The Woman From Hell

Chapter 2612

Nibel looked at me with amusement in his eyes. "I think you misunderstood me, Miss Wanda. I called you here today not to get you to help me convince President Grant but simply to explain what happened before."

"Is that so? That's fine, then. But I suppose that with your power, Mr. Nibel, reaching a partnership with Grant Corporation would be imperative," I said sincerely. Theo would work together with Nibel. Nibel's head fell back as he laughed the moment I said that. "I'll be counting on your blessing then, Miss Wanda. This tea is pretty good, no?"

I was a little stuck due to the sudden change of topic. Stunned, I then said, "Yes, it's not bad. It has a strong aroma and a sweet aftertaste. I didn't expect you to have researched tea."

"It's not really research. I just enjoy it. Hatton tea leaves are very different."

I was not interested in tea leaves and could only offer him a smile.

"I hope you'll believe me, Miss Wanda."

"I think there's some credibility."

As if I would believe him.

I smiled faintly. Theo wanted me to cooperate with him. This ought to be enough, then.

I rejected Nibel's offer for dinner that night and went back to the apartment.
