The Woman From Hell

"Tidied up?" I unconsciously voiced out.

Rooney caught this and answered me without trying to hide anything, "Yes. Chairman Yard probably isn't going to come back and just settle abroad. That's why it's getting tidied up."

"I see." I looked at the people coming and going upstairs, doubt filling me.

I had wanted to get some more information from Rooney but then Sylvester appeared. "I've looked through the project. It's not bad. I'll go to Grant Corporation tomorrow and hash out the details with President Grant." That sounded like he was chasing me away.

Could Sylvester really be hiding something?

So as to not arouse suspicion, I smiled and replied, "Alright then. I'll take my leave first now. I won't disturb you two anymore."

Just when I was about to leave, Rooney grabbed hold of me. "Sylvester, I haven't talked to anyone for so many days. Finally, another girl comes over, so why don't you let her stay a bit more to keep me company?" Sylvester glanced at me before looking back at Rooney. "Alright, as you like. President Lane, do stay back and keep my girlfriend company, then. Is that alright with you?"

"If you're not against it, then of course."

I was afraid he did not want me around.

Rooney wrapped herself around my arm happily and walked us inside. "Can I call you Wanda?"

"Sure."

"That's great! Sylvester has been so busy after I moved in that he doesn't even have time to accompany me. Finally, I have someone to chat with. Let's go. I'll take you to go see my room." Rooney did not seem like she was scheming anything at all. She looked just like a young woman.

Although she looked very beautiful, she was probably still young and very simple.

Rooney's room was like herself, filled with femininity. There were pink details everywhere, and the luxurious princess bed was what surprised me the most.

"Sylvester prepared it for me. Isn't it pretty?"

"Yes. It's really beautiful."

All girls most probably aspired to have such a princess bed. it looked really beautiful.

Sylvester was very nice to Rooney and obedient to what she said.

"You look very young."

"I'm not young anymore. It'll be my 19th birthday next month."

She looked just like a flower at the age of 19, beautiful and lively.

"Then I'm much older than you."

"Don't say that. If you're old, then what about Sylvester?" Rooney covered her mouth and chuckled when she said that.

"Have you known Sylvester for long?"

Rooney tilted her head in thought. " met him when I was 15. It's been more than three years, and we've

been together for two year we'veNôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

I did not expect Sylvester to like such a young girl.

Rooney was really so beautiful, though. Even a woman like me would fall for her charm.

This was probably the reason why Silas disliked her so much. She was fatale, and he was worried

a

that Sylvester would be affected by her.

A bumping sound pulled me back. looked back at the door. The people who had been moving stuff had accidentally bumped into the wall and made a noise.

I glanced out. "There are quite a few things."

"They're bound to accumulate after living here for so long."

Rooney seemed to understand Silas very well. Perhaps Sylvester had brought her over before and she had interacted with him.

"Sit here first. I'll just be going to the bathroom." Rooney closed the bathroom door right after she said that.

This was a great opportunity.

I stepped out of her room and pretended to watch the people as they moved the things before inching closer to my mother's room. Then, I arrived.

Stopping, I looked around. I should probably enter now...
