The Woman From Hell

I lay on the bed. I tried to break myself free from thinking about what happened today, but my mind was filled with Theo's visage till the point it was going to explode.

"Wanda, the annual business conference will be starting next week. Let's attend it and represent Green Orange," Shannon shouted happily over the phone. There was an uncontrollable excitement in her voice. While I was exhausted, I did not want to be mean and spoil Shannon's joy, so I agreed.

The business conference was where elites from all walks of life would gather. If we could join and represent Green Orange, then the company's business would definitely be able to reach higher levels. I thought about this, and after some time, I gradually fell deeply asleep. The next week, none of my friends around me got hurt since I had deliberately kept my distance.

Although I would occasionally feel a pair of eyes fixed on me, I received no other threats after what happened the week before.

Also, I had been working overtime every day to prepare for the conference. How I wish the seconds could last much longer.

The day of the business conference arrived as scheduled. Shannon and I went shopping for haute couture dresses for the event. Shannon gripped my hand nervously while we were on the way. Weirdly, I was not that nervous.

There were all kinds of people chatting and laughing in high spirits in the luxurious hall. I saw Theo in the midst of a drinking party.

Our eyes met. I also saw Delia who was holding onto his arm. My heart constricted all of a sudden for some reason.
