The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1696

I raised my eyebrows in triumph, not caring about what she said. As long as my purpose was achieved, it was good.

Shopping was the best cure for a woman's emotions. No matter what my purpose was, Cindy had indeed gotten a little upset over the incident. I did not want her to be so tired either.

She had been working very hard recently. Most of her time must have been devoted to work, so she probably had not shopped properly in a long while. That was why I invited her with such a degree of persuasion.

"Alas, no matter what, your taste has always been more unique than mine. I'm in a special situation now. I definitely need

you to help me pick a good-looking dress."

"Ms. Lane, you don't need to butter up to me, do you?" She stood coldly at the office door, not taking a step forward.

It took me a while to realize that she was ready to go and I had not picked up my bag yet.

We walked to the office door and were about to go out to the elevator when I saw Zedd's figure in the corner.

Why had he not left yet?

He was surprised to see us both and walked straight toward us. "Where are you two going?"

"Is this any of your business?"

Cindy spoke before me, her tone of voice showing no warmth.

"Wanda, which fire pit are you pushing her into again? Anyway, she's willing to work for your company now. Aren't you satisfied enough?"

I did not know why he was so triggered.

"She’s already shown some repentance. Do you still have to insult her like this?"

"Mr. Nichols, I don't need you to pay attention to my private affairs."

Cindy’s emotions were once again roused up.

I waved my hand for her to calm down first, and I stepped forward to say, "Mr. Nicholas, may I ask from what standpoint are you saying such things to me?"

"What you do with her is none of my business."

The elevator arrived, and Cindy impatiently urged me. "Weren't you in a hurry just now? Why are you dawdling now?"

She said she took a big step into the elevator.

"I forgot my phone in the office, wait for me downstairs. I'll be back soon."

I made an excuse and waited for the elevator doors to slowly close. Then, I looked back at the angry Zedd.

He probably understood what I meant just now. That was why he did not follow Cindy down.

Time was running out, so I went straight to the point. "As you can tell, Cindy is very angry now."

"You don’t need to remind me of that!"
