The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2317

I ended the video call, and Theo also came out.

He wiped his hair and looked at me. "Who were you talking to?"

"Shannon. She was very excited when she heard that Hyperspace intends to form a partnership with us." I smiled back at Theo. I was also ecstatic.

It was an exciting endeavor to be favored by big brands regardless of which during Green Orange's early stages.

I looked at Theo, and he seemed more refreshed. "Do you feel better after taking a bath?"

Theo was stunned for a moment before he nodded. "Yes, much better."

He went to the desk and switched on the hairdryer.

I quietly watched him dry his hair.

The same fragrance was enveloping our bodies. The body wash was of my own choosing. It smelled good, and I liked it.

"What?"

Seeing me looking at him the entire time, Theo put down the hairdryer and asked while looking at me.

I shook my head, chuckling. "What? I can't even look at you?"

"It's getting late. Go to bed." Theo looked up at the time and then came to the bed.

I lay down, and he turned off the bedside light.

I turned to the side and hugged him in the dark. "Mr. Faust said that he got to know about Green Orange because someone recommended us to him. Was it you?" Theo wrapped his arms around my waist and responded in a low voice, "No."

It was not Theo?

I could not think of anyone else who could have recommended us and to such a big brand no less.

"Maybe they noticed you."

"Mr. Faust was the one who said this. Someone must have recommended us. But besides you, I really can't think of anyone else."

Did I know such a powerful person who not only knew such a big company but was also able to get in contact with them?

Even if I cracked open my skull, I could not think of who it could be.

Theo probably expected me to still be racking my head. He reached out and knocked on my head. "Stop thinking about it. Go to sleep." It was quite a hard knock.

It was a little painful, so I raised my head carefully. Although it was pitch-black, I could still see Theo's outline. "Are you sober?" "I'm not drunk," he responded lightly.

Not drunk?

I paused. "You're not drunk, but you

were acting like that just now. What were you thinking about? By the way, I was occupied by a whole group of people tonight and didn't

see you around after that. Where did you go?" Narugi

"There were a lot of people to deal with, so I hid."

It was exactly as I thought.

"Alright, I guessed that too. You shouldn't attend such a banquet anymore in the future."

"Yeah."

I heard Theo's soft response from above my head and was stunned for a moment. "What did you say?"

"Nothing." He tried denying it.

I had so obviously heard him though.

Forget it. It was not a big issue.

I got closer to Theo and reached out my hand to trace his lips. They were a little cold.

"What's wrong?" His low voice reverberated, carrying a charm in the dark.

I took the initiative to kiss his cold

"Let's... forget it today."

"Yes, sleep early."

I rolled over. It was the first time he rejected me.

I could not hide my feeling of loss.

I felt warmth from behind me. Theo hugged me. He leaned in close to my ear. "Sorry, I'm a little tired today."

"It's okay. Go to bed." I turned back to him.

"Good night."

His 'good night' made me feel a little lonely.

Was he really just tired?

I heard Theo's even breathing even before I closed my eyes.

Was he already asleep?

It looked like he was really exhausted.

Alright, I would let it go considering he helped me today.

I let myself go, then closed my eyes and soon fell asleep...
