The Woman From Hell

Everyone looked at me in surprise when I came to the company.

This was something I expected. Everyone working here understood my temper, after all. They knew that I was not one to compromise.

I nodded to them in greeting.

After that, I made my way to the elevator specifically for the president with ease without guidance from the front desk staff.

In front of me was Theo's dedicated office. I had no intention of knocking on the door. I simply opened it.

I was nothing but suspicious when I saw Theo's surprised gaze.

"What's wrong?"

"Why did you come here all of a sudden?"

Theo was at a slight loss. He obviously did not expect to see me at the office after so many things had happened.

"Do you not wish for me to come?" I asked lightly.

"No, I'm really happy you came."

I was not interested in his happiness. I closed the door and went up to him, leaving the lunch box on the table.

"What's this?"

"A lunch box. Don't overthink it. I was forced to do this."

The smile on Theo's face instantly vanished. I knew he was disappointed, but it was the truth.

"Have you eaten?"

"No," I replied honestly.

If it were back then, I definitely would not have wanted Theo to be worried and would lie and say that I had eaten. I just went with the flow now. If I had not eaten, then that was it. He was allowed to think whatever he wanted.

"Then why don't you have lunch with me?" Theo's tone was pressing.

He had been watching me heatedly since the start as if he were afraid I would hide away.

How many falsities were there in this gaze?

This was the only question I had now. I was no longer moved like before.

"Alright."

I did not refuse him. There was no reason to pass on such a luxurious lunch box.

The food was still piping hot, and the smell instantly filled the office.

Caroline was a brilliant cook, and I ate very happily.

Theo hesitated to speak many times. He said nothing in the end when he saw that I was concentrating on eating.

The direction of public opinion soon changed. The operation had been very effective.

There was more and more news about love between couples as usual, and Theo's image was gradually restored.

Back at the villa, I was packing my things in the room when my phone rang.

I was not surprised to see that it was Marius calling.

"Why did you move back? Is my home not good enough?"

I wanted to laugh at Marius's dissatisfaction.

"Your house is fine."

"Why did you move, then?"

I gave it a thought. Marius had taken good care of me and had been

done I could not hide this from him.

"I'm back for the children's sake."

I told him everything that happened, including Delia already having moved into the villa.

Marius was fuming. I could sense it even across the phone.

“Alright, alright. No need to be angry, I'm fine."

"How can not be angry? Damn, this is really too much! You shouldn't have to keep enduring this. Look at

how far that woman has gone

"Don't mind her. She won't be able to do anything." "No, I can't be at ease. I have to get justice for you."

I knew Marius meant well, but I had to refuse him.

"No need for that. Just let me handle this, alright? I don't want to trouble you."

Marius sighed helplessly and finally

I agreed lightly and ended the call.
