The Woman From Hell

I looked at him, my gaze playful and my tone light. "President Grant, could it be that you're waiting for me today as well?"

I was joking and did not expect him to reply to me seriously, "Yes, I was waiting for you."

Flattered, I paused. What had gotten into him these two days?

I glanced upstairs. Was Nicky going to come down again?

"She's not back yet."

Seeing through my thoughts, Theo opened his mouth and said, relieving my doubts.

"Well, let's talk, then. What's the matter?" I sighed in relief and turned to look at him. I had no plans of taking a seat since I did not think that it would take long. I just stood. Theo also stood up and faced me. "In today's news, you and Drover..."

"What's wrong with Drover and me? President Grant, don't tell me you're bothered by who I'm with?" With a brow raised, I snatched his words and asked directly.

Confused by my actions, Theo pursed his dry lips. I cut him off from what he was going to say just now and probably even threw a wrench at what he wanted to say after that. "No, I just don't feel very happy." He lowered his head and said, sounding a little aggrieved.

I looked at him, feeling rather amused when I heard his words. Chuckling, I asked in confusion, "What's the matter? You can have Nicky, but I can't have Drover?"
