The Woman From Hell

As a result of letting the news ferment, share prices for both Grant Corporation and Pristine Group fell lower and lower.

I looked at Theo, who was still calm in his seat, and sighed. I pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down. I wanted to have a good chat with him. "Theo, this is not a solution. Even if you don't care about Grant Corporation's share price, Nibel does. Have you figured out how to deal with this?"

The moment I said this, Keith's voice sounded from outside the door. "President Grant, President Lane. Mr. Nibel is here."

Here came condemnation.

I looked at Theo with a worried expression. "Here he comes."

"Don't worry." Theo took my hand and patted it. There was not a trace of panic on his handsome face.

He was being way too calm now.

After Keith retreated, Nibel entered. His expression was none too good, and his blue pupils were full of sternness.

Nibel strode into the office, and Theo stood up to greet him with a smile on his lips. "Mr. Nibel, long time no see."
