The Woman From Hell

Chapter 40

Chapter 40 

I had no choice but to put some soup in m y mouth. Before I could drinks it, the fishy stench made my stomach churn. I quickly ran to the bathroom and threw up. 

“Why are you still throwing up?” He looked at me suspiciously. 

“It‘s probably because I drank yesterday. Plus, I‘m not used to the smell of mullets since I was young, So...” I explained with guilt in the tone of my voice. 

His body stiffened up: perhaps recalling last night‘s incident. 

I thought about how this was the first time Theo had cooked for me, so I closed my eyes and forced myself to drink up the fishsoup.

He went back into the kitchen and made a bowl of porridge. “Your stomach is probably feeling uncomfortable after yesterday‘s drinking,” he said softly. “Eat 

this.” 

He then looked at me and said indifferently, “You can rest at home today. I will take care of the company. You have caused the company to lose a lot of money. Think about how you can make up for it!”
