The Woman From Hell



Seeing my expression, Cindy glanced at Theo before her gaze fell on me again. There was a playfulness in her voice. "Theowy, your wife seems to be very interested in other men. Aren't you jealous?"

Hearing this, Theo's gaze also turned to me. A small smile tugged the corners of his lips. "I believe in Wanda. I also believe in myself."

He was showing his trust in me but also praising his own strength.

Cindy gave us a thumbs-up and pouted. "You guys are amazing. Still, it has been tough on you guys. If anything had gone wrong in any way, things would have been serious."

I nodded, not denying the hardships of this process. Even now, I get scared thinking about it. "Yeah, I hope we won't have to go through any more turmoil in the future. Alright, let's stop talking about this. Congratulations in advance."

"My parents are gone so Theowy will have to attend as my elder." Cindy's gaze on Theo was no longer possessive now. It had been replaced by the warmth and respect for an elder.

Theo simply nodded and agreed. "Of course."Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I offended my sister-in-law plenty of times before this. I'm here today to apologize. I hope you won't mind, Wanda." Zedd picked up his glass and apologized for his past behavior.

I knew that he had a bone to pick with me because of Cindy but I have long since let it go. "Don't worry, I have long forgotten about it."

"That's good."

That noon, the four of us completely resolved the misunderstandings of our past.

After eating our meals, Zedd and Cindy went home to rest, while Theo and I went back to the office.

The moment we arrived at the Grant Corporation building, we bumped into someone who we should be bumping into in the hall downstairs. "Nicky..." I whispered.

Why was she here?

Seeing us, Nicky strode toward us with a smile. She then fished out a business card. "Long time no see. Director Jans is the one who asked me togome here. Didn't President Grant make an appointment with him?" .

Theo accepted the business card. Printed on it were the large words, 'Jansten Development Project Manager.' It was even gold lined.

It turned out Nicky had joined Jansten Development as a project manager.

"President Jans has something to do this afternoon and couldn't

attend. However, he places great importance on this partnership with President Grant so he requested me to come and discuss with you in his stead."

Looking at the smile on her face, my heart became more and more uneasy. I whispered to Theo, "Why don't you give up Jansten Development? Nicky is there, it's not safe."

"Well, I have my plans," Theo replied to me first before looking at Nicky. "Miss Doyle, please come with me."

Theo took her into the conference room, and I went back to the department.

The moment I entered through the door, I was surrounded by a few individuals. "Director Lane, I just saw Nicky. My eyes aren't deceiving me, right?"

"Yeah, yeah. I saw her too, Why is she back again? Is there some sort of a conspiracy again?"

"Although outsiders aren't aware of the things she did, all of our internal staff know. Isn't it too overt for her to appear so confidently?"

Their discussions went in my left ear and out the right. I was only worried now that Theo's plan would be exposed.

"Director Lane, why aren't you saying anything?"

Someone prodded me and I came back to my senses. "Nicky joined Jansten Development. President Jans sent her here."
