The Woman From Hell
Chapter 721

Chapter 721

The new caretaker went out this morning to line up and bought several boxes of pastries. I took two boxes and went out.

I drove to Munchkin's kindergarten first, passed the pastries to the security guards, and asked them to deliver the pastries to Munchkin. Then, I went to Grant Corporation.

This was my first time visiting Grant Corporation after returning to Whaldorf City.

Three years ago, Grant Corporation was still a small enterprise in Whaldorf City. There was still no sign hung up on the office building, but there was one now. This showed that the whole building now belonged to Grant Corporation. Its scale was much bigger than it was three years ago.

The sky was just a little cloudy when I first went out the door, but it was now completely cloudy.

I checked the weather forecast with my phone and it showed that thunderstorms were forecasted at this time.

Wasting no time, I found a parking spot and parked m y car. I got out of the car to run inside Grant Corporation.

When I was nearly at the entrance, the rain poured down and a lightning bolt cut through the sky.

My body stiffened. When I ran into Grant Corporation, my heart was already pounding very quickly.

After calming down for a few seconds, I pulled out my phone to give Theo a call.

The call connected immediately and the man's anxious voice was heard, "Are you in the room, Wanda?"

I was stunned.

A few more thunderstorms hit at this moment and Theo urgently said, "Go to the living room and ask the servants to stay there with you. I’ll be home at once."

"Mr. Grant, Mr. Roffe is-"

Theo said in a deep voice, "Ask him to wait."

I had yet to come back to my senses and asked dazedly, "Why are you coming home?"

The sound of thunder rang out again and his warm voice was heard from the phone, "To keep you company, of course."

I finally came back to my senses now. He remembered that I was afraid of thunder.

However, there were often thunderstorms like this in Zenon. As I raised Munchkin alone, I had long overcome the fear of thunder.

I spoke in a hoarse voice, "Theo, don't rush back. I'm just downstairs at your company."

As soon as I said that, the sound of rushed footsteps was heard from behind.

I turned around to look and Theo was standing behind me.

The man had a dashing appearance and stood out in the crowd.

I put my phone away and threw myself into his arms." I'm not that scared of thunder anymore."

I felt bittersweet when I saw how worried he was.

He held me in a tight embrace, his breathing a little erratic. "You're still a little afraid, aren't you?"

I pursed my lips, not saying a word.

This man truly cared about me now.

After regulating my breathing, I immediately felt awkward. I got emotional for a while and jumped into his arms, forgetting that there were people coming and going. That must have captured many people’s attention.

Sensing the probing eyes around us, I felt my cheeks burning. "I was tired of reading and wanted to go out for a walk. The caretaker happened to buy some pastries that are popular recently so I brought them over to you."

A smile crept up his eyes as he lifted his hand to tuck the loose strands of hair behind my ear. "Let's go upstairs and eat."

I got into the elevator with him in public and could not help but sigh in my heart. I guess Grant Corporation’s employees would have a lot to gossip about today.

When we stepped out of the elevator, Keith rushed over at lightning speed.

Theo raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong?"
