The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1681

Chapter 1681

“President Grant and President Lane seem so close.”

"That’s right. Would anyone still believe they used to be a fake couple who couldn't stand each other if they go out into public like this?”

"Exactly. Back then, President Grant..."

They stopped speaking, and I thought it was because Theo had given the talkative employee a warning glare. However, when I looked up, I saw that he was still staring at me flirtatiously as if he had not heard what they said.

When I turned around, I realized that Cindy was there.

It was the afternoon rush hour, which meant more and more people were walking over to take the escalator. They all had curious expressions when they saw Theo and me, but they immediately hid the giddy smiles on their faces after they came closer and saw Cindy.

This time, I shoved Theo away despite his reluctance. However, I was no match for him in terms of strength and had no choice but to continue allowing him to hug me.

When he noticed me staring awkwardly at a spot behind me, he also turned around to look. His reaction when he saw Cindy was not as exaggerated as mine was. However, he still seemed stunned as if he had not expected this to happen. His lips curled upward slightly in a polite greeting.

When he turned back around, the group of people standing behind us began talking among themselves softly as they could no longer hold back their excitement.

"President Lane is amazing. She even managed to seduce President Grant, who's such a prodigal son."

"I've said this before, but President Lane is gorgeous. Look at her. She's pregnant now, but she still seems so feminine. Are there any other women who would be able to do that?’’

A layer of sweat formed on my scalp when I heard that. I was tempted to take the stairs when I saw how slowly the elevator was descending.

Initially, I was worried that the group of women in the entertainment industry would begin discussing Cindy and Theo’s past after witnessing the incident.

The parties involved did not mind since it was something that had happened in the past. However, it would still be awkward having to hear others discuss it.

I did not expect them to end up discussing my figure!

I had suddenly become the person in an awkward situation without having the chance to prepare myself beforehand.

The elevator finally arrived with a ding. I hurriedly strode in, and Theo was quick to follow me. His face was angled so that the others could not see him, and there was an evil grin on it.

I was so angry that I pinched his waist. He hissed in pain but could not express it on his face as it would not be appropriate.

Hmph! Served him right.

After all that fuss, I had not even noticed that no one else had entered the elevator after us. I only noticed that the elevator was still empty when the doors were about to close.

"Aren’t you guys coming in?”

"We're waiting for the rest of our colleagues, President Lane and President Grant. You may go ahead."

I glanced through the group and noted that no one seemed interested in coming in. When my gaze finally landed on Cindy, she was not shy to give me a disdainful look.

Come to think of it, it made sense. Things would only become even more awkward if anyone else came in, so I did not insist any longer.

The doors slowly slid shut. I had just heaved a sigh of relief when Theo sidled up to me.

’You pinched me.

I replied nonchalantly, "I know. It was your fault for grinning so evilly."

I pretended to be upset so I could conceal my embarrassment.

"So, do you know what my smile meant?"

I did not understand what he was trying to say until he came closer and let me feel his throbbing lower parts.

"Stop messing around. We're in the company now," I said as I turned my head the other way to avoid looking at him directly.

"This is my company."

A passionate kiss landed on my lips the minute he finished speaking...
