The Woman From Hell

I did not go back to Green Orange but went to Grant Corporation directly.

Theo shut the door tight when he saw me. There were only the two of us in the office.

"How did it go?" he asked.

I sighed and shook my head. "He didn't give me an answer right away. I said I'll give him two days. If I don't hear from him in two days, I'll take it as he's given up." "Well done." Theo patted me on the shoulder. "That's the way. The initiative is in my hands."

Theo looked steady but I was inexplicably agitated. "Do you think he'll see through us?"

"Sylvester's mind should now wholly be on how to revitalize the Yards. He won't think too much about anything else, let alone what you are going to do."

His words made sense and I gradually calmed down. "I hope we'll hear good news."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and Theo and I stopped talking.

"Theowy, I brought someone over."

Cindy had brought Arthur over. When she noticed I was here, her expression obviously changed. Then she looked back at Theo and smiled.

"Grant Corporation is looking for Arthur to be a spokesperson?" I asked.

"Yes. The company recently released a workout series. Arthur's image and style suits it quite well."

Arthur smiled a big smile. "President Lane, I hope to learn from you."

"No, I'm not with Grant Corporation anymore. Just call me by my name."

"Okay, Miss Wanda."

Miss Wanda sounded like quite the familiar address. I could not help but think back to the day he had chatted with Shannon so happily. I wonder if they were still in touch. Theo and Arthur sat down to sign the agreement while Cindy and I stood to one side.

From the corner of my eye, I noticed Cindy looked like she wanted to say something and could not help but turn to her. "Do you have something you want to tell me?" I said softly so that only the two of us could hear.

QUMS

Cindy nodded. She hesitated a little before starting, "Uhm... I didn't treat you well the last time we met. I'm sorry." Back then...?

I could not help but think back to that time at Salt City's beach side. She had indeed treated me a little poorly.

However, I could not be mad at her either since I knew she was not aware of what was going on back then. She had also been worried for Theo. "It's alright. I already forgot about it."

Cindy bit her pink lips lightly before

continuing, "It feels like I've

constantly been treating you poorly. I'm sorry You did so much forThis is from NôvelDrama.Org.

Theowy you also helped him so net

much can properly call you my sister-in-law now. Don't be too happy though. If you do anything to disappoint Theo in the future, I will

definitely turn against you."

As she spoke solemnly, I suddenly felt that she was still the little girl back then. Even though she made mistakes, everything was fine now.

I smiled. "It's okay. I accept your apology."

"Is that the only thing you heard? I said so many other things and you just ignored them." Even though Cindy said this in an accusing tone, Cindy's there was still a smile on her lips.

I knew her grudge against me was gone now.

It really has not been easy. It took so many years to convince him.

"What are you talking about there?" Theo returned his gaze to us after he was done.

Cindy and I looked up and answered, "It's nothing."

Although Theo was surprised there was still a smile on his face. "This is the first time I've seen you guys behave civilly. Let's have dinner together tonight."

"No, I want to go back to have dinner with my husband, so I won't disturb your two-person world. Arthur, let's go," Cindy waved to Arthur.

Arthur bowed politely to us before leaving.
