The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2262

Back in the office, Shannon, who had been waiting for me for a long time, greeted me immediately.

"Did you meet Cole?" she asked.

I nodded. "Yes, I did."

"What did you two talk about?"

I sat in my seat, playing with a pen. "He helped me yesterday."

Hearing this, curiosity revealed itself on Shannon's face. "What did he help you with?"

I told Shannon what happened at the Schumans' residence last night. She was also surprised when she heard it. "That's strange. Why does it feel like Cole knows you very well?"

"I think so too."

That was why I said what I said. Perhaps he really did know everyone around me.

Why did he say he did not, though?

What was the purpose of lying?

Shannon held her chin but could not think of anything either. She patted my head. "Alright, don't force yourself if you can't figure it out. Things will work out, and the truth will come out one day." "Yes, I'll stop here. Let's work."

We were busy with the company for the next three months.

With the continuous increase in sales, Green Orange was gradually getting on the right track.

I could not accompany Munchkin for several weekends because of all the work with the company. In the end, it was Delia who brought him out to play, and their relationship became better and better. The weather was gradually cooling and when I came out of the company at ten o'clock in the evening. A gust of cool wind made me shiver.

It was only October, but the temperature had dropped so much.

Most importantly, there was a large temperature difference between night and day. It was still exceedingly hot during the day, but the nights felt like winter.

The car had been sent for maintenance, so Theo had been sending me to the company these past few days. However, Theo seemed to be working overtime today and was not here yet.

I called him, and his apologetic voice sounded through the receiver, "Wanda, I still have some work, so I might be late. I'll ask Keith to take you home."

"It's alright. It'll be faster if I take a taxi."

"I'll have Keith go over."

"No, really. I see a car coming."

"Alright, tell me when you get home."

"Okay."

Hanging up the call, I walked forward. I did not manage to stop the car, so I had to walk for a bit.

It had been a long time since I had walked this road. A cool breeze swept over me, and I sniffled.

Just then, a suit jacket was draped over me.

I looked to the side and was

surprised. "Marius?" I had forgotten how long it had been since I last saw him. He looked to have matured a

lot now that we ment belongs to Narugi.com

"Sis Wan, do you still remember me?" He still sounded like a kid when he spoke, though. Marius looked at me. "Why are you walking around wearing such little clothes? Where's Theo?"

"He can't come since he's working overtime. I was thinking of catching a taxi up ahead."

"Let me drop you off. My car is in the front."

"Okay."

I followed Marius to his car and got in.

Marius was silent along the way. He was totally different from how he was before.

Wrapping the coat around myself, I thought of asking him about it, but I did not know how to start.

As if noticing my movements, Marius's mouth curled slightly. "What's wrong, Miss Lane? Feeling a little chilly?"

"Ah, no, it just feels a little quiet," I responded a little uncomfortably.

It used to be so relaxed and pleasant interacting with Marius before, but now, I felt pressured by his side. It wasan inexplicable pressure

"Listen to some music," he said and turned on the radio.

The atmosphere seemed to improve with some music.

BUMS

Clearing my throat, I asked softly, "I haven't seen you for a few months. What have you been up to?"
