The Woman From Hell
Chapter 418

Chapter 418

After Theo coaxed me to have something to eat, I felt a little tired and went back to sleep.

I slept through the night. When I woke up in the morning, I was a little speechless when I saw Theobeside me on the bed.

Did he not have to go to work?

Was his company bankrupt?

Even so, this man was perfectly good-looking. All those years ago, he was the man of every girl’sdreams in Salt City. I squinted to admire his ridiculous good looks. Even though his hair was a littledisheveled, he still looked enticing. His eyes were a little red-rimmed. He exuded a casual yetelegant aura that made him breathtakingly sexy.

What a dashing man. It was a shame he had a nasty mouth.

I pouted a little and lost the interest to continue admiring him. I removed the blanket around me andwas about to get out of bed.

As I sat up from the bed, a muscular arm snaked around my waist.

"Why are you up so early?” Theo's lazy voice drawled i n my ears, and it was incredibly alluring.

I looked at my phone that was on the dresser and showed it to him. "It's almost nine in the morning,how is this early?”

Theo snuggled into the crook of my neck. "It's early."

“Don't you have to go back to the office?" I could not help but ask him.

Theo hugged me tighter. "I'll be swamped with work i n the next few days, so I took time off to bewith you."

"But I'm busy these few days." I pushed his face away and said with disdain, "Stop hugging me. Iwant to get up."

Theo lifted his head and looked at me unhappily. "I thought you're done with the backlog fromwork?"

I was speechless. "There's still work to be done! It's not like I have nothing to do anymore once Ifinish that pile of work."

Theo glared at me, and after a long while, he reluctantly released me.

After washing up and having breakfast, Theo sent me t o my workplace.

As soon as I got down from the car, I realized that Theo was trailing behind me. I stopped, turnedaround, and looked at him with a confused face. "Why are you following me?"

Theo shrugged and said as matter-of-factly, "I'm going to work with you."

My face was stoic. "I don’t need you to come with me t o work."

"You do."

"No, I don’t."

Suddenly, Theo hugged me around the waist. "If you don't let me go with you, I won't let go."

"Theo Grant!" He was about to drive me up the wall.

I felt the gazes of many people around us and gritted m y teeth. "Let me go and we can talk aboutthis. If you don't, this conversation is over."

Theo immediately released me.

"Listen to me." I took a deep breath. "Did you know that you caught the attention of everyone whenyou sent me to work the other day? If you follow me to work today, the employees downstairs will bespeculating the entire day!"

Theo smirked. "Let them speculate, then. They don't have anything else to speculate on other thanthis anyway. Let's just satisfy their curiosity. When they're used to me being around, they’ll no longerfeel like it’s a rare sight."

He made so much sense I had nothing to refute him with.

I accepted my fate and brought him into my office building with me. This was the time wheneveryone was busy with their own work, so when Theo and I made a beeline to the elevator, we didnot attract much attention till we reached the top floor.

I sat in my chair and was prepared to start working once we were in my office.

Theo sat on the sofa and stared at me. "You look beautiful today."

"Thanks." I was unfazed.

Theo narrowed his eyes as he continued, "Don't put on lipstick anymore from today onward. Itcauses me to struggle like I am right now. I just want to lean over and kiss you."
