The Woman From Hell

After an hour.

I exited the room. When I came out, I saw the middle-aged man who had pretended to be Cole. He had only been acting, but I really punched him. I gave him a slightly apologetic look. "Uhm... Sorry, I didn't mean to."

He waved his hands again and again, smiling honestly. "It's okay, I understand."

He was completely different from his repulsive behavior just now. I could not help but suspect that he was an actor.

I did not hover around him too much. I just bowed slightly to apologize to him and then turned to leave.

The moment I got to the elevator, the doors opened, and out came Marius and Shannon.

The nervous expressions on their faces eased slightly when they saw me. Shannon pulled me. "Are you alright, Wanda?"

"Sis Wan, we were waiting downstairs for so long. We came up because we were worried that you were in danger. You weren't bullied, were you?"

I shook my head and entered the elevator first. "I'm okay. Let's go."
