The Woman From Hell

Theo and I were off work on Sunday, but he pulled me out.

I was feeling unhappy in the car and said in a displeased tone, "I wanted to get some good rest. Why did you drag me out? Where are we going?"

"To the airport."

"What are we going to do there?"

"My childhood friend is back. Let's go pick him up together." Theo's voice was still calm.

My eyes lits up when I recalled him saying that he wanted his childhood friend to come over and follow up on the resort project two days ago. "That mixed-race childhood friend you mentioned?"

"Mm-hmm, yes." Theo was concentrating on driving the car and was completely unaware of my changing expression.

I chuckled softly, feeling in a good mood. "Alright. Since he is your childhood friend, of course, we should go pick him up together. Otherwise, it'd be rude."

Theo obviously noticed my change and turned to glance at me. Seeing me smile, his expression immediately changed. "Restrain yourself, Madam Grant."

I behaved when he called me that, but I was still looking forward to it. I did not talk anymore, nor did he, and we arrived at the airport in silence.

"It's been so long. Why hasn't he come out yet? Did you get the time right?" I did not like waiting very much since Theo had made me wait for a really long time. "Soon," Theo replied to me perfunctorily as he looked down at the time.
