The Woman From Hell

Chapter 171

He raised his head obediently, opened his mouth, and took a sip of water.

"It's late. Let’s go upstairs to sleep.”

"Okay, I'm going home. Wanda is alone at home and I'm worried about her." After saying that, he tried to get up again.

Uh...

Speechless, I pressed him back down into his seat once more and cupped his face. "Theo, I'm Wanda. You're back home already, so let’s go upstairs to sleep now."

He looked at me with misty eyes, the usual coldness i n his eyes now replaced by a hint of warmth. He raised his hand and touched my face, smiling in a very enchanting manner. "What are you doing here? It's dangerous to be out here alone late at night. Come, let's go home.”

What was going on?

"Mm, okay, let's go home!” It was impossible to reason with a drunkard. I clenched my teeth and threw one of his arms over my shoulders, supporting him as we climbed upstairs. We bumped and banged all the way up the stairs and eventually managed to get upstairs

safely, neither of us getting hurt.

After going upstairs, he opened his eyes and looked around before pulling me to the master bedroom.

Upon entering the room through the door, I realized that this place had been renovated again. All the previous furniture had been replaced with new ones i n blue. The closet had now been turned

into a cloakroom. There were not only a few more paintings o n the walls, but our wedding photos had been hung up as well.

Theo had refused to hang our photos up when we had first gotten married. That was why this photo had been kept in the storage room ever since the time it was taken.

The whole room looked even more spacious now. Moreover, there were now more comfortable tones in the room that could ease and enhance one's quality of sleep.

I was surprised by how much he had done in a single afternoon.

When he saw me in a daze, he put on a smug smile." It's pretty, isn’t it? This is a surprise I prepared for you. I knew you would like it."

"Mm, I like it." I nodded. There was a gushing flow of warmth in my heart. Theo was a man who only used a black and white color scheme to decorate his office and home, so him turning the bedroom into what it was now for my sake must have been hard for him.

I helped him to bed. When I walked out of the bathroom with a wet towel and got prepared to wipe down his body, I realized that he had fallen asleep and was even lightly snoring.

I wondered how many glasses he had drunk tonight.

The next morning, Theo woke up very early as though he had not been drunk the night before. He had forgotten everything that had happened while he was drunk, and I did not bring it up either.

As he had not worked for an entire day yesterday, he went to the company to handle some affairs very early in the morning. I had nothing better to do at home, so I followed him to the company.

Heidi had come to work today. After resting for some time, her complexion looked slightly rosier. It looked like she was feeling much better now.

When she saw me, she stood up awkwardly and said," I'm looking for you, Ms. Wanda."

I nodded and pushed the door of the office open.

She had worked with me for many years and was a pretty capable lady. Her working style very much resembled mine, so I was prepared to give her another chance.

After gesturing for her to take a seat, I said, "It's all in the past now. I’ve been really impressed by your competence over all these years, and I think you should keep working with me. However, I hope in future you can keep your personal and professional life separated. I really believe we can both work hard and achieve something great together."

She lowered her head and clenched at the hem of her skirt. After hesitating for a very long time, she finally lifted her head to look at me.

"Thank you so much for your guidance and trust over all these years, Ms. Wanda. I'm really sorry about what happened before this. Unfortunately, I might have to let you down again this time. I'm here today to... resign."

I looked at her in astonishment. "I thought you’d value this job a lot since you’ve worked so hard in your role before this."

I admired Heidi because she worked harder than her peers and valued her job very much.

After a pause, I said, "As I said, we’ll let bygones be bygones. Humans make mistakes. All we need to do is make up for them."

She did not speak, but there was a sadness in her eyes. I could tell that she did not want to leave the job either. Her style of doing things was similar to mine, s o I knew what she was thinking.

"What’s the real reason?" I raised my voice.

She clenched her teeth and finally spoke after a very long time. "I’m getting married. My husband and his family want me to resign to take care of the house."

I could tell that she really did not want to resign.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
