The Woman From Hell

"I'm back."

Putting on my slippers, I habitually swept a glance at the sofa and saw Theo waiting for me.

Seeing the smile on my face, Theo could obviously tell my joy. "Happy?"

I nodded. "Yes."

"Is it now settled?"

"Yeah, I made up with Marius tonight." I sat down and snuggled up next to Theo.

Theo reached out and caressed my head. "I'm happy you guys made up. I'm jealous now."

There was a hint of childishness in his tone, and I could not stop my smile from deepening. "Oh, you. What's there to be jealous of friends?"

I rarely behaved so coquettishly in front of him, so Theo's anger quickly subsided when he heard that. "Enough. Nibel will be coming over to the company for a meeting tomorrow. Shall we go together?" "My presence wouldn't really matter, right? Since the project is stable now."

"Alright. As you say. But sales for Golden-O have been increasing. I'm a little worried."Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

I frowned at Theo's words. "What are you worried about?"

"Since we're the ones leading this project, I worry that there might be trouble."

Hearing this, I nodded in assent. "We should prepare prevention measures in advance. I'll put my thinking cap on."

I suddenly felt a hand tap my head and raised my eyes to look at Theo. "Why'd you do that?"

"It's late. Don't think about it now. Leave it for tomorrow."

I tilted my head to look at Theo and chuckled. "I didn't expect the work-obsessed President Grant to tell me to leave things for tomorrow."

"There's no rush. Our priority now is to cultivate our relationship as husband and wife. Let's go!" Theo suddenly picked me up and went upstairs. The sense of security I felt in his arms was unmatched. The next day, Marius and Shannon were already in the office when I arrived.

Seeing the two of them silent and sensing the rather awkward atmosphere, I cleared my throat and started, "Good morning."

"Morning."

"Morning."

They replied in unison. They looked at each other before snorting and turning away again.

Seeing them like this, I had no

choice but to say something. "Harmony makes money. Shannon, it was our fault. Why are you still

mad?" on,

"It doesn't matter. No matter how fierce our arguments become, we shouldn't block one another. Was I spared this indignity?"

She probably wanted to apologize to Marius that day, but seeing herself blocked must have made her feel bad.

I approached Marius and said softly, "That's how she is. Stop picking a bone with her and just forgive her."

"For your sake." Marius glanced at

me before tapping his phone screen. He showed Shannon how he had added her back to his friends' list "So, you can add me now and then block me. We'd be even then, no, Missy?"

Standing behind Marius, I tried to give Shannon a meaningful glance that she should accept the out when it was now given. Shannon coughed dryly. "Fine, but you have to treat Wanda and me to dinner at the most expensive restaurant." "Okay, okay. Dinner it is."

Marius was truly a gentleman. He knew when to give and take and knew that this peace hinged on his humility.

"Alright, everyone. We're now friends e

again. Nina has been so busy with her wedding that we have a design vacancy. Marius, you're up." bpatted his shoulder.

"Why me?" He looked at me bitterly.

"You said it yourself that you're a one-man show. You'll be compensated when Nina returns," Shannon replied.

Marius sighed at that. "Indeed the most brilliant of minds are the ones who have to carry the banner."

I met Shannon's gaze and smiled...
