The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2231

The banquet was ending soon. I looked around the crowd, trying to replace Delia. However, I could not see her.

Theo noticed what I was doing and said, "Lola brought her to meet a lot of people just now, so she's probably resting inside now." "Really now? Then I'll go in to take a look."

I went directly to the room at the back. Delia was sitting there with her heels off her feet. She was taken aback for a moment when she saw me before smiling embarrassedly. "President Lane, I'm sorry. I'm a little tired. I hope you don't mind," she said and quickly put on her shoes.

In all honestly, her taking off her shoes to rest just now was exactly the same as what Cecilia used to do.

One time when we went shopping together, she was so tired that she collapsed in someone's shop. Like Delia, she took off her shoes and sat there to rest, regardless of people looking at her.

I smiled and shook my head. "It's nothing. Rest when you're tired. It's normal."

"As long as you don't mind, President Lane."

"You can call me Wanda. Can I call you Delia?" I asked tentatively. I did not know if it would be too abrupt to make such a request when we had just met, but I just could not help wanting to get close to her.

Delia nodded, a bright smile appearing on her face. "Of course."

"Okay!"

I looked at her, delighted. Her every frown and smile was very similar to Cecilia's.

Seeing my gaze, Delia did not mind it. She just asked me, "Do I really look like that friend of yours?"

"You're not just similar; you're exactly the same. But you're also a little different. She was impatient but also an optimist. She blustered all day as if nothing bothered her. You're different. You're gentle and dignified. It's just that your face is exactly like hers." Looking at her, I could not help the moisture in my eyes.

Obviously, they were two different people, but looking at Delia's face, I unconsciously thought of Cecilia.

Delia looked at me with a smile. "Wanda," she called out a little cautiously as if she was not used to addressing me this way.

Hearing her call me that, I quickly sat up straight. "Yes, just call me Wanda."

"Wanda, what a nice name. I think we can be good friends," she said in a charming manner.

"Really?" I was excited and grabbed her hand.

"Yeah, really." Delia nodded, the affirmation in her eyes relieving me of my psychological burden.

I could not control the joy on my face. "Okay, then we'll be friends from now on."

I was

senseing that maybe Cecilia

at I missed her very much

so she sent a girl who looked like her to be my friend.

"By the way, where are you from?"

"I was living in Salt City with my uncle before this, but later my uncle's work shifted to Jarlston, so I moved there." Hearing this, I was stunned for a moment. "You used to live in Salt City too? Are you from Salt City, then?"

"I was brought up by my uncle, so my household registration has always been in Salt City."

"What a coincidence."

"What's wrong?"

I shook my head. "Nothing. It's just that we were in Salt City before this too and came to Whaldorf City later on." "Then we're fellow Salt City folk."

"Probably."

Delia moved to Jarlston, which was to say I had met Delia when I was in Jarlston earlier. I was not hallucinating. I also met her at the airport when I came back that day.

"It's getting late. I'll be heading off first. I'll contact you another

getting up.

"Okay, see you next time." She waved to me.
