The Woman From Hell

Chapter 722

The words 'it's urgent' were almost written all over his face. I could not contain my laughter.

It was rare to see a new expression on his face.

"Mr. Grant, Mr. Roffe used to be quite good-tempered but something must have gotten to him today because he kept yelling and asking to see you immediately," Keith said.

I already knew that Theo had things to do when I called him earlier. I looked at him and said with a smile, "I'll wait for you in the lounge."

He looked sideways at the cloudy sky. The dark clouds had dispersed and it was only drizzling now.

He clenched my hand. "I’ll ask the secretary to take you there."

After a pause, he continued, "I'll finish my work quickly and be with you."

I smiled. "There’s no rush."

The secretary took me to the lounge. It was no wonder she was Theo's secretary. She did not look at me with an inquiring gaze and simply served me like a normal guest.

I pulled out my phone and started watching short

video clips. After about five minutes, Keith came into the lounge with a bag. "The secretary's office is full of women so there are a lot of snacks around. You can eat them while you wait, Mrs. Grant."

It was not my illusion. He was indeed not as inflexible as he used to be.

I took the bag from him and opened it up to see a full range of snacks in it. If Munchkin were around, he would surely jump with joy.

I was not too keen on snacks, so I opened a bag of potato chips and stopped eating after I ate a few.

Theo came back and saw that I had only eaten a bag. I said with a smile, "You don’t like these snacks?"

I shook my head. "Mainly because I'm not hungry yet."

"What pastries are they that you had to personally bring them t me?" Theo sat down beside me and put his arm around my shoulders.

I opened the box of pastries, "There's a very popular pastry shop recently. You need to queue up and everything is always sold out before noon."

Theo raised his eyebrows. "They do look pretty appetizing."

"I haven't tried them before either." I shrugged. "I'm not sure what they taste like."

Theo smiled and picked up a fork.

He put it in his mouth and commented, "It does taste

pretty good."

Having said that, he kissed my lips.

I was stunned.

There was sweetness in my mouth. It did... taste pretty good.

Theo let go of me. "I have a meeting that's starting soon. If you're bored, then I'll get the driver to take you back."

If I stayed here, Theo would definitely be in a rush to end the meeting. Not wanting to disturb him at work, I said, "I drove here. I'll stay here until Munchkin finishes school and then pick him up."

He nodded and kissed me on the forehead. "TH go home earlier to be with you tonight."

Honeyed words were not a requirement to pave the way for a couple. Over time, love would become embedded in details. Mutual understanding and care a s well as mutual tolerance could go a long way. It was only then would a couple last till the end.

A heated argument and a loud parting would inevitably turn into a tragic memory in one's old age.

Theo was probably too exhausted, so he fell asleep while embracing me. He was leaning against the sofa.

Keith knocked on the door and walked in. Seeing that Theo had fallen asleep, he was momentarily at a loss a t what to do.

I felt sorry for Theo and whispered to him, "Can you delay the meeting for a while?”

He shook his head. "It's a very important meeting. Mr. Lynch is already here."

I frowned. "Mason Lynch?”

He nodded.

Did they not say that he had gone to other cities to develop his career?

Was he still handling any of the jobs in Grant Corporation?
