The Woman From Hell

I realized that he was getting better at saying honeyed words. I was on cloud nine after hearing a few simple words.

"Can we have dinner together?" he spoke softly into my ear.

I wanted to agree, but after recalling that I had promised to have dinner with Tyler, I could only apologetically say, "I promised my brother to have dinner with him. He seems to be in an argument with Susan and is in a pretty bad mood."

Theo frowned. "Why is he coming to you when they're having a fight? Are you a trash bin that he can dump his trash into?'

I froze and lifted my hand to pinch his waist, saying with displeasure, "What are you talking about? People will be in a bad mood sometimes. Besides, I haven't seen my brother for so long, so shouldn't we have a meal together now that I'm back?"

Theo harrumphed softly and placed his chin on my shoulder, acting like a spoiled brat. "Sure, you can go. But you must bring me with you. I don't want to eat alone anymore because nothing tastes good." I could only helplessly agree. "Okay, let's go together, then."

This was my first time finding it interesting to accompany Theo at work.

Even though I was only looking at him quietly now, I realized that the man displayed full elegance and nobility in everything he did.

It was truly a blissful thing to be able to admire a moving picture of a beautiful man up close like that.

Perhaps I was too focused on his face that I only returned to my senses after Theo put down his pen and turned to look at me.

He stared at me with a pair of pitch-black eyes, his thin lips parting slightly. "Come here."

As though being enchanted, I stood up and walked over.

Theo was pleased and gently smirked. He grabbed my arm and gave a gentle tug, making me sit on his lap.

He asked me with a smile, "Am I nice to look at?"

I blushed and nodded. "Yeah."
