The Woman From Hell

"Jansten Development is also a very good company. You and President Grant were too soft-hearted not to ban her. How could she get such a good job otherwise?"

Nicky's past behavior was truly disgusting and I could understand their unfriendliness toward her.

I said nothing. I just asked them to work hard and then left the office.

I wondered what was she and Theo talking about. Could they be discussing the partnership?

Time crawled by the second and minute. After estimating that it was about time, I then went to the conference room.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Sure enough, Nicky had just walked out. She wore a charming smile on her face when she saw me. "Looks like you weren't able to sit still, Director Lanel."

She was still so confident. Back when she was dealing with Theo before, her eyes had only been on him and would approach him constantly. She did not anymore now though.

I did not know if she had really let go of him or if she had some other motives.

"It's not that I couldn't sit still. I was just worried that someone is hiding something." I did not give her any face at all and just said what was in my heart.

Nicky smiled. Those red lips of hers looked coquettish as she fixed her gaze on me. "If I really had some other intentions, I would have caught President Grant in the conference room just now..."

I turned my head to the side, not wanting to hear anymore.

I heard her chuckle. "Let's stop her. I still have work to do. Goodbye."

Goodbye?

When I turned around, she had already left. The scent of her perfume was still in the air. Did Theo really tell her about the partnership?

I went to the conference room. Theo was still inside. I pushed the door open, went in, and took a seat. "How did it go? Did you tell her?"

Theo shook his head. "No, I just told her that I wanted to talk to President Jans about some things of the past. Since he didn't come, it wouldn't be good for me to talk about myself either."

"Then why did the conversation drag for so long?"

Seemingly noticing that I was jealous, Theo narrowed his eyes and approached me. "Jealous?"

I turned my head to the side and denied it. "No, just curious."

"She told me that President Jans and the CEO of YA have gotten very close recently. She also said that they intend to join forces to deal with me, but we already knew about this." Theo's tone was indifferent.

"Looks like she has no more affection for you. She told you these to make you take precautions in advance."

Theo's observant eyes were directed

at me as he said with a smile, "And you say you're not jealous. Don't worry, even if she was interested in me, I have nothing but hate for her."

"What happened after that? What else did she say?"

"She said she could go undercover at Jansten Development and provide us with intelligence."

Undercover?

I frowned, feeling a little puzzled by her behavior. "Does she have any conditions for doing this?"

"Yes. After everything is done, she wants me to transfer her to the Grant Corporation branch in Salt City to be the general manager."

This woman had a lot of ambition.

"You agreed to that?" I asked.

"No. Of course, I'd have to think over such a huge matter. Don't you think so, madam?" He suddenly changed his tone. It was instantly soft and I got goosebumps.

"Alright, alright. I'm not angry. I was just worried that she'd leak your plan after learning about it." Nicky still concerned me after all.

Theo patted my head and calmly said, "Don't worry. I have my own measures in place. It won't fall into the wrong hands."

I believed in his ability and brain, but

I was also very worried about the unforeseen circumstances that may crop up one day. There were times when people slipped up.

"Anyway, you have to be careful."

"Of course, I'll obey you, madam."
