The Woman From Hell

Even though Shannon tried to persuade me again and again, I still did not have the courage to go back to the villa. Standing in front of Marius' apartment, I lowered my head and sighed before entering the house after a moment's hesitation. Sure enough, he did not go to the company and had been at home.

Marius told me when I went out this morning that I could come back anytime in the evening and that he would be at home.

He was not surprised to see me and had a smile on his face. I looked toward the dining table, where delicious food was already prepared. It was like he knew that I would definitely come back.

I followed him to the dining table and took a seat. I picked up the cutlery and took a bite.

Marius kept looking at me, which made me feel unnatural. I looked up at him. "Why do you keep looking at me?"

"Of course, it's because I want to observe your mood," Marius said with a smile. He closed his eyes and started to eat.

There was a silence at the table, which was unusual for Marius' character.

I could not stand it anymore, so I asked, "Why aren't you talking?"

"Can I?" Marius looked at me with surprise.
