The Woman From Hell

Marius' apartment.

It was not as big as I imagined, and it was also not as messy as I imagined. On the contrary, it was clean and cozy.

"Shouldn't your place be closer to Drover's?"

I recalled Drover mentioning earlier that Marius' house was not far from his.

"Rich people have more than one house. Isn't it reasonable?" Marius winked at me and made a funny expression as if he was trying to cheer me up.

I shook my head helplessly, not the slightest curve on my lips.

Marius said nothing anything else. He just went to his room and then took out a set of women's clothes before handing it to me. "It's new. The label hasn't been torn off yet. Go take a hot bath and change."

Women's clothes?

I accepted them. They were indeed new. He probably bought them again as a gift for some girl.

I looked around searching for the bathroom.

Seeing through my thoughts, Marius pointed to one of the gorgeous doors. "That's it."

I frowned and walked forward to open the door inlaid with pearls and gemstones. It must look even more gorgeous inside.

Pushing open the door, my eyes caught a bright light.

Upon closer look, it turned out there was a lamp at the top. It was made into a diamond shape, and once turned on, it attracted people's gazes like a luminous pearl. Would it not be stressful to bathe in here?

I glanced back at Marius and noticed him wearing a smug expression as if this was his best work. "How is it? Not bad, yeah? Does the aristocratic atmosphere come through?"

"The interior of your bathroom is very different from the outside."

The entire apartment's design was largely simple. I did not expect the bathroom to be so luxurious and out of place.

Marius put his hands in his pockets

hist

and said with a smile, "It feels very nice to take a shower and change

n

clothes in such an environment. Don't believe me? Try and you'l know." He tilted his chin, looking confident.

I did not really care about this.

Without giving a response, I closed the door.

I felt much more relaxed after taking a shower. As soon as I got out of the bathroom, saw Marius carrying a cup to the dining table. He

immediately called me over when he saw me, "Sis Wan, come and drink

sure

this bowl of ginger tea. Ntch a

you finish it so you don't

cold."

Walking over, I took a look at it. "I didn't expect you to be quite so considerate."

"Of course, I'm a warm kind of guy." Marius raised his eyebrows, looking smug.

I picked up the cup and took a sip, my whole body instantly jolting. "Marius, how much ginger did you put in this?" The taste was overpowering.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

"I was afraid it might not be strong enough, so I put in a little more. That way, it'll work. Finish it quick."

Under his 'pressuring', I had no choice but to finish the cup of hot ginger tea.

If it were not for us being close, I really would have thought that he was messing with me.

We sat on the sofa in the living room facing each other.

Marius looked at me cautiously. "Sis Wan, did you quarrel with President Grant?"

"Isn't it obvious?" I asked back.

He coughed dryly. "It is. I just want to make sure since your relationship is so good, after all. I thought nothing could shake it."

That was true. So many years had passed and we had practically argued about everything that could be argued about.

However, something big happened just like this.

I turned to watch the TV while pretending to be indifferent. "I don't want to talk about it now."

Marius did not force me when he

heard this. "Okay, then I won't ask. You can make do with my place here today, Sis Wan. I have two

rooms. You can take the master bedroom and I'll take the other one."
