The Woman From Hell



The sudden change of atmosphere disoriented me.

Marius laughed in the next second again. "I just want to prove my devotion. Let's watch TV."

He picked up the remote control as he said that and put on a TV show.

Seeing the sincerity in his eyes, my heart trembled.

He seemed to understand a lot of things in that instant.

Yet I could not answer his questions.

Nearing ten o'clock, Marius took me to the room "No one's lived here before, but my housekeeper comes and cleans it every week, so it's in pristine shape."

He turned on the lights, and the room became bright.

The interior was simple with fresh colors. Marius adjusted the warm light, making the whole room look much warmer.

"Is this okay?"

"Yes, it's not bad." I walked into the room and looked at the furnishing.

There was nothing on the dressing table. One could tell that no one had stayed here. The blanket and the bed sheets looked new without wrinkles. Marius stood at the door. "Sleep early, Sis Wan. I'll go back to my room now."

"Uhm, Marius... Thank you."

All I could do now was to say thank you.

It came from my heart and was earnest.

He smiled slowly. "It's nothing. It's just a small matter. You don't have to be so courteous to me. Good night."

After that, Marius went into the next room.

Closing the door, I lie on the bed, my thoughts racing.

I wondered where I would be at this moment if I had not gotten to know Marius?

Shannon had her own family. Nina was with Jason, and even Susan had Tyler accompanying her. I could not go to my parents as they would definitely run and get into a fight with Theo.

Fortunately, Marius was here, so I had time to sort out this matter.

Just as I was about to think some more, my phone's ringing disrupted me.

"Shannon."

"Wanda, you didn't come to the company today. Did something happen at home?"

Shannon had obviously just finished her work. Otherwise, she would have come and asked after me right after work considering her temperament. How could she have waited until now?

I felt a little sorry for her and sighed. "It's a bit complicated. I don't know how to say it."

"Is it related to Theo and Delia?"

Shannon was the one who found them visiting the hospital together, so I was not surprised that she was able to guess it.

"Yeah." I hummed in a low voice.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

"Could it be that the two of them are really having an affair?!" Shannon's tone of disbelief sounded through the receiver like a knife piercing into my heart.

My heart skipped a beat. I still could not face it.

"Uhm... Shannon, I'll let you know when I figure it out." If there was a hole right now, I really wanted to climb straight into it and escape from reality. "Wanda, are you okay?"

As if hearing the sullenness in my voice. Shannon asked with concern.

I hesitated for a moment. I was

about to respond when all noise suddenly stopped coming from the other end of the phone. It was followed by an automatic shutdown.

My phone was out of battery.

Good, I could hide for a while.

It could not stay dead all the time, though.

I went through a few drawers but could not find the charger. I did not know if Marius was already asleep.

Thinking of this, I left the room. I

was about to knock on the door next

door but was worried that I would disturb him, so I dropped my hand again after lifting it.

Suddenly, there was a squeak and the door opened.

Marius was a little surprised to see me. "Sis Wan, what's the matter?"

"No, it's just that my phone is out of battery. I wanted to ask if you have a charger."

"Oh yes, I'll bring it to you."

After he said that, he turned around and gave me a charger.

"Thanks."

"So courteous of you, Sis Wan."

"Thank you."

"I wish you were less courteous with me..."
