The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 213

It rang twice before he answered. "Did you just wake u p? It’s already noon." His voice was low and deep.

I was speechless. It was almost 12, so how could I be asleep at this hour? I said to him, "I'm not that lazy. I woke up a long time ago."

"You're obviously a little lazy pig who only knows how to sleep all day." He chuckled. "Did you have breakfast?"

"Yeah, I did. I'm downstairs now. I brought you lunch and some fruits. Could you come down and help me bring them up?"

"You came to the office?"

"Yeah. Cecilia sent over a lot of fruits. They’ll go bad if not eaten, so I brought them here to the office to share with everyone."

He said, "Stay there and don't move. Wait for me."

He hung up as soon as he finished talking. It seemed like he might be busy now. I sat quietly in the car waiting for him.

After just a moment, Keith ran to the front of my car while panting. He said with heavy breaths, "Madam, President Grant is still in a meeting. He didn’t want to let you wait for too long, so he sent me to bring you u

p"

After leaving the company, Keith had changed his way of addressing me and now called me 'Madam'. I nodded and got out of the car to open the trunk. Keith was a little stunned when he saw the few containers o f fruits.

"My friend from the old house brought them over, they're really fresh. Share them with everyone later." I then carried the lunchbox and a container of fruits before entering the office.

It had been a while since I stepped foot in the office, but I did not feel a sense of unfamiliarity there. I met a few close acquaintances on the way up and everyone greeted me as usual.

I went to my previous department and said hello to everyone there as Keith gave out some fruits.

Before I left, I bumped into Nadia. She was wearing a fiery red dress today and it caught my eye even from a distance. She looked sexy and mature.

She was slightly taken aback when she saw me and immediately smiled faintly, saying, "Hello, Miss Lane! Are you here to see President Grant?"

I suppressed the frustration in my heart and smiled at her. "I'll head up first. Wouldn't want to distract you from work."

When I came to the top floor, I went into Mason's office thinking that Theo was still in a meeting.

I knocked on the door several times, but no one answered. When I was about to leave, the door to the room suddenly opened. Mason poked his head out from inside.

I jumped as I was taken aback. I checked again to make sure and realized that this man with messy hair, a face full of stubble, and panda eyes turned out t o be Mason.

He was completely different from his usual clean, fair, and noble self.

"What’s up?" he spoke. His voice sounded hoarse. One could easily tell that he had not spoken to anyone for a long time.

I looked at him and asked cautiously, "Are you brokenhearted or just broke?"
