The Woman From Hell

Even though he was smiling now, there was a sharpness to it when he was facing Walter previously. Now, it was only soft. Neil was an ever-changing man. His appearance just now reminded me of Theo.

It was not a thought I should be having. The moment it appeared, I would start to accept him as the same.

I looked at Neil. His features were somewhat similar to Theo's. I got distracted at that.

I only came back to my senses when Neil stretched out his hand and shook it in front of me. "Wanda, are you in shock?"

"No, I'm fine. Thank you." I did not say what I was thinking just now. I just shook my head to express that I was fine.

Hearing this, Neil breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Walter has always been like this, so almost no young woman participates in this."

I realized this to be true when he said this. Even if there were women here, they all had male companions.

"I heard what the others were saying just now. But I heard the way you spoke to him just now. Wouldn't that have dashed your hopes of wanting to form a partnership with him?"

Neil smiled and replied indifferently, "It's okay. I won't bother working with someone like that. It's good enough for me to come here and communicate with some other colleagues. You came with President Grant, did you not? Why were you alone?"

I felt regretful when he asked this. I would have stayed close to Theo if I had known.

"Theo was chatting with some people. I didn't want to disturb them, so I came here. I wanted to try some of the desserts but then bumped into Walter. Thank you. You've helped me again." I was wholly grateful.

"It seems that something happens every time I see you, which ends with me helping you. Is it God's will?" Neil asked as he looked up.

I smiled. "Maybe."

""Wanda?"

Was that Theo's voice?

I did not see him but felt a hand wrap itself around my waist. I turned my head and saw Theo beside me. "Where did you go? I couldn't find you."

"I was in the bathroom.

"I just met the person in charge of Prime Star."

"I know."

"You know?"

I asked suspiciously. How could Theo know?

Sensing my doubts, Theo responded slowly, "I ran into Walter Waters in

that.

A chill went down my spine. I asked, voice soft, "You won't—"

"It's okay, I'll let Keith take care of it." Theo looked at me with a soft expression on his face.

I almost forgot that Neil was still here. I quickly turned to him and saw him staring at me and Theo with a smile on his lips. "Neil helped me out just now. You should thank him." Theo also looked at him when he heard what I said. "Mr. Hendersohn..."

For some reason, he seemed to have stressed the address.

Not comprehending, I tapped Theo. Leaning into his ear, I said, "Don't do this, he just helped me."

"Thank you, Mr. Hendersohn. I didn't know you would be participating." Theo narrowed his eyes. Although his tone was not as sharp as before, it was still chilling.

I did not know why he was so harsh on Neil, but I could not ask him about it easily here.

because of Wanda. You should watch over your beautiful wife, President Grant, lest she gets coveted."

"You needn't trouble yourself, Mr. Hendersohn 'll pay attention." Theo tightened his arms around my waist with a little more force, my entire body leaning towards him. "Let's not bother Mr. Hendersohn anymore. Wanda, let's go."

Theo smiled at me, and I nodded. "Okay. We'll be leaving first, then, Mr. Hendersohn. See you next time."

"Okay," Neil replied to me with a smile.

Theo led me away. His steps were so fast that I could not keep up with him. "Theo, slow down!"
