The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1302

This did not seem like the first time the secretary had been asked this question, so she answered with great fluency, "Mr.

Grant said we can't put them because his wife doesn't like it. There was once a bold secretary who placed a lot of plants in the office and it made Mrs. Grant really mad, so you don't see any plants in Mr. Grant's office all year round."

The bold secretary she was referring to must be Nadia.

Theo had not moved to Whaldorf City at the time, and Nadia was his secretary for a period of time.

She placed plenty of plants in Theo's office. As I was aware of her malicious intentions, I had an argument with Theo at the time. I was surprised that Theo still remembered that incident and continued to not have plants in his office even until now.

After a few minutes, the office door opened and Theo walked in.

I stood up from the sofa. When I saw him looking at me with smiling eyes, I said a little awkwardly, "My mom said you left in such a hurry, so she didn't ask you to stay for lunch and told me to bring you lunch instead."

Theo merely nodded without a word.

He glanced at the lunch boxes on the coffee table and then at me.

I did not know what else to say and was a little awkward.

"How am I supposed to finish two sets alone?" Theo tried to help me feel less awkward.

Although I knew that I was wrong, I found it a little difficult to put down my pride after having just argued with him earlier.

I pursed my lips and mildly said, "If you can finish it, then go ahead. I'm not very hungry anyway."

Theo did not say anything and sat on the sofa. He opened the two lunch boxes.

Seeing that the two sets were the same, he took both of them out and said to me, "Eat!"

I pursed my lips. "I'm not very hungry. You should eat it."

Theo frowned. "Am I a pig to you?"

Even though he was a man and had a much larger appetite than women, he would not be able to finish two sets of lunch.

What was this if not feeding a pig?

I scratched my chin and sat on the sofa, picking up my cutleries.

We ate in silence, neither of us saying a word.

In the end, I took the initiative to say, "I'm sorry, Theo."

I did not look at him and stared at the food the whole time.

My sudden apology left Theo stunned.

After coming back to his senses, he mildly said, "Okay."

He said one word and nothing else.

I frowned, a little displeased by his perfunctory response. It was not easy for me to take the initiative to apologize, but he only responded with one word. Did he not know that it would make me really awkward? After waiting for a long time and seeing that he did not plan to say anything, I sighed. I did not know whether I should get mad.

After eating, he looked at me and asked," Come home with me tonight?"

Although it was just a question, it did not sound like I had an option to refuse.

I thought about it. Instead of directly refusing him, I said, "I just came back and want to spend some time with them. When I nearly died in the morgue previously, I thought to myself that if the heavens gave me one more chance to live, I'd mend our relationship and spend my time with them. I'd tell them how much I love them." I continued after a pause, "I'm just an ordinary person who wants to enjoy the love of my parents just like other ordinary girls. I believe you understand."

Theo looked at me with deep and profound eyes. After a long time, he said, "I understand, but don't leave me tormented for too long."

He used 'tormented' instead of waiting because tormented was way more agonizing than waiting.
