The Woman From Hell

I finally agreed to his request after his incessant pestering.

It was late by the time I started the journey back home.

The lights in the house were still on.

Theo was on the sofa and looking at the computer when I got home.

"Why did you come back so late?" Theo asked after looking at the time on his watch and then at me.

I organized my thoughts and replied, "I had something to do. I got delayed, so I had dinner outside."

I could not let Theo know what happened at Marius' place.

"Huh? What's the matter? Did something go wrong with the company again? Just tell me if you need my help." Theo got up and came toward me to take my bag off me with an expression of care.

"Oh no, everything is fine with the company. It's Marius. He was fighting with some people on the road. I saved him and called the police. That's why I've been busy until now!"

I did not say anything about going to Marius' house. I knew Theo would be a little worried even if he did not mind Marius.

I did not want something like this to cause a rift in their relationship.
