The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1848

Chapter 1848



The entirety of Grant Corporation had been striving for the artificial intelligence project during this time.

Late that night, Theo was still working overtime in the office. It was the rare time that I did not go home first either as I remained in the department to help with things that were within my ability.

I looked up at everyone else. Some were lying on the table and some were already drowsy. They would wake each other up and drink coffee to refresh themselves.

They were all so tired, Theo even more so.

Thinking about this, I decided to make a strong cup of tea for him, but when I was standing at the door, I heard a voice inside.

"President Grant, please proofread this data."

It was Nicky's voice. Instead of entering immediately, I stood by and looked at everything that was going on inside through the glass door.

Nicky was sitting next to Theo, perhaps for the ease of passing the documents. After reading through a document, Nicky would hand it over to Theo when she needed him to check it.

The two cooperated tacitly, and seeing this, my heart soured.

They looked so right like this. One was handsome, while the other was beautiful. Both their strengths were equal, and I could not do anything but the little things.

I lowered my gaze. With a sigh, I prepared to leave.

The moment I turned around, I happened to meet Keith who was just about to enter the office. He saw me and said hello to me. " Madam, why didn't you go in after coming here?"

"I..." I scratched my ear with one hand and glanced at the scene inside. They were working, so I did not want to bother them. Thinking of this, I handed the brewed tea to Keith. "Keith, I just recalled that I have something to attend to. Please bring this cup of tea in for me."

"Oh, okay."

After Keith accepted it, I hurriedly left.

After leaving his office, I went back to the villa first.

The scene from just now appeared frequently in my mind. I tossed and turned, then picked up my phone and checked the time. It was one o'clock, but they still had not come back.

I sat up and propped myself up on the bed with both hands as I completely fell into deep thought.

Just then, the room door pushed open.

When I heard the sound, I hurriedly lay down and pretended to be asleep.

Footsteps sounded in my ears. He

first covered me with the blanket,

then left a kiss on my forehead.

There seemed to be a smile on the

corner of his lips. "You're a full -grown adult. Why are you pretending to be asleep?"

Opening my eyes, I saw Theo and his face that was filled with exhaustion. Yet, he was still smiling when he tooked at me. I sat up and said, "I didn't manage to fall asleep. Why did you only just come back? Did Nicky come back with you?" "She came back earlier than me. Didn't you hear anything?"

The moment I heard that Theo was not with Nicky, I instantly felt bountiful joy. Looking at him, I smiled a little. "Are you hungry? Or should you go take a shower first and I'll cook you some noodles?"

"I'll be troubling you then, Madam." His voice was a little hoarse, perhaps tired.

'Then, I'll be off. You go shower first."

I hurried downstairs to make him noodles. There were still eggs and vegetables in the fridge. I put them together and brought the piping hot noodles upstairs to the room only to see Theo already lying on the bed.

He seemed to already be asleep. I could see his chest rise and fall evenly with his breathing.

Putting the noodles down, I walked up and looked at his sleeping visage. I could not help caressing it. He must have been working so hard during this time.

Perhaps he was woken up by my touch, so Theo grabbed my hand and opened his eyes. I smile. "The noodles are done. Do you still want them?" "Madam made them, so of course."

I pulled him up, then sat in front of the table at the side. "Eat them while they're hot." Being in this situation, I suddenly felt wonderful. I thought that this was how peace was...
