that could be settled within two hours was not even considered an issue.

Whatever Theo was hiding from me was definitely not simple.

I looked at Keith and sensed that he really was in the dark about this. This made me even more curious and uneasy. If it was something that even he did not know, then it was definitely not about work.

That proved that Theo was lying.

If it was a private matter, why would he not want me to know anything?

"You can go back to work."

Keith nodded and left.

Uncertainty was ever-increasing in my heart, making me feel like I should just talk to him.

I deliberately went home early that evening. Since I decided to have a good talk with him, I had to be prepared.

"Caroline, leave dinner to me tonight. You can go back and rest first."

Caroline was a little confused, but seeing me smile, she thanked me and left without asking further questions.

I prepared a table full of dishes on my own, arranged them, and awaited his return.

I wanted the two of us to have an open and honest conversation.
