The Woman From Hell

I reached the villa and entered the living room only to see Theo sitting on the sofa, magazine in hand. Recalling what Neil said, I could only hide it away even though I had a thousand other things in mind. "I'm back."

Theo put down the magazine when he heard me and looked at me. "Why so late?"

"That's because we rarely ever go out together." I looked at Theo, my gaze somewhat unnatural.

He instantly caught onto it and asked, "Did something happen? Your expression is a little off."

His words instantly struck me, and I stuttered. Looking at Theo nervously, I replied, "Nothing happened."

Theo approached me and reached out his hand to brush away my hair from my temples. There was a look of concern in his eyes. "Obviously, something happened. Tell me what happened. Don't forget what you said yourself. There shouldn't be secrets between us." I pursed my lips. I knew I could not tell Theo what happened with Neil or else things would get out of hand.

Inhaling, I raised my gaze to look at him. "Shannon and I arranged a blind date for Marius today. He got mad." I lowered my head, disappointment written all over my face.

Theo kissed my forehead before pulling me into his arms. Rubbing my head, his gentle voice made me feel cared for. "You should've talked to me about it first."

"I'm sorry. I didn't know he'd get mad." Recalling Marius' disappointed visage just now, my eyes subconsciously got wet again. I sniffled, but the tears still fell, dripping onto Theo's shoulder.

Feeling my tears, Theo hugged me even tighter. "It's alright. Marius will be fine once he cools down."
