The Woman From Hell

Theo was already at the restaurant when Neil and I arrived.

He was still dressed the same as he had been during the day, but his temperament seemed to have changed.

He was very different when he was resting compared to when he was at work.

He seemed much softer now, but the words 'no strangers allowed' were still written on his face.

"Theo, let me introduce you to Neil Hendersohn. We met when I was living in Susan's apartment."

I wonder if it had been my hallucination, but it felt like Theo's expression changed when he saw Neil. However, it disappeared in an instant.

Theo stood up, the corners of his mouth curling upward. "Hello, I'm Theo Grant."

"Hello, President Grant. I've admired you for a long time." Neil had been nervous since the start. He grasped Theo's hand in his own for a long time, not letting go.

I let out a few coughs to pull him back to the present. Why was the atmosphere so weird? I asked them to take their seats and then sat down next to Theo. "Neil often comforted me during that time. He's a very good friend." "Oh, is that so?" Theo was expressionless, but his tone carried a chill. There was also a chill in his gaze that was directed at Neil.

Neil lowered his eyes, most likely beaten back by Theo's gaze. "I just saw that Wanda was—"

"Wanda?" Theo repeated my name when he heard Neil referring to me as such. His gaze upon him was even sharper now.
