The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1778

Chapter 1778



After yesterday's event, I woke up somewhat late. Once I washed up and went downstairs, I saw that Nicky was ready to go out. "Wait for me."

I drank the juice from the table, grabbed a sandwich, and went out with Nicky.

She was still as gentle and refined as before as if everything was peaceful. Even when she had injuries on her hands and forehead, she did not seem to care.

Nicky turned her head and glanced at me, then looked straight ahead. She slowly said, "Actually, there's no need for you to hurry. I can get a cab."

I smiled at her, and after I got into the car with her, I said, "If I go any later, I'll be late for work. Even I can't break the rules."

I had always been disciplined, so I naturally would not be late nor leave early because of my identity. One had to abide by some rules. Plus, I did not want Theo to be placed in a difficult spot because of me.

Nicky responded to me lightly and no longer said anything else. I glanced at the wounds on her forehead and arm. Seeing that the gauze on her forehead had been changed and medicine had been applied on her hands, I felt more relieved.

As soon as we arrived at Grant Corporation, I received a text from Theo. He had found out about Nicky's birthday, and it was just after the film festival.

It was perfect.

I sat on my seat with a big smile on my face and started the day.

Since the film festival was approaching, everyone was working hard and throwing themselves into work. Even Theo worked overtime until late tonight. I was sitting on the sofa, waiting for him to come back, but I fell asleep unknowingly. When I woke up, I discovered that I was already in bed. There was the sound of water flowing coming from the bathroom. If he was just taking a bath, it probably had not been long since he came home. I just stayed on the bed with my eyes closed and waited for him to come out.

The sound of water running stopped, and after a short while, a whiff of fragrance assaulted my nostrils. I rolled over to hug him and opened my eyes with a smile.

Theo looked at me dotingly and scratched my nose. "When did you wake up?"

"Not long ago. You must be tired. Why don't I give you a massage?"

"It's rare for you to offer. Of course." He stood up after saying this.

I went behind him and squeezed his shoulders. "Is this alright?”

"Yes."

Theo seemed to be enjoying himself. He closed his eyes and enjoyed my massage.

"Is the preparation almost complete?"

"Almost. The day after tomorrow will be the film festival. We'll have to do everything well without making any mistakes tomorrow." Although his voice was light, there was a lot of hidden strength.

This was the first time Grant Corporation was promoting something related to artificial intelligence, which was why he placed great importance on it.

He wanted to make an important mark. As long as the film festival was successful, it would be worthwhile for him to do this project.

I could not help him much at his work, but I would always support him behind his back.

"I believe that it'll be successful," I said firmly.

Hearing the tone in my voice, there seemed to be a smirk on the corners of his lips. " Since my wifey said that it'll be a success, it'll surely be a success."

"Do you think I'm some fortune teller? That everything I said will come true?" I smiled and squeezed his shoulder harder.

"Alright, alright. Enough with the massage.'

He took my hands down and rubbed his shoulders Perhaps I had used too much force earlier, and it caused him some pain. However, he placed his hands down after a short while. "There are personnel restrictions at the film festival the day after tomorrow, so I can't let you tag along.'

Although I felt that it was regretful hearing him say that, I was not upset over it. That's alright. There's a live broadcast anyway. I'll watch it at home and prepare a feast for you while I wait for you to come home."

"Okay. Be a good girl and wait for me at home."

Afterward, Theo left a light kiss on my forehead...
