The Woman From Hell

The next day, I left for the company early in the morning after not being able to sleep the entire night.

Everyone could see my lethargic appearance. After hearing that Shannon did not come to the company, I went into the office and buried myself in work.

When Nina came in to deliver documents, she noticed the state I was in as I tried using work to numb myself. She asked with concern, "President Lane, you don't look too good. How have rest and sleep been for you recently?" I drank some invigorating coffee and replied to her with a smile, "It's fine."

"Is it?"

Although I was pretending to be strong, I still could not help the fatigue on my face. I put the document she handed to me on the table and said thank you. However, she stopped me with her question in the next second. "President Collins should be awake by now even if she overslept. How about I call her and ask her to come over?"

My silence revealed everything. Nina knew that some stones should be left unturned and left the office with a sigh.

Nina would take the initiative to help me share some of the burden during work. Despite not knowing what was going on, she still cared about me.

At least, in her eyes, I was just pretending to be strong.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

"Here, I prepared lunch for you."

"I was just thinking of ordering takeaway. I almost forgot because I was so busy. Thank you."

Nina actually knew that I had been staring at the phone absent-mindedly, not paying any attention to my stomach. I probably would not have felt hungry even after lunchtime passed. Thank goodness she had the foresight.

"President Lane, hurry up and eat something. There is no end to work. If I were like you, I might have already become a well-known design master."

My mood also eased a little when I heard Nina joking around. I would not be able to do anything if my body broke down. That would be a kind of torture to me.

I stopped what I was doing and said,

"Your strength is obvious to

everyone. Your goal will definitely be achieved one day. When the time comes, I hope to be the first to congratulate you." FindNovel

"I'll hold onto your blessings, President Lane."

After working the entire day, not only was I physically exhausted, but there was also an emptiness in my heart.

In the past, Shannon would keep me company and comfort me whenever she noticed that I was in a bad

mood at the company. She had net

become an indispensable character in my life, but all those things said had pushed her away.

My loneliness had reached its peak. This might be the first time in a long time that I had to face a difficult situation alone.

However, what had been said could not be taken back. It was also the best decision and choice I could make to protect my family and friends.

"Hey, were things not busy at the company today? Why didn't you call me?"

Unexpectedly, Shannon took the initiative to give me a call. I took a deep breath and replied, "Fortunately, Nina was around. She helped me share a lot of the workload.

"You've been working hard recently. You should get some good rest."

Seeing how I was still thinking of others during this time, Shannon got mad and distressed. "Don't you know how to talk to me? Is it so embarrassing for you to call me first? "Could a relationship that developed over so many years not be important enough to weather a few angry words?"

I understood Shannon's anger even if she did not say anything. She was taking the initiative to give me an out of this situation. However, I had to say something against my will to prevent her and her family from getting hurt.

"I didn't say all those out of anger."

"Wanda, don't tell me you'll only be satisfied after pushing us all away..." Shannon said those words and ended the call angrily.
