The Woman From Hell



In the days that followed, Theo would invite different people to come to the Grant Corporation building every day. I fulfilled our agreement and asked no questions. I just watched as the myriad of people came and went every day, which made me feel a little panicky.

On this day, I was lying in bed, my head filled with thoughts about all the people who had come to Grant Corporation. I was beginning to feel more and more uneasy.

Theo seemed to notice something off with me. So, he reached his hand out and knocked me on my head. His tone of voice was teasing. "What are you thinking about, little girl?"

I got up slowly and looked at him earnestly before answering in a serious tone, "I've seen you invite all kinds of people to the company every day these days, but I don't know anything. It makes me uneasy."

"Didn't I already tell you? I'm building a team to go up against Matthew. That's why I have to invite people over." Theo put down the document in his hand and focused on comforting me.

I sighed and frowned. "Is everything really okay?"

"Everything is truly fine, don't worry."

I noted that Theo's expression was calm. His words were even calmer. It really looked like nothing bad had happened and my heart gradually eased. "Okay, that's good then. You must tell me if there's anything." I grabbed his hand, my expression stern. I was not joking with him.

Noting my seriousness, Theo also responded with a solemn expression. "Alright."

With his words, I finally eased my suspended heart and lay back on the bed. "Shannon invited me out to eat tomorrow afternoon." "Alright, it'd be good for you to go and have a chat with her too."

He tucked me in and said softly, "Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

I closed my eyes and since I felt more at peace now, I soon fell asleep. When I opened my eyes again, it was morning.

Theo had left early in the morning again. After breakfast, the driver took me to the office.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

The moment entered the door, I

saw Theo and Keith walking out. They were obviously headed out. A smile graced Theo's initially cold face when he saw me. "You're here. I'm heading off to discuss a project with Keith."

He informed me before I could even ask. I nodded and straightened up his suit for him. "Alright, go ahead. Be careful on the road." Keith, who was behind him, also nodded to me before following Theo out of the building.

Taking the elevator to my office, I threw myself into work.

It was noon in the blink of an eye and Shannon messaged me right on time. [I'm in a restaurant near your location, come quickly.] [Coming.]

I replied with a simple message. Then, I picked up my bag and went to the location she mentioned.

It was a vegetarian restaurant, which is in line with the taste of pregnant women. She was really thoughtful.

When I entered the private room,

Shannon was already waiting inside.

She greeted me and invited me to take a seat. "I've already ordered some food. You can order more later if it's not enough."

"It looks like you're recovering well."

Shannon had gained a lot of weight when she was pregnant, but now she has lost most of it. Her complexion was quite ruddy but she looked like she was in good spirits.

She raised her head proudly. "That's

right, I hired a fitness coach. It's not bad. I'introduce you to that coach after you've given birth. They're really good."

"Alright."

"But I think you're still very thin now, does Theo not take good care of you?" Shannon asked this after looking at me for a while.

I waved my hand. "No, it's just that there have been a lot of things going on recently. I'm also prone to overthinking so I didn't take care of myself."

"How can you do that? The biggest taboo for pregnant women is overthinking. You, it's better for you to stop working and stay at home.
