The Woman From Hell

The Prime Star Global Investment Conference was being held at Paradise Restaurant. When Theo and I arrived, quite a few people were already there. There was a very ostentatious display board on the door.

We entered with me wrapped around Theo's arm. Leaning into his ear, I whispered, "I heard Prime Star has always been high-profile. I'll be learning a lot from this today. Thanks." Not only the display board at the entrance, but the banners outside the building were also very ostentatious.

Hearing this, Theo just smiled before whispering back, "This is something that everyone in the industry knows. Prime Star is powerful, though, so there's nothing wrong with them showing it."

"I think you're quite capable too, but aren't you being too low-key?" I asked with a smile while a gleam of light flashed through my eyes.

Theo heard what I said and casually grabbed a glass of red wine before handing it to me. He then grabbed another glass for himself. "If Madam wants me to show off, I can do it too."

"No need. I prefer you to achieve great things quietly. It makes you seem like an overnight celebrity."

Theo and I looked at each other and smiled at that.

We clinked our glasses and indulged in the red wine in one go.

I did not expect my first glass tonight to be with Theo.
