The Woman From Hell

Theo glanced faintly at her and did not say anything. He held my hand and took me into the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed. Theo backed me to the wall and pressed his hands on the wall on either side of my head. He lowered his head and asked with a smirk, "You're interested in both genders?"

I was stunned for a moment. When I realized what he meant by that, my face flushed with anger. "What nonsense are you talking about? We came in contact while dealing with Amelia's parents yesterday. We got slightly familiar with each other."

Theo faintly smiled and kissed my forehead. "My wife has really amazing social skills."

My mouth twitched. "Is that a compliment?"

After accompanying Theo at Grant Corporation for a day and returning home at night, I remembered about Munchkin and gave Petra a call.

The call was quickly connected, but the person who answered it was Grayson." Your mom's asleep, Wanda. Are you coming back tonight?"

I smiled. "I'm not going back tonight. I'm still staying here. I just finished making dinner. Have you had dinner?"

"They're making dinner in the kitchen.

We'll be able to eat soon."

"How's Munchkin doing?"

Grayson smiled. "He's okay now. His fever has gone down. He's alive and kicking. I heard about Grant Corporation. How are things now?" "It's no big issue."

I then talked to him for a few minutes before hanging up.

I was just about to go have dinner when Jordan gave me a call.

I answered the phone. "Good evening, Mr. Fredericks."

Maybe I was used to calling him that at work that even though it was not working hours now, I still called him Mr. Fredericks.

Jordan smiled. "It's not working hours right now. You can just call me by my name. Shannon said you've returned to Whaldorf City. Are you free tomorrow? Let's have a meal together."
