The Woman From Hell

After Don left, Shannon shoved my arm eagerly.

"Hey, hey. Looks like the beauty Wanda Lane has quite the charm. You can strike up conversations with anyone wherever you go. I think that Don guy might be a little interested in you!" Shannon immediately started joking, and she even winked at me.

"He's not. We're just former schoolmates. Also, I'm married."

I raised my hand. There was a beautiful wedding band on my slender finger.

"Alright, alright. I suppose you're set on that dog of a man Theo for good this lifetime. You're guarding yourself like a jewel for him here, but I wonder what's going on between him and Delia!" Shannon huffed, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"What are you even saying? You're also married. Aren't you ashamed?" I shoved Shannon, who had been leaning against my side, away somewhat helplessly.

It seemed that Shannon did not have that good of an opinion of Theo at all.

"Alright, alright. Since you're unhappy, I won't say more."

Shannon glanced at me meaningfully before making a zipping motion across her mouth with her hand, motioning how she definitely would not say another word. I was slightly dumbfounded.

I thought this would end like this and did not expect Don to actually take the opportunity to follow up with me when we got off the plane.

"Wanda, which hotel are you planning to stay in this time? I can help you book a hotel if you don't mind. I'm quite familiar with the entirety of Sea City."

I subconsciously took a step back and widened the distance between us before smiling politely.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's alright. We already booked our hotel before we came here. Thank you for your kindness."

In actuality, my relationship with Don was really not that great. He was only my alumnus at most before this.

An alumnus who I had bumped into many times and had no further relationship with.

"It's no trouble. If that's the case, then so be it. But if you have any questions about Sea City, you can call me. You guys are just two women, so it's best for you to be careful." Don did not feel unhappy at my refusal. After a while, he took his leave politely.

"What's up with this guy? I somehow recall you guys not having this good of a relationship. At most, you guys can be considered acquaintances. Isn't it a bit too much for him to offer to help you book a hotel?"

Shannon stared at Don, her doubts written clearly on her face.

As an ordinary friend, Don's approach was obviously overboard.

"Even if he's pursuing you, he shouldn't act so intimately and cross the line!"

When I heard what Shannon said, I also frowned and glanced at Don.

"Shannon, could you perhaps be overthinking? He doesn't seem to be pursuing me. He probably simply wants to exchange greetings with an alumnys. You know how these scholarly types may not have the highest emotional intelligence."

From the way see it, Don was just an overly friendly alumnus. A professor who focused so much on academies might find it hard to notice these kinds of details. Don might actually think his behavior was normal...
