The Woman From Hell

We finished our meal quickly. After I sent her off to her car, I went back to the company.

I could not help finding it really strange when I thought of her appearance after returning.

Both of us had eaten in silence after that. Although I did not say anything anymore, I still noticed her retching from time to time.

The more I thought about it, the weirder it was. I sensed that she was hiding something from me. I told Shannon about it since I wanted to get her perspective on this. "Did she do anything to disappoint you?"

I froze for a moment at that question before shaking my head dully. "No, I haven't seen her for several months. It was a coincidence that I met her today."

Shannon did not take that seriously. She said while sorting out her work in hand, "Well then, it might just be her own matters. Perhaps she doesn't want you to worry. "Besides, who doesn't have a little secret? Are you going to force her to reveal it?"

I thought that what she said was reasonable, but thinking how strange Delia had been acting, I kept thinking that she was hiding something important.

"But she..." I hesitated.

Shannon sighed a little helplessly when she saw me like this. "Don't think too much."

Was I thinking too much, or did something really happen?
