The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1681

“President Grant and President Lane seem so close.”

"That’s right. Would anyone still believe they used to be a fake couple who couldn't stand eachother if they go out into public like this?”

"Exactly. Back then, President Grant..."

They stopped speaking, and I thought it was because Theo had given the talkative employee awarning glare. However, when I looked up, I saw that he was still staring at me flirtatiously as if hehad not heard what they said.

When I turned around, I realized that Cindy was there.

It was the afternoon rush hour, which meant more and more people were walking over to take theescalator. They all had curious expressions when they saw Theo and me, but they immediately hidthe giddy smiles on their faces after they came closer and saw Cindy.

This time, I shoved Theo away despite his reluctance. However, I was no match for him in terms ofstrength and had no choice but to continue allowing him to hug me.

When he noticed me staring awkwardly at a spot behind me, he also turned around to look. Hisreaction when he saw Cindy was not as exaggerated as mine was. However, he still seemedstunned as if he had not expected this to happen. His lips curled upward slightly in a polite greeting.

When he turned back around, the group of people standing behind us began talking amongthemselves softly as they could no longer hold back their excitement.

"President Lane is amazing. She even managed to seduce President Grant, who's such a prodigalson."

"I've said this before, but President Lane is gorgeous. Look at her. She's pregnant now, but she stillseems so feminine. Are there any other women who would be able to do that?’’

A layer of sweat formed on my scalp when I heard that. I was tempted to take the stairs when I sawhow slowly the elevator was descending.

Initially, I was worried that the group of women in the entertainment industry would begin discussingCindy and Theo’s past after witnessing the incident.

The parties involved did not mind since it was something that had happened in the past. However, itwould still be awkward having to hear others discuss it.

I did not expect them to end up discussing my figure!

I had suddenly become the person in an awkward situation without having the chance to preparemyself beforehand.

The elevator finally arrived with a ding. I hurriedly strode in, and Theo was quick to follow me. Hisface was angled so that the others could not see him, and there was an evil grin on it.

I was so angry that I pinched his waist. He hissed in pain but could not express it on his face as itwould not be appropriate.

Hmph! Served him right.

After all that fuss, I had not even noticed that no one else had entered the elevator after us. I onlynoticed that the elevator was still empty when the doors were about to close.

"Aren’t you guys coming in?”

"We're waiting for the rest of our colleagues, President Lane and President Grant. You may goahead."

I glanced through the group and noted that no one seemed interested in coming in. When my gazefinally landed on Cindy, she was not shy to give me a disdainful look.

Come to think of it, it made sense. Things would only become even more awkward if anyone elsecame in, so I did not insist any longer.

The doors slowly slid shut. I had just heaved a sigh of relief when Theo sidled up to me.

’You pinched me.

I replied nonchalantly, "I know. It was your fault for grinning so evilly."

I pretended to be upset so I could conceal my embarrassment.

"So, do you know what my smile meant?"

I did not understand what he was trying to say until he came closer and let me feel his throbbinglower parts.

"Stop messing around. We're in the company now," I said as I turned my head the other way toavoid looking at him directly.

"This is my company."

A passionate kiss landed on my lips the minute he finished speaking...
