The Woman From Hell

I chose to conceal it this time.

I did not tell Shannon what Theo and I discussed today.

"You saw how Delia came to the company to cause trouble. I don't think this is gonna end when I go back."

I feigned helplessness. I propped my head on my hands and let out a long sigh.

"Delia might have more things to say if I go back now."

I tried to put this in the lightest possible terms.

I did not want Shannon worrying too much because of me, after all.

"You know I don't want to waste my time on her. Arguing with a person like that is a waste of time."

Shannon could not agree anymore with what I said. She nodded repeatedly. "You're right. That woman is so annoying. It's better for you to stay at the company than go back and quarrel with her. After seeing enough of that woman, I now feel that these project documents have become more beautiful!"

Shannon took advantage of the situation and sat beside me.

"Why don't I accompany you and work overtime at the company for a while? I have nothing to do when I go back anyway."

I smiled and looked at Shannon. The haze that lingered in my heart before dissipated quite a lot.

It was indeed great to have a friend by my side at a time like this.

At least it would make me feel like I was not alone.
