The Woman From Hell

In the days that followed, Theo would invite different people to come to the Grant Corporation building every day. I fulfilled our agreement and asked no questions. I just watched as the myriad of people came and went every day, which made me feel a little panicky.

On this day, I was lying in bed, my head filled with thoughts about all the people who had come to Grant Corporation. I was beginning to feel more and more uneasy.

Theo seemed to notice something off with me. So, he reached his hand out and knocked me on my head. His tone of voice was teasing. "What are you thinking about, little girl?"

I got up slowly and looked at him earnestly before answering in a serious tone, "I've seen you invite all kinds of people to the company every day these days, but I don't know anything. It makes me uneasy." "Didn't I already tell you? I'm building a team to go up against Matthew. That's why I have to invite people over." Theo put down the document in his hand and focused on comforting me.

I sighed and frowned. "Is everything really okay?"

"Everything is truly fine, don't worry."

I noted that Theo's expression was calm. His words were even calmer. It really looked like nothing bad had happened and my heart gradually eased.

"Okay, that's good then. You must tell me if there's anything." I grabbed his hand, my expression stern. I was not joking with him.

Noting my seriousness, Theo also responded with a solemn expression. "Alright."

With his words, I finally eased my suspended heart and lay back on the bed. "Shannon invited me out to eat tomorrow afternoon." "Alright, it'd be good for you to go and have a chat with her too."

He tucked me in and said softly, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."
