The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2197

In the office.

I was thinking about what Harriet said. It was obviously nothing, but why did she say that?

Seeing the dark clouds on my face, Shannon came over and snapped me out of it. "What are you thinking about that’s got you so preoccupied?"

"Shannon, when we went to meet Harriet, did she say that she agreed to see us because it was Theo who called her and asked her for a favor?"

I checked with Shannon again to make sure I had not misheard.

Shannon nodded. "Yes, she did. What's wrong?" She noticed the skepticism in my eyes and simply sat down opposite me, waiting for me to continue.

I looked at her and told her about what Theo had said this morning. Shannon was stunned after she heard that. "You’re saying that Theo didn't call Harriet. Why did she say that, then? Could it be that Theo lied because he doesn’t want you to know that it was him?"

I thought so too at first, but I observed Theo’s expression, and he was truly confused. He obviously did not know about it, so I ruled out this possibility.

"No, it’s not that."

"If it’s not Theo who lied, then it’s Harriet. But why did she do that?"

Shannon's doubts were exactly what I was struggling with. I did not know Harriet’s motive for saying what she did, and this threw my mind into chaos.

At this moment, my phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, so I picked it up with suspicion. A familiar voice came from the receiver. "President Lane, this is Lola."

Lola?!

I hurriedly turned on the speakerphone and listened to the call with Shannon. "Harriet can become your company's spokesperson, but the endorsement fee will be the same as the market rate. This is non-negotiable."

Hearing that, Shannon and I were both overjoyed. Shannon could not hide her excitement. She clenched her right hand and made a fist pump. I suppressed my joy and replied to Lola, "Really? That's great."

In an instant, the company was filled with activity.

"Oh my God, I didn’t expect Harriet to work with us.”

"Yes, yes. I thought she was an arrogant person. Who would have thought that she was so down-to-earth?"

"I didn't like her at first, but now she’s my idol!"

The response from everyone in Hatton was also similarly enthusiastic, not to mention her influence abroad. Green Orange was even more powerful now with her joining us.

"Okay, let's get back to work. We’ll have dinner tonight." I quickly stopped everyone, lest they became too excited.

"Thank you, President Lane!"
