The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2003

To prevent Munchkin from witnessing the strange situation between Theo and me, I asked him to stay in school this weekend with the excuse that we were both on a business trip and could not take care of him.

He could only compromise whether he liked it or not.

Hanging up the phone, I sighed.

I still had not figured out how to tell Munchkin about this for the time being and could only hide it for a while.

Having probably overheard my conversation with Munchkin, Marius slumped on the sofa in the living room before opening his eyes to look at me. "You can only hide it for a while more, but for the rest of your life? Do you want Munchkin to spend every week in school?"

I also went over and took a seat while shaking my head helplessly. "If I can hide it for even a day more, I'll take it. I'm still thinking about how to tell him."

It was early morning, but Marius did not have an ounce of energy. His eyelids would droop from time to time.

My eyes were fixed on him, and I was a little puzzled. "You're so sluggish. Did you have a good time last night?"

He had closed his eyes and was resting. He did not open them to look at me. He reached out to me with his long arm and snapped his fingers in front of me. "That's right."

"You don't have much to do anyway, so why don't you sleep more?"

This was the advantage of being self-employed. As long as the company developed steadily, the boss could do whatever they wanted. I suddenly got the idea of starting a company of my own.

Although the previous Nectarine Entertainment was created by Theo for Cindy, I was the one who took care of it. Entertainment companies were a little complicated. I wondered if other industries would be better.

I approached Marius and patted him. "Marius, Marius?"

Seeing that he still had his eyes closed, I thought he was asleep, so I called out to him a few more times.

"I'm awake. Are you trying to wake the dead?" Marius opened his eyes reluctantly and tilted his head to look at me. He was a little surprised to see me sitting so close. "Why are you so close all of a sudden? Could it be that you've noticed my handsome looks?"

This

person would just sing praises for himself the entire time.

I pursed my lips and did not respond to his words. "Is it difficult to start a business?"

Hearing this, Marius was instantly energized, and his eyes seemed to be glowing. "Do you have an idea?"

I nodded without hiding anything. "After what happened, I think women must have their own careers. I've saved up a lot of money, so it should be enough. But I wanted to ask you since you've been through this. You can give me some pointers."

Marius straightened his body.

Readjusting his clothes, he twiddled

his hair and posed like some

veteran. "Pointers, eh? There's much to say. As someone who has done it, I have to remind you that the initial е stage of starting a business is difficult, and it's a possibility that you might not be able to tide through it. If you can't make it through, you'll have to declare bankruptcy. But if you can and the company is on the right track, then you'll be fine just like me, you know?"

He still had a proud expression on his face, and there was some pride in his eyes.

Yes, he was quite proud. His company was not doing badly, after all.

"It's really not easy to start a business. What industry do you think is promising now?" Although it was difficult, I still wanted to try it.

He held his chin. "Every industry will

have a bonus period for a period of time. Once that stage is over, it'll go downhill, but it might also rise again later. I've only ever dabbled in

investment and the financiel

industries. I haven't really

ynov

researched the others much."

If this were the case, I might as well not have asked him in the first place.

I pursed my lips and nodded. "Okay, I get it. I shouldn't have asked you."

Seeing the sudden change in my attitude, Marius frowned. "What a realistic woman."

The next moment, the sound of someone coming downstairs reached my ears. It was Drover who came down...
