The Woman From Hell
Chapter 606

Chapter 606

I must admit that she had a point, and for a moment, I could not refute it.

The girl who came with Caleb seemed to have other things to do and left. Cassey's eyes becameeven brighter. She grabbed my arm and said, "Let's go and share a table with him.”

I forced a smile. "You're the one who likes him, not m e. I won't be going."

I did not want to be a third wheel.

Cassey threw a tantrum. "I don't care, you must come with me."

U H

This noblewoman was actually such a coward?

Afraid that she would get mad if I made fun of her again, I accompanied her over helplessly.

When we walked up to Caleb, Cassey seemed as though she had been possessed by a spirit andcompletely changed. She stood demurely, and whether it was her words or the smile on her face,she looked exactly like a lady from a wealthy family.

"What a coincidence, Mr. Franklin." Cassey raised her hand to flick her hair. "I'm quite surprised tosee you

here."

Caleb wrinkled his eyebrows. "You are?"

I was stunned.

Were the 520 days that Cassey mentioned really just one-sided? She knew Caleb but he did notknow her?

"I'm Cassey, Mr. Franklin." Cassey seemed a little aggrieved now. "We met when you gave a lectureat Whaldorf University last time."

Caleb paused for a moment as if he recalled, then stood up and said, "You're Mr. Louis’ sister, MissCassey!"

Cassey was as happy as a lark seeing that he still remembered her. "Glad you remember. It’s a rarecoincidence that I stumbled into you in Salt City and I have quite a few economics questions to askyou. I wonder if this is a convenient time?"

Caleb let out a warm smile. "Of course, please have a seat."

We had just sat down when Cassey said to me, " Wanda, don't you have to go shopping with yourhusband later?”

Me,"????"

She was getting rid of me once I ceased to be useful!

The corner of my mouth twitched. “I would have forgotten if you didn't mention it. I'll leave the two ofyou to it, then. I’ll be making a move now."

After getting out of the restaurant and into the car, I could not help but sigh. "Turns out that I wasjust being used as a tool."

After driving home, I sat on the sofa in the living room to rest.

It had been two days since Theo went out on a business trip. I suddenly missed him a little andpulled out my mobile phone to give him a call.

The phone rang a few times before it was answered." Have you had dinner, Wanda?"

His voice was somewhat hoarse. It sounded like he was sleeping.

It was only then did I recall that it was currently midnight in France. I said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Iforgot that it's currently midnight over there. Go back t o sleep."

"I’ll sleep later," he said, his voice low and attractive. "I happened to be dreaming of you when youcalled me. Are our hearts linked as one?"

After a pause, he continued asking, "Do you miss me too?"

My face was a little hot as I softly replied, "Mm."

"What does 'mm' mean?" Theo's voice carried a hint of a smile. "So do you miss me or not?"

I fell silent for a few seconds, then took a deep breath and said, "I miss you." i

There were times when words really needed to be expressed or the other party would never know.

On the other end of the call, the man was stunned for a moment. "Wait for me. I'll go back right afterI finish with my business here."

"Mm, I'll wait for you!"

Surely he still needed to work when he woke up in the morning, hence I did not want to take up hissleep time and said, "Have a good rest. I'm hanging up."

I hung up before he could say anything.

I sat on the sofa in the living room for a very long time before unexpectedly picking up my phoneand clicking into the ticketing software to book a flight to France.
