The Woman From Hell



The result of drowning your sorrows in alcohol was...

I looked at Don, who could not open his eyes, with a helpless expression.

He had collapsed on the sofa in the room and was unable to get up for a long time.

"Wanda, we'll leave him to you. You guys stay in the same hotel, right?"

I nodded. "Yes, you guys go ahead first. I'll take care of him."

"Great, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

After sending them off, I looked down at the drunk man on the sofa and wiped my forehead. I would not have come if I had known.

I prodded him. "Professor Logan, can you get up?"

"Uh, uh..." he murmured.

The big project was coming.

I sighed, pulled him up, and put one hand on my shoulder, which was equivalent to carrying half of his body weight. I walked out.

After going outside, bursts of coolness hit.

Throwing him on a spot outside the karaoke joint, I went to hail a taxi.

"Excuse me, can I trouble you to carry him to the car for me?"

The man was not bad. He helped me carry Don into the car.

"Miss, you have to take care of your boyfriend. Make sure he doesn't throw up in the car, or it's going to be hard to clean," the driver said to me.

I looked at Don who had fallen asleep and shook my head. "He's just a friend. Don't worry, I'll watch him."

"Good."

The car started slowly. I had deliberately asked the driver to drive more steadily to prevent Don from being overwhelmed.

Fortunately, we arrived at the hotel safely.

After getting off the car, I had hotel security help me bring Don upstairs.

"Thank you."

I opened the door with his room card after sending the security guard away.

I was out of breath when I finally got him into his room.

Just as I was about to catch my breath, my phone rang.

Theo was calling.

Of all times for him to call and he chose now. He did not call in the mornings and not even in the evenings.

I glanced at Don who was sleeping soundly. He should not be able to cause any trouble, so I answered the phone, "Theo."

"You're not asleep yet?"

"I just came back to the hotel after

get-together with the others." I

glanced at Don and went to thel.ne

balcony for the call.

Theo's voice was a little hoarse on е the other end of the phone as if he had been working all day. "The banquet is tomorrow. You should go to bed early tonight."

I brought down my phone and checked the time. It was getting late.

"Your voice sounds weird. You should brew some herbal tea. Don't get sick."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come back."

Just as I was about to reply, the man on the bed groaned. "Water, I want water."

I quickly covered my phone's receiver and fixed my gaze on Don. I then ran to the bathroom and closed the door.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"What was that sound just now?"

"Uh..... it's nothing. Just some passerby in the corridor."

I tried to make myself sound calm, but I still seemed a little hesitant.

Theo probably would not find out, right...

"The corridors shouldn't be that quiet. That sounded like a man just now..."

"It was just a drunk man who was walking past me. It's nothing. Don't think about it," I explained.

It would be too complicated to explain this over the phone.

Without letting him continue, I said, "Go to sleep soon. I'm going to sleep too. Good night."

I did not care if he wanted to reply after saying that. I just hung up the call directly.

I would explain it to Theo when I went back.

I walked out of the bathroom and glanced at Don, who was still muttering for water.

I found him a bottle of mineral

water. He drank a few sips and fell asleep covered him with a blanket, and after confirming that he would not kick the blanket off of himself, I went out.

Exhausted, I went back to my room. I did not manage to wash up. I fell asleep directly the moment I hit the bed...
