The Woman From Hell

Fast forward to Monday night.

Since the ceremony was on Wednesday, I planned to head over to Salt City by Tuesday.

Theo came in and bumped into me when I was packing my luggage that night. He took a look and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Oh, my university chancellor called. There's a banquet on Wednesday night, and they want me to go back for the opening ceremony. I agreed and plan to leave tomorrow," I responded to him. Hearing this, Theo's handsome features furrowed. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Seeing his tight expression, I lowered my head and smirked slightly. "It's just a small matter. I thought you were busy with work recently, so I didn't tell you. I'll be back in two days. Don't worry." "Are you going alone?"

"Yes. Would you be free to accompany me otherwise, President Grant?" I simply asked back expectantly, eager to hear Theo answer. However, my words stumped him.

He was frozen for a moment, and there was hesitation in his eyes.

A long time passed before I heard his voice. "There are a lot of things going on at the company recently, so I can't step away. Let me get Keith to accompany you so you have someone to take care of you." "No, I can take care of myself. It's only two days. It'll be over soon."

Although it was the expected answer, I was still a little disappointed. Concealing my loneliness, I continued packing my things.

Lying on the bed at night, the man beside me did not move at all.

Suddenly, a voice registered itself in my ears. "Are you asleep?"

Theo's mellow voice drifted over across the pillow. It was very magnetic.

"Not yet. What's the matter?" I asked lightly, but I was already almost asleep.

"It feels weird lately."
