The Woman From Hell

Back in the office, Shannon, who had been waiting for me for a long time, greeted me immediately.

"Did you meet Cole?" she asked.

I nodded. "Yes, I did."

"What did you two talk about?"

I sat in my seat, playing with a pen. "He helped me yesterday."

Hearing this, curiosity revealed itself on Shannon's face. "What did he help you with?"

I told Shannon what happened at the Schumans' residence last night. She was also surprised when she heard it. "That's strange. Why does it feel like Cole knows you very well?"

"I think so too."

That was why I said what I said. Perhaps he really did know everyone around me.

Why did he say he did not, though?

What was the purpose of lying?

Shannon held her chin but could not think of anything either. She patted my head. "Alright, don't force yourself if you can't figure it out. Things will work out, and the truth will come out one day." "Yes, I'll stop here. Let's work."
