The Woman From Hell

Theo raised his head to look at me, a bright smile on his lips. "What's wrong? Does the madam wish to act like a good wife and mother in front of others?" "Aren't I?" I smacked his shoulder.

Theo let out a wince of pain, frowning. "Is this your show of it?"

"Are you complaining about your wife now?"

I stopped and stood aside with my arms wrapped around me as I pretended to be angry.

Almost instantly, Theo hug me from behind and said softly, "Whether or not you're a good wife or mother, you're the best in my opinion."

His words of affection were endless and intoxicating.

My anger dissipated as I turned around. "Enough. By the way, I'm getting off work early in the afternoon to go to Susan's apartment. There are still some things I need to bring back." "Alright. Do you want me to go with you?"

"It's so close. There's no need for that. Also, it's only a few items. You should head home earlier and wait for me." I straightened his shirt under his suit jacket.

Theo responded to me obediently, "As you say, my wife."

That made me laugh. "I won't disturb you anymore, then, President Grant. I'll go back to the office first."

"Alright."

I left the office. Seeing Keith at the door, I smiled at him and then left the place.

That afternoon, I left Grant Corporation an hour earlier than usual and went to Susan's apartment.

I had hired someone to come clean the place once a week. Now that I was taking away my stuff this time, I would also be returning the apartment to Susan. After tidying everything up, I moved my things to the car.

I thought of how I would not be seeing Neil anymore now that I was moving back to the villa. This was probably my last time back here, so I ought to inform him no matter what. Thinking of this, I went up to the door of Neil's house and rang the doorbell.

After a moment, Neil came to open the door and was a little surprised to see it was me. "Wanda, it's you. I haven't seen you for a few days."

"Yeah, I moved back to my

husband's place, so I won't be coming here as much anymore. I came here today to pack my things. I thought I should come over and let u know. And also thank you for

you entightening me during this time."

Hearing this, Neil patted his head, looking embarrassed. "Oh no, I didn't do anything like that. I saw the news. You and President Grant are a really good match. I wish you well

"Thank you. I hope things go smoothly for you and that your situation will get even better. We're still friends, so let's keep in touch."

"Yes. Should we have dinner tonight together, then?"

"Alright. Why don't I invite Theo as well? I can introduce you two as well."

Neil was startled at first but then he nodded. "Alright. I'd quite like to meet the legendary President Grant."

Hearing him say this, a smile slowly made its way to my face. "Since when was he legendary?"

"President Grant is a very capable

person, I see him in financial

magazines every year but rarely in real life. Of course, he's like a legend."

"It just so happens that I have my car with me. Hop in and come with me, then." "Alright. I'll go change."

I only had to wait for a while since Neil got changed very quickly. "Let's go."

He had put on a suit and looked like a whole different person from just now. He seemed so much more spirited. "Truly, clothes maketh the man." "Stop teasing me. Let's go."

Neil looked excited, like he was a fan about to meet his idol. I smiled but said nothing.

Worry started creeping onto Neil while we were on our way. "Aren't you going to give President Grant a heads up?"

"It's fine. I sent him a message and asked him to go over to the restaurant."

"Won't he be upset with you suddenly bringing me to your dinner with him?"

"Don't worry, he won't," I comforted him as I drove.

Neil kept fixing his clothes and hair the entire way. He seemed to be really looking forward to this meeting.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
