The Woman From Hell



Madam Klein smiled at my answer. She patted the back of her hand and said, "It's okay, don't worry about it. It's just a small meeting gift. I'll have better things to give you if things flourish between you two."

I choked up and could not say a word. My expression turned ugly and hesitant.

"It's okay, don't feel pressured. Since I've given it to you, don't reject me."

Out of desperation, I could only accept it.

"It won't be good for me to reject you now that you've said so."

Madam Klein immediately smiled after seeing that I had relaxed.

"Aunt, I'd like the bracelet box so that I can protect it." Madam Klein was filled with joy. She nodded and took off the bracelet, speaking as she moved about.

"The two of you should get along. If he bullies you, I'll teach him a lesson..."

After asking Madam Klein for the bracelet's box, I put the box in my bag and went downstairs.

Marius was standing there, waiting for us to come down.

"Marius, be careful and send Wanda home safely."

Marius nodded and assured her, "Don't worry, Mom."

In the car.

Marius asked, "What were you and my mother doing upstairs?"

I raised a pale hand and stretched it out, showing off the beautiful bracelet. "Aunt forced a bracelet on me."

I slowly took off the bracelet as I said that, wiped it, and then put it in the box.

"Hey, I'll explain this to my family as soon as possible," Marius sighed and replied in a low voice.

I nodded. Closing my eyes, I rested.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the villa.

"I'll help you out of the car!"

"No need. We're at the door."

The corners of Marius's mouth twitched slightly as he smiled, "Oh, allow me. My mother did ask me to take you home safely."

I agreed since it would be hard to

footsteps not far away.

A slender figure walked over. He looked at me with deep eyes, which narrowed slightly.

"You're back? It's so early." I looked at Theo.

faint cold enveloping his body as he nodded.

"Yes, and you two?"

When I heard his question, I turned around and glanced at Marius before quickly replying, "Oh, he's just sending me back after we went to eat. You can head back first. I'llbe back after I send him off to

car."

Theo glanced at Marius coldly. He then caressed my head with a gentle expression and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go in first, then."

Marius looked like he was goofing around as he completely ignored Theo. There were also some elusive emotions in his eyes.

"Okay, I've been sent home safely, so you can go home now without worry."

I glanced at Theo with worry, afraid that he would mind this. Deep down, however, I still only saw Marius as a brother.

"Okay, I'll go first, then."

I watched Marius get into his car and sighed. The car engine started, and I watched the car drive away.

"You'd better not get too close to Marius. You're married."

A pair of thick hands hugged my slender waist, a chin resting on the crook of my neck.

"We just work together."

I put my hand on the back of his broad hand and stroked it gently.

I did not tell Theo about me pretending to be Marius' girlfriend and was feeling a little guilty at that moment.
