The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1403

This girl was simply too creepy. Meeting her gaze had given me chills.

I quickly withdrew my gaze and stopped looking at her.

Elena had already gotten on stage to perform an analysis. It would mean the world for any company to reach a cooperation with a large company like Grant Corporation. All companies wanted to be picked, but Grant Corporation would only pick one in the end.

Elena focused mainly on big companies, so she merely analyzed the proposal of big companies and eventually chose the company of William's wife.

She was a great worker, and in order to show his recognition of her work ability, Theo had basically handed the entire project to Elena.

Therefore, Theo did not say anything when she eventually picked the company of William's wife.

When the bidding session was over, Elena and Theo had something to talk about. I had nothing to do, so I wandered around the ballroom instead. The creepy girl was standing at the entrance of the ballroom, staring blankly at the painting on the wall.

Humans had the instinct to avoid harm. I subconsciously avoided her when I saw her.

I did not want to approach such a girl.

There were too many things about her that I was familiar with yet refused to face.

As I turned around, the girl suddenly called out to me. "I thought you'd talk to me."

I hesitated for a moment before turning around and gazing into her dark, bottomless eyes. I said faintly, "Business isn't for you."

She nodded. "I know."

I pursed my lips, my gaze falling on the painting behind her.

This painting must have been hanging here for a long time as dust could be seen on the edge of the frame. The workers here rarely wiped it. The painting looked vivid, symbolizing the beauty of life. "You like this painting?" I asked.

I did not like vivid paintings like that. Maybe it was because I was in the dark and often saw the dark.

"Yes." She turned to look at the painting. "I love vivid colors.

The complete opposite of me.

"Do you work at Grant Corporation?"

I nodded. "Yes."

The girl hummed softly. "The one sitting next to you just now must be your husband. He seems to love you very much."

"Indeed."

After a long silence, I said, "You know that business isn't for you, so why don't you do things that you like doing instead? The things that can truly heal us in this world are things that we enjoy doing." The girl smiled but made no reply.

At this moment, Theo and Elena were done talking and walked out. Seeing me talking to the girl, Theo frowned slightly, feeling a little surprised.

The girl glanced at him and left without saying a word.

I watched her leave. Theo walked up to me and asked, "Do you know her?"
