The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1704



As Theo pushed the door and entered, he had one hand in his pocket. He looked somewhat imposing

When I saw him, my face was calm, but it was not the case for Ruby, who was at the side. A sense of panic flashed across her delicate face, but she quickly calmed down.

She pulled on me and smiled. "I was just persuading Young Madam to head home and get some rest, President Grant. She's pregnant, after all. It would be bad if she were to fall. Don't you think so?"

'Women are truly fickle mammals.' I chuckled secretly in my heart.

Theo pulled me over to one side of the sofa and sat me down. He helped me brush the messy hair on the side of my ear. "That's

theoretically the case."

His movements were so gentle, and I could clearly feel the pent-up anger inside Ruby at the moment. Nheless, she could only control herself and maintain her elegant image.

For a moment, I suddenly thought that whether it was Ruby or the former Cindy, they must have had it rough.

"If there isn't anything else, you may head out. I'd like to be alone with my wife."

Ever since Theo came in, his gaze had been stuck on me. So much so that he barely glanced at Ruby.

Furthermore, after listening to his words, Ruby's face became even more distorted. Even so, she still smiled and said, "Didn't we agree to have lunch together, President Grant? We were going to discuss the Al project."

While playing around with my hair, Theo responded casually, "Yeah, but my wife's here now, so we'll talk in the afternoon.

You have to eat too, don't you?"

The rhetorical question had Ruby completely stumped for words. She did not have the gall to say anything else. She had to compromise and leave the office. Before leaving, she glanced at me. The unwillingness in her eyes was thoroughly seen by me.

After she left, I patted Theo's hand away." You just have to get me another enemy every day, don't you?"

"That's an unjust accusation. How could you say that?" The man smiled, his face looking innocent.

His usually indifferent and handsome face was showing such an expression toward me right now. If one did not see it with their own eyes, they probably would not believe it.

"Ruby's feelings for you are

table she had just filled with food, and turned back around." She even meticulously prepared a sumptuous lunch for you. Is your heart made of stone, President Grant?"

Theo walked over slowly and leaned closer to me. "If my heart's made of stone, how could I be so warm toward you? There's countless fish in the sea, but I'll only have one."

His sudden deep affection warmed

my heart, and snorted. "When did you learn to be so mushy?" "The moment met you.' Theo was being too flirtatious that I was powerless in refuting. I quickly changed the subject. "Ms. Brook has prepared a scrumptious lunch. Dig in

Theo gazed at the lunch box I brought over at the corner of the table. He reached out and took it. "It doesn't matter how luxurious hers seems. It's not going to be as good as my missus'. I'll eat this one instead."

He opened the lunch box, and a delicious scent wafted out onto his face. Theo nodded with satisfaction. "Smells scrumptious."

As he was eating, he was continuously showering me with praise. I was indeed over the moon about it. “Alright, alright, but let's not waste what she's prepared as well." "Only if you'll eat it with me, Mrs. Grant.

'Okay.

I knew that he was worried about me being uncomfortable, hence he made such a proposal.

I had to admit that Ruby's cooking skills were not half-bad.

Theo and I quickly finished off the lunch boxes, and I was getting ready to leave. "I'll send you off."

"Mm," I replied softly and went down the elevator with Theo's company.

When we got to Grant Corporation's lobby, Theo urged, "Tell the driver to drive slower."

"I got it."

Just when we were reluctant to part ways, there was suddenly a burst of clamor coming from outside the door. "Wanda Lane, you murderer!"
