The Woman From Hell

Theo's light gaze landed on me, but he did not say anything.

Sometimes, silence suffocated even more.

Especially those ethereal and emotionless eyes.

I reached out and pulled Shannon back. "Forget it, let's go."

I would not have made this appointment if I had known that this would happen. I felt even more uncomfortable now. I just wanted to escape here as soon as possible now.

Shannon shook my hand away. Her pretty eyebrows furrowed as she looked at Theo with anger in her eyes. "I thought you weren't able to talk about things since it was difficult to do so in the house. That's why I asked Wanda to ask you out. Who would have thought you're someone who just shifts their affection? Wanda wasted so many years of her youth on you. Don't you feel guilty, you bastard?!

"Just what did Delia do to make you, the all-mighty Theo, be convinced to willingly get together with her?"

My heart became even more bitter as I listened to Shannon's reprimands one after another.

I went forward and pulled Shannon back, motioning her to stop talking. She was cursing him out heartily, but it also hurt my heart.

Sniffling, I said, "Shannon, let's go. Leave him."

Only then did Shannon turn to look at me. Anger still on her face, she glared at Theo who was at the side. "Alright. Let us leave quickly, lest President Grant grows annoyed with us."
