The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1769

Chapter 1769



That night, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.

Theo was still working overtime in the study, so I did not bother him.

Recalling Nicky's attitude toward Theo at the dinner table today, as well as what Caroline said yesterday when she was testing her, my emotions for thrown in for a loop. Nicky's eyes had indeed been focused on Theo when I met her for the first time.

Unable to remain indifferent, I put on a coat and left the room, making my way to the guest room.

Through the crack of the door at the bottom, I noticed that the light was still on inside. Nicky had not gone to sleep yet, so I knocked on the door.

The sounds of footsteps sounded from the inside, and Nicky came over to open the door. When she saw that it was me, a smile appeared on her calm face. "Wanda, it's already so late. Why are you here?"

"There is something I want to ask you," I said bluntly.

"Come in."

Entering the room, I caught a glimpse of the company documents on her bed. "I'm sorry, did I disturb you? You must still be busy with company work."

Nicky cleaned up the documents and put them on the table before waving to me. "It's nothing, just a small matter. Don't you have something to tell me?"

"Well, I do have something I want to talk about." I took a seat, and although I was a little confused, I still said, "It may be a bit presumptuous for me to ask this, but if I don't, I'll definitely lose sleep and be displeased deep down. My thoughts will even start running wild. If you find it conflicts with you or you feel uncomfortable, you can choose not to answer."

After listening to my foreshadowing speech, Nicky was even more confused, but she still replied with a smile, "Okay, I think I'll answer you if you ask."

I grabbed my hand and pursed my

lower lip. I trusted that she could see

my nervousness, but I could not restrain myself. "I actually heard what you said when Caroline was helping you change your bandages the day before yesterday. You joined Grant Corporation because of Theo, yes?"

I stared straight at Nicky, trying to capture all her expressions and movements.

After hearing my question, Nicky did not respond. However, I think I got my answer from her eyes.

"I can't think of anything other than familial love, the love of friendship, and romantic love that can make someone give up the opportunity to go abroad and come back here." looked at her. I did not know what I was feeling in my heart at the moment. However, I did not want to

lose this friendship that finally got

just like that. That was why I wanted to ask. It was why I was here

tonight.

I noticed that Nicky's expression had changed slightly. I saw how her smiling expression at the start had vanished midway and how it was calm now. The answer was obvious.

"I see." I stood up, ready to leave.

Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed me, and Nicky also got up. "Wanda, I really want you as a friend. That's why I haven't confessed it to you. Yes, I like him, but if I say I'll never compete with you, will you believe me?"

Never, huh...

I shook my head. "I don't know if I should believe it."

Nicky sat down in front of me slowly. "I learned of Theo's name a long time ago. Five years ago, I had just graduated from graduate school and joined a big company abroad..."
