The Woman From Hell



He said that quite seriously as he looked at me.

This ambiguous atmosphere surged, and for the first time, my heart was beating so much faster while I stood in front of Marius. I lowered my head and played with a thread, not knowing how to respond.

Marius suddenly smiled after a long time. "Come now, there's no other meaning to that. We're just brother and sister. Why are you being so polite? Don't you think so, Sis Wan?"

"Yeah."

I gave a one-word reply and then went back to the room without looking back at Marius' expression.

I did not turn on my phone immediately after charging it.

Even though I knew very well that Shannon would definitely call me again, I was already exhausted today.

Tomorrow... I would deal with this tomorrow.

I wish I would wake up and find out that it was all just a dream.

I should just close my eyes.

That was just a hope of mine, though.

When I opened my eyes, I was still in Marius' apartment, and everything around me was still unfamiliar.

After getting up and washing up, I left the room. Marius was already up. "Come and have breakfast. It's just done. You came at the right time." Marius had prepared porridge and some side dishes.

"It rained yesterday, so it's good to have some porridge today," he said while preparing the bowls and spoons.

"I didn't expect you to be so early."

He used to sleep till the sun was high back when he was at Drover's. He had grown up.

"You're here, after all. How dare I be lazy?" he said with a smile.

"Hush. Let's eat breakfast."

I ended the conversation and concentrated on eating breakfast.

"Are you going to work today?"

"Yes."

Shannon might call the police if I did not.

I had to face what needed to be faced.

Marius nodded. "I'll drive you there later."

"Alright."

He would indeed pass by Green Orange to get to Hyperspace so I did not refuse.

I suddenly remembered what Marius said on the phone yesterday and asked, "You wanted to discuss the progress of the project with me. Why don't we talk about it now?"

Marius waved his hand. "I've always distinguished between public and private matters. It's off work hours now. It's no time to talk about the partnership. Besides, it's not urgent. When you have time, come to Hyperspace and we'll discuss it together."

"Alright, I'll do as you say."

Marius took me to Green Orange after breakfast.

When I got out of his car, I happened to see Shannon coming in this direction.

Seeing that it was me, Shannon ran toward me in quick strides. She glanced at the person in the car. "Yo, it's you?"

"Good morning Miss Shannon. I still

have something to do at the

company, so I won't be able to stay and chat. Let's have dinner together some other day when the

opportunity arises." Marius turned the car around after that.

I walked toward the elevator, and Shannon followed me. "Wanda, what happened last night? You suddenly went quiet, and when I called you later, it kept telling me that your phone was turned off."

"It's nothing. My phone died."

I stared ahead blankly and replied in a calm tone after getting onto the elevator.

Shannon was not used to me behaving like this. She glanced at me. "Wanda, did something really happen as I said?"

I had originally asked her to help me look into Theo's itinerary, so I did not need to keep this matter from her.

"Yes, and it's a big deal." My expression was serious.

Shannon caught a glimpse of my expression and suddenly moved to the side. "What's going on?"

The elevator doors opened, and we walked out.

"We'll talk in the office."

Entering Green Orange, we went directly to the office. Shannon could not wait to get in. She pulled up a chair and sat opposite me. "Tell me, what's the matter? You look so down."
