The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2236

There was a cold look in Theo's eyes, and it gave one the feeling of being restrained.

Those eyes instilled fear with the way they stared.

I wanted to tell him off, but Delia was considerate. She patted my hand and shook her head at me. She then responded to Theo's words, "Is it because my agency is far away from here that you think I shouldn't be here, President Grant?"

She smiled softly before picking up the phone on the table and dialing a number. "Sissi, come in for a bit."

After a while, Sissi pushed the door open and entered, "Miss Owens, what's the matter?"

"Please tell President Grant why we're here."

"Oh." Sissi looked at Theo and explained, "Miss Lola arranged an advertisement shoot in a shopping mall near here. We just found a random restaurant to eat in after we were done. We still have more to shoot in the afternoon, so we didn't dare wander far." After she was done explaining, Delia added, "Okay, Sissi, you can go first." Delia's eyes remained on Theo after Sissi left. "Does that explanation satisfy you, President Grant?"

It was obviously just a chance encounter, but Theo made things so complicated.

I glared at Theo. "Are you satisfied now?"

"Please forgive me for overthinking things, Miss Owens." Theo knew he was wrong, and this was considered an apology from him.

"I'm sorry, Delia. Theo is just the cautious sort," I apologized to Delia on Theo's behalf.

She waved her hand. "It's okay."

How great.

Who would have the heart to hurt such a girl?

I admired her more and more, not only because she had the same appearance as Cecilia but also because of her character and personality. "Let's eat."

Lunch was a pleasant affair for me. I

was amazed by many of Delia's experiences during our

conversations. She had practically

spent the exact same time I did in

Salt City with Cecilia.

I felt more and more emotional as I looked at her. If Cecilia was still there, she would be very happy to meet her other self. "Delia, I hope to see you more."

I felt like Cecilia was still by my side as long as I was with her. It seemed that I was being a little greedy with this feeling.

She looked at me with a smile in her eyes and on her lips. "Of course. Remember to ask me out when you have time." "Yes, I definitely will."

"Then, I'll be leaving first. Goodbye, Wanda. See you, President Grant." She bowed slightly toward Theo and then left the restaurant with her assistant.

I felt a little sad watching her leave.

Although she was a newcomer, she had to take part in advertisement

shoots to increase her exposurenet

Her schedule must be so very busy. I did not even know when would be the next time we met.

To the side, Theo had his hands in his pockets as he lowered his head to look at me. "Wanda, I think you're wallowing a little." "What?"

"I said, you're wallowing in Cecilia's memory. That's why you have special feelings for Delia. This isn't a good thing."

Theo's words registered in my ears, and they made me a little angry.

"You embarrassed her just now. I haven't settled the score with you yet. What do you mean, it's not a good thing? I just made a friend, and she's a woman. Why are you so against me making friends?" asked him back, holding onto a ball of fury.

"That's not what I meant."

"Then, what did you mean? Do you doubt her just because she looks like Cecilia? Isn't it unfair to her?"
