The Woman From Hell
Chapter 101

Chapter 101

"I didn't sleep with him." I hastily waved my hands. " That day, I had to get up early to catch myflight, so I was really tired. After I got to the hotel, I rested for a while. Xander was in the living roomreading the script the entire time. Nothing happened. Did you call because..."

"Enough. Do you think that I'll believe you?" He interrupted me and looked at me coldly beforeburying his head back into his work. He continued what he was doing.

"Theo, even murderers have a chance to plead their case. You should at least listen to what I haveto say." I propped my hands on the desk and was not about to give up my chance to explain myself.

He looked up and raised his eyebrows at me. The cold look on his face only grew colder. "It's officehours. You shouldn’t discuss personal matters with me right now, President Lane. Thespokesperson is fully your responsibility. This situation will definitely have an impact on thecompany, so you’d better replace a way to solve it. Otherwise..."

After that, he did not continue anymore, but I knew that it was something bad.

"Theo..." I still did not want to give up.

"Wanda! Are you deaf or are you deliberately defying m e?" He raised his voice that was tinged withanger. " You've been an employee here long enough to understand the principles. Don’t you knowthat it’s inappropriate to come to your boss’ office to talk about personal matters during office hours?Get out of my office right now."

I stood there without moving, shamelessly pretending not to hear what he said.

He glared at me and spoke loudly, "Keith!"

Soon, Keith came in and looked at me as he said politely, "President Lane, President Grant has ameeting soon. Could you please come back another time?"

Keith spoke so politely and formally that I could not replace a reason to refute.

I initially wanted to pretend not to hear him, but Keith was standing in front of me with his hands out,signaling me to leave while staring straight at me.

I had no choice but to leave resentfully. Before I left, I said to Theo, "President Grant, I'll be waitingfor you outside your door. I hope that you can spare some of your precious time to talk to me afteryou're done."

The chill Theo's body exuded intensified and he ignored me.

I left Theo's office and sat outside in the break room. I refused to leave.

Keith could not do anything about it and turned around to go about his work.

Although the trending news on Google was very important, Xander said that he would handle it, sothe only thing I could do was wait. There were only two things one could do about entertainmentnews like that. One was to wait for a bigger and hotter story to come out, and the other was to waituntil it slowly died down and was forgotten.

The most important thing right now was to get Theo's forgiveness. There was nothing else I coulddo. It was my fault for causing this to happen.

I could not sleep the entire night yesterday, so I was tired and sleepy now. After sitting and waitingfor a while, I fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already lunchtime. I stood up and walked toward Theo's office, ready tohave lunch with him.

"President Lane, President Grant left the office to do something and won't be back for the entireafternoon," Keith said with a straight face.

I...

I knew Theo was doing it on purpose and there was nothing I could do about it.

I had no choice but to go back to my office and stay there drowsily until working hours were over.After that, I grabbed my bag and rushed back to the villa.

The door was still locked, but the lights were on, which meant that someone was home. I rang thebell.

Miss Woods came running out. She opened the door and whispered in my ear, "He just got back.When you come in, speak nicely to him." 1

I understood what Miss Woods meant, so I nodded my head and went inside.

Theo was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking down at his phone. He had a cold look on hisface and did not even glance at me.

Miss Woods nudged me before going into the kitchen t o continue working. I was at a loss, so Ipoured him a glass of water and handed it to him. He looked at it, snorted coldly, and did not take itfrom me.

I put down the glass of water on the table and sat down next to him. I said, "Theo, can we talk?"

He looked up and glanced at me. His dark eyes sank slightly. His voice was low and tinged withmockery." It's my rest time. President Lane, if you want to talk about work, please come to my officetomorrow."

He sounded detached and like a stranger. It was hard for me to hear him speak to me that way.

I ignored the knots in my heart and calmed my mind before I spoke, "Theo, we're not divorced yet,so I'm still Mrs. Grant. Speaking to me like this is emotional abuse."

He finally put his phone down and looked at me before he sneered. "Wait, you still remember thatyou're my wife? If you hadn’t mentioned that, I would have mistaken you as some mysterious richwoman."
