The Woman From Hell

Come evening, I got off work early and waited for Theo and Townsend to return.

Around seven o'clock, I heard sounds coming from outside the door.

I stood up and looked out. Sure enough, they had returned. I grinned as I faced them. "You guys are finally back. Caroline is done with dinner."

"Great! I'm practically starving." Townsend rubbed his stomach as he made his way toward the dining room.

Townsend was as unrestrained as someone who was the host of the villa. He even kept persuading me to eat when he saw that I had not touched my cutlery. "Why aren't you eating? Is it because you want to lose weight after I called you fat yesterday?"

I lowered my gaze, casually picking up some food and putting it into my mouth while saying leisurely, "I didn't even know you called me fat."
