The Woman From Hell

The students passing by looked at Marius and whispered among themselves, discussing his outstanding appearance while expressing their lack of understanding toward my behavior. Why was he following right behind me chattering endlessly away and still looking all cheerful?

On the other hand, I did not reciprocate him, not even half-heartedly.

"Well, I'm very easy to satisfy. I don't ask for much."

Marius continued exaggerating his own achievements, and I cut him off after coming back to my senses. "Our work isn't over yet. Aren't you taking credit too soon?"

I finally managed to focus, but just when we were about to leave Whaldorf University, we bumped into Delia. I wondered if this degree of coincidence could be considered luck or misfortune. "Wanda, I didn't expect us to meet here. It's truly a pleasant surprise."

I did not know what she meant by that.

As it turned out, her ordinary greetings could be so hateful. Marius could not help but shoot back, "How shameless can you be? Are we so well well-acquainted? Why did you come up to us all friendly? I wasn't aware Theo's taste was getting lower and lower." I was at the side listening when Marius said all this.

Delia's gaze upon us instantly became meaningful. "I didn't mean to bother you. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

"Hey, what do you mean by that? I don't mind it but..."

The previous scandal between me and Marius was well-known to everyone. Even though we made a public explanation, the truth was still being distorted and used until now.

Delia would act all frail in front of Theo. However, she was not shying away at all from confronting me now. There was even a slight smile on the corners of her lips.

Even though Marius' words from before had been filled with hostility, she was still wearing a look of indifference until I tentatively asked, "President Klein and I came here for work. Why are you here?"

"Oh, President Grant told me not to laze around in the house all the time and that I should go out and walk around more."

She was obviously an interfering third party, but she had no sense ofExclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

shame she said this. It was

indeed not something that ordinary people could easily do.

It seemed that I still had not fully uncovered this woman's true nature.

"I thought of catching up with a friend, but I didn't expect her to have been transferred. I was just planning to head back."

"Being friends with a person like you probably isn't a good thing. They might just be hiding from you on purpose."

These words seemed to have hit a

sore spot of Delia's the moment they were uttered, and even her

expression became a little ferocious. "Wanda, I've been tolerant of you since owe you, but isn't he going too far?"

"You think he's going too far with just this? Then don't you think what you're doing to me is also crossing the line?"

She was completely speechless. I thought about the important business we had and did not want to disrupt our upcoming plans with this meeting.

Without arguing anymore, we continued our way in the direction of the mountain behind the school.

Along the way, Marius was still talking about how what he had said just now was not enough.

One could not be soft-hearted when

dealing with a person like that.

"You seem to have defended me despite the woman being annoying, Sis Wan."

"I didn't. You're thinking too much..."

I suddenly heard someone calling me from not far away. When I turned around, I saw Don.

In just one day I had bumped into two acquaintances. I stopped politely and nodded in greeting. Marius muttered, "Who is that?"
