The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2543

I still did not understand what Theo was trying to do today by the time I got home.

He just asked me about my purpose for looking for Gareth Zeke and even...

I wiped my freshly washed hair and subconsciously touched my lips. Was he aware of what he was doing?

All of a sudden, I quivered. Was I remembering that?

I had gone mad!

Just when I was thinking of this, I suddenly received a message on my phone. It was from Don, whom I had not seen in a long time. [That meal you promised me, shall we have it tomorrow?] Of course.

I replied to him and quickly received another message from him. He had written down the place and time.

The next day, I arrived as promised.

It was a rather romantic French restaurant.

"You've got a pretty good eye, Professor Logan, to have chosen this place." I had seen numerous people check in here online and had thought about giving it a try yet never had the time to.

Don smiled lightly, looking much like a gentleman. "The reviews were pretty good, so I thought of trying the place out."

"Yeah. Have you ordered?"

"Yes. Take a look and see if there's anything you'd like." He handed me the menu and told me the dishes he had already ordered.

I noted it was basically all the signature dishes, so I did not order anything else.

"You must have something you wish to discuss for inviting me out for dinner all of a sudden, don't you, Professor Logan?" I somehow felt that something was off with Don's demeanor today. I asked what I did since he obviously had something to say. Having got the nail on the head, he smiled embarrassedly and then slowly said, "So you saw through me. I do, in fact, have a favor to ask."

""Let's hear it."

"I have a seminar tonight and am in need of a female companion. I was wondering if you would join me?"

I frowned when I heard this. "Your seminar should be a pretty professional event, no? Why do you need a female companion?"

"It's run by an expert, but he prefers a more relaxed environment. Thus, he organized the seminar to be like a reception, which is why I need a female companion."

"So, that's the case. Since you've helped with so much, it won't hurt if I help you this time." I did not think there was anything wrong with it, so I agreed.

Don looked delighted. He picked up a beautiful bag from the ground and pushed it in front of me. "I've prepared the dress. You can change into it after dinner."

I opened the bag and took a look.

The dress shone with sequins

and was eye-catching. I suddenly found this to be a little exaggerated. "Isn't this dress too grand?"

"The expert is from abroad, and the seminar has been organized to have this sort of theme. I'm sorry to trouble you."

"It's fine, it's fine. Let's eat first, then."

After finishing our French dinner, we then looked for a place for me to change my clothes. Standing before the full-length mirror, the dress was so gorgeous it made me feel that something was a little off, yet I could not put my finger on it.

"Are you done, Wanda?"

"Yes."

I opened the door, and Don's eyes shone when he saw me. "It looks excellent. It suits you. Let's go, then."

"Alright."

I got into his car, and Don started following the navigation.

The place was looking more and more remote looked out the window. There were trees, flowers and plants everywhere. This scene was rather familiar, but I could not remember where I had seen it. I supposed all remote locations

looked similar.

I did not mind it, and time slowly passed. "Are we not there yet?"

"We're almost there. I'm sure you're tired."

"Just a little. This seminar place of yours is pretty far."

"Yes. It's held at the expert's own villa, so it's a little far."

His own villa?
