The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2608

"Alright, I'm done watching this show. I'll let you two have some time alone. I won't bother you for now. You have to tell me everything when you come to the company tomorrow. I'm leaving now." Shannon left in a huff after she said that. She was even considerate enough to close the door for us. After she left, Theo let down his guard completely and pulled me into his arms. "It's been a long time since I hugged you like this."

My hands on his broad chest, I said with a smile, "Nonsense. We hugged back then in the private room."

I still recalled asking Theo to meet in the private room during the appreciation banquet back then. I would not have had to reapply my lipstick if he had not kissed me. We almost aroused Nicky's suspicion.

"Oh, I forgot. It's probably because that moment didn't last long enough. Why don't I make up for it now?"

He lowered his head and raised my chin after he said that.

His cold, thin lips pressed against mine. He went deeper and deeper each time, depriving me of oxygen.

Sensing that I was struggling, Theo let go of me. He frowned at my rosy complexion and smiled. "You taste good."

He reached his hand up to rub the corners of his lips that had been stained red. It was a charming gesture.

I eyed him and said, "You rogue."

"It's not against the law to kiss your own wife."

Theo rarely laughed like he was some villain.

"Don't forget we're divorced now, so I'm not your wife," I said with a smile.

Theo wrapped his hands around my slender waist. "So, when are we going to get our marriage registered again?"

"I've no thoughts about that for now." I dodged his embrace in a haughty yet coy manner and took a seat.

His expression changed as he took a seat as well. He watched me quietly. "It doesn't matter. You won't be able to get rid of me for the rest of your life anyway."

"It's not hard for me to think about marrying you. It'll depend on your performance."

"If that's the case, then why don't you move back first? It's not good for you to be staying at the apartment anyway," Theo suggested.

I was not in a hurry to move back to the villa.

"As if I don't know what you're thinking." I pouted. Men were all the same.

Theo looked at me. "It's been so long. Don't you miss me?"

"Since when were you so flirtatious, President Grant? Let's get down to business. Tell me, what exactly does a partnership with Nibel mean?"

Nibel had told me at the beginning that he wanted to go up against Theo. Yet, now, Nibel did a turnaround and wanted a partnership. What was he planning?

Theo's expression turned serious

when I brought this topic up. "Nibel has never been organized, and he seldom trusts people. He must be wary of you now since he's figured out that we aren't actually at odds with one another. He's probably already figured out a new plan."

"He wanted to go up against you, but he's now asking for a partnership with you. Won't you two have shared interests if that were the case? How

would he go up against you?" I frowned, slowly expressing my thoughts. However, I very quickly figured it out. "No, he wants to work with you so that he can understand you better."

The clear snapping of fingers sounded, and Theo raised his eyebrows. "Yes. That's what he wants, but we'll only know what he plans to do specifically after we work together. In short, we should

just work with him."

"To be honest, I don't really get it either. Now that the truth is out, he has no reason to want me to help him."

"The matter with Delia is settled, but Nibel is just getting started."

Theo's solemnity made me realize the seriousness of the situation. It looked like this partnership with Nibel was a very important matter.
