The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2017

I halted mid-rummage and listened to the voices outside.

"President Grant."

When I heard the guard's voice, I was startled. Why was Theo here?

"Who's in there?"

"It's Miss Wanda Lane."

"With whose permission?"

"President Reed’s. Miss Lane has a recording from President Reed."

I could hear the coldness in Theo's words from this stand-off. Was he actually going to come in?

I was a little flustered. How was I going to answer him if he were to come in and ask what I was doing here?

Theo's voice sounded outside the door this moment, "I'll go in and have a look."

Gosh, he really was coming in.

I reached out my hands to straighten my clothes and hair. Just as I was about to walk out, Theo came in, and I was instantly face-to-face with him.

Embarrassed, I let out a smile. "Uh, um, you..."

Theo's expression changed slightly. He stared at me. "Why did you come here, Miss Lane?"

Miss Lane?

I was stunned. What a distant way to address me.

I looked at him, lips pursed slightly before I lowered my head. "I suddenly thought of a female artist I like very much. I thought she was signed under Nectarine Entertainment, so I came to take a look."

"Oh, is that so?" Theo approached me, his eyes seemed to be looking through me.

The moment I met his eyes, my heart skipped a beat.

I hurriedly looked away, trying to calm myself down. "Yeah, it’s like that. Why did you come to Nectarine Entertainment, though, President Grant?"

"I don't know. I just thought I should come today, so I came." Theo suddenly lowered his voice.

Was he implying something?

"What are they?"

"Either it has been a long time and the name has been deregistered, or this person is very important. If that’s the case, the information is definitely being kept in a safe and private place," he said.

I wanted to laugh a little at that, so I shrugged. "Doesn’t that just mean that you’re watching over it?"

He shook his head. "Unfortunately, I don’t remember, so I can't help you."

"No worries. There’s no need for you to help me, President Grant."

"But I want to help you."

The man's tone suddenly sank, and it abruptly warmed my heart.

What did he mean by that?

"You..." I tilted my head, not understanding what he was saying. "Why did you say that, President Grant?"

Theo approached me slowly. "I keep thinking the scent on you smells very familiar..."

It was at this time that someone who should not have appeared, appeared...
