The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1165

I did not know what to say for a moment. After thinking about it, I said, "Both, I guess. Don't worry about the incident with the research institute. We’ll find a good solution for it.”

Lally sighed softly. "I don't know how to thank you, Wanda.”

I smiled slightly. "Don't thank me. I can't pay that much money either. Humans will eventually have to submit to life.”

A black shadow bore down on me and I hung up the phone.

I looked up and saw Theo staring at me with a pair of pitch-black eyes. He asked m e with a faint smile, "So, you're submitting t o life and selling yourself to me?'

I nodded. "That’s right. I have to search for more narrow-minded excuses like that so I'll be less dignified when we fight again in the future."

After all, Theo did not force me into making this decision.

Theo suddenly laughed. He reached out to hold me but I dodged him.

I looked at him with a wary face. "Mr.

Grant, we’re way past working hours now. I need to go to work now. You’re the boss, so no one cares if you skip work. But that’s not how it is for me. I’m just a puny employee, and my salary will be deducted i f I skip work."

Theo raised his eyebrows and grabbed my wrist, pulling me over to peck me on the lips. "It’s okay. I’ll make up for your salary

this month, so why don't you stay by my side and accompany me?"

I was caught between laughter and tears. It was true that men were still children at heart even at the age of 80.

After pushing Theo's head away, I declined mercilessly. "Dream on."

When I came out of Theo's lounge, it was already noon. Hence, we went straight to the canteen.

It was lunchtime, so everyone would come here to eat except for those who had not finished their work.

When Lally saw Theo and me walking into the canteen together, there was suddenly a n ambiguous look in her eyes.

I took a deep breath. "Let me leave a few marks on your neck and you tell me if it's great."

Theo’s gaze dulled. "There may not be enough time for you to leave one after lunch. Why don't we wait until tonight? You can leave however many and wherever you want."

I was no match for him in acting like a rascal.

Not wanting to entertain him, I found a seat and waited for the staff to send the lunch box over.

Elena's appearance seemed planned. As soon as the staff brought the lunch box, she stood on one side clad in a black dress paired with black heels. It made her seem really fair and particularly eye-catching.

She looked at Theo and said with a smile," What a coincidence, Mr. Grant.”

When Theo was around, she would treat m e as though I was not there.

Theo nodded. Then, as though deliberately, he said, "You must be exhausted from last night. Eat more to replenish your energy."
