The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 2235

After Harriet left, I turned back to look at Theo, who was sitting in his boss' chair. He looked at me innocently.

Pulling away the chair opposite him, I sat down and folded my arms around my chest. "Tell me, has she been here for the past two days?"

"How did you know?"

It was true!

I lowered my face and said in a displeased tone, "I had only just walked in when everyone started looking at me strangely. I guessed that something fishy might have been going on. I didn't expect a beauty to be hidden in your office, President Grant."

Hearing my slightly sour tone, Theo raised his brows, and the corners of his lips turned up. "Miss Osborn was the one who came to Grant Corporation. I couldn’t drive her away since I recalled the madam saying that they were partners and that this partnership was not to be disturbed."

"We’re done selecting the photos now, so the deal is done. Unless she wants to break the contract and pay a large amount in compensation, that is." I put my hands on the table, feeling a little angry.

Theo was calm as he looked at me unperturbed. "What you’re saying is that I don't need to spare Harriet’s dignity and that I can just stop her at the door?"

"That's not really the case either." I pursed my lips and sighed. "Anyway, if she wants to come again next time, just ask the guards at the gates to stop her and say that you're not in."

"Okay, I’ll follow the madam's order."

Seeing Theo so well-behaved, my anger gradually subsided.

"Why were you looking for me, then, Madam?"

"Caroline said that you didn't eat breakfast. I thought you were busy with work and might not have had lunch, so I came to ask you out. Let's go."

The episode just now delayed us a lot of time, so we found a restaurant nearby.

All the private rooms were booked, maybe because it was peak season, so there were only available tables outside. I turned to look at Theo and said with a smile, “Why don’t you make do and have lunch in the main hall?"

He narrowed his eyes at the hall and nodded reluctantly.

Theo probably seldom ate out here. Given his status, he was definitely not used to it. Thinking of this, I asked again, "Why don't we change places?"

Her assistant was discerning and went to dine in the hall, leaving the three of us in the room.

Delia tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled faintly at Theo. “President Grant.”

"Yes," Theo just responded coldly.

I pushed him. Why was he so indifferent? I then smiled at Delia. "Delia, I didn't expect to meet you here."

"Yes, why did you come here to dine, Miss Owens?" Theo asked suddenly, but there was a hint of interrogation in his tone.

This tone made Delia tremble.

Noticing something was off with her, I quickly explained, "I'm sorry, Delia. Theo’s just like this. Don't mind him."

"I have no problem with other people I just don’t think Miss Owens should be here."
